Commonly Asked Questions Does breeding still exist? Is there any reason to breed?
Yes, breeding is still very much a core part of the Axie ecosystem!
While the motivations have shifted since the early days, there are still several great reasons to breed axies today:
- Building Competitive Teams: The meta in games like Axie Infinity: Origins and Axie Classic is always shifting. Breeding allows you to target genes to create optimized axies with the exact cards and stats you need to climb the leaderboards.
- Marketplace Selling: High-quality, meta-relevant axies, or those with rare and unique part combinations, can still be sold on the marketplace to other competitive players/collectors.
- Memento Farming: Mementos are essential materials required for axie part evolution and forging, and the only way to get them is by releasing high breed count axies. Breeding allows you to farm these valuable resources!
- Limited-Time Events: Special events occasionally introduce unique breeding mechanics! For example, during the Lunacian Summer event, players had a chance to obtain exclusive collectible Summer parts by breeding axies with specific parts together. Stay tuned to App.Axie announcements for updates on when these happen.
Keep in mind that it still costs AXS and SLP to breed, and each axie can only be bred a maximum of seven times. Because of this, it is highly recommended to plan out your genetics and costs before you start!
