Hello, friends of the gaming hive! 👋
So, yesterday I was playing Magic Chess and experimenting with Commander Lunox. This time, I wanted to try a slightly different strategy than usual 😁 : combining Starwing and Bruiser. Why did I choose these two? Because I think they complement each other very well, one focusing on damage and the other making defenses more solid.
🌙 Why Did I Choose Lunox?
Honestly, I was initially attracted to Lunox because of her unique Blessing skill. Basically, she can activate synergies faster even if you don't have all the heroes yet. Pretty good for the early game, right? Furthermore, in the mid to late game, the effect is even more pronounced, especially if you play with two synergies at once, like I do.
⚔️ Two Synergies I Use
I focus on two main synergies :
Starwing – to boost damage and attack speed
Bruiser – to increase HP and survivability on the front line
In my experience, this combination is quite balanced. Starwing is the mainstay for attacking, while Bruiser defends from the front. And because Lunox has a Blessing effect, these two synergies can activate faster than usual.
🌠 Starwing Heroes I Use
For Starwing, I choose :
1.Belerick
2.Atlas
3.Saber
4.Nana
5.Harley
All five work together quite well. Atlas serves as the front line, while Saber, Nana, and Harley attack from behind with their devastating skills. This formation keeps the team's damage output stable from start to finish.
🛡️ The Hero Bruiser I Rely On
For Bruiser, my line-up :
1.Belerick
2.Kalea
3.Yu Zhong
4.Aldous
5.Gloo
This Bruiser is good because it's not only tough... but it can also attack back. The synergy effect increases HP and physical power, so they can withstand massive damage while still putting pressure on the opponent. Blessing from Lunox also really helps so that this synergy activates early.
💥 Other Support Heroes
Besides the main heroes, I'd like to add :
Natalia – She can attack from multiple directions and her stealth is great for taking out enemy heroes behind them.
Angela – My favorite support. Her Heartguard skill is really helpful for providing extra shields and defense during the heat of the fight.
Belerick : A Hero with Two Roles at Once
Now this is what's interesting. Belerick has two active synergies, Starwing and Bruiser. So he's like a bridge between the two formations I use.
What makes Belerick special is that, due to the effects of these two synergies , he has super-fast HP regeneration and quite high damage. That's why I deliberately didn't put him in the front row. I let Atlas, Gloo and Aldous guard the front line, while I positioned Belerick slightly further back.
Why? Because this position allows Belerick to focus more on attacking while also regenerating HP quickly thanks to the dual effects of Starwing and Bruiser. So, he's not just a regular tank... but also a damage dealer who's hard to kill. This strategy makes Belerick one of the most influential heroes on my team.
⚙️ The Build I Use This is the build I use for several key heroes :
🪴 Belerick Build : Guardian Helmet, Antique Cuirass, Brute Force Breastplate The goal is to keep him resilient, have high HP regeneration and balance physical and magical defense. Even though he's not in the front, he still needs to be strong for long-term sustain.
🧸 Nana Build : Enchanted Talisman, Holy Crystal, Winter Crown Focus on mana regeneration, burst damage, and self-protection.
🫧 Gloo Build : Claude's Theft Device This item helps Gloo become more resilient and provides a small steal effect on enemies. It's suitable for front tanks.
🗡️ Natalia Build : Sea Halberd, Haas' Claws, Aegis This combo allows her to penetrate the back, reduce enemy regen, and stay alive thanks to lifesteal.
🎩 Harley Build : Enchanted Talisman This allows her to spam skills more often and continuously apply magical pressure.
With a build like this, all heroes have clear roles :
Atlas, Gloo, and Aldous guard the front line
Belerick attacks while regenerating quickly from the middle
Nana and Harley serve as the primary sources of damage
Natalia provides quick execution
Angela helps the team survive The result? The team has a great balance between offense and defense , strong from the beginning to the end of the game.
🎯 Conclusion
So that's my experience playing Lunox with the Starwing and Bruiser combo. From the start, I wanted to try a strategy that wasn't just strong in one aspect... but balanced overall. And it turned out to be successful this formation held up well from early to late game, especially once Lunox's Blessing effect was active.
What really interested me was Belerick's role, which could incorporate both synergies at once. Because of this dual effect , his HP regeneration was very fast and his damage was also quite good. That's why I deliberately didn't put him in the front so he could focus more on attacking while constantly regenerating. I relied on Atlas, Gloo, and Aldous to guard the front line.
With the support of Angela and Natalia, the team became more flexible and difficult to defeat.
💬 What do you think?
Do you often use the Starwing + Bruiser combination? Or perhaps you have your own, more effective formation? Feel free to share it in the comments section; maybe I can try it in my next match! 👇
Thanks for reading, and see you in the next strategy! 💫
