# Introduction
Xerians is an NFT-based play-to-earn card game on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) Blockchain Network. Mechs (named Xerians) are carefully hand-drawn and crafted within all aspects. The collection of 11.111 Xerians is created in the mindset of prioritizing high-quality work.
Each Xerian consists of 9 different layers, including 5 body parts, 1 card and 3 boosters. Each body part stands for a different skill (ex. Head for Intelligence). During the minting process of a Xerian NFT, all layers will be generated randomly. Each Xerian will belong to a race according to their body parts.
Members of Xerian Universe are called “Xerns”.
Xerians are 3 different characters: Chieftains, Unique Xerians and Xerian Soldiers. There are 5 rarities according to card and skill scores: Heroic, Super Rare, Rare, Epic, Common. Chieftains belong to Heroic rarity and are the most powerful characters. Unique Xerians are Super Rare and second most powerful ones. Xerian Soldiers are divided into 3 rarities of Rare, Epic, Common.
To start their adventures in 1v1 or 3v3 matches, Xerns need to purchase a battle ticket. These matches take place in battle arenas called “Xerenas”. Each Xerena is unique and boosts one of the 5 skills with a particular multiplier (for example in a Xerena, 1.2x intelligence score). Xerns are able to choose the price of a Xerena ticket but they are not able to choose which particular Xerena they’ll play in.
A match starts when all slots are filled. The order of players is randomly allocated; one team hits first, then the other team hits. This goes on turn by turn until a team loses all of their skills scores. Both sides’ hits are based on a randomly chosen skill.
For example:
**1st turn:** Team 1 hits with its intelligence to Team 2’s power
**2nd turn:** Team 2 hits with its strength to Team 1’s speed
A team’s total scores of each skill are determined by individual Xerians’ layers (body parts, boosters, card), multipliers of races, and Xerenas’ multipliers. At the end of the match, the winner(s) increase their Xerians’ skill scores and get a percentage of the match’s total prize pool (sum of the ticket prices). The losing team’s Xerians’ skill scores are deducted.
In order to improve their winning chances, Xerians’ scores could be upgraded to reach higher values since all layers are replaceable with higher scoring parts (except Chieftains and Unique Xerians).
Xerns can purchase or sell layers via the in-game store using $XRNS (the utility token of Xerians Universe). Xerns can also buy and sell Xerenas to have an additional income.
Xerns have multiple revenue streams in Xerians:
1. Winning matches
2. Renting out or selling Xerenas
3. Selling Xerians NFTs
4. Selling body parts and boosters
5. Staking $XRNS
# Minting
There are 4 phases of minting. Each Xern so each wallet can mint maximum 10 NFTs per phase.
| Phases | NFTs To Be Issued | Whitelist Limit | Date |
| ------ | ----------------- | --------------- | --------------- |
| 1 | 1000 NFTs | 100 | 27.09.22 |
| 2 | 2000 NFTs | 200 | To be announced |
| 3 | 3000 NFTs | 300 | To be announced |
| 4 | 4000 NFTs | 400 | To be announced |
Whitelisted users get priority access to buy and mint NFTs. To get whitelisted, the buyers must join [Xerians Discord Server ](https://discord.gg/RJHppHD7yB)and follow the specific instructions announced per each phase.
Whitelisting presale process begins 4 hours before the public sale. Limited number of whitelisted users enjoy benefit of minting priority.
Minting price is only 0.35 BNB + gas fee.
Minted NFTs come in a mystery box. Xerns buy and mint the mystery box without knowing the rarity and the character in it.
This table shows the number of cards to be minted per phase.
A Xern may claim the mystery box to make the unique NFT card reveal or prefer to keep the NFT hidden in mystery box as long as s/he wants. Mystery boxes have also the option to be sold in marketplaces to interested buyers.
# NFT Holders’ Rewards
After every minting phase (total of 4) NFTs of known projects are drawn for Xerns. There will be 470 NFTs to be drawn which are app. 250.000$ in total value
Snapshot will be taken 7 days after each phase is sold out. NFT holders will be eligible for the draw (holding the NFTs as mystery box excludes holder from participating), Xerians reward draw will take place on livestream
The ticket quantity for each NFT differs according to the rarity of Xerians Card
# How To Win
The number of tickets depends on the type and rarity of each NFT card ,
| TYPE & RARITY | NUMBER OF TICKETS |
| -------------------------- | ----------------- |
| Chieftain - Heroic | 5 |
| Unique Xerian - Super Rare | 4 |
| Xerian Soldiers - Rare | 3 |
| Xerian Soldiers - Epic | 2 |
| Xerian Soldiers - Common | 1 |
NFTs are eligible to have tickets only after being opened.
