CRYPTOBLADES.IO | RECRUIT CHARACTERS, FORGE WEAPONS, ENTER BATTLE, EARN SKILLP a g e |3PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER
The intention of this paper is not to be a deep technical dive, but rather an overview of the existing gameplay and a visionof the future CryptoBlades. This includes gameplay details, information on NFTs, the games economy, specificallytokenonics, and how the Binance Smart Chain can enhance and provide a rewarding experience to the end user. This isa living document and the team holds all rights to make adjustment as seen fit.

REQUIREMENTS TO PLAY
CryptoBlades is a web-based game application. The user will need to have access to the internet to play the game. All
gameplay happens on https://app.cryptoblades.io/.
CryptoBlades’ contracts are deployed on the Binance Smart Chain. The player will need to have a nominal amount of
BNB cryptocurrency to pay for transactional gas fees. They will need to have a wallet (i.e. Metamask) which can store theBNB cryptocurrency and which can also store the SKILL token. The player will need to setup their Metamask wallet to theBinance Smart Chain network1. They will need to secure, at a minimum, 4.6 SKILL token to start the game. The SKILLtoken can be swapped on ApeSwap, pairing with BNB2.

GAMEPLAY
ELEMENTS
There are four different elements present in the game:••••

Navigate to dex.apeswap, click "Connect" in the upper right hand corner to link your wallet.

Look for "Select a currency" and paste 0x154a9f9cbd3449ad22fdae23044319d6ef2a1fab to bring up the SKILL token. Be
sure to hit "(Add)" before selecting the token
so in the future you
only needto type SKILL
insteadof the contract

BATTLE, EARN SKILLP a g e |4All characters, weapons, weapon attributes, and enemies are assigned an element. Elements increase or decrease thechances of success when battling. Each element trumps and is trumped by another element, as follows:••••Fireoo

Trumps Earth
Trumped by Wateroo
LightningooWateroo

Trumps Lightning
Trumped by FireEarthTrumps Water
Trumped by Earth
Trumps Fire
Trumped by Lightning

CHARACTERS
The player starts in the Plaza, which is where they can mint their first character (4.6 SKILL). The element of the characteris assigned at random. The first character minted comes with a starting weapon, so there is not a need to mint a weapon
before entering combat. Each minted character starts with 200 stamina which is enough to compete in five battles. Thebattles each cost the character 40 stamina. Stamina regenerates at a rate of one per every five minutes. A player canhave up to four characters at any given time. Each character minted currently cost 4.6 SKILL to mint.
The player chooses the character they want to enter combat with on the Plaza screen. They then can enter the combat
section of the game and four enemies appear at the bottom of the screen after a weapon is selected. It is advantageous
for the player to align the element of their character with their weapon and choose an enemy that is trumped by thiselement. The player should also consider the power of the enemies before deciding which one to fight. The gamerefreshes the available enemies each hour – there may be times it is in the best interest to wait for a refresh to increase
the chances of winning.
The player will spend a nominal BNB gas fee to enter combat against a chosen enemy. The game then rolls for theoutcome of combat and writes the results to the blockchain. The player is awarded in SKILL and character experience if
the outcome of the fight is in their favor. There is nothing awarded to the player if the outcome is a loss.
Experience is gained when a player defeats an enemy in combat. Experience is used to level up a character, which in turnincreases the character’s overall power. Total character level is currently capped at 255, and the current experience
required per level can be found in appendix A. Experience is accumulated until the player decides to claim it. The processof claiming experience writes to the blockchain so there is a nominal BNB gas fee charged upon each claim. The
experience is automatically applied to the related character after the claim transaction has been approved.

CRYPTOBLADES.IO | RECRUIT CHARACTERS, FORGE WEAPONS, ENTER BATTLE, EARN SKILLP a g e |5WEAPONS
There are five tiers of weapons obtainable in CryptoBlades. The tiers are rated from one star up to five stars. The player
receives a one-star weapon which is minted when their first character is minted. Weapons, like characters, will be minted
with one of the four elements (fire, earth, lightning, fire).
FORGING
Players can increase their overall combat power by forging new weapons at the Blacksmith. The forging process utilizes
RNG and the chances of minting each tier of weapons are as follows:•••••

One-star, 44% chanceTwo-star, 35% chance
Three-star, 15% chanceFour-star, 5% chanceFive-star, 1% chanceOne-star weapons are assigned an element and an element or power attribute. The attribute stat will be randomly
minted between 4 and 200, with an average of 102 (25.5% extra power at 102, with a minimum of 1% and maximum of50%).
Two-star weapons are assigned an element and an element or power attribute. The attribute stat will be randomly
minted between 180 and 300, with an average of 240 (60% extra power at 240, with a minimum of 45% and maximumof 75%).
Three-star weapons are assigned an element and an element or power attribute. The attribute stat will be randomly
minted between 280 and 400, with an average of 340 (85% extra power at 340, with a minimum of 70% and maximumof 100%).
Four-star weapons are assigned an element and two element or power attributes. The attribute stats will be randomly
minted between 200 and 400, with an average of 300 each, or in other words 600 total (150% extra power at 600, witha minimum of 100% and maximum of 200%).
Five-star weapons are assigned an element and three element or power attributes. The attribute stats will be randomly
minted between 268 and 400, with an average of 334 each, or in other words 1002 total (250.5% extra power at 1002,
with a minimum of 201% and maximum of 300%).
“It has absolutely been considered and even discussed today. 5* swords will always be motha f*ckin 5* swords. Nothing
will ever eclipse the almighty 5* in power no matter how many stars it has.” – Phillip Devine, Owner, Riveted Games onJune 16th, 2021.

