• Illuvium is a decentralized, NFT collection and auto battler game built on the Ethereum network.
• Integrated with the hyper-scalable ^^Immutable-X L2 solution^^, players of Illuvium gain access to zero gas fees for minting or exchanging of assets as well as sub-second transaction times, all with user maintained custody.
• DeFi staking mechanisms allow for^^ the fees earned within the game^^ to be paid out to staked token holders as ^^ongoing rewards for providing liquidity^^.
• Founding Illuvium DAO contributors, ^^Kieran & Aaron Warwick are the younger brothers of Synthetix founder, Kain Warwick^^ and combined offer a diverse set of skills in the gaming and crypto space.
• The power of Illuvials also varies, and is loosely related to their rarity. If you manage to ^^defeat them in battle^^, you can ^^collect them in Shards stored on the blockchain^^. If you don’t have much time to play, but still want a powerful deck, then ^^head to the Exchange where you can purchase^^ Illuvials from other players.
• The player is ^^a survivor of a vessel^^ that crashes on ^^a broken alien world^^, rich with varied climates and a vast shattered ocean engulfing most of the land.
• In the ^^adventure mode, after a successful encounter, the player will be able to capture the defeated Illuvials^^. To do this they must use a ^^Shard^^.
• Shard range in ^^capture power^^.This capture power, combined with the power of the Illuvial itself ^^determines the chance of capture^^.
• Illuvials do not evolve, instead ^^they fuse together to form more powerful stages of development^^.
• In order to fuse, two requirements must be met. First, the player must have ^^three of the same Illuvial^^. Secondly each of those must ^^have reached their maximum level, which is achieved through combat^^
• Players also have the option of ^^Bonding with one of their Illuvials to gain additional bonuses in combat^^. Choose wisely though, as ^^this is a semi permanent process^^.
• With each battle, Illuvials ^^grow in experience and gain levels^^, each Illuvial increases in power with levels.
• Illuvials that are defeated in combat will return to their Shard and t^^ake time to recover^^. If you don’t wish to wait there are various methods of reviving them, including ^^paying a small fee for instant revival^^.
• The player also takes place in the battle. In fact, the player character can be one of the most influential on the battlefield. ^^Each player wears a protective suit of armor and wields a futuristic weapon.^^
• to craft these weapons you will have to ^^mine and collect resources from the environment^^. And for the time-poor adventurer, there is always the ^^Exchange^^.
• Illuvium is a large world. Luckily, there are ^^Obelisks^^ scattered throughout that players can use to instantly travel from place to place, allowing access to different regions and different Illuvials.
• Over time more and more of these ^^Obelisks will be unlocked, increasing the size of the world^^.
• Obelisks also provide some protection from Illuvials. Inside their umbrella, ^^small towns have been erected^^.
• ^^At launch^^ players will be able to ^^adventure around the world and capture Illuvials^^ for their team. ^^Soon after that^^ the ^^battle arenas will go live^^, where players can battle each other to see who is best.
• There are two planned arenas both with different rules. In the ^^Ranked Arena^^ players will be on equal footing. Experience levels will be normalized, and each Illuvial will have a point cost associated with it, making combat much more skill based. The ^^Leviathan Arena^^ will have no such restraints. Spectators will be able to wager on the outcomes of these matches as well. This is where you go to assert dominance, and show off your collection.
