XP System & Game Mechanics

1. XP System & Game Mechanics

The Ascendants ecosystem introduces a dynamic progression system built around cards, crafting, and XP-based gameplay. Players earn, spend, and compete using XP to unlock rewards, craft powerful cards, and climb competitive leaderboards.

2. Card System – Crafting & Progression

In traditional card games, new sets are released periodically to keep gameplay fresh. Our system expands on this with blueprints, essence, and minting mechanics:

• Blueprints → Required to craft new cards.

• Essence → A special in-game currency used in crafting.

• Card Minting → Combine Essence + Blueprint to mint new, powerful cards.
