📚 How Does Auto Chess Work? Auto Battler Rules Explained

Each round you get gold, refresh a shop of random units, buy what fits your plan, and arrange your board. Then combat resolves on its own against another player or an AI wave. Losing costs health; when your health hits zero you are out. Matches usually run until one of eight players is left standing.

Units belong to factions and classes, and fielding several of the same type unlocks a shared bonus. Collecting three copies of a unit merges them into a stronger version. Meanwhile gold earns interest, so choosing between spending now for a safe win and saving to build a stronger board later is the central tension of the genre.

Since you cannot act during the fight, the board layout is your only combat input. Front-line units absorb damage while ranged carries stay in the back corners, away from assassins that jump the backline. Watching a lost round replay to see which unit died first is usually the fastest way to learn what to move.
