Starter Axie Upgrades Have Arrived

More HP, fresh runes and charms, and a new 'promotion' feature for Starter Axies

Starter Axie Promotions and Enhancements

Starting today, players can promote and enhance their starter axies to acquire new skills and art! This offers a glimpse into how future progression systems around your NFT axies might look like and will give us invaluable feedback around this type of system. *

Players can promote their starter axies to unlock card enhancements using Class Badges and Honor Medals earned from Daily and Weekly Missions or won from the Mystery Box. These axies now start with 350 HP instead of 320. In the example above, enhancing Tripp’s Nut Cracker card would give him new abilities and an HP boost. Plus, starter axies will now come with a set of starter Runes and Charms. These new features are part of our plan to upgrade the new user experience for better onboarding into the Axie universe.

*We understand that many of you have questions around Starter axie promotion and its relation to Axie Core and NFT axie progression. For now, what we can say is that by implementing this feature and observing the benefits and challenges that arise, we’ll be better equipped to understand how NFT axie progression may effect and strengthen experiences such as Origins, Homeland, and the infinite universe of games being built on top of the Axie IP.
