Drodo’s starts Auto Chess Season 3 with Ranked Duo Mode, a new item drop system and Spectator Mode.
With the new item drop system all players that win the neutral round can 1 item out of 3 choices. Players failing the round will have to take the single choice they are given.
This reduces item RNG and ensures that you won’t completely miss out on items (although additional random drops are still possible).
This new system will certainly add a new layer of strategy to the game as players now have some control over their item choice.
Season 3 will run from 22 Oct 19 and end on 15 Dec 19 (Approx 3 months).
Rank Settlement
Same as with last season, ranks have been re-adjusted for Season 3.
New Rank Reward
Climb the ranks to Rook (and reach Top 3 ten times) this season to unlock the Jade Drake player piece.
New Chess Pass Rewards
This Season players with the Senior Pass can earn the Miaow Knight and The Wrestler player pieces.
