Dota Auto Chess is a strategy video game mod for the video game Dota 2. Later in 2019, Drodo Studio developed a standalone version known simply as Auto Chess, while Valve, the developer of Dota 2, developed their own standalone version known as Dota Underlords. This elimination style game features elements derived from chess and Dota 2. Upon the initiation of every round, an enemy team appears on the player's board and the player's team appears on an enemy's board . This is why the Arcade mode of the game and its resulting offshoots are called "auto battlers". Are the first three rounds of the game and every fifth round starting at round 10. Gameplay proceeds over the course of multiple rounds. Each round occurs in three phases: income, preparation, and battle. The income rewarded at the beginning of each round is calculated based on a few different factors. On top of the base amount of gold, players receive interest based on which multiple of ten up to forty they currently have in their bank. When a player is knocked out of the game, players that have contributed to their elimination receive gold and/or items. During the preparation phase, players select from a public pool of over fifty chess pieces based on Dota 2 characters' personas and abilities and place their pieces on the spaces within the four rows on their side of the board. By leveling up, the player increases the amount of units he can put on the battlefield. Each chess piece belongs to a class and at least one particular race. Races and classes are called "synergies" and they improve the abilities of either a certain group of pieces or the entire team.
