# NFT Gameplay

**NFT Gameplay** is the core progression experience inside **Clash of Galaxy**, built around time-based strategy, idle battles, and evolving your Genesis Pals. The system revolves around a **4-week seasonal loop** where NFT owners gain access to faster missions, exclusive upgrades, boss battles, and real rewards.

### 4-Week Seasonal Cycle

| Week | Phase           | Player Focus                                                                                                |
| ---- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1–2  | **Growth**      | Run Farm Missions, earn Paw Materials, hunt Awakening Dust, and level up Pals.                              |
| 3    | **Boss Season** | Use Lv 10+ Genesis Pals and Boss Tickets to battle PvE bosses and earn Slayer Points.                       |
| 4    | **Reward**      | Slayer Points(SP) is tallied. Top players earn crypto rewards (USDC/RON). Levels reset; NFT power persists. |

* Each season is **fresh**, but NFT Awakenings and ownership give you a permanent edge.
* **Leaderboard rankings** are based on Slayer Points (VP) earned from boss fights and level-ups.

### Gameplay Mechanics Enabled by NFTs

Genesis Pals are required for every advanced system in Clash of Galaxy:

| NFT Feature            | What It Unlocks                                                                    |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Awakening**          | Spend 5 Awakening Dust to unlock permanent faster missions and bonus skills.       |
| **Boss Fight**         | Only **Lv 10+ Genesis Pals** can enter boss fights and earn leaderboard points.    |
| **Rental System**      | List Pals for passive income or borrow Awakened Pals to boost your progress.       |
| **Mission Speed**      | NFT rarity + Awakening drastically reduce mission durations for faster farming.    |
| **Progress Carryover** | Non-NFT Pals reset each season. NFTs retain Awakening and bonus skill permanently. |

### Boss Fight Integration

NFT Pals shine most during **Boss Season**:

* Fight 3 tiers of bosses: **Lv10 (Easy), Lv15 (Medium), Lv20 (Hard)**
* Each boss fight costs **1 Boss Ticket** (farmable from missions)
* Win = Slayer Points + Paw Materials
* Lose = Pal is KO’d for 24 hours
* **Top players** based on SP earn **real rewards (USDC or RON)**

### What Resets vs What Stays

| Resets Each Season | Stays Forever    |
| ------------------ | ---------------- |
| Pal Level          | NFT Ownership    |
| Leaderboard Rank   | Awakening Status |
| Paw Materials      | Bonus Skill      |

This seasonal reset ensures fair competition, while still rewarding committed NFT holders with long-term growth.
