Card Battler set in the Alien Worlds Metaverse launches. Tournament inbound!
Alien Worlds introduced the Galactic Hubs program in 2022 in an effort to fund and support exciting projects that grow the Alien Worlds Metaverse. Restack.AI received the first-ever Pioneer Grant from Galactic Hubs, the largest grant thus far, for the development of the ecosystem’s first free-for-all card battler game.

Battledome is a skill-based card battler. Skill-based factors involve player choices of which NFTs to play (weapon and minion), choice of battle orders, choice of planetary alignment, and which Battledome phase to play in.

Minions
- Minions are NFTs which explorers select to fight with in any battling game in the Alien Worlds Metaverse. Minions have an attack rating, a defense rating, a move modifier that influences when the Minion can enter a contest or the amount of power needed to move or use the Minion.

Introduction to gameplay and tactics
The three major Battledome game tactics are described below, along with some tipson how to apply them.
1. Planetary Alignment
Arrange with your friends or fellow Syndicate members to select the same planetary alignment (e.g. Veles) and you will not attack players with the same planetary alignment until players for all other planets are eliminated in the battle.
2. Battle Orders
Battle orders allow for 4 different choices in the battle. These allow the player to choose from different advantages, either related to avoiding damage (evade and defense) or specific targeting (attack strongest, attack weakest).
- Evade — 20% chance to evade attack entirely
- Defense — reduce damage by 10%
- Attack Strongest — target the highest health opponent
- Attack Weakest — target the lowest health opponent *Note that attack strongest and attack weakest will respect planetary alignment where possible.
3. Battle Phases
A “battle phase” in battledome rotates every 60 minutes. You can view the phase in the right hand panel of the battledome lobby screen, after you have connected with a wallet.
The phases and their rotation order is: AIR > FIRE > GEM > METAL > NATURE. NFT’s with “Element” matching the battledome phase receive a bonus in the game! The current bonus is +5/+5, and players can acquire it both for Minions and Weapons, thereby +10/+10 — if they choose their NFT’s carefully and enter the correct battledome phase.
*Note that battledome phase is applied when the battle starts even if you have connected earlier during a different battledome phase, it’s still the phase when the battle starts that counts for that game.
Where will I see scores?
Leaderboard scores are calculated in the following order:
A. The number of wins
B. The number of kills in winning games
C. The amount of remaining health in winning games
D. Any tie breaks for the unlikely case where A,B,C being equal are are resolved alphabetically a-z (wallet ‘a’ beats wallet ‘b’)
Battle your way to the top of the leaderboard — the winners each month will receive prizes including NFTs, Trilium (TLM) and boosts.
Each game has a winner, who is credited with a win on the Leaderboard — you can also see the planetary alignment of the winning player. Click on the name of a game in the Battle History to see the player placings or to watch a replay.
