Best Pieces Ranked From Worst To Best
S+ Tier: The Meta Dominators (Game-Changers)
These are the absolute best units in the game. They possess high-impact abilities, massive AOE damage, or unparalleled utility that can single-handedly turn the tide of any match.
- Rogue Guard: A powerhouse for Demon lineups. His passive splash damage tears through grouped enemies, while his active ability grants an insane +150 attack boost to all ally Demons.
- Khan: Provides top-tier crowd control (CC). His axe crack pulls enemy units together, stuns them, and inflicts devastating maximum HP percentage damage.
- God of Thunder: The ultimate magical threat. He strikes multiple targets down with global thunder pressure and has a 50% chance to chunk away a massive portion of the enemy’s remaining HP.
- Tsunami Stalker: One of the legendary frontline initiators. His massive AOE knock-up and 2-second stun completely disable the entire enemy board.
- Dark Spirit: The ultimate tank-melter. His percentage-based pure damage area bypasses all armor and magic resistance, making him essential against high-HP synergies like Knight or Cave Clan.
- Devastator: Drops a massive explosive bomb that deals unmatched physical AOE burst damage, capable of wiping out low-health backlines instantly.
- Helicopter: Launches high-impact dual missile strikes that rain down immense magical AOE damage across a massive 4-grid radius.
- Strange Egg: The most flexible utility unit in Auto Chess history. It acts as a universal wild card, allowing players to upgrade any high-value chess piece instantly.
- Frostblaze Dragon: Shuts down enemy positioning. His Icebound wall divides the battlefield, lowers enemy attack speed, and breaks enemy targeting AI.
- The Scryer: A hyper-adaptive legendary unit. Her ultimate automatically scales based on the enemy’s strongest synergy while her passive constantly feeds her mana and silences opponents.
- Sacred Lancer: A hyper-carry that scales harder as her health drops. Sacrificing HP triggers insane attack speed, magic resistance, and health regeneration.
- Space Walker: Exploits [Chi] stacks to unleash straight-line cleave damage that deals up to 350% physical burst and stuns multiple targets.
- Phantom Queen: A highly mobile Assassin that teleports into the backline and instantly dishes out fast, low-cooldown magical burst damage.
- Shining Assassin: Infuses critical survivability into the Assassin build. Her ability grants physical avoidance shields while significantly boosting her raw damage.
- Cannon Granny: Features extended attack range and heavy continuous scaling. Her cannons stack attack speed debuffs on high-value enemy targets.
- Redfox Swordsman: A swift duelist that rolls through enemy formations, striking multiple times with boosted normal attack damage.
- Shadow Devil: The core engine of Demon and Warlock builds. He releases 8 directional shockwaves that multiply in count for every active Demon on your board.
- Bad Omen: Dominates the late game by summoning multiple Lava Demons that burn nearby enemies, deal pure damage, and stun targets while multiplying upon enemy deaths.
- Light Spirit: A CC-reliant hyper-attacker. He reliably petrifiers targets every 3 hits and unleashes pure-damage follow-up attacks when enemies are controlled.
- Soul Blade: High mobility assassin that teleports to the furthest grid and expends Soul Marks to convert raw attacks into massive fixed physical burst.
- Dualplot: The cornerstone of Pandaman builds. He gathers [Chi] stacks from friendly ability casts to continuously chain heavy martial moves.
S Tier: Elite Core Units
These units form the structural backbone of high-tier competitive compositions. They offer high reliability, excellent synergy potential, and strong standalone value.
- Doom Arbiter: The ultimate single-target counter. His lockdown silence completely shuts down an essential enemy carry or initiator for 10 seconds.
- Cave Prodigy: Revives the highest-cost fallen unit with full initial mana, effectively duplicating your strongest board assets at their native star levels.
- Thorn Predator: A premium defensive frontliner. His spiked carapace completely blocks incoming instances of damage and reflects stuns back to attackers.
- Razorclaw: The reliable Druid carry. He summons a tanky spirit bear that frequently roots enemy targets, tilting the numbers advantage in your favor.
- Dragon Knight: The premier transform carry. Once transformed, his extended range and splash magical auto-attacks allow him to carry entire mid-to-late game fights.
- Siren: Provides an undeniable frontline crowd control check. Enemies looking in her direction suffer massive attack speed reductions before turning to stone.
- Storm Shaman: The best Shaman initiator. His static storm covers a wide area, applying a blanket silence that prevents enemy frontliners from casting their ultimates.
- Venomancer: Changes the landscape of the board by dropping massive armor-reducing acid mists while regenerating heavy health pools via high-speed auto-attacks.
- Pirate Captain: Packs a top-tier AOE boat stun that heavily disrupts enemy formations while dealing solid baseline physical damage.
- Tortola Elder: The premium Mage hyper-carry. His long-range channeled wave sweeps across the entire board, deleting squishy backlines with magical force.
