App.axie has launched new updates aimed at improving the gameplay experience for Lunacians, particularly those involved in axie evolution and Fortune Slip rewards. The latest features—Bulk Ascension and enhanced Fortune Slip mechanics—are designed to make the ascension process faster and provide greater rewards for evolved collectible axies. Here is a breakdown of these new features and how they benefit players.

What is Axie Infinity?

Axie Infinity is a card-based strategy game where players collect, own, and use an infinite variety of creatures called Axies to battle. Players can take down evil Chimeras in the Adventure mode or challenge other players in the Arena to reach the top of the Leaderboard. The web3 game is free to download and play on Android, PC, and MacOS devices.

Three free non-NFT starter axies are available for everyone to utilize, enjoy, and get more acquainted with the game, with more available to be unlocked by playing the game. Starter axies are available to allow new players the opportunity to play Axie Infinity without first having to purchase axies. This allows users to test the product with absolutely no strings attached. 

Introducing Bulk Ascension

With the introduction of Bulk Ascension, players can now ascend up to 20 axies simultaneously, significantly reducing the time required for individual ascensions. Previously, axies could only ascend one at a time, making the process slower for those with large collections. This new feature accelerates the gameplay and strengthens axies faster, providing a more streamlined experience for dedicated Lunacians.

How Bulk Ascension Works:

1. Access App.axie.
2. Navigate to the Axie Experience section and choose "Axie Ascension."
3. Select up to 20 axies for ascension.
4. Confirm the transaction and pay the $AXS ascension fee.
5. Wait a few minutes for the ascension process to complete.

It is important to note that while the new feature speeds up the process, Bulk Ascension requires slightly more RON due to the increased data associated with processing multiple axies. Additionally, some details like new level caps or Radiant Spirit Shell rewards for Mystic axies may not be visible during the transaction.

Fortune Slip Improvements

Two key updates have also been introduced to the Fortune Slip system. These updates enhance the rewards for collectible axie holders by increasing the potential Fortune Slips earned based on axie evolution.

1. Evolved Parts Bonus: Each evolved collectible axie part now increases the base Fortune Slip earnings by 20%. This incentivizes players to evolve their collectible axies, offering higher returns through more Fortune Slips.
2. Fortune Slip Preview Tool: App.axie now features a Fortune Slip breakdown preview, which displays both the base amount of Fortune Slips and any possible bonus amounts based on the number of evolved parts. This new feature allows players to better plan their collectible axie evolutions and predict future rewards.

Conditions for Earning Fortune Slips

To receive Fortune Slips, collectible axies must meet specific conditions:

• The axies must be in the wallet linked to the App.axie account.
• The axies should not be listed for sale, transferred, or delegated for at least 24 hours prior to claiming slips.

Any axies that have been recently delisted, transferred, or delegated will be marked as "pending" in the Fortune Slip summary page, and no slips will be awarded until the conditions are met.

The Evolution of Axie Core

These updates further support the long-term vision of Axie Core, which emphasizes dynamic NFTs and vertical progression. Part Evolution, introduced ten months ago, was a significant step toward this goal, enabling players to evolve their axies and strengthen their bonds within the game.

The new Bulk Ascension and Fortune Slip updates bring additional utility and rewards for evolved axies, reinforcing the depth and growth opportunities available to players. As App.axie continues to evolve, Lunacians can expect more features that enhance the gameplay experience and add value to their axie collections.

Final Thoughts

The latest App.axie updates bring significant improvements to axie ascension and Fortune Slip mechanics. Bulk Ascension allows players to ascend multiple axies at once, while the Fortune Slip updates offer greater rewards for evolved collectible axies. These changes further align with the broader Axie Core vision of dynamic NFTs and progression within the game, offering players enhanced utility and efficiency in their gameplay.
