Axie Infinity started as a Web3 Game on the Ethereum network and has expanded to become a set of games and experiences that make up the Axie universe, on its own network, the Ronin Blockchain. This is a game that has survived the Crypto Bear Markets and has changed its rewards model over time, which raises the following question: What is Axie Infinity like in 2025?
Let's explore the Axie Infinity ecosystem, which has two main games, Origins and Classic. Then we will talk about the rewards system and finally give some tips on how to assemble your Axies team for those who are interested.
I'll be much appreaciated if you Upvote, Reblogs or give any Tips ( PIZZA 🍕, PGM 🎮, LOLZ 😆, ALIVE ❤️, etc ). Thanks and have good reading! 🍀
[ENGLISH VERSION]
Axie Infinity in 2025
Axie Infinity started as a single NFT Card game where you needed 3 NFTs, called Axies. You had to choose Axies that had good cards in order to beat your opponents. This game mode is currently called Axie Classic, representing the original game, which is the simplest version counting as cards only 4 parts of the Axie's body and without extra abilities, only the effects described on the cards.
However, what was just a game has now become a universe, with other games and experiences, with the second main game in the franchise being Axie Origins, which is much more complex since there is a greater variety of cards and possible combinations, because it counts all of Axie's body parts as Cards, having a greater variety. It also has an auxiliary system of runes and charms that give Axie extra abilities during the match, as well as Seasons that change the game's meta.

Although it is an old game for the Blockchain Games market, Axie Infinity still generates a considerable amount of revenue in its Marketplace, with the sale of Axies, Accessories, Lands, and other NFTs. In the 30-day data, we can see that 314 thousand sales were made with a volume of 676 ethereum and 174 thousand axies sold.
Rewards System

Both Axie Classic and Axie Origins have a Leaderboard reward system, which rewards players who are better ranked in the rankings. Generally, a reward is distributed at the end of the game season and also from a certain ranking you earn SLP tokens for victory.

In addition to the Leaderboard, the Bounties Board was implemented, which is divided into Daily Bounties, where you complete daily quests to collect points and thus earn a share of the AXS Pool, and the Premier Bounty Board, which is released when you collect 1000 points, having quests that can directly reward 1 AXS if you are lucky, and a pool that is divided among fewer players, which means more rewards in AXS too.
Tips for building your Team
To start playing Axie Infinity and to unlock the Bounty Boards you will need at least a team with 3 Axies, which currently using the cheapest Axies is costing around $10, since each one costs $3. However, if you don't choose a good team, you will have difficulty winning the matches, taking longer to complete the Bounties and staying in a very low Ranking. Additionally, some players say it's good to have one team for Axie Classic and another for Axie Origins, because the effects of the cards are different and a team that is good in one game mode won't necessarily be good in the other as well. The problem is that to do this you need to have 6 Axies, 3 for each game mode, which increases the cost.
To choose your Axies, one tip is to look at websites that show the team compositions of the Top Players to get inspiration for building your team, because following a strategy makes it easier to advance in the rankings. An example of a website is Axie Top, which shows the teams that the Top 1000 players are using and also informs you in a graph which teams are being used the most, as in the case of this week Sleep Poison, Poison, Rage and Feather are being used at over 10%. It is important to choose a team that you like and feel comfortable with, since you will be using them every day to complete bounties and climb the rankings.
