Aaaaaaand we’re back again!
Yesterday, while i was destroying some teams in Arena, we got the leak of horn cards! I won’t talk about theory crafting or which card i like, because it doesn’t give anything new to the community. Well, of course we all see the pervert axie, watching a lonely axie in his/her bath (i hope they have a relation together or it would be really strange…).
But anyway, we have more important to discuss here. As usual, after a leak, we always have a secret meeting with Mister S! Well, it’s not really secret because it was on Axie Discord and no need to hide his identity as it’s written in the title.
Again, we had the pleasure to get Shade in general channel to answer community questions. I really think he’s the one who gave us the best view of Origin. Of course he can’t reveal everything but I know a LOT OF players learned many things thanks to his answer. And I know that because several influencers read The Guillotine Post to shoot their videos and talk about Origin.
So here we are! Episode 3 of Axieleaks with Shade (soon available on Netflix!).
Question : Arco prevents the opponent to trigger secrets or your axie? Quite confusing description.
Shade : When you use Arco, that attack will not trigger secrets.
——————
Question : Does bumpy gain shield stack for the whole game?
Shade : Yes.
——————
Question : Can you explain shoal star? It will kill the enemy even it hits only the shield?
Shade : Shoal star ignores shield.
——————
Question : Would you mind clearing up this seeming contradiction?
"Shade : We know they are the same and it is intentional. There are more cards that are the same as well. But a pure plant with hatsune is not the same as a 6/7 plant with gravel ant because the one with gravel ant won’t be able to use the best charms (cause it has less purity).
Pos2: there are no charms exclusive to a 7/7".
Shade: Pos2 is right, there are currently no charms that require 7/7 purity.
A 7/7 purity might be able to equip 3 really good charms. But a 6/7 will only be able to equip like 2 really good charms and 1 mid-tier charm.
——————
Question : I think I didn't understand this math very well. Isn't a charm for each body part? a 7/7 would be able to equip 3 really good charms because they require specific body parts purity?
Shade : There is an entire purity and charm system that we have not revealed yet, so its not suppose to make sense yet. When i say purity system, i just mean the way that part purity and charms work together.
——————
Question : It seems Origin is easier to play: you don't have to count opponent's energy, there's no mechanics around shield and attack bonus (Rock Paper Scissor). So it seems the skill will all be around power-ups and comp building, isn't it decreasing the amount of skills needed to thrive?
Shade : Origin is a brand new game. Origin levels the playing field in terms of counting energy and cards. I think that there will be new ways of outplaying your opponent. It's too early to tell and that part of the meta won't be unlocked or discovered until the best players get their hands on the game. The skills that make the top players good in V2, might not be completely applicable in Origin.
——————
Question : Will origin have normal and ranked game mode ?
Shade : Origin PVP will have ranked and practice mode.
——————
Question : Do we have some sort of debuff against healing?
Shade : Yes, there are ways to counter/hinder opponent's healing.
——————
Question : I think some ppl just assumed that the number next to the class symbol in a charm is the number of body of that class required, but it could be something else?
Shade : The number on the charm does not directly correspond to part purity. Its a little more elaborate than that.
——————
Question : How does cuckoo bonus damage interact with AOE abilities?
Shade : If you use a card that says "attack all enemies" and there are 3 enemies, then it will attack each one by one; so 3 attacks. Cuckoo only works on the "next attack," so only the first hit, not the second and third. Cuckoo is good but not that good haha.
Question : Can cuckoo target self?
Shade : Yes, target an ally includes the axie that used it.
——————
Question : Would there be a buffs/debuffs leak soon that details all the effects named?
Shade : We haven't decided if we want to leak it before the release yet.
——————
Question : I am wondering about the definition on battle. Would this refer to a full round which all your axies move?
Shade : Battle means the entire battle, the match, the game. Battle ends when someone wins.
——————
Question : Would koi give dmg boost +45 in triple aqua team or +30?
Shade : +45 dmg. 165 dmg for triple aqua team. Remember that all abilities are subject to balancing.
——————
Question : Regarding the bleed, was it when the one with Bleed gets attacked or he attacks?
Shade : Axie A attacks Axie B with Piranha. Axie B now has Bleed. Axie B attacks Axie A. Axie B now takes damage because it has bleed.
——————
Question : Btw Shade, would energy increase as the battle prolongs itself?
As in Round 1 : 2 energy…
Round 2 : 3 energy…
Round 3 : 4 energy...
Shade : No.
——————
Question : Would it be possible for 1 axie to equip charms from multiple classes at once?
Shade : Yes, its based on part class. Hot butt can equip a plant charm, parasite can equip a bug charm, etc...
——————
Then they talked about parasite card and Arco that could be good for countering.
Question : but a very specific counter. .probably anti "secret" decks. but thats it.
Shade : A majority of defensive abilities are secrets though. I can't predict the meta but arco might be more useful than we think.
——————
Question : Can i ask how much HP does summons have?
Shade : It depends on the summon. Not all the same.
We have lot of leaks every week, but also still have lot of secrets. But i think it’s fun to keep it like that.
We can start to see how our own axies will look like in Origin and which effect they will have on their cards. Lot of members of the community created tools to quickly search it. If you want to get those links, the best way is to join the Axie Official Discord. You will get all information there.
Now we are waiting ears and eyes cards! Pretty sure those Axieleaks with Shade are not finished yet and there will be more to share with you.
