Beast Axie Card Attributes
There are 4 stats in the game, Health, Morale, Skill, and Speed.
Health: The amount of damage your Axie can take before being defeated.
Morale: Morale increases critical strike chance. It also makes entering the last stand more likely and adds more last stand “ticks”.
Skill: Skill adds damage when an Axie plays multiple cards at once (combo). The extra damage is calculated like this:
Card attack * ( skill * 0.55-12.25 ) / 100 * 985
Speed: Speed determines turn order. Faster Axies attack first. Speed also decreases an Axie’s chance of being the victim of a critical strike. If two Axies have the same speed, this is how to attack order is determined: High speed > Low HP > High Skill > High Morale > Low Fighter ID.
An Axie’s stats are dependent on two variables: its class and its body parts. For instance, the base stats of an Aquatic Axie (body) are 39 HP, 39 Speed, 35 Skill, and 27 Morale. Each card will add stats based on the type:
Aquatic: +3 Speed, +1 HP
Beast: +3 Morale, +1 Speed
Bird: +3 Speed, +1 Morale
Bug: +3 Morale, +1 HP
Plant: +3 HP, +1 Morale
Reptile: +3 HP, +1 Speed
An Axie is a ‘pure breed’ when its class and all of its body parts are of the same type. The ‘pureness’ of the Axie can be set as a filter on the Axie Marketplace, ranging from 1 to 6 body parts that are the same type as the selected class.