REFORGING
Reforging is the process of combining one weapon into another. Reforging will not increase the tier of the weapon, norwill it change the weapon’s attributes or attributes’ stats.
Reforging lets the player upgrade their better weapons by burning less-valuable weapons. Reforging, like forging, takes
place at the Blacksmith. The player chooses the weapon they want to add power to and then clicks the Reforge button.
They can then select the weapon they wish to burn. NOTE: this destroys the weapon being burned. There are three statsthat can be added to a weapon by utilizing reforging, dependent on the tier of the burned weapon. They are as follows:•••

LB – the LB stat is added to a weapon when a one through three-star weapon is burned to combine into theweapon being reforged. Each weapon can have a total of 100 LB points added. Each one- and two-star weaponburned adds one point of LB, while a three-star weapon burned adds two points of LB. One LB adds 15 points ofpower to the weapon, for a total of 1500 points of power when the weapon is maxed at 100/100 LB.
4LB – the 4LB stat is added to a weapon when a four-star weapon is burned to combine into the weapon beingreforged. Each weapon can have a total of 25 4LB points added. Each four-star weapon burned adds one pointof 4LB. One 4LB adds 30 points of power to the weapon, for a total of 750 points of power when the weapon ismaxed at 25/25 4LB.
5LB – the 5LB stat is added to a weapon when a five-star weapon is burned to combine into the weapon beingreforged. Each weapon can have a total of 10 5LB points added. Each five-star weapon burned adds one pointof 5LB. One 5LB adds 60 points of power to the weapon, for a total of 600 points of power when the weapon ismaxed at 10/10 5LB.

The weapon will display the total LB, 4LB, and 5LB it has, along with a sum of the total power added from reforging, which
is displayed at ‘Bonus power’. The total bonus power attainable through reforging is 2850.
COMBATCombat is where the action takes place! The player first selects the character they want to enter in combat within thePlaza. They then select to enter Combat where they will choose their weapon. Once the weapon has been chosen, four
enemy combatants will appear. The player can then select the combatant that they want their character to face off
against. There are several things that the player should consider before choosing their opponent:••••

The attribute type of the character entering combat,The attribute type of the weapon selected,
The attribute type of the opponent, andThe power of the opponent.

These four things have a chance to impact the outcome of each fight. When the player chooses an enemy to attack, they
get a +7.5% modifier if the character and weapon primary attributes match. They receive a 7.5% modifier when attacking
an enemy has the element that is weak against their player’s character. These modifiers stack which always the player
to add a +15% boost to their character if the right equipment and enemy are chosen.
Do keep in mind that the opposite is true as well. If the player chooses an opponent that has the attribute that trumps
their character’s attribute, there is a -7.5% modifier applied to the fight.

CRYPTOBLADES.IO | RECRUIT CHARACTERS, FORGE WEAPONS, ENTER BATTLE, EARN SKILLP a g e |7REWARDS
The player receives two types of rewards when they successfully defeat an opponent, SKILL and character experience.
The SKILL reward is dependent on the power of the enemy defeated. At the time of the writing of this whitepaper, theformula is 0.111627 (awarded as a gas offset) + .014651 per 1000 power of the enemy defeated. Experience earned is
assigned to the character that won the battle.
The SKILL and experience earned are stored until the player initiates a transaction to move the SKILL to their wallet andto apply the experience to their characters. This feature has been added to reduce the amount of gas the player requires
to play the game.
Note: when forging, the game will draw the SKILL from the player’s storage SKILL before drawing SKILL from their wallet.

MARKET
CryptoBlades is first and foremost a blockchain game – which means that the players own their minted NFTs (charactersand weapons). The right to sell and trade is wholly owned by the player. CryptoBlades implemented a market to makethis process trustless. The player can search characters and weapons that have been listed by other players, as well aslist their own characters and weapons. There is a small buyer fee added to each transaction.

TOKENOMICSSKILL serves as the native game currency for CryptoBlades. Players leverage SKILL to acquire characters, forge and reforge
weapons, and to buy and sell on the CryptoBlades Marketplace.
The supply of SKILL is designated as follows:•••••

IDO – 35%
Gameplay Incentives – 20%Development – 20%
Initial Liquidity – 15%
Liquidity Incentives – 10%

The development fund vests at a rate of 25% per quarter. The Investor fund vests at a rate of 25% per month.
