How to Play

Morrigan Protocol Battle Dapp (Test Flight)

1. Welcome & Big Picture

Welcome to the Morrigan Protocol Battle Dapp. This is a lore-driven on-chain battle simulation set on a terraformed Mars, backed by Bitcoin and cypherpunk principles. In this world, you don't just play a character—you own a Guardian (Morrigan) whose very DNA is forged from your wallet's history.

This is a Test Flight. That means you are an early pioneer helping us "battle-test" the mechanics, the numbers, and the lore itself. Things might break, balance might shift, but your feedback is building the foundation of Neo-Mars.

TL;DR: Your First Mission

Step 1: Mint your Guardian (it reads your wallet history).
Step 2: Learn your traits, faction, and stats.
Step 3: Claim and equip Ability NFTs.
Step 4: Pick an opponent and battle.

2. Minting is Gameplay

Minting a Guardian isn't just buying a random picture. It is the moment the protocol "reads" your wallet and the chain to generate your Morrigan's unique DNA. Your history on-chain becomes your skin in the game.

What Influences Your Look?

Wallet Era: Early Cronos wallets may spawn battle-scarred OG Morrigans—veterans of the first terraforming years. Newer wallets might mint fresh recruits with sleeker, high-tech gear.
Activity Level: Your transaction history can influence your visual "wear and tear" or specific equipment styles.
Collections: Holding certain OG Cronos NFTs might nudge your Guardian toward specific settlements or aesthetic themes.

Every mint is unique and provably generated from on-chain data. No two Guardians are exactly alike.

What You Get After Minting

Visuals: A unique combination of head, body, cloak, and gear.
Traits & Faction: A set of attributes that determine your playstyle.
Base Stats: Your starting Health, Attack, Defense, Speed, Evasion, Accuracy, and Crit.

4. From Trilemma to Combat Stats

How does philosophy translate to a punch in the face? Here is how the Trilemma feeds into your actual battle stats.

4.1 The Stat Buckets

Security boosts Health, Defense, and raw Attack. (Think: Armored Nodes)
Decentralization boosts Accuracy, Crit Chance, and Evasion. (Think: Hive-mind Strategists)
Scalability boosts Speed and strongly impacts Evasion. (Think: Lightning-fast Rollups)

4.2 What Stats Do in a Fight

Health (HP): Your survival bar. If it hits zero, you're down.
Attack: How hard you hit. Higher attack = bigger numbers.
Defense: Reduces incoming damage. Essential for tanking.
Speed: Determines who acts first.
Accuracy: Reduces your chance to "whiff" (miss) an attack.
Evasion: Your chance to completely dodge an incoming hit.
Crit Chance: The odds of landing a "spike" of massive damage.

Battle Outcome = Base Stats + Equipped Abilities + Opponent Stats + A pinch of RNG.

5. Abilities: Claim, Approve, Equip

Your Guardian is the chassis; Abilities are the weapons and software you load into it. Abilities are separate NFTs that you can claim, trade, and swap between Guardians.

5.1 How to Claim

Connect your wallet.
Go to the Abilities tab (or "Loadout").
Check for available claims. If you're eligible, click [Claim] and confirm the transaction.
The Ability NFT is now in your wallet!

5.2 Why "Approve"?

When you first try to equip an ability, the Dapp will ask you to Approve the battle contract. This is standard safety for web3 gaming:

You remain the owner. The game cannot steal your assets.
Approval simply lets the battle system "read" that you have the item equipped without asking you to sign a transaction for every single fight.

5.3 Equipping Your Loadout

Go to the Loadout screen.
Select your Guardian.
Click an empty Ability Slot.
Choose an Ability from your inventory to slot it in.
Save your loadout. You are now battle-ready.

6. How to Battle (Step-by-Step)

Go to the Battle Page: Ensure your wallet is connected and your Guardian is equipped.
Select Your Guardian: Choose who you want to send into the arena. Check their stats one last time.
Choose an Opponent: Browse the list of challengers. Look at their faction and stats—don't send a glass cannon against a high-accuracy sniper unless you feel lucky.
Review the Match-Up: Compare HP, Speed, and Attack.
Start Battle: Click [Start Battle]. The engine will simulate the fight on-chain (or via oracle), calculating every hit, dodge, and crit.
View Results: Watch the battle log. Did you win? Did you learn a weakness? Collect your rewards (if active) and prepare for the next bout.

Note: Even defenders earn respect. Being challenged helps secure the network, and future updates may reward participation on defense.

7. Tips for Testers

This is v1. We need you to break things (gently).

Experiment: Try a high-speed build. Try a pure tank build. See what feels overpowered.
Report Quirks: If a battle result makes zero sense, or a button doesn't work, let us know.
Have Fun: Read the flavor text. Enjoy the art. You are the first citizens of Neo-Mars.

Your feedback directly shapes how Morrigans will fight, level, and evolve. Live Good. Do Better.