For instance, a Xern has bought and minted 3 mystery boxes and opened 2 of them. One is chieftain (that has Heroic rarity for sure) and one Xerian soldier (with epic rarity). In Xerians' NFT Draw :
| MYSTERY BOXES | NFT INSIDE | NUMBER OF TICKETS WON |
| ------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------- |
| 1st | Chieftain (Super Rare) | 5 |
| 2nd | Xerian soldier (Epic) | 2 |
| 3rd | Not opened | 0 |
Each NFT is eligible to win tickets of the NFT Draw of its own phase. If the mystery box is not opened yet in 7 days after sold out, it cannot join either the NFT Draw of its own phase or any NFT Draws of following Minting Phases.
NFT Rewards will be dropped to crypto wallets of Xerns in 15 days after the NFT Draw .

# Game Mechanics
Xerns can play in matches with their Xerians. The chance of winning will be increased as the total skill score of a Xerian increases. The total skill score of each Xerian depends on the character type, layers, races, Xerenas and the match history.
All Xerians have 9 layers: 5 body parts, 1 card and 3 boosters. Each body part stands for a different skill (Head for Intelligence, Body for Strength, Arms for Power, Legs for Speed and Backpack for Strategy). Cards and boosters multiply particular skills according to their type.
In Xerian Universe, there are 3 character types. They will be generated randomly and categorized according to their card and skill scores. Chieftains are the strongest. Unique Xerians follow them by being the second strongest; and Xerian Soldiers have the lowest rarity scores. Chieftains and Unique Xerians won’t be separated into layers; Xerian Soldiers will have separated body parts that are replaceable and upgradeable.
In addition to layers, there are also Races that boost the skill scores for Unique Xerians and Xerian Soldiers in Xerian Universe as each Unique Xerian represents a Race. Body parts of Xerians belong to different Races. The Race belonging to the majority of the body parts determines a Xerians’ Race. In a case where there isn’t a majority Race, the Head’s race determines the Race.
1v1 or 3v3 matches take place on Xerenas (Xerenas also have multipliers for each skill score of a Xerian). Xerns are only allowed to play in their own skill score ranged rooms. To provide a fair game, Xerns can’t see Xerenas’ multipliers or potential team members; they only see the ticket prices.
A match starts when all slots are filled. The order of players is randomly allocated; the competing skills are chosen randomly. In 3v3 matches, the total score of a team is equal to the sum of each player’s skill scores.
The team’s total scores of each skill are determined by individual Xerians’ layers (body parts, a booster, and a card color), multipliers of races, and Xerenas’ multipliers. At the end of the match, the winner(s) increase their Xerians’ skill scores and get a percentage of the match’s total prize pool (sum of the ticket prices). The losing team’s Xerians’ skill scores are deducted.
# Xerian Types & Rarity
In Xerian Universe these are the 3 characters categorized according to their card and skill scores.
1. Chieftains
2. Unique Xerians
3. Xerian Soldiers
# Chieftains (111 Heroic NFTs)
Chieftains are ready to fight for their divine futures! With only 111 Heroic NFTs, Chieftains are the most powerful characters with the highest scores at the initial minting. They can’t be separated into layers. When they are minted, they come with a Black Unique Card and a randomized booster (1 of 3 booster slots).
# Unique Xerians (240 Super Rare NFTs)
Unique Xerians are the leaders of their race. With 240 Super Rare NFTs, they are the 2nd most powerful characters with the highest scores at the initial minting. They can’t be separated into layers. When they are minted, they randomly come with Diamond Card and 1 of 25 different boosters (1 of 3 booster slots) in minting.
# Xerian Soldiers (Rare/Epic/Gold)
Xerian Soldiers are ready to do whatever it takes to win their fights. They are separated into 9 layers (5 body parts, 1 card color and 3 boosters). Cards will be Gold, Ruby or Emerald. During the minting; the layers, the cards and the boosters will be generated randomly.
They have 3 types of rarity scores according to the leaderboard between Xerian Soldiers according to their total skill score:
* Rare \[x1760] – with Emerald card
* Epic \[x3500] – with Ruby card
* Common \[x5500] – with Gold card
# Body Parts & Skills
All Xerians have 5 body parts. Each stands for one particular skill.
# Cards & Rarity
Xerians’ Cards will be determined according to the type of Xerians and overall skill scores. Chieftains come with Black and Unique Xerians come with Diamond cards. Xerians Soldiers’ cards depend on the skill score leaderboard: the highest 1760 total skill-scored cards will have Emerald; following 3500 will have Ruby and next 5500 will have Gold. Therefore the rarity of Chieftains and Unique Xerians are fixed but Xerian Soldiers depend on the leaderboard.
# Boosters
All Xerians can maximum have 3 boosters in addition to 5 body parts and 1 card. Each booster upgrades one skill score of a particular body part.
# Races & Skills
There are 10 unique races in Xerians Universe. Each Unique Xerian represents a different race. Each race boosts a particular skill. For Xerian Soldiers, each body part can have a different or the same race. A Xerians’ race is determined by the race that has the higher number of body parts. In the case of equal number of body parts (1-1-1-1-1 and 2-2-1), the race will be determined according to Head’s race.
