Dota Auto Chess: Io appeared in the test server; Ogre Magi and Lich removed from the game

The Dota Auto Chess test server continues to add new updates on April 27. A new hero will join Elf-Druid.

Io will act like Druid, but with a slight difference. This piece will help any two non-Druid heroes gain 2-star or 3-star. However, at the moment, Io cannot upgrade himself to 3-star.

Update test server on April 27

Gameplay:

New Hero: Io (Elf/Druid)

• 1-star Io can help upgrade other 1-star heroes
• 2-star Io can help upgrade other 2-star heroes
• No 3-star Io.

Io costs 4 gold and the amount of Io in a game is equal to the number of 5 gold pieces in that game.

There is only one Io that can be used to upgrade other heroes.

Ogre Magi and Lich removed from Auto Chess

Added Wolf Howl sound in round 15 to remind everyone to rearrange their pieces.

Balance:

• Ogre’s “Two Heads” reworked: Allied units’ maximum HP increased by 5%. Bonus HP from different Ogre units does not stack.
• Mage Combo: Magic Resistance reduction from -45/-35 to -35/-45
• Knight Combo: Divine Protection chance changed from 40%/40% to 40%/30%

ALchemist will now be Goblin/Ogre/Warlock
