Crypto Companions is more than just collectibles, these non-fungible tokens (NFTs) can also be used in an upcoming play-to-earn blockchain game.
Companions are unique, tokenized creatures that live on the Avalanche C-Chain. Companions can be stacked to summon battle totems and fight totems to earn yield. Battles are provably fair, as they are secured by the Chainlink VRF.
In addition to attack, defense, and health, the two key traits of totems are their stability and power. The power of a totem is derived from the strengths of its constituent companions, but the stability of a totem reflects the compatibility and complementarity of its constituents, as well as the order in which they are stacked.
In a totem fight, the goal is to drain your opponent's totem health to zero, or make it topple by attempting a knockout blow. The game is turn based. Each turn, you can choose a move to play. Your totem has four attack moves, 3 of which are inherited from its three Companions. The 4th move is a default KO attack, which aims to to topple the opponent and win the match. A totem fight is best of three matches.
There are 3 types of attack moves:
REGULAR - decrease opponent's HEALTH
BUFF - increase your ATK, DEF, HEALTH, or STABILITY
DEBUFF - decrease opponent's ATK, DEF, or STABILITY
An effective, well-constructed totem might have BUFF, DEBUFF, as well as REGULAR attack moves. Though a Companion's move type remains fixed, the effectiveness of the move depends on its ATK, HP, and DEF, which in turn can increase as the Companion levels up through battles. The KO attack is hit-or-miss. The lower your opponent's health is, the more likely your KO attack is to land. The power of your KO move is correlated with your totems ATK, which is the sum total of its companions' ATK points.
There is a total of 10,000 companions. In the initial NFT offering, 9000 Companions will be put up for sale. The Companions will be fully randomized before claiming begins. 1000 will be reserved for airdrops, giveaways, team ownership, and commissioners.
