We are pleased to announce an exclusive contest on Lens from December 1st, but before that, let us give you a brief presentation of our auto battler designed to exist forever on the blockchain 👇
🔮 **MINT**
May 17th 2021, we launched the minting of 10,000 digital collectibles of Lucha Libre Wrestlers in a pixel art style.
The mint was free, plus the cost of @chainlink.lens VRF, 2 $LINK, to randomly generate attributes, art and other metadata
Each Luchador could obtain 0-8 attributes (no 8 attribute luchadores occurred).
Rarity can be derived from the table below: 7 > 0 > 6 > 5 > 1 > 4 > 2 > 3
Here you can find rarity info: https://luchadores.io/rarity
👾 **LUCHADORES**
Before anything else, joining the Luchadores Club allow you to participate in our grand experiment of unstoppable and transparent game-building.
Luchadores, ERC 721, have their art and metadata stored on Ethereum when game mechanics and tokenomics are stored on Polygon.
All Luchadores are equal, starting with 323 HP and 88 stats, this means that a rarer Luchador is not stronger, only its yield will be higher.
Indeed, to encourage healthy distribution and fair game progression, since December 24, 2021 and for a period of 1 year, Luchadores owners earn LUCHA according to their rarity.
Here you can find yield info: https://luchadores.io/yield
🥊 **FIGHTS**
In order to build a competitive Luchador to win Tournaments or Liga Mayor, players choose 3 skills, from currently a dozen , and 1 passive before entering the ring.
Luchadores attack each other in turn and each successful attack loads their Mojo Gauge (energy)
Once charged to 100, the Mojo Gauge empties to trigger Skill 1
Skills run in chronological order until one of two Luchadores is knocked down (HP = 0)
Wearables and trainings but especially the skills/passive synergizing with the statistics, the whole sprinkled of random trustless with the Chainlink VRF make the fights exciting and the outcome sometimes surprising
🎁 **LUCHADVENT CALENDAR**
To bring the project to the Bloomers, once a day, from December 1 to 24, we will post about the Luchadvent Calendar.
To participate, Lens users should follow Luchadores.lens & #LMCC (Like, Mirror, Comment & Collect) posts to have a chance to be drawn.
Each post will be collectible against a dust of Matic (0.001 MATIC) to avoid bots.
26 participants will win a prize from our collections, among:
· 3 Luchadores - ERC 721 (Ethereum)
· 25 wearables spaceship pilot x Cometh ERC 1155 (Polygon)
· 5 piñatas spaceship pilot x Cometh ERC 1155 (Polygon)
· 12,500 $LUCHA, ERC 20 (Polygon)
· 3 new piñatas ERC 1155 (Polygon)
*To keep the suspense to the end, the 26 winners, 3 for the Xmas day, **will be drawn after Christmas**.*
See you on Thursday Luchamigos!
