Champions Tactics is excited to announce its upcoming launch, welcoming gamers to explore play-to-earn dynamics in this unique strategic auto-battler game.
Interestingly, the game currently lacks comprehensive guides regarding its mechanics, the Forging process, and the significance of various Champion stats. While there will be an introductory tutorial, players may need to learn through experience once the game goes live.
Overview of Champions Tactics
Champions Tactics is a strategy game designed in collaboration with Ubisoft, utilizing the Oasys blockchain. This game features two distinct sets of NFTs: Warlords and Champions. Here’s a breakdown:
Understanding Warlords and Champions
- Warlords: These are the foundational NFTs, serving as unique profile pictures (PFPs) while granting early access to future game content and bonus earnings. The collection comprises 9,995 Warlords, currently listed on various marketplaces, including OpenSea, with a current floor price of approximately 0.35 ETH (around $100 USD).
- Champions: Players will assemble teams of three Champions to engage in battles. These Champions are manifested as painted figurines within the game, possessing distinct traits and abilities.
Champions Tactics will support both player-versus-environment (PvE) and player-versus-player (PvP) gameplay, although PvE is not yet accessible.
Game Mechanics and Earning Potential
Players can earn Gold through gameplay, which is essential for crafting and upgrading Champions. Holding more Warlords and Champions increases potential Gold earnings. The game will also provide users with free, ‘Ethereal’ Champions, but players who wish to earn rewards must invest in their own Champions.
Quest System and Player Experience
Champions Tactics will feature a quest system along with a player experience system, although details regarding the rewards remain unclear. The game’s economy revolves around Forging new Champions and selling them to fellow players.
Technical Specifications
The game will be compatible with PC and will require players to create a Ubisoft account for access.
Characteristics of Champions
Champions are integral to the gameplay experience, showcasing a variety of traits and eight distinct stats affecting their combat abilities. Each Champion is unique, influenced by different skills and genes that impact the crafting process.
Forging New Champions
The initial mint saw the creation of 75,000 Champions. Players can forge new Champions using Gold and two existing Champions. The cost of Forging is determined by the remaining Crafting Charges, with each Champion starting with five. For example, Forging two Champion NFTs will require a starting cost of 12,000 Gold.
The Gene system within the game adds another layer of complexity, featuring dominant, recessive, and minor recessive genes that players will need to consider when foraging new Champions. As players explore this mechanic, they will navigate fluctuating Champion values based on gameplay evolution. It’s vital for the game to have a balance to avoid market inflation concerning NFTs. Implementing a Champion recycling system may help mitigate this issue.
Marketplace Features
Players can buy and sell Champions on the official marketplace, with transactions conducted using the Wrapped OAS token (WOAS). The Champions Tactics website allows users to wrap and unwrap OAS tokens as needed.
