i spent 1 000 in ethereum to play this game axi infinity the most popular play to earn game in the world how in the world can someone justify spending a thousand dollars to play the game if you can make a lot of money playing a game like this a thousand dollars may not seem like a big investment i i i bought a graphics card a little while back to mine cryptocurrency which netted me much more than i paid for it i paid almost a thousand dollars for that this is a lot more fun than a graphics card so i wanted to document my experience getting into axionfinity you guys there’s been news articles and stuff about how people in third world countries have been making livings and and and earning more than they have ever done in the jobs available in their own countries and it was a fascinating concept for me to get into and i’ve finally taken the steps that i could do that to kind of document my experience and show you how the game works so this is the first game that i ever played in axiomfinity i saved it just for you i hope you feel special are we gonna go into adventure mode you can earn slp which are small love potions and you also earn experience the higher the level your axe is the more slp you can earn and that’s really how you play to earn in this game so we’re going to start off with the first level here i built my team there’s a bunch of dynamics that go along with the team but essentially you want to build a team composition that will allow you to i don’t know kind of have fun and be competitive at the same time there’s a bunch of different builds and a bunch of different strategies and honestly i could have spent less than a thousand dollars to get into this game but i wanted to spend uh enough to get the team that i wanted and the ability to breed my axes we’ll talk about that in a little bit too uh i have my team here which is essentially a bird axey a beast axey and a plant axe the plant acts kind of like a tank the beak the beast acts kind of like a midliner dps and off tank and uh the bird is straight up glass cannon so i hope i got that right i named my team og z or the ogs uh we could say and uh we’re ready to fight let’s just start here all right so this is my lineup i’m in the adventure mode so i don’t really have a time limit if we would be playing pvp there would be another team of axes across from me and they would be just like me and it wouldn’t be an ai it would be another person they’d probably be a lot more skilled than me since my first time but you have a a set of cards that you can play corresponding to each one of your axes i’m making sure that i’m not in the way here i shouldn’t be covering anything up with my face cam you have some energy and the total cards in your deck that are left so what you want to do naturally is destroy the other team it’s fairly simple now you can you see the round or which order you go in for the round these these are determined from the speed that your axes have so right now my bird which is the back liner is the fastest that i have and there’s a number of things that you can do when you go to strategize killing your opponent now because i’m not real familiar with the game i’m just going to kind of get into some stuff i know that my beast axi there’s only one card available that would came with the shuffle these are completely random and you naturally want to use different cards in combination to do more damage because i know that i need more of the beast cards to really be effective i’m gonna start off by using my bird carts now i have some cards that allow me to hit the back line and do a lot of damage i think what i’m gonna do is just use my two all out shots and i think i’m gonna use my my wooden stab deal 120 damage if this shield actually breaks so they’re going to try to do damage to me and what i want to do is create a shield so if they break my shield then i’m gonna do extra damage to them all right now i have three left i’m gonna use oh man i have a bunch of cards available but what you don’t use in this round will carry over to the next and you generate two energy every round so i’m gonna go ahead and just end my turn and it’s going to pretty much play all the cards so my bird axi is going to attack oh my gosh it’s so hard man that’s really really cool so one axi uh well one blob down one slime down or whatever they didn’t even break my shield yet but they just did there we go and you can see that they did a little bit of a debuff on me and i have a speed down but i did get some uh another beast card which i can use to do a crit i can heal my plant axi right here too and i can do another vegetable bite i have five energy to use which means i could use all the cards here and that’s exactly what i’m going to do and i’m going to try to finish out the opposing team so they’re going to deal everything up my bird axia is going to come out and do some damage my bird actually took some damage last time because the ability that i use actually hurts me but this is supposed to you can see that i healed mostly this i guess you could say this this quest or the npc challenge the the adventure mode is not really designed to be too difficult but it does scale so the next level will be harder and go and so on and so forth so we have plenty energy we can do use all of our uh our cards here and we’re gonna be able to finish this guy off no problem there’s my nut throw and i did a very very simple victory as it should be for the very very first quest in the game so it shows how i got experience for all of my team members and i got my reward the small love potion so small love potions if i remember correctly they go for around 14 cents a piece right now and that it’s a cryptocurrency right so it fluctuates in value depending on how many people are using them selling them buying all sorts of stuff and now i have the ability to go into the second quest but we’re not going to do that right now i’m going to show you a little bit more about my team and how i bought them so my first and biggest source of information was my discord i have a few people that play actually infinity in my discord and they gave me so much information and a bunch of sources to actually look it up for myself one of the websites i use this axisone they have a bunch of great tools here like a breeding simulator axi builds you can even look at the leaderboards of what the people in the high elo ranks are doing and what type of team compositions they are and i use that for a bunch of things you can see what the maximum stats are for some of these builds that you might be going for the type of combinations that work really really well in axi for the specific builds and of course a tier chord list making you aware of what the higher power skills are and what you might look for in combinations purity and all that stuff really really matters if you’re looking into breeding but honestly it comes down to the stats and the cards that you want to use in order to effectively strategize against your opponent strategies or whatever the meta may be but my discord guys i’m telling you these guys helped me out so much and they’re always giving me information if you want to join a bunch of like-minded individuals on the play to earn community axia infinity as well as a bunch of other games that i’ve done some videos for and more we got a lovely discord that i would love for you to be a part of make sure to check the links in the description below or just follow the link that’s on the screen now it’s discord.

