The significance of Captain Ripple
Yesterday — 24th of January marks something special in the Cutie Universe. Last night we have released our latest unique cutie — Captain Ripple.
“How is that a significant release?” — one might ask. Well, Captain Ripple is the last member of the Hero Squad to be released as a unique Cutie and we couldn’t be more proud to close off the first collection series in the Cutie universe with This Fox .
Just look at the ears…*inhuman sound of adoration*
First there was Ethor, then Bitcoin Man and now we have Captain Ripple. Anyone who has been on the internet for 5 minutes can tell who these Cuties were inspired by.
With each and every Cutie of the Hero Squad released, it signified countless hours of work done by the artists to make sure that the cuties pay homage to both the beloved characters of the silver screen and comic books, and add the significance of the top Crypto currencies of 2018. ( By capitalization )
Last year, BTC, XRP and ETH were the 3 leading crpyptocurrencies by capitalization worldwide and what better way we could celebrate that achievement of those projects than to immortalize their input in the industry with specially created cuties that our players can enjoy as a collectible or as a powerful asset in their army! Not to mention they are the pioneers of “Equipped” unique Cuties with specialized sets tailored specifically for them!
These Cuties are a set of sets, the first series of the collectibles and an apex of Artwork, Pop Culture and Crypto fusion in an artwork that you can play with.
Lets look at Ethor for a second here.
This Cutie upon release helped push the itemization of the cuties further, adding 2 more slots for equipment for the cuties. Not to forget, that the set that Ethor wears is only extra powerful on him and only him! If another cutie equips the set, the hammer still will not budge and give it’s power to anyone but Ethor.
Then BitcoinMan was released, with specialized gear as well!
If you haven’t seen our tease video, or you were not with us at the time , check it out!
This cutie also came with gear that will be “Hero” tier, only on the Hero Squad cutie! Its powerful on any other cutie, but oh boy does it kick in to gear when it’s rightful owner is in the driving seat!
With all this in mind — Captain Ripple is the last Hero Squad member and following the tradition, it brings a new system in to the game.
This time the Cutie is sold in a limited supply across all the blockchains that are in the game. There can only be 15 Captains in the Cutie Universe, which Blockchains will have the majority is completely up to the players, so far — ETH is winning in that race, but there’s still time for TRX to catch up and add more heroes to their Blockchain. (at the time of writing there are 7 Captain Ripples in the player’s Hands — 3 on TRX , 4 on ETH ).
There are going to be at least 1 on each Blockchain available this time. So Cutieneers can defend all 3 blockchains with at least 1 Captain.
Let’s dive in a bit more in to what makes The Cap a great cutie.
Captain Ripple comes with these initial bonuses:
- power of 4;
- attack bonus of 3;
- defense bonus of 3;
- raid boss bonus of 5;
- evasion bonus of 4%;
- bonus to loot drop of 30%;
- bonus to experience gained of 30%;
In addition, Cap comes with a full superhero set.
The whole set gives him:
- attack bonus of 10;
- defense bonus of 16;
- luck bonus of 8%.
- raid boss bonus of 1;
From the get go — Cap is a moving fortress in battle! The Shield alone gives 8 Defense! With each and every level Cap gains — He becomes stronger as well…. Just think of how tanky this little fox can get!
While the current state of affairs is very promising and interesting for Captain Ripple, don’t forget that the Cutie Universe is ever-expanding and there will be more than a few uses for these Heroes.
Side note : Unique cuties as it goes hold parts of tribute genomes.
As mentioned before — This is the closer for the Hero Squad and there will be more collection series coming out in the future, but this is the Pioneer collection and it’s heroes! It’s a part of the Cutie Universe beginning.
In the end of 2018, we have unveiled something massive and as time marches on, the BCU is becoming a reality, it’s up to the Cutieneers to become a part of it and write their own history in it.