- Soul Reaper: Provides incredible sustain. His low-cooldown burst heals your entire frontline while simultaneously dealing magical decay to nearby enemies.
- Grimtouch: Acts as an incredible ability multiplier. His ink wave marks multiple targets, forcing single-target spells to replicate across all linked units.
- Sunchaser Shaman: Shapes the battlefield terrain by creating impassable rock walls that knock back, stun, and isolate enemy pieces.
- Jade General: A highly efficient crowd-control unit that strikes columns or rows with heavy stuns, resetting its cooldown instantly upon securing a kill.
- Thunder Trace: A fast-moving assassin-mage hybrid. He zips across the board dealing damage based on distance traveled, with an instant cooldown reset on kill.
- Dominator: Drops a powerful spatial zone that imprisons passing enemy units while granting himself an immense 100% attack speed steroid.
- Fire Spirit: Provides reliable burns and consistent zoning power to squeeze out valuable advantages in prolonged skirmishes.
A Tier: Strong Synergy & Pocket Picks
Units that are exceptionally good within their specific compositions or serve as highly effective transition pieces during the mid-game.
- Gem Artisan, Umbra, Evil Knight, Venom, Warpwood Sage: Great foundational blocks for builds like Feathered, Dragon, Knight, or Druid, providing stable baselines.
- Wind Ranger, Shadowcrawler, Werewolf, Berserker: Excellent mid-game carries that can deal heavy physical or magical burst when equipped with proper items.
- Argali Knight, Flamming Wizard, Thunder Spirit, Water Spirit: Core damage dealers for Mage or Divinity comps, capable of bursting down boards if left unchecked.
- Poisonous Worm, Fallen Witcher, Lord of Sand, Hell Knight: Powerful synergy enablers that apply constant pressure through summons or high single-target physical damage.
- Fortune Teller, Grand Herald: Highly defensive or reactive utility choices that save low-health allies or steal valuable enemy skills.
- God of War, Dwarf Sniper, Abyssalcrawler, Skull Hunter, Swordman: Strong early-to-mid game frontline and backline anchors that remain stable options through the transition phases.
- Spider Queen, Otter Hunter, Nightmare, Ghost Kid, Plume Warrior: Great flexible pieces that offer valuable crowd control, forced repositioning, or strong tribal tags.
B Tier: Average & Situational Fillers
These units are usually bought early on for economy/win-streaks or kept purely to activate specific synergy thresholds (e.g., Glacier, Mech, Marine).
- Soul Devourer, Wisper Seer, Taboo Witcher: Mostly used to lock down enemy mana or accelerate early economy setups before being sold later.
- Lightblade Knight, Egersis Ranger, Shining Archer: Suffer from lower baseline stats but serve as necessary stepping stones for Knight, Egersis, or Hunter synergies.
- Desperate Doctor, Abyssal Guard, Ripper, Tusk Champion, Frost Knight: Decent early frontline or stun options that fall off hard in the late game due to limited scaling.
- Heaven Brew, Sunchaser Servant, Deep Dive: Situational picks that rely heavily on rolling perfect compositions or specific itemization to be effective.
- Stone Spirit, Heaven Bomber, Soul Breaker, Ember Blade: Fast early game units that lack the raw power or AOE scaling required for high-rank late game boards.
C Tier: Weak & Niche Units
These units have poor individual stats or skills. You should only buy them in the opening rounds or if you absolutely need them to complete a synergy.
- Unicorn: Primarily bought to trigger the Druid upgrade economy or for minor early-game healing before being sold for a profit.
- Winter Chiropteran: Her target-freeze ability can accidentally save an enemy or ruin an ally’s positioning if mis-timed by the AI.
- Goddess of Light, Sky Breaker, Redaxe Chief: Basic meat-shields that offer very little damage or utility once the lobby reaches the mid-game.
- Defector, Resentful Murk: Single-target crowd control units that take too long to cast or have weak baseline impacts in massive teamfights.
D Tier: Out of Meta / Bottom Tier
The worst performing unit in the game. Avoid unless forced by the very first round.
- Ogre Mage: Suffers from inconsistent RNG skill scaling and an extremely weak synergy profile. His stats do not justify a slot on any serious competitive end-game board.
Auto Chess Mobile Tier List Criteria
To rank every chess piece accurately, we evaluate them based on three core pillars in the current meta:
- Impact (\(S+\) to \(S\) Tier): Units with high-impact AOE damage, massive crowd control (CC), or high flexibility that can single-handedly turn the tide of a match.
- Synergy (\(A\) to \(B\) Tier): Units that serve as the essential backbone or bridging pieces for top-tier meta compositions (e.g., Mages, Knights, Feathered).
- Viability (\(C\) to \(D\) Tier): Early-game eco fillers or highly situational units that fall off drastically in the late game and offer little to no competitive value.