gigi zuljin now i’m going to show you a little bit how i bought my axes in the market so this is the axi marketplace this is where you can buy axes there’s no other way to get them in the game except for breeding so to get your initial axi team you actually need to be either given them which doesn’t really happen unless you win one or something from a contest or you buy them now you can see the usd price tags next to all of these this weird symbol right here is ethereum and it really all depends on what you want but these axes scale to ridiculous amounts of money if we have uh if we were to change some of the filters right here we could find specific traits that we want in our axes what i did is i bought these three you can see i bought them for .

16 each .1414 eath and 0.15498 which is right underneath a thousand dollars with the current value of each uh if we were to take a look at my specific axes for instance i named them all accordingly just some cool names that i thought of but these are all the skills that my axes had that you saw me use an in-game and there’s a bunch of traits paired with a stat pool and these are pretty much pure stats there’s also a breed count and that’s mainly what you’re paying for is the purity of the breed and the ability to produce more axes with it a lot of people going into the first time they put a team together to save money will buy them with a higher breed count now it costs more money or small love potions which is how you breed the axes it costs more of those to breed as you go so the first time you breed an axi if they have zero of seven breeds it costs 100 slp or small love potions per axi and a little bit more of another currency called axs but it’s relatively inexpensive the next time you breathe those same axes they cost 200 then 400 then 800 than 1600 than 3200 so it gets much much much more expensive to put the axes together so if we were to take a look at this plant axi that i have and try to buy it again on the market i had sirius shroom’s grace beach and carrot let’s try to put those together in a pure form axi and i’ll show you how much it costs so i use the filters here to narrow down the parts that my axi had as well as the breed count that it has which is two of seven and the cheapest axi on the market is running at 430 bucks or 0.

209 if i take a look at what i paid for mine i paid 0.16 so actually at 0.1549 so i had to search quite a bit to get the build that i wanted for a reasonable cost if i were to raise that down to zero if i would want it pure with no breeds it would actually cost me 0.

