What You Need to Know Before Getting Axies

Before you assemble your squad, there are a few basics that you need to know. You have to buy the Axies thoughtfully as you will be using them for Adventure as well as the Arena mode.

You will find nine classes of Axies: Aquatic, Beast, Bird, Bug, Dawn, Dusk, Plant, and Reptile.

In addition to this, all the Axies have six traits that add to the four stats. The stats are:

  • Health Points (or HP) boosts HP
  • Speed determines how fast your Axie will move and attack
  • Skill affects how much damage will your Axie cause. More skill = More damage. It also shields your Axies while they’re chained or deployed in a combo.
  • Morale boosts the likelihood of landing a critical hit on the enemies. The critical damage done also increases. It also determines the bars during Land Stand.

Apart from this, each Axie has six different body parts which are: Back, Ears, Eyes, Forehead, Mouth, and Tail. However, only four of them (that is, back, mouth, forehead, and tail) will affect your search for the right cards.

You will be composing the cards in combos. You can also use them individually against your opponents.

How to Buy Axies

To start playing Axie Infinity, you will have to buy three Axies. Here’s how to buy Axies and set up your team:

  • During the last steps of setting up your Ronin Wallet, you’ll be prompted to go to the Axie infinity marketplace and assemble your Axies.
  • Go to the marketplace (which is actually an auction site). You will see all the available Axies up for auction here.
  • Pick three Axies of your choice and pay.
  • You are all ready to start off your adventures in Axie Infinity! For a detailed overview of Axie Infinity gameplay, you can visit the guide.
