Synergies or unit combos grant powerful status effects when you place certain units from the same class or faction on the game board. There are two types of synergies – class synergies and faction synergies. Before we delve more into this, let’s know a bit more about classes and factions.

Classes
There are six classes in Might & Magic: Chess Royale: Spirit, Warrior, Guardian, Mage, Assassin and Dragon. Units from a class share certain common traits. For example: Warriors have high DPS, whereas Guardians are tank characters. When you place units from the same class on the game board, a class synergy is activated, which grants powerful buffs or de-buffs.
Factions
If you have played Might & Magic: Heroes, then you will be familiar with factions. There are six factions: Fortress, Haven, Necropolis, Stronghold, Dungeon and Sylvans. “Heroes” had an alignment system, in which a unit or group of units from a faction determines whether they are “good-aligned”, evil or neutral. For example: Units in the Haven faction are “good-aligned”, Necropolis faction units are bad and Stronghold units are neutral. In Heroes, these factions had their own story-based campaigns.
In Chess Royale, the focus is more on synergies so a group of 3-4 units belonging to the same faction grants powerful buffs when they are placed on the chess board.
To activate class synergy, you will have to place a certain number of units that belong to the same class. Class synergies can be activated even when you place only half of the units on the chess board. Example: If you place 2 warriors on the board, then all warriors will gain 20 percent bonus damage. But if you place 4 warriors, the damage will increase to 50. But in case of faction synergies, you must have full units from the same faction on the board to activate them.
Here’s a complete list of Might & Magic: Chess Royale synergies. Make sure you fulfill class and faction synergy requirements to activate.
