The objective is to predict the opponent's moves and tactically leverage your orb's unique elemental composition (traits). ### ORB Traits * Players need to possess an ORB NFT (404 token standard) to take part in duels * An ORB has three primary elemental traits **()** with unique trait scores totaling 127 points, dictating its strength in duels. * Additionally, orbs have two special traits: **Aer,** indicating the balance of elemental powers, and **Ether**, a dynamic score reflecting the player's achievements. ### **Gameplay** 1. **Duel Mechanics** * Players choose one of their ORB's primary elements (Blaze, Terra, Aer) each round. * Round outcomes are dependent on elemental hierarchy [(game logic](#game-logic)) * PvP duels are structured as best-of-5 round match-ups 2. **Strategy** * Involves predicting the opponent's choices based on their Orb’s traits. * Balancing between using one’s elemental strengths and exploiting the opponent’s weaknesses. * Adapting choices based on the outcomes of previous rounds 3. **Bonus traits** * **Aer Score**: Offers insights into the balance of an ORB. A more balanced ORB (lower Aer) is less predictable, making it harder for opponents to strategize against. * **Ether Score**: Evolves with the player's performance and accomplishments. It could offer challenges or match-ups based on Ether scores, ensuring players face appropriately skilled opponents. ### **Game Logic** 1. Blaze beats Terra 2. Terra beats Torrent 3. Torrent beats Blaze 4. In the event of a tie, win is determined based on trait score
