MetaClan Breeding Tournament
Our inaugural tournament is geared at trying to make players as comfortable with the breeding process as possible.
The judging will utilize a custom display portal (thanks AxieGG!) allowing Guardians to easily view, rank, and vote on their top choices.
Seeing as we’re likely to have a full spectrum of participants from beginning to expert, we wanted to introduce unique tracks geared towards different breeders.
The tournament will span 2 weeks, giving breeders a chance to breed once, hatch their Axies, and breed again some for some serious genetic wizardry.
The first weekend will showcase an interim prize pool featuring a:
Looks Contest
Based solely on aesthetics (and lack thereof). The most beautiful Axies pitted against the grimiest monsters in all of Lunacia!
- One winner for the best looking Axie (oh la la)
- One winner for the ugliest Axie (yikes!)
Key Details:
One submission per player. All submissions must be named.
Prizes:
- 1 MetaClan DAO share (~$25) + 125 LUNA per winner
Following the Looks Contest, the second weekend will feature more advanced breeding prizes for a Meta Contest.
Meta Contest

The Meta Track is based on which Axies will dominate in Seasons 4 & 5. These lean, mean fighting machines are sure to be praised by all who face its wrath on the battlefield!

Epic Fail Contest
Yup, you guessed it. A prize will be rewarded to the Axie which absolutely missed the mark and was dealt with terrible offspring by the forces that be
Key Details:
One submission per player. Submissions must be named with parents being identified.
Prizes:
- 1 STRONG Virgin Axie (to counter the failure of an attempt) + F’s in the chat from our participants.
Now, let’s dive deeper into the Meta Contest.
Meta Breeding Targets
For the current Meta, we recommend that Guardians target the following Parts. For your convenience, we’ve bolded* the part(s), stats and roles players should target for each type of Axie. Please note that the best Axie’s combine multiple of these parts for total havoc.
TLDR: Moves that can be combined + those that earn Energy are likely to be most effective.

Our Judges
No tournament would be complete without the proper judges! We’re teaming up with some of Axie’s top community members to make sure our winners are carefully selected.
- 3xHuman — MetaClan Commander
- Jiho — Co-founder Axie Infinity
- Chief — AxieGG
- Gabby Dizon — Battle Racers
- Anthony Sassano — ETHHub + Set Protocol*
*Anthony will only be participating in the looks contest judging the first weekend :)
How Judging Works
Voting weights for each tournament will be split evenly between the judges and the wider community. This means judges will hold 50% of the voting power while the community holds the remaining 50%.
For the Looks Contest, judges will select three candidates and give the community a chance to pick their favorite. (three for beauty, three for ugly)
For the Meta Contest, judges will select nine candidates and give the community the opportunity to select the top three winners.
For the Epic Fail Contest, judges will select three candidates and have people vote on which was the worst :P
All judging will happen live on Twitch by a secret MetaClan streamer ;)
