Here’s come another crypto gaming platform called CryptoBlades. This gaming platform becomes the talk of the town in previous day and until its still shaken up on the entire social media platform. It becomes trending day by day. But don’t you wonder what is CryptoBlades and how this platform works?
CryptoBlades is a revolutionary a web based NFT roleplaying game launched on the Binance Smart Chain and brought to existence by the talented group of Riveted Games. The core of the game revolves around rewarding players with $SKILL tokens after defeating enemies and participating in raids. They can hire additional characters, forge unique weapons, and reforge those weapons to increase their overall power. Players can also trade their characters and weapons on an open marketplace. They can also stake their SKILL earnings and receive additional SKILL as a reward.
The player will need to have a nominal amount of BNB cryptocurrency to pay for transactional gas fees. They will need to have a wallet (i.e. Metamask) which can store the BNB cryptocurrency and which can also store the SKILL token. The player will need to setup their Metamask wallet to the Binance Smart Chain network1. They will need to secure, at a minimum, 4.6 SKILL token to start the game. The SKILL token can be swapped on ApeSwap, pairing with BNB2
THERE ARE FOUR ELEMENTS IN THE GAME
- FIRE
- EARTH
- LITHGNING
- WATER
All characters, weapons, weapon attributes, and enemies are assigned an element. Elements increase or decrease the chances of success when battling. Each element trumps and is trumped by another element, as follows:
💝Fire
♦Trumps Earth
♦Trumped by Water
💖Earth
♦ Trumps Lightning
♦ Trumped by Fire
💞Lightning
♦Trumps Water
♦Trumped by Earth
💓Water
♦ Trumps Fire
♦Trumped by Lightning
The player starts in the Plaza, which is where they can mint their first character (4.6 SKILL). The element of the character is assigned at random. The first character minted comes with a starting weapon, so there is not a need to mint a weapon before entering combat. Each minted character starts with 200 stamina which is enough to compete in five battles. The battles each cost the character 40 stamina. Stamina regenerates at a rate of one per every five minutes. A player can have up to four characters at any given time. Each character minted currently cost 4.6 SKILL to mint.
The player chooses the character they want to enter combat with on the Plaza screen. They then can enter the combat section of the game and four enemies appear at the bottom of the screen after a weapon is selected. It is advantageous for the player to align the element of their character with their weapon and choose an enemy that is trumped by this element. The player should also consider the power of the enemies before deciding which one to fight. The player will spend a nominal BNB gas fee to enter combat against a chosen enemy. The game then rolls for the outcome of combat and writes the results to the blockchain. The player is awarded in SKILL and character experience if the outcome of the fight is in their favor. There is nothing awarded to the player if the outcome is a loss.
WEAPONS
There are five tiers of weapons obtainable in CryptoBlades. The tiers are rated from one star up to five stars. The player receives a one-star weapon which is minted when their first character is minted. Weapons, like characters, will be minted with one of the four elements (fire, earth, lightning, fire).
FORGING
Players can increase their overall combat power by forging new weapons at the Blacksmith. The forging process utilizes RNG and the chances of minting each tier of weapons are as follows:
- One-star, 44% chance
- Two-star, 35% chance
- Three-star, 15% chance
- Four-star, 5% chance
- Five-star, 1% chance
REFORGING
Reforging is the process of combining one weapon into another. Reforging will not increase the tier of the weapon, nor will it change the weapon’s attributes or attributes’ stats. Reforging lets the player upgrade their better weapons by burning less-valuable weapons. Reforging, like forging, takes place at the Blacksmith. The player chooses the weapon they want to add power to and then clicks the Reforge button.
COMBAT
Combat is where the action takes place! The player first selects the character they want to enter in combat within the Plaza. They then select to enter Combat where they will choose their weapon. Once the weapon has been chosen, four enemy combatants will appear. The player can then select the combatant that they want their character to face off against.
There are several things that the player should consider before choosing their opponent:
- The attribute type of the character entering combat,
- The attribute type of the weapon selected,
- The attribute type of the opponent
- The power of the opponent.
These four things have a chance to impact the outcome of each fight. When the player chooses an enemy to attack, they get a +7.5% modifier if the character and weapon primary attributes match. They receive a 7.5% modifier when attacking an enemy has the element that is weak against their player’s character. These modifiers stack which always the player to add a +15% boost to their character if the right equipment and enemy are chosen.
REWARDS
The player receives two types of rewards when they successfully defeat an opponent, SKILL and character experience. The SKILL reward is dependent on the power of the enemy defeated. At the time of the writing of this whitepaper, the formula is 0.111627 (awarded as a gas offset) + .014651 per 1000 power of the enemy defeated. Experience earned is assigned to the character that won the battle. The SKILL and experience earned are stored until the player initiates a transaction to move the SKILL to their wallet and to apply the experience to their characters. This feature has been added to reduce the amount of gas the player requires to play the game.
MARKET
CryptoBlades is first and foremost a blockchain game – which means that the players own their minted NFTs (characters and weapons). The right to sell and trade is wholly owned by the player. CryptoBlades implemented a market to make this process trustless. The player can search characters and weapons that have been listed by other players, as well as list their own characters and weapons. There is a small buyer fee added to each transaction.
TOKENOMICS
SKILL serves as the native game currency for CryptoBlades. Players leverage SKILL to acquire characters, forge and reforge weapons, and to buy and sell on the CryptoBlades Marketplace.
The supply of SKILL is designated as follows:
• IDO – 35%
• Gameplay Incentives – 20%
• Development – 20%
• Initial Liquidity – 15%
• Liquidity Incentives – 10%
The SKILL for SKILL staking pool rewards SKILL in return for staking any SKILL from the player’s wallet or from any unclaimed in the rewards pool. SKILL that gets staked in this pool gets locked for seven days, though additional deposits after the initial deposit does not “refresh” the seven day lock period.
