It may be slow and steady, but Auto Chess is gradually getting closer to a full-fledged product. Or at least what a customer could expect from one. The Dota 2 mod's latest patch has added a new way to help players navigate their game plan: a synergy tracker.

Displayed above the 'courier menu', the syngergy tracker shows you exactly how many chess pieces of each tribe and of each class you posses. This is especially useful for new and mediocre players, for whom it can be extremely difficult to keep track of all their units' synergies while also adjusting positioning, buying new heroes and scouting opponents.

The patch also introduced a brand new weapon: the Battle Fury. Forged by combining a Perseverance and Demon Edge, the Battle Fury is difficult to obtain. However, once you do create it, it's quite a fearsome axe.

Increasing attack damage and providing a cleaving ability, as well as more HP regeneration, make it the ideal weapon for frontliners like Doom and Kunkka. But if you're lucky enough to have a Tidehunter, you'd best give it to him. In the blink of an eye he will cast his ult, stunning a large part of the opponent's board and swinging the battle in your favor.
