How do you counter a full demon/demon hunter team ?
I haven't played auto chess before so I don't really know the strats that much but the one tactic I have faced so far that feels unfair was a double demon hunter setup with as much demons as possible, even if they are repeat.
It gives them so much true damage they nuke you in an instant and the demons units by default are all really good to begin with, on top of that there's a bit of everything so even if you just rush demons you can still have room to adapt your strategy.

How do you counter such a strat ? For every other type of strat I can generally see a good way to counter it or at least defend yourself against (maybe some full mage setup I can't quite get through it and the hunters feel overtuned but sounds like they are getting tweaked soon so ...).

All I want is to learn from my mistakes, and I can get behind the game being terribly unbalanced considering how early its stage of development is.

Also rng can really really really troll you it's insane, when it takes you more than 10 rounds to 2 star any unit despite the fact that you're the only one of the 8 playing those units it really feels bad.

Main counter is probably just that most people will probably be buying demons. So you buy demons and the demon stacker has a bad day. If people neglect demons then they are feeding the demon stacker.
just get a full evasion team and dont care about their damage XD

Yeah I figured demons being the only unit with solo "synergy" it makes it harder to stack. But I've tried in a game and I had a pretty disgustingly overpowered Terror Blade doing about 10k damage per fight (he basically was killing everybody while the rest of the team was meat shields).

I guess evasion is not a bad idea though since they tend to hit hard per attack, also what's her name with the damage mitigation shield (the assassin one not Abaddon) is pretty strong to counter a rampaging Terror Blade I found.

Demons are pretty weak even with the global pikcup from the shop, you can have a board of 2* demons and still get wiped by Mages/Assassin or Hunters.

Well I was dominating a game all the way until one random dude annilihate everybody for no particular reason with a Shadow Fiend boosted. Only 2 stars, defensive item on it and the thing was constantly doing three times more damage than anyone on both sides of the fight. And it's not just the ability, his auto attack were destroying me despite not even having any damage item or a Drow Ranger nearby.

I really hope the game gets balanced overtime because right now some specific units are way overtuned (Drow Ranger, Shadow Fiend and Razor in particular are just stupidly strong).
