Steel > 🧱 Wood > ❄️ Ice > 🔥 Fire > ☘️ Earth > 🛡 Steel

Steel > Wood

Wood > Ice

Ice > Fire

Battling dominant elemental styles against weaker elements will increase the chances of winning battles by 20%. Weaker elements battling dominant elements will decrease the chances of winning by 20%.

Tip: In the war, you will encounter 4 different enemies so choose wisely. To increase your probability of winning the war, choose an enemy with the lowest combat power and the weaker element.

Each player will start with 24 battle energy. Each battle uses 1 battle energy. You can recover your battle energy to full capacity once every 24 hours by using the “Recover Energy” function.
To maximize battles, do not use the “Recover Energy” feature unless your Battle Energy is 0.

6.5 Fee Error: You may encounter a fee error in some transactions. This is not a game bug. When you try to make a transaction, your transaction may not be approved depending on the density of the MATIC network, in which case you will get a fee error.
