Axie Infinity

Axie Infinity is part of a revolutionary setup of games: A gamefi, also known as a “play-to-earn” technology based on the blockchain, in the free will of the players and in the sense of property(NFTs). With more than 9 million players around the world, Axie is the most famous nft game, and one of the more lasting - founded in 2018.

The gameplay is structured in PVP battles - turn game like pokemon against another players- and PVE adventure - battle against the computer - which gives to the players rewards in Experience (PVE) and SLP (PVP). Also, you can breed axies (each axie has a limit of breeds it can take), combining their genetics and burning SLP in the process. Furthermore, Axie Infinity has the land feature: a peace of land (NFT) where you can interact with resources and others axies.

The fact of persisting for so much time (4 years is a long life-time for a NFT game) show how your economy and tokenomics was based on a long-term vision, besides the game does not return as much as some “hyped” games nowadays, is well known that Axie is one of the giants (with a 3 billion evaluation) in the nft industry and wont fall soon.

Although Axie Infinity is a relative simple card game, your tokenomics and tecnology must be studied along with their major plan of becoming a universal income game. There are two tokens in the axie universe: AXS and SLP. The AXS is the governance token, which, in the future, you could use to vote in the fully decentralized universe of axie, holders can stake the token and, moreover, can participate in the Community Treasure, where you earn revenues generated by Axie Infinity. The SLP is the in-game token, used to breed new axies and as a reward in the battlefield. One interesting fact in the game is that the DEV team holds no more than 20% of the AXS tokens, giving to the community a major role in the decision process of this huge universe.

In a mathematical point of view, for an nft game to be sustainable and to endure over the long term, there must be more players putting in money than taking out. The longer Axie resists and the more features are added to the universe (like the lands), the greater the chances of the game establishing itself globally and surpassing the "hype" status that many new nft games acquire, where players will start playing for fun and not just to make money.

In this moment, Axie Infinity no longer use the Ethereum blockchain, but the Ronin, a Axie Infinity sidechain with the main goal of lowering the fees and giving more autonomy to the community.

The next main update for Axie Infinity is going to be “Origin”: the game version 3. Mechanics like no more random critics, runes and charms, axie free-to-play and a new marketing plan are arriving. The User Acquisition (Operations, Data science, creativity) methodology will be added to SkyMavis' business/marketing plan, in which new users will be prospected, breaking the barrier between nfts games and traditional mobile games.

In Axie, the most balanced teams are: Plant, Beast, Bird / Plant, Beast, Aqua / Plant, Aqua, Aqua

Rigth now, the meta asks for a Backdoor team, follow a backdoor poison build:

Backdoor Poison build favors damage over time and HP as its strongest attribute.

Types as Plant, Reptile, and Dusk are the best for a backdoor, also, you will need the “yam” and “pumpkin” parts in your axies. Along with that, Disguise + Vegetal Bite is a great card combo for stealing energy.
