How do you withdraw profits to real money?

Even with the Free Heroes, you are able to compete and earn your own Thetan Coins and trade them for whatever currency you desire (crypto or fiat). So yes, you can trade the game tokens for dollars, euros, and so on.

Pros and Cons of buying an NFT hero to play with

Once you start playing Thetan Arena, you’re presented to 3 free heroes. However, they are the game’s free characters and yo do not really own them. Meaning that if you want to trade them on the Thetan Arena Marketplace, you simply cannot.

You can invest in the game and buy your Premium Heroes and the Skins so that you increase your odds at the game. However, as the game itself announces, it’s a Skill To Win, and not a Pay To Win. Check out the pros and cons of investing in NFTs on Thetan Arena.

Pros

As this is a Free2Play and Play2Earn, on Thetan Arena, gamers playing with better characters have a better chance of winning and profiting. So if you decide to buy an NFT hero to play with on Thetan Arena, you’ll probably get better results at your games.

If you want to profit from the game and face Thetan Arena professionally, for example, then it can be worth investing, but the only person who can advise you on this is yourself — or a financial adviser, which is not our case.

Cons

NFTs are still very high-risk investments and you can absolutely lose the entire money. Remember this when you lose a battle and start wondering if you shouldn’t invest just a little bit to get some better odds. It will not likely be worth paying for. You can simply have fun and don’t commit to the game like that — no one is forcing you. Don’t submit to FOMO.

After all, is Thetan Arena worth playing?

If you are a fan of mobile battle royale and MOBA games and want to know a little more about the world of NFTs, Thetan Arena may be the most suitable game to start.

In addition to providing players with quality gameplay previously unheard of in Web3 games, you don’t necessarily have to pay for an NFT to play. You can have a taste of the game for free and at ease.
