About Axie Infinity Universe 

A vast array of cards make up the Axie Infinity Universe, and navigating them can initially seem daunting. The six classes -Aqua, Beast, Plant, Bird, Bug, and Reptile- are just the starting point for this expansive landscape; further divided by parts (Tail, Back, Mouth, Horn) and range and costs, it quickly becomes clear why those familiar with all 132 cards have an advantage in the Arena Mode.

 Knowing which of the cards offer offensive power versus which provide defensive protection adds an additional layer to this already complex experience. It’s interesting to explore how certain cards can be used both on their own and in combination with others. Strategically implementing combinations of cards that pack a punch while limiting damage taken is essential for achieving a high win rate.

How Do Cards Work?

You have the opportunity to play cards in each round. These cards feature the offensive and defensive moves available to your Axie, depending on its type. You start with 6 cards and receive three more at the end of each round.

Cards are a key part of the Axie Infinity experience. Here is an overview of what they are and how they work.

Name- Each card has a unique name that describes its effect or condition.

Energy Cost- Every move requires a certain amount of energy to activate, which can be increased or decreased depending on the class of your Axie and the opponent’s class.

Damage – Damage dealt by the card depends on both your Axie’s class and the enemy’s class, with a 10% bonus if your Axie has the same element as the card and a 15% bonus if the enemy is weak to it — both bonuses can stack.

Shielding- Cards also provide shielding to your Axie, giving it protection from damage.

Card Effects: The effects of cards vary greatly, but players must use energy in every case to activate them. These effects may range from buffing stats to curing status conditions.

Color-Coding – You’ll notice that each card corresponds with one of the body colors of an Axie — Aqua cards are blue, Plant cards are green, etc. This helps players quickly identify what their options are during battles.
