Attention!!! With the recent stirrings of Shadowcorns in the Dark Forest, the Eldercorns are calling forth the mightiest Unicorns in the land to come to the defense of the Multiverse. In order to determine which Unicorns are the strongest, the Eldercorns have decided that a Mighty Jousting Arena shall be erected so that Unicorns can prove their strength.

Jousting Tournaments

Once the Jousting Arena is completed, you will be able to enter Unicorns into various Jousting Tournaments. Entering into a Jousting Tournament costs RBW or UNIM, a Jousting Ticket, and energy.

For those Unicorns who prove themselves Champions, rewards of RBW/UNIM, Lootboxes, Invitations to further Jousting Events, and more will be bestowed upon them. For those Unicorns that aren’t up to snuff, there is always the farm life to keep them happy!

More details about Jousting Tournaments and how they work will come closer to the release of Jousting, but until then, feel free to watch the Jousting Trailer over and over like we have been:

What makes a Unicorn a Champion?

While carefully choosing Stances and Potions to use before entering a Unicorn into a Jousting Match, a Unicorn’s Scores can make all the difference in a Jousting Match. There are 4 Scores: Power, Speed, Endurance, and Intelligence. Scores are derived from a Unicorn’s Stats:

​​

Power, Speed, Endurance, and Intelligence Scores affect a Unicorn’s Jousting prowess in the following ways:

  • High Power Unicorns accelerate faster, hit more accurately, and hit harder when they do land a hit.
  • High Speed Unicorns are better at avoiding hits, and when they do hit, it’s harder due to their higher velocity.
  • High Endurance Unicorns are better at avoiding incoming hits, resisting impacts that do land, and recovering from Knockdowns if they ever take a tumble!
  • High Intelligence Unicorns are able to calculate the proper approach angle, horn trajectory, and land hits more accurately.

Note: As Unicorn breeding continues, Scores, in general, will gradually increase, and these ranges with them.

The maximum value of any score is 2000. The road to 2000 will be long, but we are excited to see all the Champion Unicorns along the way!

To create Unicorns that are strong enough to be competitive in Jousting Tournaments and fight the Shadowcorns in the future, you must breed your strongest Unicorns and use plenty of high-tier Hatching and Evolution Boosters. Expect a Blog Post explaining Genes, Breeding, and Evolution more thoroughly soon as well!

Bounties for the Best

The Unicorn Elders are so excited to find the best of the best that they have put out Bounties for Players who can create Unicorns with astounding stats. In addition, while the birth of the first Quad Mythic to Sir sfxfox has been widely celebrated across the Multiverse, the Unicorn Elders believe that an Epic (5-Part) and Legendary (6-Part) Mythic Unicorns will be needed to repel the Shadowcorns in the Wars to come. Bounties for these two achievements have been put out as well.

The Current Highest Amount for each Stat (according to OpenSea as of 10/12/2022) is the following:
Attack: 425

Defense: 326

Vitality: 385

Accuracy: 316

Magic: 448

Resistance: 347

Attack Speed: 356

Move Speed: 380

The first Players to reach these accomplishments will earn World First Badges as well as sizeable rewards:

These bounties will continue until at least the launch of Jousting.

Witness history in the making at the World First channel in our Discord community (discord.gg/cryptounicorns). This channel will show the daily top stat Unicorns so that everyone can track the race to each Bounty! Team up with other community members in our upcoming Discord event to receive bonus rewards! Which team will claim the most Bounties?

Want to take the throne for yourself? Get breeding, Uni-fam!

Besides the Bounty RBW Rewards Players get when they achieve a Bounty, the Player will also get World First Badges.

World First Badges are unique in that the Player who achieves the Bounty will have their Unicorn Profile printed on the Badge. For a period of time afterward, all Player Wallets who get Unicorns to the 500 Stat or higher will get the 500-Club Badge for that Stat, which will feature the Unicorn Profile of the Unicorn that cleared the Bounty.

We know that you all will rise to the occasion, and we can’t wait to see some spectacular matches in the Grand Jousting Arena. The fate of the Multiverse is in your hands, Uni Fam!
