Best Plant Cards to Buy - Breeding and Battling in Axie Infinity (July 2021)

[@Japzel]

Make a whole series for each kind of Axie on what cards are good and what to avoid so we can just watch it on a playlist. Still hoping I'd be one of your scholars as well.

[@HarryandSlabs]

Agreed, just for the card series though. o7

[@mickatlas3272]

as someone just about to buy Axie for the first time & in the study before buy the only youtube I could find doing this sort of thing didn't speak English so 2 thumbs up Mate

[@k14pc]

As other commenters said, I'd love to see a series like this on each kind of Axie, or at least the viable ones. It would be great to also see a vid on different macro strategies too, so like what lineup to use.

Glad it was helpful!

[@investgeek.crypto]

I would LOVE to see a playlist like this! Do reptile and aqua next please!

[@christianmcivor6015]

This is what I wanted!!! This is the best part of the game!

[@kaidestinyz]

Another important note to make is making sure your SPEED is 31. Anything above 31 and your vegetal bite is useless vs your opponent's because if you steal first, you lose because he steals back that energy back. Another trick is to make your hp slightly below the max, at 59 instead of 61 because most plants are going to be 61. If you do that, you ensure that your steal will be more effective than most other plant tanks since lower hp at same speed means going 2nd.

[@Web3Wesley]

Yeah this is a good point. I put a note about the speed in the text during the reptile parts section because I forgot to talk about it. Steal is a huge role, but it is not the only use for your tank. Being able to move first and kill their tank can be very useful.

[@kaidestinyz]

@@Web3Wesley I haven't actually started playing the game but I've been a competitive player my whole life. Trying to build my 1st team right now and doing research. I got a question that I'm hoping you could answer. I want to build a team consisting of dual beast + tank focusing on morale (specifically "self-rally) but don't fully understand how it works. Does self-rally that gives 2 morale+ buffs last for 2 FULL rounds or just 2 attacks? Because I've seen a video where the morale+ buffs works like attack+ buff, it goes away after the attack is performed and another video where it acted like a buff that last for 2 full rounds. Also, if I were to cast it in turn 1, (2 morale+ buffs), then cast another in turn 2 (Does it 2+2=4 morale+ buffs for turn 2?), and goes back to 2 morale+ buffs in turn 3 because the 1st cast in turn 1 would have expired? Sorry to burden you with this question but thank you.

[@Web3Wesley]

@KaiDestinyz I believe it is for 2 rounds, so your assumption is correct. +2, +4, +2 if you use it on consecutive turns. You might know this already, but useful to keep in mind: To determine if an Axie will enter Last Stand, the game uses the following formulas: Excess Damage = Damage of fatal attack - Axie’s remaining HP Morale Modifier = (Axie’s remaining HP * Morale) / 100 If Morale Modifier is greater than Excess Damage on the finishing blow, then the Axie will enter Last Stand.

[@kaidestinyz]

@@Web3Wesley Thank you for your reply, really appreciate it. I did look up the formula before and intend to run "self-rally" on both beast with 61 morale. Still thinking on beast/beast/plant or beast/beast/reptile. Plant as a tank would be an easy choice but I intend to run "merry legion" since I have 2 beasts on the team. Merry legion is a beast card and that puts my plant's speed from 31 to 32 which is horrible. If I decide on a plant tank, I'd run "hot butt" to disable before using "serious" (No good alternatives for mouth cards) I'm considering a reptile tank because I'd make the tank faster than both my beasts to prevent birds from using "dark swoop" on my beasts. A aquatic tank would work too but reptile has Ivory chop for card draw which is pretty important for my double "self-rally" crit beasts comp. Wondering if I could get any of your expert inputs and opinions on a team centered around self-rally crit double beast comp. (I don't intend to run Ronin with Ivory as I find guaranteeing a crit on a 61 base morale to be counterintuitive hence boosting it with self-rally instead and swapping Ronin with Hero/Revenge arrow) One beast would run that and another beast would have revenge arrow/self-rally/nut throw/sinister strike. Looking for expert opinions as I'm undecided.

[@casadogaspar]

@@kaidestinyz It's nice to think about all of this previously, but as an example: you could start a round without hotbutt card in your hand, or the enemy didn't had serious on his. So try to get the best stats but don't overthink too much, because the cards you'll draw more of the time will be pretty trick and you have to adapt to every match.

[@Toxic0N3]

I think this is pretty solid. I'd disagree however on your read when it comes to mouth parts. When running a tank that has Disguise/Carrot for instance you're going to be better off taking Herbivore or Zigzag over Serious since you have two means of energy generation and while Serious can be powerful in the right circumstances overall the utility and significantly higher values on those cards will serve you better into more situations. Serious will serve you very well especially low in the ladder, but once you clear 2k+ MMR the likelihood that wins you a game is almost zero and the values on it are minimal at best. - From a 2600+ MMR player prior to the recent reset.

[@Web3Wesley]

I appreciate the feedback! That makes a lot of sense when I think about it. I will definitely take that into consideration.