265 and you can see that the scaling for some of these go really really high this actually is on sale for 2162 now again you might say a thousand dollars is still so much money to get into a game i understand that it’s sort of an investment which none of this is financial advice this is just how i do things but if i had the chance to breed an axi like this and sell it on the market wouldn’t it be worth being able to spend a thousand dollars if i could get 2 162 dollars back that’s that’s the whole premise of this so it’s not just that you get love potions which you can also trade for usd if you want now you only saw me do one battle in an npc where i got one small love potion but you actually get a lot more than that so i’ve done quite a few battles since my first battle that i recorded to show you guys and i wanted to show you a little bit how the slp works so going into quest here you can see that there’s a daily amount that you can get complete all daily quests i have two out of three complete and they would give me 50 small love potions to claim to get this reward you need to complete 10 adventure mode levels you need to do a daily check-in and also win five arena matches now i’ve won four out of five arena matches i’ve lost quite a few as well and i got the to completed the 10 adventure mode levels which gets me very very close to here so what i need to do is fight one more pvp battle and win in order to collect that daily reward and you can see i already have a little bit of the sop if i look i already have 42 potions that i’ve earned so the 42 plus the 50 i’ve already gained 92 potions for the day if i get this daily quest so let’s go ahead and go into arena and i’ll try to fight this team i lose almost just as much as i win now i’m going to a uh a plant and two aquas which are kind of kind of difficult for me i’ve had some trouble with them there’s a few things that you need to consider but you almost try to have to predict what’s going on i go first so i get first stab if i want to try to do something but i don’t really have a whole lot of cards for my bird that’s going to go first i could try to go for a critical right here but i like to have four energy to do this so i could maybe say that he’s gonna do something and let me try to save energy but what i’m gonna do is i’m just gonna intern and see if we both end up passing now if we both in the passing that means that i’ll just gain energy and so will he but i wouldn’t have wasted any energy to prevent him from doing something we’ll see how this plays out and we both passed so he was kind of hoping that i would do something because some of these cards allow you to get energy steal from them okay so i know you can’t see the bird card that i have but i haven’t drawn any bird cards i did however draw uh some more beast cards and some more plant cords so what i’m gonna do is i’m pretty sure that he’s gonna attack this time i’m gonna try to gain some energy from him by using my steel energy of opponent if opponent if comboed with another cord and gain one energy of actually shield breaks can only trigger once per round so actually i’m gonna i’m gonna do that the opposite way here i’m gonna do carrot hammer and vegetable bite and i think i’m going to pass from there maybe yeah yeah yeah i’m just gonna pass from there so the time goes by quick he’s gonna go all out here he’s probably gonna kill my tank maybe not i should have healed but i didn’t know he was going to do that much damage to me uh although i did gain some energy from doing the setup like i did and now my bird has a few cards and i go first with seven energy to use so what i’m gonna do is i’m gonna try to do as much damage as i can to his tank and get that out the way i’m pretty sure that i can do a massive crit right here because of the combos that i have i’m gonna do single combat critical strike when comboed with at least two other cards i’m gonna do the ivory stab and the two nut throws and then i’m gonna do headshot actually let’s do uh dark swoop heart attack and head shot for maximum maximum damage and let’s see how this goes so i the i get to go in the back line with the bird and try to do as much damage as i can and kind of skip over some of the stuff my plant died but that’s okay i have the ability to do a lot of damage here with my beast and i got rid of one of his axes so i still have two axes he still has two axes i’m gonna go first but he’s gonna get two turns before my beast thankfully i don’t really have any beast cards to use so i can try to kill i do have the ability to kill one of his axes right here uh i think i’m just gonna use everything because two of my cards use zero and i just don’t want to take the chance they they can put up quite a bit of shields here actually one ivory stab yeah i’m just gonna take the chance here he’s probably gonna kill my beast taxi here okay so i was i only used one energy anyway so i was able to kill him and we’ll see how this turns out now he just used a lot of energy my bird goes first and i have the ability to do a ton of damage here dark swoop doesn’t do a whole bunch of damage and it doesn’t really help me but i have excess energy so i’m gonna use it he’s using a shield he’s gonna try to get as much damage as he can reduced and i’m gonna try to do a little bit there we go he’s gonna do quite a bit of damage to me here am i gonna go first next round i sure will okay good kind of the same thing this time he’s gonna use a lot of shield as well uh but not as much he didn’t have the right cards to use so i’m gonna be able to do quite a bit of damage here and i think i just got the kill perfect that’s the victory i was hoping it would go like that for the recording i could have well lost that battle they usually come down pretty close but all in all i’m at uh 1192 elo and i just got 17 for the rating so i’ve been losing or winning about 17 to 20.

um i guess you could say uh elo rating points i’m not really sure what to call and a one seven small love potion so with that i actually completed my daily quest i could go to claim here and i got the 50 small love potions i still have two energy to burn which i end up getting every i end up getting five energy every five hours i think is how it goes to you can see the countdown right here i still have two energy left to play with for the day the way that energy works is you can earn as much xp as you want in the adventure mode without energy but you can’t earn small love potions anymore when you run out of energy so you have a certain amount that you can actually grind per day but if i go to quest here uh i mean if i go to inventory here you’ll see that i have the 99 love potions for the day so write it a hundred love potions a day is what i can get based on my current level of experience and my current elo which gives you some more rewards as you get higher ranked so as i said the small love potions are around 14 cents a piece i earned about 99 today so far so i could say that i earned about 14 does this take a little while to get up to a thousand bucks yes but you forget i can end up breeding and all sorts of stuff honestly gaining the slp potions right now is an easy way to use them for breeding you need two axes of the same kind well you should if you want to get any worth out of it you need two axes so i would need another plant axis before i can breed them again and it’ll cost me some slp but you can see there’s a lot of potential being able to earn 14 a day right here is one of the reasons that a lot of people are doing scholarship programs and stuff like that i haven’t currently decided whether or not i’m ever going to get into that whether i’m going to offer scholarships it’s an interesting format it’s basically when you get when you buy an axi team and allow someone to play that account for you for revenue splits a lot of people can’t afford the initial upfront cost for getting an axie team so scholarship programs are something that you can do to help people and earn a little bit of money as well so those are all some interesting concepts i really just wanted to introduce the game to you i might be doing some battles later on maybe some team composition videos and maybe some other kind of videos like showing off breeding and stuff like that when i get around to it let me know what you think you guys if y’all hoping to find more accent content on this channel i’d love to hear your feedback thanks so much for watching as always this is lujan signing off we’ll see you next time
