Magic Chess: Go Go turns the board into a concert with a 7-Gold Alpha

Chrono Echoes launched August 13 with four new Synergies. Its Commander schedule is separate from the Stellar Resonance event, which has ended.

Magic Chess: Go Go launched Season 7, Chrono Echoes, on August 13, 2026. The board becomes a concert with a crowd, lightsticks and a theme song, while the new Synergies offer different ways to assemble a team. Alpha is the headline addition as the game’s first 7-Gold hero.

This October 13 review retains the season announcement and updates its schedule. Stellar Resonance ended in September, so its rewards should not be confused with content that can still be claimed.

01

Alpha crowns a tower of four new Synergies

The star is SPECTRE, the Synergy you climb by combining its 2-star heroes (Phoveus, Granger, Saber, Paquito, Gord and Alice) until you unlock Alpha, a 7-Gold finisher introduced this season. It's joined by Echomancer, which plays the nostalgia card with a twist: it summons a 5-cost hero from past seasons, like X.Borg, Moskov or Gatotkaca, to fight at your side while energy builds up beside the board.

The other two are about atmosphere and economy. Starbelle hands out a Lightstick that turns one hero into the band's fan, with shared bonuses and the board morphing into a concert once the full Synergy activates. Mistbender has you earning Spirit Sand with every skill cast to spend in its own shop. And for the veterans, Dragon Altar and Shadeweaver return, the favourites from Seasons 1 and 2. Gao 'Skyhook' Chong, the game's producer, sums it up: 'we want players to feel at home when they return, but still have plenty to discover'.

The Commander schedule and the event that ended

MOONTON’s announcement scheduled Franco for August 21, Lylia and Brody for September, and Lukas for October. The August and September dates have passed. It gives no October day for Lukas, so that announcement alone cannot establish that he is available.

Franco’s hook obtains Loot from an enemy and can yield a 5-Gold hero when upgraded. His Stellar Resonance event ran August 21–September 20. That window has ended, with no new run confirmed in this review.

The Starbeat Stage and an unforgettable theme song

The bow on the package is the 'Starbeat Stage' Magical Chessboard, with spotlights, stands and unlockable board companions, plus the main theme 'Stellar Voice', which MOONTON has published with full fanfare. Here it is:

Magic Chess: Go Go comes from the team behind Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, but its battles and Synergies belong to a different game. Linked MLBB hero pages identify the characters rather than replacing their autochess rules. Our mobile multiplayer selection offers other ways to play with friends.

Coming from the MOBA does not mean you should transfer jungle, lane and roam duties to the board. Here you assemble units and Synergies rather than controlling one hero throughout a match.