[@Hairyskinback]

I bought my plant tank first and it was the Pumpkin/Carrot/Serious/Cactus version. Had breeds on it so no good for that but 97% pure. Have now been playing for 3 days and ticking along nicely at 185 SLP a day. I am still not sure if Hot Butt would have been a better pick in the long run and may look to make a change if I can make a little on the switch lol. I have Aqua mid and back-liner so will mention them when you cover Aqua. Quality content as always :) Hoping for some more on Cryptoblades as I put in about as much as you today and would like to hear your thought on the falling value and the new 5 fights for one fee option.

[@Web3Wesley]

Carrot is still a good card. Grinding SLP should be a lot faster once your level up a bit more as well. I am going to wait a few more days to update cyrptoblades, but I will say I really like the 5 fights for one fee option. It is a great way to save on gas fees. And in the long term, the average losses should stay the same. I really like that they clarified today that their ideal ROI is 1 month with the oracle system. That helps people a lot when deciding to join

[@MaKuInJapan]

@@Web3Wesley ha ha. yeah i saw you pronounce it correctly the first time around. My reply was in jest :)

[@myrrhsee1]

Hey great video. However, i was under the impression that the term "chained" was referring to 2 or more axies using the same card type. As opposed to a "combo", that can be executed by a single axie. What is your say on this? This is in reference to the card bamboo clan/bamboo shoot. You're doing great work👍... keep going

[@mieuxdormir]

Hey that's perfectly what I was looking for! I do have one question: what's the difference between ranged and melee cards?

[@eckie3292]

ranged is that axies attack from an distance melee is that axies attack near

[@Web3Wesley]

@Frobei - AoC if you go to the Axie Zone tier list, there is a little bow and arrow symbol in the corner of the ranged cards to help you tell

[@mieuxdormir]

@@Web3Wesley Thanks for your reply and I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. Does ranged or melee attacks change anything in a way we should fight? I don't remember seeing any restrictions such as the backline not being able to use a melee attack because he's too "far"

[@Web3Wesley]

@Frobei - AoC Ah, no range or melee won't effect who you attack or how. There are certain cards like Sneaky Raid that attack axies in the back, but that is unrelated to melee vs ranged. It only really matters when a card "disables ranged attacks" and that kind of thing

Please make identic video for other axies types,it was very useful dear

[@vaultdweller123]

Tbh man i watched all ur video so far about what good cards on each type. But i will disagree with you about aqua stock. Aqua stock is the perfect card against aqua, specially double aqua who doesn't have any other attack other than aqua card. Combined with carrot. They can burst ur plant using 5 aqua cards and u end up with 5 energy and ur plant still alive. With pumpkin i agree with you that the most important for a plant is defense, BUT no matter how defensive u can be and a beast combo u with 4 cards ur plant just wont survive man. Believe me i've beem from pumpkin to aqua stock and aqua stock made me high MMR than pumpkin. Dont think about ur tank surviving bec sometime the card draws doesnt even give ur plant cards. So its better to get value from them before they die bec no matter what u do u cant save them from dying

Great video 1st axis content creator I watched keep coming back and have subscribed 5 star.. I haven't jumped into axis yet but have been think a double aqua and a plant for a team but also breed the aqua twice sell the parents buy a third to start breeding and also play the game at the same time, would appreciate if you could give me any advice on this is it a good idea. Or anyone else with free time can help answer too thanks

[@Web3Wesley]

That is a good strategy. You can save some money by getting a plant tank that already has some breeds on it, maybe a reptile part or two like I mention at the end of the video. And put more of your budget towards getting high purity aqua for the breeding. If you were just breeding, I would say buy two aquas that are identical to maximize profits, but if you are using them in a double aqua team they should have a few different moves. The midliner should be faster if possible (lower ID if they are both pure) with nimo and one high defense card. The backline aqua should ideally have koi and goldfish for speed control, and other high damage cards to finish off the game. A lot of double aqua teams are opting for a zero cost card on the backliner as well to avoid stuns from reptiles, but if your goal is to breed as well I would not worry about this.

[@jamiefiddes9187]

[@Bavubuka]

Thank you. Question, with the rising cost of AXS token, won't that negatively affect new comers' access to breeding? Does the AXIE team have a plan for this so that it doesn't become unprofitable for breeders? Any ideas on this?

[@Web3Wesley]

Profit margins have been getting much thinner. I am not sure what there plan is, but breeding is the absolutely essential to the game so I am sure they will incentives it. They have new competitions coming up to reward AXS to player, as well as the next season soon to reward more free AXS to players. This will allow a bunch of people to breed at a low cost, but it will also increase the circulating supply which could lower price of AXS. And of course they could reduce the cost of breeding. Reduce the SLP or AXS needed. We will just have to wait and see what happens though

what's better? start by getting 3 cheap axies that can be used to play the game, or start by breeding? which way is cheaper? would it make any sense to start by playing the game with 3 cheap axies and saving up SLP to buy breeding axies later (by swapping SLP to ETH on uniswap)?

[@Web3Wesley]

Because of the breeding costs, it is probably cheaper to start with a team for battling. There is lots of ways to save money with non pure breeds and substituting cards, but don't buy the cheapest axies you see. This will make grinding and saving up SLP a lot harder
