Guide to “Axies” – the heart of the Axie Infinity: Origins

For old players, the term “Axies” is not a strange word anymore. But for Axie Infinity: Origin beginners, here’s a complete guide to these little but dangerous creatures.

Basically, the battle between axies is the game’s centerpiece. Players must use these axies to fight other players and gain rewards. There are nine classes of axies: beast, plant, aqua, reptile, bug, mech, dusk, bird, and dawn. The axies’ body parts determine their class.

To make your axies stronger, you need to use “charms” and “runes” to boost their stats. In the future, the game will also allow you to upgrade their body parts to gain more advantage in the battle.

At the beginning of the game, you will get three starter axies that you cannot trade nor breed. There are also fewer upgrading options available to them. On the other hand, personal axies are the official NFT of the game. You can purchase them in the game’s marketplace. Unlike starter axies, personal axies have more upgrade options can are tradable.

If you already have NFT axies in other Axie Infinity game. You can also use them in Axie Infinity: Origin. Meanwhile, you can get more non-NFT axies by playing “Adventure Mode”. As of this writing, there are a total of free five axies that you can use in the game.
