Make your first move in Magic Chess: Go Go

You already know that Mobile Legends: Bang Bang ’s ( MLBB ) heroes’ got the moves. Now there’s another way to test their mettle – by moving off the battlefield and onto the chequered board to face against other tacticians in the epic matches of auto battler Magic Chess: Go Go ( MCGG ).

Start with a handful of heroes, then grow your team’s power through randomised recruitment. Equipment, trait synergies and hero positioning all play a part in your strategy until you beat all seven other players in the match and come out on top. Here’s a closer look at how.

Familiar faces, new playground

Leading commanders? Fighting heroes? In one form or another, you’ll find many of MLBB ’s most recognisable faces such as Layla, Guinevere and Ling in MCGG .

Playing helps you unlock commanders who can be levelled up through the Star Trail. Each commander has their own hero-buffing ability like Layla’s combat hologram or Chou’s gold-earning boost. And they can be customised with skins, effects and emotes.

Heroes carry over their class designations and signature moves from MLBB , so seasoned players will already know what each hero is best at. And if you’re new to this game universe, MCGG ’s Gallery feature will tell you all you need to know about the game’s core mechanics and hero capabilities.

Play your cards right

MCGG comes with the usual hallmarks of the auto battler genre: a randomised list of heroes to buy from, a strength-boosting merging mechanic, synergies that are created when you collect enough heroes of the same traits and so on.

What you might not have seen though, are MCGG ’s Go Go Cards. Acquire up to three of them during the course of a match, and each one will grant a powerful teamwide bonus that could shape your entire strategy.

One may make all heroes stronger if you have less than four active synergies, while another will give extra defence to all heroes on the same row when there are at least three of them. And with more than 130 cards, you’re bound to get a wholly new combo for each match, opening up innovative strategic choices.

The right Go Go Cards can change the tide.

Ready for opening moves

It can be quite daunting to figure out which heroes create what synergies, so MCGG has a handy Lineup feature to help guide you through this discovery process.

Through the Recommended Lineup list, you can see detailed guides on viable team builds, where to place the heroes, optimal commanders and Go Go cards to pair with each build and more. During each match, you’ll also see recommendations in the hero shop, giving you advice based on the line-ups you’ve chosen to save.

Make your first move and become the ultimate strategy grandmaster in the Land of Dawn. MCGG ’s magical chessboard awaits.
