Axies can battle each other in special 3 vs. 3 Arena battles.

Before battle, players can choose their team of 3 Axies, their Axies’ positioning on the 3 x 3 Arena, as well as the order of the battle moves.

The moves that Axie can bring into battle are determined by their Body parts. Mouths, Horns, Backs, and Tails all come with an associated battle move while Eyes and Ears may confer passive boosts.

You can select the order of your moves to fit your strategy

In battle, Axies will attack each other in turns, with Axies that possess the highest “Speed” stat attacking first. Players will want to try and predict the flow of battle based on their Axie’s strengths and weaknesses and order their battle moves accordingly. Victory will come easily for those who can master the right combination of strategy and luck! Because of mechanisms like “Critical Hit” and “Last Stand”, victory will never be assured until the final blow is struck!

When an Axie battle move is “used” either by using it to attack or defend an opposing Axie’s attack, the move will move towards the back of that Axie’s move “queue”. In addition, Axies will attack the closest enemy Axie, unless their move has a mechanism that effects targeting (such as the “Backdoor” mechanism possessed by “Toothless Bite”.

Axie have four stats specific to the Axie and three stats specific to an individual part. The four base stats are HP, Speed, Skill, and Morale. Base stats are determined by an Axie’s body parts. We can get an understanding of how this works by looking at Ginger’s body parts:

There are also 3 stats specific to a move: Attack, Defense, and Accuracy. These interact with the body stats in battle to create battle’s RNG (random) elements.
