What is Dimension X?

Dimension X NFTs are super-powered heroes fueled by Element X!ย 

Some heroes harness the power of fire or wield psychic energy blades, while others have grown extra insect-like limbs!

The first drop of Dimension X heroes featured 10,000 randomly generated Generation 0 heroes, along with 300 custom heroes.ย 

The cost for a Generation 0 NFT was FREE!ย 

โ€

Why Free?

The Team of Dimension X believe that thereโ€™s no better marketing tool in games than FREE.

Dimension Xโ€™s free mint on the Flow Blockchain played an important role in building the diverse and engaged community they have today, letting players explore the gameโ€™s deeper mechanics and become part of something special.ย 

Dimension X has also extended its reach to the Ethereum Network with another free drop and game launch that happened on August 8,2023.

How does the game work?

In Dimension X, heroes are the key to gameplay, users are required to stake their NFT heroes in order to send them on Quests.

Quests are cooperative and competitive battles against enemies. These quests can be either cooperative or competitive and are set on a 3x3 grid.

Each grid has buffs and debuffs that affect how hero damage is calculated over time.

Hero Progression

Heroes gain XP by dealing damage during Quests,earning enough XP levels up heroes to a certain level and significantly increasing base damage.

Users must use their heroes strategically to maximize team damage and position them in buffed areas to enhance their XP gain.

Powers

Each hero comes with 3 random Powers, such as Fire, Ice, Blade, Bug, Magic, Radiation, and Tech.

Hereโ€™s what Powers do:

  • Increase hero damage by a percentage for each level.
  • Improve every 5 levels, boosting the damage bonus.
  • Activate different buffs and debuffs on the battle grid.
  • Ability to level up through gameplay to earn rewards!

โ€

Cosmetics

Heroes in Dimension X have a distinctive visual style made up of:

  • Face
  • Mask
  • Upper Body
  • Lower Body

Each hero features a unique combination of these elements. Some cosmetic combinations are rarer than others, making them more sought after!

Hero Types

There are 4 types of heroes in Dimension X:

  • Generation 0: Heroes from the initial 10,000 drop at the gameโ€™s launch. Each of these heroes comes with 3 powers.

  • Minted Heroes: Heroes that can be minted using THUL. They have 2 powers and a BOON slot, which changes each season.

โ€

  • Sidekicks: Non-NFT heroes that are earned in-game. They have 1 power and can vary in rarity, sometimes featuring additional Perks!

Users can also level up their powers with Power Tokens. Unlocking more sidekicks is crucial for participating in multiple quests at once.

โ€

  • Unique NFT Heroes: Non-generative heroes that may come from comics, major event rewards, the DMX comic card drop, character creation challenges, or other social events.ย 

These heroes function like other NFT heroes on quests but do not have generative traits. Some of the heroes are limited edition and sometimes the only copy in existence!

Note: Currently, Unique NFT Heroes can only be acquired through the secondary market.
