⚔️The Arena

Dragobits Arena

The Arena is the battlefield in Dragobits. When a player joins the arena, they are considered to be actively “playing.” To join the arena, a Dragobit must complete at least one training session. Joining the arena locks the Dragobit, preventing it from being transferred while in play.

A locked Dragobit cannot be transferred or approved for transfer by other contracts, though existing approvals remain intact.

Arena Mechanics

An area slot is defined by the species of a Dragobit. With 100 different species, there are 100 available slots, meaning only 100 players can be in the arena at the same time.

Slot Free

If the slot if free:

The joining Dragobit will occupy a slot and remain there for a randomly chosen duration (with minimum and maximum durations depending on instance configuration). During this time, the Dragobit will participate in the reward pool. After this period, the Dragobit can exit the slot at no cost.

Slot Occupied

If the slot if occupied:

The joining Dragobit will attack the current occupant. If the attacker wins, it claims all tokens from the defender’s vault, the defender is burned, and the attacker takes the slot, adhering to the same lock duration as in a free slot scenario. If the defender wins, the attacker is burned, and the defender seizes the attacker’s vault, remaining in play mode on the arena slot.

While in the arena, Dragobits can be attacked by other Dragobits of the same species, leading to battles.

Battles

Dragobits Battle

Stage Alpha and Stage 0 battles depend on several factors:

1

Base Strength

A Dragobit can only attack another Dragobit if its strength is at least a certain percengage of the defender’s. For example, a newly minted Dragobit with a strength of 200 cannot attack a Dragobit with a strength exceeding 10,000 if the latter has undergone significant training. The exact minimum strength depends on the deployment.

2

Strength Difference

The battle outcome is partly random, but the stronger Dragobit has a higher chance of winning. The defender also gains a slight advantage. For more details, refer to the smart contract logic.

3

Token Holdings

A Dragobit’s strength doubles (2x multiplier) if the owner holds a specified amount of the pegging token (e.g., PMON) at the time of battle.

4

Trait Matches

Perfectly matching traits boost a Dragobit’s strength. A match in species and atmosphere grants a 2x multiplier. If the species and platform also match, another 2x multiplier applies.

5

Auras

Auras can influence both attacker and defender strength.

6

Dragobugs

Dragobugs belonging to the battling Dragobits engage in sub-battles. They play an important strategic role, as their actual strengths and weaknesses vary over time.
