Heroes: Classes, Stats, Skills & Progression

Heroes are your actors in the world of Axoma — they fight, quest, fish, patrol and clear dungeons. Heroes are NFTs on Sui; the limited mint has concluded, so new players pick one up on the in-game Marketplace or TradePort. Only staked Heroes can play — everything a Hero earns (levels, items) stays with your account. The Heroes documentation covers every system in depth.

Classes and stats

There are five classes, each rolled with a 20% chance at awakening: Knight (main stat Vitality), Mage (Intelligence), Rogue (Strength), Archer (Dexterity) and Druid (Intelligence). Six stats drive combat: Vitality (Hit Points), Strength (Physical Damage), Intelligence (Magical Damage), Agility (Evasion), Dexterity (Crit Damage) and Luck (Crit Chance) — the formulas are in Stats. Each level up adds +2 to the class's main stat, +1 to each secondary stat and 3 freely distributable points.

Leveling and Stamina

Experience comes from successful adventures; when the bar fills, complete the level up at a City or the Temple of Axomamma (higher levels also require materials such as Lesser Essence of Axoma). Heroes start at Level 1 and cap at Level 20. Stamina fuels all activity: the pool starts at 12 points and grows by 2 per level, fights cost up to 3 Stamina, and the pool refills over 24 hours — but not while the Hero is on patrol or locked into an assignment. See Progression.

Skill Gems and equipment

Without Skill Gems a Hero only performs Basic Attacks. Active gems charge via triggers — Charge, Pain, Time or Counter — and fire automatically; passive gems grant constant effects. Slots unlock every 5 levels (up to 5 slots, capped by the Hero's rarity tier). Equipment fills a Main Hand, Offhand, Head, Body and up to three Talisman slots, plus Pet and Mount slots; most gear is "Bind on Equip" and can carry sockets for stat Gemstones.

Patrol, Pledging and Ascension

Patrol is passive play: a patrolling Hero generates 0.1 × its level in Influence per day and constantly scouts for Discoveries and rare finds — with a 30-minute window to claim a Discovery once found. Heroes without their own representing Land can be pledged to another player's Land for a Tribal buff. And through Ascension Quests, Heroes climb the rarity ladder from Common all the way to Mythic — one tier at a time, powered by Ascension Tablets restored from Fragments.
