The game is divided into **two distinct phases**, each designed to test strategy, progression, and risk-reward decisions.

### Phase 1: Battling Dragma’s Underlings

<figure><img src="/files/3BWoJuMM5hqYm6wEnVO4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The first step in your journey is to defeat **Dragma’s Underlings**. These encounters are essential for powering up your heroes and accumulating **$HERO**, the in-game utility token used for progression and upgrades.

#### 🧩 Core Mechanics

* ✅ Available immediately at Season 2 launch
* ⚔️ Requires a **Hero + Weapon loadout** to enter battle
* ⏱️ **Minimum stake duration: 6 hours**
* 💰 Earn **$HERO tokens** passively based on damage output and sharpness
* 🛠️ Use $HERO to **train heroes**, **repair/sharpen weapons**, and **mint or remix new weapons**

***

#### 💰 How $HERO Rewards Are Calculated

Your **$HERO/day** from battling Underlings is determined by:

* Total **Damage Output**
* Hero **Level**
* Weapon **Sharpness**

***

**1. Maximum $HERO/day**

The upper limit of what your hero can earn per day, based on damage:

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 `maxHeroPerDay = (Damage × 400) / (20 + Hero Level)`
{% endhint %}

***

**2. Base $HERO/day**

Guaranteed **80% of your maxHeroPerDay**, regardless of weapon sharpness:

{% hint style="info" %}
`baseHeroPerDay = 0.8 × maxHeroPerDay`
{% endhint %}

***

**3. Sharpness Bonus**

Up to **20% bonus**, scaled by your weapon's current Sharpness:

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 `bonusHeroPerDay = 0.2 × maxHeroPerDay × (Sharpness / MaxSharpness)`
{% endhint %}

***

**4. Effective $HERO/day**

Your **actual daily reward** is the sum of base and sharpness bonus:

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 `effectiveHeroPerDay = 50 + baseHeroPerDay + bonusHeroPerDay`
{% endhint %}

***

#### 🧪 Example

* **Damage**: 210
* **Hero Level**: 10
* **Sharpness**: 5/10

Calculation:

* `maxHeroPerDay = (210 × 400) / (20 + 10) = 2800`
* `base = 0.8 × 2800 = 2240`
* `bonus = 0.2 × 2800 × 0.5 = 280`
* `total = 2520 $HERO/day`

> 🧤 Heroes must be staked **at least 6 hours** before returning home.
