Axie Infinity, the popular NFT game based on battles between monsters (Pokemon-like) received a patch a few hours ago to balance the battle stats and some other stuff.
However, after the update, many players started complaining that some Axies (the game’s monsters) and items were much more affected than others.
More specifically, the complaints from Axie Infinity players are mainly focused on the nerf to Darkswoop, Anemone, and Eggshell.
Axie Infinity Darkswoop nerf pisses off players
According to multiple reports, Darkswoop is one of the Axies that suffered the most from the nerf. Before the nerf, the damage dealt by the monster was already low, and now it’s even lower.
Some believe that this decision was made so that players have to reinvest in the game. Apparently, the Darkswoop was very used among the users of birds Axies (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
Anemone and Eggshell were also nerfed
Anemone is another of the Axies in which the patch is most noticeable. As in the previous case, the problem is in the great reduction it had in the damage it can do to other monsters (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
Finally, the Eggshell was also nerfed after the last patch. The Eggshell is not a monster, but an item that is often used by players with teams of Axies birds (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
The Eggshell + Blackmail combo (another item in the game) was quite popular to manipulate the ‘aroma’ according to the player’s needs. Now, this mechanic is less convenient to use.
At the moment, there seems to be no official statement from the Axie team on these complaints. However, the matter is very recent, so there could be updates about it in the coming days.
If there are any future changes related to the nerf issue, we will update this article. So, stay tuned with us.
