Heroes Of Mavia ($MAVIA + $RUBY)

Heroes Of Mavia is basically like the “Clash Of Clans” of blockchain gaming. It is a multiplayer strategy game in which players use their base, army and resources to compete against each other in a play-to-earn fashion.

Mavia is built on the Ethereum blockchain, utilizing Arbitrum as an L2 scaling solution. The MAVIA token can be bridged between ETH L1 and Arbitrum L2 by using the Mavia bridge.

Players will require land to play the game which they can either purchase, rent from another player or even partner with another landowner. On your land, they will begin building your base and growing your army.

Players can attack other players’ bases and will also have their bases attacked. You will earn the in-game currency RUBY from winning battles and successfully defending your base. You can then spend the RUBY to upgrade a number of things like your hero, base, army, resources etc.

Heroes Of Mavia was inspired by both Axie Infinity as well as Clash Of Clans. They took aspects of each game and combined them into a brand new game.

GAMEPLAY MECHANICS

GAMEPLAY LORE

Get ready to get your boots on the ground commander, because we are about to land in the manic world of Mavia! Emerging from the sea after a mysterious underwater eruption, the magical Isle of Mavia is full of precarious lands and riches yet to be seen by human eyes.

As you land in Mavia, you will have to build up your base and defensive structures to protect yourself from opportunistic enemy invaders. As you grow your capable army, you will be able to conquer other unwary bases and cunningly loot their precious Gold and Oil resources. The most tempting resource that draws adventurers to the island is called RUBY, the primary play-to-earn currency in the Mavia ecosystem. Successfully defeating enemy bases rewards you with RUBY and you can use it to cleverly upgrade your Base, Hero and Statue NFTs, further enhancing your production, power and earning potential. Vast tracts of untouched land are yet to be explored as more of this mysterious island will be progressively discovered through ‘land reveals’.

GAMEPLAY

Mavia focuses on proven gameplay aspects (Clash Of Clans) and combines them with crypto and play-to-earn dynamics. The gameplay is designed to get harder as you level up your base and your army.

Decision-making is crucial in Mavia and will put your skills to the test as players battle strategy against strategy. Players will have to think in terms of both offensive and defensive builds in order to win.

KEY FEATURES + WAYS TO LEAD YOUR BASE TO VICTORY

Build up your ground and air forces (vehicles, infantry, and air units)

Maximize your walls and towers (improve and upgrade your walls and strategically position them)

Assemble your defensive army (defensive buildings and units)

Deploy traps and decoys (defend your base with hidden traps and decoys)

Level up your HQ (every base has an HQ, upgrading this allows for more advanced buildings, traps, and troops)

Upgrade NFT heroes (Heroes are used to defending your base from other players and in offensive strikes. Heroes have special powers)

UPGRADABLE NFTS (BASES/HEROES/STATUES)

There are 3 main NFTs in the game which is required to start playing and levelling up in Mavia. The base or land is required to begin playing the game. The heroes are used as special characters to attack other players’ bases and defend your base, and the statues offer unique power-ups for your bases.

BASES/LAND

Owning or controlling a base is required to play Heroes Of Mavia. Players have a number of options to obtain or control a base.

Buy a base (Can be purchased for MAVIA on the Mavia marketplace.

Rent a base (Players can rent a base from another player if they do not want to purchase. You will pay a fixed rate of MAVIA per day.

Base partnership (Players who own a base can partner with another player. The ownership remains yours however your partner uses the base and splits the RUBY with you 50/50.

Every base is a unique NFT that can be sold, rented for passive income or entered into a partnership for a 50/50 split of RUBY earned. Every base hosts an HQ which is the heart of the base. This is where players can upgrade troops, heroes and more. Upgrading an HQ level of your base will increase the daily maximum RUBY earning potential (this is designed to incentivize players to use RUBY on their base instead of withdrawing from the ecosystem)

The most interesting part about the base NFTs is that as a player grows their base and upgrades their buildings, army etc. The upgrades are permanently attached to the NFT increasing the value and variance of each base.

HEROES

Heroes are used to defending your base and join in offensive attacks against other bases. You can have a max of 4 heroes per base. Each hero has a special attack. Heroes can be bought with MAVIA and upgraded with RUBY to increase their in-game stats (attack, defence, speed, etc)

You can purchase additional skins which will be permanently attached to your hero which increases the value. This is a smart way to increase value for buying in-game skins for characters.

STATUES

Statues provide unique boosts for the base that they are active on. These can be upgraded as well. Each base can hold 4 statues at a time.

These statues can increase things like resource production, cooldown town, building time, troop training time, and more. Players can form many different builds with these statues giving unique and differing strategies.

ROADMAP

Heroes Of Mavia isn’t set to fully launch until Q4 of 2022. However, you can position yourself to be ahead of the curve with this game by taking advantage of the Land, Hero and Statue NFT sales happening in Q1. I would assume that having these in-game assets would give you access to the private and public beta testing in Q2 and Q3.
