The Heroes

Going one step further than the standard NFTs, Song of Rising Hero NFTs are full RPG characters with stat blocks, consumable resources like HP, MP, and Stamina, as well as a leveling system! These NFTs are one of the key features of the game. Heroes can work multiple professions for rewards (including tending Farms for additional rewards and mining locked tokens for earlier access), participate in quests, and eventually battle each other and a variety of enemies in future updates. Heroes are both central to gameplay and important tools to earn a variety of rewards.

Hero Genes

Heroes have two sets of genes, one for appearance and another for their playable attributes, such as profession, class, subclass, passive and active abilities, and more. During Summoning, the newly summoned Hero will acquire genes from both source Heroes used in the summoning. There is also a chance of mutations in genes, resulting in new, rare abilities, classes, and aesthetics!

Summoning and Trading

Heroes are summoned through a dimensional portal by combining the genes of two existing Heroes and paying a summoning cost. Since there are so many parts that make up a Hero, each new NFT has a unique combination of appearance, class, and stats. Summoning is an art and a science, but with significant elements of chance as well. Every summon has a chance to produce an extremely rare and valuable Hero to play with or trade!

Heroes can be purchased or listed for sale in the Tavern. Players may also offer their Heroes up for hire in the Tavern, to be used by other players for Summoning.

Stats

Heroes have various stats that impact their performance in each profession and their strength in combat. These stats can be increased as Heroes gain experience and level up.

Quests

Heroes are able to go on various quests within the Song of Rising. Professions Quests allow Heroes to gather in-game resources, earn additional tokens from the Farms, and unlock tokens early, all while gaining experience and increasing their profession skill. Heroes can also participate in quests that require them to utilize their stats to achieve certain goals, engage in dialogue with NPCs, and travel the map to successfully complete. Eventually, Heroes will battle enemies as well. The latter features are currently in development.

Equipment

Heroes will be able to find and equip valuable equipment NFTs that will grant them special passive and active abilities, and increase their stats. The equipment system is currently in development.

Land

Heroes have the opportunity to compete for the right to purchase land, which is a special kind of upgradeable and limited NFT. Land can be bought and sold, built on, and visited by traveling Heroes.

Pets

Heroes can sometimes find eggs that they may hatch into rare Pet NFTs that will accompany them on their adventures. These pets can grant stat bonuses, provide bonuses to abilities, and more. Each pet that is hatched has a chance of being a different rarity, similar to Heroes, and the number and magnitude of bonuses they receive is based on that rarity and randomness.

PvP

Heroes will be able to participate in 3v3 combat against other players both for fun and to compete for wagers. Additionally, periodic tournaments will be held that reward winning teams from the quest fund. Maximize your stats and take your rightful place as the world champion! PvP is still in development.
