The wave of new card releases for Axie Infinity as a new set of skills and abilities are being teased once again on the road to Origin. In the latest sneak peek, Mouth cards get the spotlight and as usual it includes new abilities and effects for all Axie types.
We’ve had our set of Tail cards, Back cards, and now Mouth cards come into the spotlight. Some of the mouth cards and effects seem to have been retained as per this preview with the easily recognizable one’s including Lam for Aqua, Cute Bunny for Bug, and Kotaro for reptiles, but each did come with some new tweaks in terms of effects.
For instance Lam now deals 20 bonus damage if the Axie has more than 75% health. Cute Bunny still applies the fear effect but it doesn’t have to be played in a chain anymore and the effect now lasts for 4 rounds instead of 2. As for Kotaro, instead of gaining energy if the target Axie is faster, it now instead attacks or hits 2 random enemies to gain 1 energy, turning it into something like an area of effect card.
Some new mechanics also stand out such as the Banish effect. While this is yet to be explained, the “Banish” effect in card games usually means that the card gets completely removed from rotation instead of being put in a graveyard where it can be summoned back.
New rules such as “Initial” are also present in some of the cards, which we assume means that the card has to be used first during a round in order for the effect to trigger. Still these are just assumptions, and we’ll have to wait first for the new rulebook or glossary of terms to come out to see if we got it right.
Still, just like with the other cards already previewed, the new set of Mouth cards mean a big change in the Axie Infinity PVP meta once Origin arrives. As usual Sky Mavis notes that the effects are not final just yet so theorycraft for now but reserve your investments until we get more news.
