Optimal Team Formation in Auto Chess VN
1. Horizontal Lineup
- Characteristics: Arrange melee units in a horizontal line and ranged units behind. This formation is commonly used when players deploy many melee units, often applied with tanky factions like Warriors or Knights. Place these tanky melee units in a front horizontal line to tank and fight, while other units capable of dealing high damage or shooting from afar stand behind to deal damage without fear of enemy armor
- Advantages: Strong, high HP, thick armor, allowing enemies to deal damage freely. This lineup is also incredibly annoying with the ability to surround, outmaneuver opponents, making it difficult for enemies to focus on a specific target
- Weaknesses: Melee units often deal single-target damage, so they lack the necessary amount of damage towards the end of the match, unless you have 3-star units or higher. This formation is often vulnerable to Assassins who can jump to the backline to attack and eliminate key damage dealers.
2. Clustered in One Corner
- Characteristics: The team is usually grouped in the left or right corner of the board, where tanky units will surround and fragile yet high-damage units will stand inside. This is often applied when playing Human - Mage compositions.
- Advantages: Protects fragile, high-damage units from attacks by melee enemies or Assassins, allowing these units time to build up energy to unleash powerful damaging skills against enemies.
- Cons: This lineup tends to falter against opponents with wide-area damage combos, hence it's not commonly used in the early stages of the match but usually transitions towards the end, when players have built a fairly complete lineup with better crowd control and survivability.
3. Unique Formation
- Characteristics: Interlacing horizontally, the first cell placed above, the next cell below. This formation can be applied to various lineups. Typically, melee units are placed in upper positions and ranged units in lower cells. Often applied to Knight compositions with a lineup of ranged units with high damage output standing behind, such as Hunters.
- Pros: This formation creates gaps causing enemy units to disperse damage while still ensuring the protection of fragile ranged units positioned behind. It also facilitates timely retreat of ranged units to protect rear units when threatened by assailants like assassins, while rear units can provide maximum support to the front line.
- Drawbacks: Highly reliant on situations due to the unpredictable movement of units, which can result in units moving unintentionally, leaving flanks exposed or attacking the wrong position, thus failing to deal sufficient damage or focus on the intended target. Sometimes leads to a situation where a crucial unit has to endure attacks, leading to the team's downfall.
4. Sacrificial Formation
- Characteristics: Positioning a unit with high damage-dealing skills at the front, equipping this unit with some defensive items to withstand attacks better. This unit will absorb most of the damage and rapidly regenerate energy to unleash its skills first, inflicting significant damage on most enemies.
- Advantages: This formation will help you incur minimal losses but can break the enemy team early on, allowing the remaining units to swiftly clean up.
- Drawbacks: If the enemy possesses the ability to control sacrificial units, your plan will crumble. Additionally, this formation requires you to have sufficiently powerful sacrificial units, typically at least 4-cost and reaching 2 stars to effectively deal damage to enemies. They are difficult to acquire and costly.
Here are 4 optimal formations in Auto Chess VN that players often apply, suitable for all newcomers. Of course, no formation is the best or strongest because it depends on how you utilize units and the situation on the chessboard. Skilled players adapt and constantly change their formations, making unpredictable moves that leave opponents helpless. Enjoy playing the game!
