To start playing Axie Infinity, you need to buy 3 Axies with Ethereum.

Otherwise, you’ll be able to start the game, but you won’t be able to play the adventure mode or the arena mode.

Typically, you should look to buy Axies that have 0 breeds.

In addition, your team should consist of a tank (plant), utility (beast), and damage (bird).

If you’re a beginner, you should try looking for the cheapest Axie of each type.

Axies are very expensive, so you need to be prepared to spend at least $1,000 or more on the game.

If you don’t have that much money, you can apply for a scholarship to play on behalf of someone who already has 3 axies.

Conclusion

Buying Axies is incredibly expensive—one could go up to thousands of dollars.

The cheapest Axie costs $300, so a full team will cost at least a thousand dollars.

Moreover, not many people have that much money lying around.

So, is investing in Axies worth it?

If you don’t have enough money, you can apply for a scholarship.

A scholarship allows you to play Axie Infinity using someone else’s account.

That way, you don’t have to buy 3 Axies in order to play the game.
