To participate in the game, you need to create a Hero representing you on board. In the early phase of the game, three races will be available: Human, Orc, and Dark Elf. Each race has a unique passive skill related to a particular card type. You can create as many Heroes as you want, but the maximum level of each Hero is 50. You should upgrade your Heroes because, with higher levels, they have more HP on the Battlefield.
Each Hero that advances to Level 2 can be minted as an NFT and become fully transferable. To upgrade the level of a Hero, you should use them in battle to gain enough experience.
Your Hero will get more XP if you win the battle. Moreover, if you win the battle with plenty of HP, your XP will be multiplied.
Hero of each race can choose one of the classes. Classes give special passive skills unrelated to units.
Cards are the essential elements of the Legends of Elysium game. They are divided into 3 types: units, spells, and items. Units can be deployed on the game board, spells can be cast during battles, and Heroes can equip items. To play the cards, players must meet the requirements of the particular card, such as MANA cost or LAND type and cost. According to their occurrence, cards can be common, rare, epic, and legendary.
You always have the choice of whether to mint the card or not. If a card does not fit your playstyle, you can omit it and avoid minting. But if you have already minted the card, you can:
In general, cards can be received by opening Standard, Enchanted or Divine packs, completing Quests, playing in the Adventure mode and in several other ways.
Card packs are items with random cards. Players can open packs to acquire new cards. There are 3 types of packs available in the game: Standard, Enchanted, and Divine.
Standard packs can be acquired by winning in the Adventure and Battlefield modes, completing quests, or via the marketplace. Each Standard pack contains 5 cards. The chance to draw a card is as in the picture below:
Enchanted packs are limited to 1000 packs per each released race. Each Enchanted pack gives a chance for 1 Epic or Legendary card and 4 random cards with chances as in Standard packs. The chance to get an Epic card is 94%, and a Legendary card is 6%.
Divine packs are limited to 100 packs per each released race. Each Divine pack gives a chance for 1 Epic or Legendary card and 4 random cards with chances as in Standard packs. The chance to get an Epic card is 75%, and a Legendary card is 25%.
The NFT cards will be available for staking by the card owners. Each card's value will be determined based on its rarity, and players will earn staking rewards depending on it. Withdrawing cards from staking requires a 7-day unlocking period. During that time, no rewards are distributed. Cards that are staked cannot be used in the players' decks.
NFT Cards that are staked will be available to rent by other players. Each card will have a rental price assigned to it based on its value. Renting a card from the available ones allows the player to use it in his deck temporarily until the renting period is over.
The League is a multiplayer mode and the primary source of income for players. It is a ranked match where players get points for winning the battle and, as a result, advance to higher levels of the League. However, if a player loses a battle, they lose points from the ranking and get a lower position in the League. At the end of the week, the best players will share the prize pool amongst themselves.
Each player starts the week with 1000 ranking points. They receive ranking points for winning battles and thus increase their ranking, while they lose ranking points for losing battles. Depending on the battle's outcome and the winning Hero's remaining life, a player may gain or lose ranking points, as shown in the table below.
The Adventure is a single-player mode that allows players to explore new races and classes on the latest boards and dive deeper into the lore of Legends of Elysium. It is designed to prepare players for new cards and develop the best possible skills during boss fights while discovering an enticing storyline. With the acquired skills, players will gain an advantage in the other game modes. In addition to the expanded storyline and a chance to get accustomed to new content, Adventures will give players unique cards available only through completing it. Cards, obtained during Adventures, can be used in other game modes in players' decks.
