Axie Classes

There are total of 9 classes in Axie Infinity, but 3 of them, dawn, dusk, and mech are special classes. they do not have their own cards and body parts.

Class Advantages

The class of an Axie is important for combat, because each class is weak and strong against other classes. The Axie that has the class advantage will deal 15% additional damage. The Axie that has the class disadvantage will deal 15% less damage. For example, a Bird class Axie deals 15% additional damage to a Beast class Axie.

In addition, when an Axie of a certain class uses a card from its own class, it gets a 10% attack and shield bonus. For example, a Plant Axie playing a plant card will receive 10% extra attack/shield.

Important to note is that these bonuses stack. A Beast Axie using a Beast card against a Plant target will do 25% (10% + 15%) more damage.

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 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 )/ 500.
  • 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 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.
