Snow King Contest (Team)
Trading rankings (brush trading volume)
[Ladder Battle] (equivalent to rank ranking)
1. In each PVP battle, the winner will get CAC tokens and treasure chest points. The higher the rank, the more rewards you can get.
2. At the end of each season, the top ten in different ranks will receive a large amount of CAC rewards. The higher the rank, the higher the reward.
3. By accumulating treasure chest points, you can get a rank treasure chest. The treasure chest can open NFT cards from the season card pool, and there is a small chance that you can get Ahoy blind box.

During the test period, all players who trade in the market are eligible to participate in the trading rankings, and rewards will be given based on the total transaction amount.
🔸Tips for gold mining
To improve your rank, you need to increase your ladder points and glory points at the same time.
Ladder points can be obtained by winning battles, and the more consecutive games you win, the more ladder points you get will continue to increase. Clever use of "Win Streak Clover" can make your ladder points grow faster.
Glory points can be obtained through expansion cards. There are two ways to obtain cards: opening blind boxes and purchasing them in the trading market. If you are eager to increase your glory points, going to the trading market to buy cost-effective cards would be a good way.
Points: Higher points will bring exponential income, try to keep yourself above 700 points
Winning streak: Maintain the winning streak and get up to an additional 10% increase in income (if the winning streak is interrupted, you can use the winning streak four-leaf clover to maintain the winning streak)
Each gold card in the team brings an additional 10% income increase
If there are trial cards among the cards participating in the battle, the reward income will be reduced proportionally, by 20% for each card.
Make reasonable use of position swaps to increase your winning rate, especially using poison to poison the opponent's main C, which can turn defeat into victory.
Advanced cards can be synthesized by consuming a certain number of identical cards. Unplayed cards can be destroyed and exchanged for CAC.

📅Updated on January 20th Cards Ahoy latest game review and gold earning calculation
💰Investment for a single game account: 100u~5000u (increases depending on the type and quality of the cards)
Game features: Simple and easy to play, a single game is very short (2-3 minutes per game), and there are many lineups that can be combined. It focuses on strategy and is very playable.
⏳ Game internal testing time: 2024/1/15-2024/1/29 (a total of 15 days of internal testing, 9 days left)
🔸Gold earning points
🔸Game victory interface and daily treasure chest unboxing interface
🔸Payback cycle
The current token is a test token. Although the pool is open, the pool is small and the currency price is very low. Moreover, the internal testing period is short, and relying on tokens will not make the money back.
The main income comes from the NFT cards obtained after opening the daily treasure box. The probability of drawing a card is small, and the value of each type of card is different. The testing phase is more about experiencing the game, and the payback cycle is more about luck.
【The current situation】:
An account is recharged with 100u, and the daily token income is about: 3u. (Today a zombie card was released from the treasure chest, the floor price is: 50u)
【Strategy】:
I have 5 accounts in hand, and each account has a recharge of 100u, totaling 500u. Each account is matched with the lineup of different camps to test and win gold (mainly to obtain good cards and prepare for the open beta)
[Participation logic]:
1. The number of each type of NFT cards is limited. This test period will be deleted but the NFT will be retained. Early participation has the probability of getting the best cards.
2. The team has a good background and the project is progressing very quickly. It is expected to be launched into public beta in March. The project is relatively reliable.
3. The game is highly playable, simple and easy to use, and easy to spread out of the circle.
4. Obtain advanced cards early and get a head start after the public beta, and your income can be much ahead.
