Axie Infinity Beginner’s Guide

Axie Infinity is one of the NFT games that are currently popular here in the Philippines. Gamers who like to play and grind at the same time are perfect for a game like this. In the game, players need to earn a cryptocurrency called Small Love Potion (SLP) that can be converted through crypto-exchanges to fiat real-world paper money.

Aside from being the developer and publisher of Axie Infinity, Sky Mavis also owns the Axie Infinity game launcher hub, the Ronin wallet (Crypto & NFT), and the Axie marketplace. If you are interested in playing, here’s a beginner’s guide just for you.

In Axie Infinity, players will be breeding, growing, and battling creatures known as Axies. You’ll be needing NFTs to purchase Axies and virtual real estate (Lands) in the in-game marketplace. Majority of the transactions that are happening in the game takes place in the Ronin wallet for lower fees.

• Morale: Morale raises the likelihood of a critical strike. It also increases the likelihood of entering the last stand and adds extra last stand ticks.
• Speed: Turn order is determined by speed. Axies with greater speed attack first. Speed also reduces an Axie’s chances of getting hit by a critical attack.
• Skill: When an Axie plays numerous cards at once, Skill increases the damage (combo).
• Health: The maximum amount of damage your Axie can withstand before being knocked out.
