Axie Infinity is about to launch one of its most anticipated events, Wings of Nightmare, which will allow players to evolve parts and bodies of their axies into a new, terrifying version known as Nightmare.
This event will be available starting November 21 at 3 p.m. PHT / 2 a.m. EST and presents a unique opportunity for players to transform their axies into rare collectibles.
With a limited supply of Nightmare parts (39,000 units) and Nightmare bodies (only 1,500), this update is set to change the dynamic of the game and the Axie Infinity marketplace.
This information was provided by App.axie.
The event introduces the concept of Nightmare evolution, where players can transform standard parts of their axies into special Nightmare parts. These new components not only change the aesthetics of the axies but also increase their rarity and provide additional benefits, such as Fortune Slips, which allow players to receive daily rewards.
Axies with Nightmare parts will become collectible axies, giving them a privileged position within the Axie Infinity ecosystem. For those looking for something even more exclusive, Nightmare bodies, which can only be obtained through the return process, will offer an even more unique experience, albeit with high risk.
The return process involves an axie potentially losing its Nightmare part, but with the possibility of receiving a Nightmare body, which will be permanent and irreversible.
This process is done using an item called Dark Flame, which can be obtained through the Forge on App.axie or purchased on the marketplace. Players should be cautious, as once an axie transforms into a Nightmare Body, it cannot be undone, making the decision a crucial one.
The risk and reward of Axie Infinity Nightmare evolution
The main attraction of this event is the possibility of obtaining a Nightmare body, which becomes the focal point of an axie’s evolution.
However, the probability of obtaining this body is only 5%, making the process both risky and exciting. Players need to keep in mind that once they obtain the Nightmare body, they will lose the ability to use their axie’s original body, which could affect its aesthetics and gameplay.
On the other hand, axies with a Nightmare body have a significant advantage in future evolutions, as they have up to 5 times more chances of receiving shiny Nightmare parts, making them even rarer within the Axie Infinity universe. Additionally, these axies will be available in various Axie blockchain-games with new aesthetics, giving them a unique presence.
It is important to note that this event will have a significant impact on the marketplace, as only 1,500 Nightmare bodies and 39,000 Nightmare parts can be created, generating high demand for these items.
Those players who manage to obtain these exclusive items will find themselves in a privileged position, with a considerable advantage over others in terms of rarity and functionality.
