Magic Chess Season 5 synergies are the key to dominating your lobbies and securing consistent top finishes.
Understanding the current synergy system is non-negotiable — Season 5 introduces new synergies and mechanics that change how team compositions perform.
These synergies offer significant buffs when activated, and choosing the right ones can be the difference between losing early and winning late.
All Magic Chess Season 5 synergies
Neobeasts
Create a Neochest that can be activated once. It accumulates points each round and gains extra points when allies die.
Reach 300 / 700 points to receive progress rewards respectively.
Activate the Chest to receive rewards based on your current points, and grant Neobeasts Heroes Hybrid ATK and HP based on Synergy count.
- [2] Gain 6 point(s) per round, plus 1 point(s) for each ally’s death. Each point grants 0.02% extra Hybrid ATK and HP.
- [4] Gain 25 point(s) per round, plus 2 point(s) for each ally’s death. Each point grants 0.03% extra Hybrid ATK and HP.
- [6] Gain 55 point(s) per round, plus 3 point(s) for each ally’s death. Each point grants 0.05% extra Hybrid ATK and HP.
- [10] Gain 120 point(s) per round, plus 10 point(s) for each ally’s death. Each point grants 0.25% Hybrid ATK and HP. Activating the Chest instantly grants rewards for 999 points.
Mystic Meow
All allies gain HP based on the number of activated Synergy types.
At 9 Synergies, choose between Red and Blue Mystic Claws to receive attribute bonuses.
At 11 Synergies, these bonuses are further increased.
- [2] Each activated Synergy increases HP by 1%. The Red and Blue Mystic Claws provide 8% Physical ATK and Magic ATK, respectively. When reaching 11 Synergies, Mystic Claws’ enhancement effects increase to 20%.
Heartbond
Deploy a Heartbond Hero on another Heartbond Hero’s special tile to bond them together. When one of the two is about to die, that Hero will enter dormancy.
If their bonded Hero is still alive, the dormant Hero will reawaken with 30% HP and rejoin the battle.
The dormancy lasts for 3s the first time, 5s the second, and 8s the third and subsequent times. Placing bonded Heroes to the Hero Slots removes the bond.
- [2] Heartbond Heroes gain 10% Hybrid ATK. Bonded Heroes gain an additional 15% Hybrid ATK.
- [4] Heartbond Heroes gain 20% Hybrid ATK. Bonded Heroes gain an additional 30% Hybrid ATK.
- [6] Heartbond Heroes gain 40% Hybrid ATK. Bonded Heroes gain an additional 55% Hybrid ATK.
- [10] Heartbond Heroes gain 100% Hybrid ATK and HP. Bonded Heroes gain an additional 150% Hybrid ATK and HP. Heartbond Heroes deal at least 2800 True DMG to enemies every 8s during battle.
Exorcist
Obtain the Exorcist’s Seal. Equipping the Seal on a Hero converts it into 1 Equipment suited for that Hero.
When Exorcist Heroes die, they become the carrier’s Phantom with 15% HP and cast the carrier’s skill once. Exorcist Heroes gain attribute bonuses.
- [2] The Phantom deals 30% DMG.
- [4] The Phantom deals 60% DMG. Exorcist Heroes gain 10% extra DMG and HP.
- [6] The Phantom deals 125% DMG. Exorcist Heroes gain 20% extra DMG and HP.
- [10] The Phantom deals 125% DMG. The Seal’s carrier becomes Phantom Lord, gaining 300% extra DMG and HP. When battle starts, other Exorcist Heroes become the carrier’s Phantoms instantly, inheriting 100% HP and dealing 300% extra DMG.
New modes and social features in Magic Chess Season 5
Magic Chess Season 5 expands beyond classic auto chess with GOGO MOBA, a limited-time mode that transforms the battlefield into a faster-paced Multiplayer Online Battle Arena experience.
Players choose commanders and explore a reworked map designed for mobility, highlighted by a new jump mechanic that allows movement across walls and terrain for quicker rotations and surprise plays.
Season 5 also introduces Go Go Plaza, a social hub where players can roam as their favourite commanders, interact using Battle Emotes, take photos, and explore together via a team train. Future updates will add seasonal decorations, interactive elements, and team-based mini-games to further build community engagement.
Completing the update is Golden Month Kitchen, MCGG’s first cooking mini-game launching on 17 February 2026. Players collect ingredients to complete a special menu, and finishing it rewards Zilong’s new Special skin for free.
