1. Overview
Lunite Legends is a turn-based, card-driven creature battler. Players collect Lunites — moon-born creatures across five classes — build a team of three, and battle through an Adventure campaign and real-time ranked PvP.
The game is free to play. The on-chain layer (the $LUNITE token, and later NFTs) is an optional layer for invested players — never a paywall. Anyone can start with free starter Lunites.
2. Gameplay
Battles are fought by queueing ability cards that cost energy, then resolving them in speed order — the fastest Lunite acts first. Positioning (front / mid / back) and a rock-paper-scissors class-advantage wheel reward smart team-building.
Class wheel
Plant › Aquatic › Beast › Bird › Bug › Plant. Hitting an enemy with the class it's weak to deals bonus damage.
Modes & progression
- Adventure: escalating stages with unique boss mechanics — Regenerate, Enrage, and Lifesteal.
- Ranked PvP Arena: real-time lockstep battles, a rank ladder, and a global leaderboard.
- Progression: upgrade Lunites with coins, daily rewards, quests, cosmetics, and a profile hub.
3. The $LUNITE Token
$LUNITE is a fixed-supply SPL token on Solana — utility-first, with no inflationary faucet. Its primary role is hold-to-play: holding $LUNITE unlocks higher ranked Arena tiers, creating real demand without taxing every match.
- Hold to access ranked tiers (Bronze → Diamond).
- Sinks: staked-tournament entries and (later) NFT breeding costs that burn tokens.
- No coins-to-token conversion — soft currency stays in-game, hard currency stays scarce.
4. Earning & Economy
Two currencies keep the economy healthy: soft Coins (earned by playing; spent on upgrades & cosmetics — a closed loop) and the hard $LUNITE token (bought, held, and won through competition).
Real-token earning is funded by competition, not an unsustainable treasury faucet:
- Seasonal prize pools distributed to top-ranked players.
- Staked matches / tournaments — players ante in, the winner takes the pot.
- Payouts are server-verified and escrowed — never decided by a player's client.
5. Lunite NFTs Phase 3
Lunites will become tradable NFTs with on-chain traits and rarity — own, collect, and trade them on Solana marketplaces.
NFTs grant utility (collection value, staking, scholarships/rentals), while free starter Lunites remain so new players are never gated behind a purchase.
6. Breeding Phase 4
Two Lunite NFTs can be bred into a unique offspring that inherits genes from both parents. Breeding is a deliberate token sink, not a money printer:
- Costs (and partially burns) $LUNITE per breed.
- Capped breed counts + escalating cost so the supply of Lunites stays scarce.
- Designed to avoid the oversupply that broke earlier breed-to-earn games.
7. Fair Play & Security
Ranked results that affect rewards are server-authoritative, and any real-token wagering is protected by escrow with a verified winner — so the game cannot be cheated to drain funds. On-chain features are tested on devnet before touching mainnet.
8. Roadmap
- Phase 1 — The Game: live and playable (Adventure, ranked PvP, leaderboard, PWA).
- Phase 2 — Token Economy: hold-to-play, seasonal pools, staked play.
- Phase 3 — Lunite NFTs: tradable, ownable creatures.
- Phase 4 — Breeding: gene inheritance with scarce supply.
- Phase 5 — Beyond: guilds, scholarships, esports, new modes.
