Are you excited about Boomland's airdrop campaign? We've got you covered as this issue of GAM3S.GG guides, focuses on Boomland's Hunters On-Chain. This Web3 battle royale game pits players against each other and the environment across multiple game modes to determine the best Hunter. Each playable Hunter in Hunters On-Chain is a non-fungible token (NFT) that players can acquire through initial minting, the marketplace, or summoning. With 40 different classes, each Hunter is unique in its attributes and appearance. The game is easy to pick up, so let's dive in.

Game Basics

Whether you're playing on a PC or mobile, Hunters on Chain features simple and intuitive controls. You guide your character using directional buttons, and your hunter automatically attacks the nearest target within range.

In HOC, every character is a unique NFT with distinct abilities and traits. With over 40 classes to choose from, you'll find hunters that match your playstyle, from swift assassins like the Ninja, who excels in stealth and speed, to the powerful Barbarian, who charges into battle with brute strength. The Elf Archer uses precision and agility to outmaneuver foes, while the Dragon Knight combines human and dragon attributes for explosive combat. Level up your hunters to enhance their skills and turn the tide of battle in your favor.

The core gameplay of Hunters on Chain revolves around its battle royale setup, where players compete against each other and the environment. The game features various modes, each offering unique challenges and rewards. During battles, defeating enemies grants your hunter experience points, which are needed for leveling up. With each level, you can choose from a random set of power-ups (similar to roguelike augments) to enhance your hunter's abilities. As you progress, you earn $BGEM, the in-game currency, by participating in battles and events. The blockchain component allows players to trade and sell their NFT hunters and equipment, adding an exciting layer of strategy and potential profit.

Game Modes 

Battle Royale Mode (Bounty Hunter) throws players into the chaos of a fight for supremacy where 10 competitors clash. Without monsters to distract you, it's a pure PvP experience where only the strongest survive. To excel in this mode, prioritize finding hearts and tomes at map corners to heal and boost your stats during intense battles. Staying agile and adapting to the changing battlefield is crucial, as you can use your hunter's unique abilities to outsmart opponents. The game’s skill-based matchmaking ensures you face hunters of a similar skill level, making every match a fair and intense challenge.

Co-Op Mode teams you up with another player to protect the King from relentless waves of enemies. This mode emphasizes teamwork, communication, and survival against AI adversaries. The King is a crucial ally who will fight alongside you, so keeping him safe is vital, as he cannot be healed. As you progress, choose upgrades that complement your team's strengths and cover any weaknesses. Managing energy points is key, as they determine how many games you can play. Use tickets wisely to extend your playtime.

Dungeon Crawl (Boss Hunt) mode invites players to form a squad of four hunters and venture into dungeons filled with traps and powerful bosses. Your goal is to defeat the final boss and claim your rewards. Quickly level up your hunter by defeating smaller enemies to gain experience before facing the boss. Learning the boss's attack patterns (such as a high-damage fire breath attack that you should avoid) and dodging effectively is crucial to maximize your damage output. Even if you fall in battle, you'll respawn, allowing you to continue the fight until the timer runs out. Although you are part of a squad, earning rewards in Boss Hunt requires placing high in the battle rankings by dealing more damage to the boss compared to your squadmates, making it a competitive challenge within the team.

Hunt Mode offers a fast-paced, co-op PvE experience where four hunters compete to rack up the highest score by taking down waves of enemies. Matches are quick, so make every second count by moving efficiently and targeting high-value enemies. Familiarizing yourself with the map's biomes and themes is essential, as enemy difficulty increases with each wave. Your final rank determines your $BGEM earnings, so aim for the top spot to maximize your rewards.

General Tips and Tricks

As you get ready for the game, start by picking a hunter class that suits your preferred playstyle. You might want a high-HP tank that charges into enemies or a long-range mage that can take out multiple foes from afar. Experiment with different hunter classes until you find your favorite. Once you have a preferred hunter, learn its stats, including attack range, base attack speed, HP, and other attributes. These stats will influence the power-ups you choose as you level up. For example, if you play as a long-range sniper, you may want to choose power-ups that enhance your survivability and mobility, such as increased movement speed or stuns on your attacks.

Understanding your hunter's attack speed is crucial for mastering timing, allowing you to dodge enemy attacks while counterattacking efficiently. Additionally, use the terrain to your advantage; some enemies' projectiles can't penetrate walls, so take cover when needed. However, beware of enemies that throw projectiles over obstacles. If you are a competitive player, you might be interested in the Web3 aspects of the game, which include Hunters with various rarities and items such as equipment, artifacts, and shards that boost your hunter's stats.
