Lord of Mysteries Auto Chess Match Walkthrough (2026)

This recording starts after the queue: the first usable frame is already on the board — the round watermark reads 0/1 at one second in and 1/1 by five — so the lobby, the rank badge shown at queue time and any pre-match team screen are uncaptured here, and this step is deliberately text-only. What the mode's matchmaking window, solo and party rules and rank protection actually are is settled on the Fool's Chess rules page, which cites the launch announcements — read that first, then come back for the screens.

By 1-2 the eight roster rows on the right all carry the same 等级提升 Level 2 flag, which is what a shared economy looks like from the inside — nobody is ahead on level yet. The player has bought a piece, 巨斧骑士, and it is waiting on the bench strip along the bottom rather than standing on the board. The 购买经验 button prints its own price, 4 gold, and the corner badge reads level 2 with 0/2 experience toward the next one.

A banner appears across the board — 请从以下天赋中选择一个用于强化棋子, 'choose one of the following talents to empower a piece' — over three purple cards: 惊喜礼包 (randomly gain pieces worth 12 gold, including at least one 3-cost piece), 勤学笔记 (gain 8 experience now and 1 extra each round afterwards) and 战备工坊 (gain one sealed equipment chest). Each card has its own 刷新 button, and a 选择天赋 button sits bottom right. This is the frame that shows talents are drafted as a three-way choice with per-card rerolls.

战斗加时 (combat overtime), and the upper-left list now holds seven resonances, each with an active count and its tier thresholds: 塔罗会 3 (2/3/4), 远击 3 (2/4/6), 神弃之地 2 (2/4/6), 坚壁 1 (1/2), 疾猎 1 (1/2), 噬血 1 (1/2) and 五月庄园 1 (1/3). The threshold numbers are on screen; what each tier actually grants is not — the panel does not spell the effects out here. On the right, two players take round damage in the same second (-3 and -6) while three win outright, which is how the health race becomes visible.

The same three-card layout, now in blue, with complete effect text: 命运引荐 (gain one random 2-cost piece, then another copy of it every time you level up), 败局笔记 (gain 2 experience when a duel round is lost, plus 1 more while on a losing streak) and 孤行之护 (at combat start, a piece with no adjacent ally gains a shield worth 20% of its maximum health for 10 seconds). Two of the three are economy talents and one is a positioning talent — the draft mixes those categories rather than offering one of each.

Opening the shop — 商会 — shows five pieces side by side, each with its resonance tags and its cost in gold: 子爵夫人 at 2, a 4-cost card labelled "结头", 魅欲女妖 at 2, 巨剑骑士 at 3 and "剥面人"强尼 at 2, the same Faceless Johnny this site has a dungeon guide for. Underneath them the client prints the shop's own rarity distribution — 19% / 30% / 40% / 10% / 1%, one colour per cost tier — with a 下级概率 (next-tier odds) magnifier beside it. 锁定 (L) freezes the shop across a refresh; 刷新 costs 2 gold on the D key. This is the level 7 row, so treat the numbers as that level's, not a universal curve.

A timed panel drops over the board — 装备选择, 31 seconds — with the instruction 拖动装备自选箱至售卖区，开启后可从候选装备中选择1件: drag the equipment choice box to the sell area, then pick one item from the candidates. Five extraordinary objects are offered, each with two stat lines and a one-line effect: 荣耀之证 (+10% attack, +10 defence, stacks on kills), 飓风之斧, 秘术扉页, 暴君面具 (+25 defence, +200 health) and 破空长枪 (+50% attack range). Under each card is a short row of piece portraits marked with a thumbs-up badge; the UI never labels that row, so its meaning is unknown.

Refreshing the shop returns a different row in which the 1-cost 弓箭骑士 is stamped 已售出 (sold out), and the top offer carries a 可升级 badge with two stars on it. A card can run out while the shop is still open, and the client tells you when buying one more copy would upgrade the piece you already hold. Together those two labels are the clearest in-game evidence in this recording that pieces come from a finite shared pool rather than an infinite one.

The board watermark now reads 7/7 and the level badge in the corner reads 7. In both this frame and the round 1/1 opening frame the watermark's second number equals the level badge, so the pair is most likely deployed pieces over deployment cap — but the UI never spells the watermark out, so that stays an inference. The 一键装备 (one-click equip) button has appeared bottom left, which is the shortcut that hands pending equipment to pieces without dragging.

Combat resolves in the middle of the board with floating numbers — crit hits marked 暴击 for 31 and 3 — and one roster row takes 16 damage in the same second, falling to 6 health. A 13连胜 badge sits above the roster, and the bench is completely full at eight slots, which is what a hoarded late-game economy looks like. Nothing in this frame says which fight the player was paired into; that is a separate tag, shown further down at round 5-6.

Inspecting the 5-cost piece 特莉丝 opens a panel with her cost, her size (1 格, one tile), her role (近战刺客, melee assassin), three resonances, 1384 health, 0/80 energy and a stat grid — 71 attack, 46 defence, 35% attack speed, 165% crit chance, 0%, 80, 6, 0.60 — plus her skill 绝望黑焰. Below that are exactly three equipment slots, one filled by 荣耀之证, whose own tooltip gives +10% attack, +10 defence and its special effect in full. The last line is the one worth reading: 棋库剩余本棋棋子数 9/10, copies of this piece still left in the pool.

A separate full-screen view replaces the board with a ring of eight star-marked platforms around a central disc, with named pieces standing on them and a 回到棋盘 (return to board) button bottom right. What this view is for is not stated anywhere on screen: it could be a pairing overview, a spectating hub or a settlement review. The recording shows the layout and the piece names, and that is as far as an honest read goes, so no function is claimed for it here.

During the 对战环节 (battle phase) the roster on the right puts a 本局对手 badge with a number beside one player's row, who is at 6 health — the only explicit pairing indicator captured in this recording. The nine resonances on the left now top out at 塔罗会 6 (5/6/7), and the player's own health has dropped to 78. This answers 'who am I fighting this round' on screen; it does not show how the opponent was chosen.

The match ends on a result screen: 第1名 (first place), rank 男爵四阶, 600 胜点 victory points after a gain of 300. Under 我的战绩 it lists the 上阵棋子 pieces that were fielded with their star levels, the 激活共鸣 resonances that were active with their counts (6, 2, 2) and the 获得天赋 talents that were taken. 再来一盘 and 退出 sit bottom right with a 详细数据 button bottom left. That is the whole loop in one frame — pieces, resonances and talents are the three things the game scores you on.
