Fans of the Axie Infinity blockchain game will be able to upgrade their characters, earning Axie Experience Points in battles
Sky Mavis, the developer of the blockchain game Axie Infinity, has released an update. The game has an Axie Experience Points (AXP) system, and players have the ability to level up characters.
What's changed for Axie Infinity players
Initially, the NFT characters of the blockchain game were static. This means that everyone was given a certain set of qualities at birth, and they did not change during their lives. If the player wanted to advance in the game and increase the chances of earning something, he had to purchase or "withdraw" new axies with improved characteristics.
In the latest update, players have the opportunity to "develop" their characters as part of the gameplay. Here's how it goes:
Axies participate in battles and earn Axie Experience Points (AXP). Each victory in a ranked battle brings the character 150 AXP. You can earn a maximum of 4500 AXP per day - that's how much victories in 30 games will give.
After accumulating a sufficient amount of AXP, the axie goes up. To do this, you need to update it on the character management page in App. axie and save the earned points in the onchain. The process will be paid and mandatory. If you don't raise the axies, it won't accumulate new AXPs.
By raising the character three times and reaching level 30, the player will be able to improve three parts of the character.
Why Axie Dynamic NFTs
The developers of Axie Infinity hope that the update will revive the game and return the lost love of users. The star of one of the most high-profile P2E games went into the sunset in 2022, during a bear market. A series of unsuccessful updates, hacks, suspicions of fraud accelerated the outflow of users to other games.
The ability to level up characters, a feature that has long been present in traditional games, can increase the playability of Axie Infinity. In addition, dynamic NFTs and AXPs add new mechanics to the game.
The developers claim that Axie Infinity is turning into a game for creating games. This concept has already been partially implemented in Axie Core, and the functionality of AXP will help the project reach a new level in the Web3 and NFT segment.
What happens to the AXS token
The AXS rate has recovered after the June drawdown to $4.7, but in the long term, the token remains bearish. At the time of publication, one AXS can be bought for $6.4 - almost half the price at the beginning of the year. AXS reached an all-time high in November 2021 at $164. Since then, it has lost 96% of its value.