The races in Gen 1 are listed below:
| | |
| -- | ----------- |
| 1 | Xaquarian |
| 2 | Xamberian |
| 3 | Xionian |
| 4 | Xopazrian |
| 5 | Xyanirian |
| 6 | Xapphirian |
| 7 | Xemeraldian |
| 8 | Xamorian |
| 9 | Xavaxian |
| 10 | Xalesarian |
**Example 1**: NFT Card No 5687
| | |
| -------------- | ----------- |
| **BODY PARTS** | **RACE** |
| HEAD | XIONIAN |
| ARMS | XEMERALDIAN |
| LEGS | XAMORIAN |
| BODY | XALESARIAN |
| BACKPACK | XALESARIAN |
The majority of parts belong to XALESARIAN, so No:5687 belongs to the RACE of XALESARIAN.
If there is no majority between races, the race is determined according to Head’s race.
**Example 2:** NFT Card No 5699
| | |
| -------------- | --------- |
| **BODY PARTS** | **RACE** |
| HEAD | XYANIRIAN |
| ARMS | XAQUARIAN |
| LEGS | XOPAZRIAN |
| BODY | XOPAZRIAN |
| BACKPACK | XAQUARIAN |
In this case, 2 parts are of Xaquarian race, the other 2 come from Xopazrian race. Since there is no majority of one singular race, Head race is taken in consideration. No:5699 belongs to the RACE of XYANIRIAN.
# Xerenas (Arenas)
Xerena is an ERC-721 NFT that acts as a battle arena. Xerns can buy Xerenas and rent them out to gain passive income from each match that takes place on their rented out Xerenas. Each Xerena boosts skills in different ways. Xerenas’ multipliers of each skill is defined by the system and it affects the overall score of a team. Xern can see which Xerena boosts which skill while purchasing one.
Example:
For Xerena 1, Rank of skills: STA-STR-INT-POW-SPD
\*In this example Intelligence (INT) hits Speed (SPD) with the multiplier of 1.1
| | |
| ------------------ | -------------- |
| **SKILLS** | **MULTIPLIER** |
| INTELLIGENCE (INT) | 1.1 |
| STRENGTH (STR) | 1.2 |
| POWER (POW) | 0.9 |
| SPEED (SPD) | 0.8 |
| STRATEGY (STA) | 1.3 |
# Match Algorithm
The total score is the multiplier-applied skill scores of Xerians: the total score comes from the body parts and boosters will be multiplied according to Xerena, card type and race.
A match starts when all slots are filled. The order of players is randomly allocated; one team hits first, then the other team hits. This goes turn by turn until a team loses all of their skills scores. Both sides’ hits are based on a randomly chosen skill.
Example Flow:
In summary, the skill score of the team that makes the hit stays the same , the other team loses as many points as the score of the hitter.
When it is the turn of Team 2, the same mechanism works in the game. The team that loses the skill points loses the match.
The winning team members share the loot by its own rank based on card power. In addition, the winning team's layer scores are increased by 0,1 % and on contrary the same ratio of points is deducted from the losing team’s layer scores.
# Investor Market
Investor Market is the perfect solution of 2 potential problems:
1. Xerns who don’t have a Xerian but want to play the game
2. Xerns who have a Xerian but don’t want to spend $XRNS to play
Investor Market brings these 2 types of Xerns together. Type 2 can put their cards to Investor Market to receive offers from Investors (Type 1) to rent out their Xerians. They shape their agreement together.
The agreement parameters:
1. Investment amount (the price that Investor provides)
2. Number of matches
3. Revenue distribution
**Example:**
Xern K has a Heroic Card and would like to play in a high rated Xerena. Since the price is high, Xern K needs an Investor to play and puts forth an offer. Investor L wants to join matches without purchasing a Xerian. They agree on Xern K’s price offer to play together for 6 matches and share the revenue %70 to %30.
\*To become an Investor, Xern must purchase an Investor Card from the in-game store
# Earning Mechanisms & P2E
Xerns have multiple revenue streams in Xerians:
1. Matches: The winner(s) get the %84 of the total prize pool (sum the tickets).
2. Xerenas: Passive income by renting out or selling.
3. NFTs: Selling strengthened Xerians Body Parts & Boosters: Selling separately.
4. $XRNS: Staking $XRNS
5. Community Rewards: %14 of each prize pool, NFT Holders' Rewards.
# Play to Earn
For both 1v1 and 3v3 matches, the winning team or individual gets %84 of the game revenue (sum of the battle tickets). If the match is 3v3, 3 members of the winning team share the revenue according to the Xerian card score of each one: higher scored one earns %40, second higher one earns %34 and third higher one earns %26
Example:
Xerns pay 500 $XRNS as the ticket price to join a 3v3 battle.
500 $XRNS \* 6 (total participants of match) = 3000 $XRNS (total revenue of battle)
3000 $XRNS \* %84 = 2520 $XRNS (The winning team shares)
The Highest Scored Player: 2520 $XRNS \* %40 = 1008 $XRNS
2nd Highest Scored Player: 2520 $XRNS \* %34 = 856.8 $XRNS
3rd Highest Scored Player: 2520 $XRNS \* %26 = 655.2 $XRNS
