Today we bring you this guide so that you learn all the basics related to this entertaining game that is giving so much to talk about in the gaming community. So pay close attention and take these tips into account if you are thinking of starting in this world of NFT games to earn money.
What is an Axie and what value does it have in the market?
An Axie is a creature that we will use for our development within the game, these creatures have different attributes that make them better to play a role, some for attack, others for defense or tank, just like in MOBA games. The most marked difference in Axie Infinity is that each of these creatures is tied to a token. This token has a value defined by the cryptocurrency Ethereum, through which we can buy these Axies to enter the game.
All Axies have a different value depending on the attributes and abilities they possess, some can cost 0.01 ETH (Fraction of Ethereum) which can represent about 200 US dollars.
How many types of Axies are there in the game?
Taking into account the class of Axie that we are going to buy directly influences our style of play and the growth we can obtain within the league. Currently, there are 9 classes of Axies Of which three of them are special Axies classes that are not included in this post, because they either have their own body parts or also known as class cards. Next, we will mention the nine that exist.
- Plant
- Bird
- Beast
- Dusk
- Bug
- Mech
- Aquatic
- Reptile
- Dawn
There are also three types of secret Axies, but here we reveal what they are and we will talk about some of their attributes, since these classes are quite difficult to breedThis is because they require a specific mix of purebred Axies. What’s more, even if you get those two required Axies classes, you will only have a 33% chance of obtaining a secret class when you want to cross your Axies. The three classes we are talking about are the following:
Dawn: This class is obtained by crossing a Purebred Reptile Axie with a purebred Aquatic Axie. One of their most interesting attributes is that they have a 7.5% class bonus for all those plants that belong to the group of Reptiles and plants.
Mech: This kind of Axie is obtained by crossing a Purebred Axie Bug and a Purebred Axie Beast. This Axie also has a class bonus from the 7.5% for the Bug and Beast cards.
Dusk: This is the class that is obtained when we cross a Aquatic Axie and a Reptile, both purebred. In this case they also have a class bonus for all plant and reptile cards.
What is the mechanics of the game?
Basically Axie Infinity it’s a turn-based card game and your only objective will be to defeat your three enemy Axies, while keeping your team of three Axies alive. All this after having studied the attributes of each of your creatures very well and devising a strategy according to the abilities of your creatures to know how to take advantage of the weaknesses of your enemy team.
Adventure mode
Adventure mode or also known as PVE It consists of going around the map defeating certain bosses that are along the way. These victories will give you an amount of SLP that is the currency used in the game until you complete 50 SLP, which is the maximum that you can receive in this mode.
In this mode the amount of SLP you receive for each level will be random, however, at higher levels the reward in SLP will also be higher. Additionally, you should take into account that you can only receive rewards the first time you play a level, if you play that same level again, you will no longer be rewarded, you should always look for new levels to play.
JCJ
The PvP mode or also known as “Arena”, is the mode in which you will have to face other players through your Axies team, using a good strategy according to the skills of your team. The system will reward you with a variable amount of SLP depending on your in-game rating, the higher your rating, the more SLP points you will be awarded for victory in the arena.
What Token represents the value of each Axie in the game?
In Axie infinity the Small Love Potion or SLP token is used, This is a token of type ERC-20 (Ethereum Request for Comments), so it operates within the Ethereum network. This token in addition to being the one used to give us the rewards for our victories or daily missions within the game, it is also used to define the value of an Axie creature.
Understanding this, we will realize that each Axie will have a value that will be anchored to the price of the cryptocurrency Ethereum, so the value of an Axie can vary from one moment to another depending on the behavior of the value that it has at the moment you want to buy or sell it.
How much energy do I have per day according to the Axies I have?
Energy is extremely important in the game, since without it we will not be able to earn our rewards in SLP, at least in arena mode. The only way to get rewards without having energy is in adventure mode.
However, also we will need energy to gain experience In adventure mode, so you must take into account that your maximum energy will depend on the amount of Axies you have, so the amount will be as follows:
- If you have between 3 and 9 axies, the system will give you 20 energy and you will be able to recover 5 energy points every 6 hours.
- If you have between 10 to 19 axies, the amount of energy available will be 40 and you will regain 5 energy every 6 hours.
- When you have more than 20 axies, the system gives you 60 energy points and a recovery of 5 energy points every 6 hours.
You must take into account that each battle you do in adventure mode or in arena mode it will cost you 1 energy point, so you must be strategic to manage it as best as possible and you can get the rewards for your victories.
