Gas Hero Community Our First-Day Test Experience and Quick Growth Tutorial

On November 27th Beijing time, the second game developed by the STEPN development team, Gas Hero, officially launched its community test.

This round of testing is open to 3000 community users, including Gas Hero NFT badge holders, Find Satoshi Lab ambassadors, partners, and other groups. Gas Hero has recently sent notification emails to all eligible users.

• Financing Weekly Report | 16 public financing events; Blast, a Layer 2 network founded by Blur, completes a $20 million financing round with participation from LianGuairadigm.
• Why did dYdX choose to launch its own chain?
• Comprehensive comparison of on-chain data Who is the future star of L2?

This round of testing is a wipe test, and all assets during the testing period will be on the PolygonMumbai testnet and will not be transferred to the mainnet after the public release. This also means that when the public beta starts, all users will need to start the game from scratch.

In order to facilitate the smooth gameplay experience, Gas Hero will provide multiple resource support to all test players, including:

• 4 “Free Heroes” (with a lifespan of only 2 days), which can be used as an early transition;

• 1 “Base Car”, 300 “Hero Fragments”, 200 “Weapon Fragments”, 200 “Pet Fragments”;

• 30 test version GMT for scheduled airdrops at 23: 00 every day.

Today at 11:00, Gas Hero officially opened the entrance to the community test, and Odaily Planet Daily also conducted a trial play at the first time. Next, we will show you the game content that has been opened in the Gas Hero test phase and help you get started as soon as possible based on our own gameplay experience.

First is the login process. Gas Hero uses a similar email login method to STEPN. Enter the email address that has obtained the test qualification in the login window, and you can log in to the game after receiving the verification code. The main interface after login is shown in the following figure.

Next, we can click on the avatar to make some personalized settings, such as changing the language to Chinese and changing the name of the random character (we changed it to Odailytest).

After completing these settings, we can officially start the game. The first thing we need to do is to configure the lineup using the 4 “Free Heroes” given by the official. Click on the Troops button to enter the lineup configuration interface. It is recommended to place the 2 “Free Heroes” with higher health in the rightmost column (the front row of actual combat) to withstand damage, and place the other 2 “Free Heroes” with higher attack power in the middle column (the middle row of actual combat) for output.

After the configuration is complete, we need to complete level 1-7 of the “Underground Battle” to unlock more game content. Each battle will consume 2 “energy” points (which can be understood as the stamina in STEPN). The battles are relatively easy, and after winning a battle, you will receive 1 “Hero Potion” that can be used to upgrade heroes. The difficulty will slightly increase in the last two levels, but you only need to use the potions to upgrade the front-row heroes to level 2 or 3 to clear the levels easily. Just be careful not to upgrade too much because these “free heroes” have a short lifespan.

After completing the seven levels, we can “land”. It is important to note that the system will automatically allocate a landing position, but players can also choose manually. Due to the larger number of real-world players in Tokyo, we chose “Tokyo – District 1 – Guild 1 – Settlement 1”.

“Landing” requires the use of 1 base car item given by the official (provided in this test version, but needs to be purchased in the official game), and this will unlock new functions such as the “Laboratory” (for hero synthesis and skill upgrades), “Map” (for switching game scenes), and “Market” (for item trading). At this point, our main interface will also change.

Now, we can use the 300 “Hero Shards”, 200 “Weapon Shards”, and 200 “Pet Shards” given by the official to synthesize more valuable “Heroes”, “Weapons”, and “Pets”.

Before performing the synthesis operation, the system will ask us to generate an on-chain address. Just follow the official process guide step by step. After the address is generated, you can view the private key and mnemonic phrase on the “Wallet” interface in the upper right corner. Remember to keep them safe. Afterwards, we need to claim some test MATIC on the Mumbai testnet faucet in order to perform on-chain minting of these NFT items.

Now, let’s talk about the synthesis of “Heroes”, “Weapons”, and “Pets”. We can simply understand “Heroes” as the “shoes” in STEPN, which are the main items we use in Gas Hero. “Weapons” and “Pets” can be understood as “gems” in STEPN, which are auxiliary items that enhance the abilities of heroes.

It is worth mentioning that the “heroes” synthesized in this form have a lifespan of 20 days, which is enough to cover the entire community testing phase. So, as mentioned earlier, some “hero potions” that you saved can be used to level up these “heroes” at this time. Then, you can add these heroes to your lineup through lineup configuration – do note, however, that when configuring your lineup, you will be prompted with attack range suggestions, as some “heroes” may not be able to attack enemies in the back row.

Of course, you can also choose to list your “heroes”, “weapons”, and “pets” on the “marketplace” for sale. However, since the GMT airdrop on the first day will not be distributed until 23:00 (everyone only has items and no coins), you can only place orders temporarily and cannot engage in real transactions.

Currently, after landing, players can mainly engage in battles in the “settlement” scenes to obtain resources for synthesizing or nurturing “heroes” and other items. As shown in the main interface after landing in the above picture, the “AI Camp” will produce “hero potions,” the “Zoo” will produce “pet shards,” and the “Sports Ruins” will produce “weapon shards”… the “Settlement Boss” will only be available the day after tomorrow.

Due to the current scarcity of “energy” and the fact that each challenge consumes 5 points of “energy,” it is recommended that players prioritize challenging the “AI Camp” (difficulty level can be set to Easy #2) in the current stage to increase the level of their own “heroes,” and then consider other options.

In addition to the “settlement” scenes, players can also switch to other levels through the “map,” such as “city,” “district,” “guild,” and so on, to experience more advanced gameplay.

For example, players can experience the “Guild Auction House” or “Arena” in the “guild” scene, or experience higher-level “District Auction House” in the “district” scene, or even run for “Speaker.”

However, since this round of testing has just begun, the first round of GMT airdrops and some game content have not yet been released, so if you want to experience these advanced gameplay, you will need to continue waiting. Odaily Star Daily will closely follow the progress of the game and update their first-hand experience after the testing goes deeper.

Lastly, I want to remind you that although this round of testing is in a delete file format, Gas Hero has announced several incentive measures to encourage community participation. For example, they will provide official props incentives to the top 100 players in the community during the testing period, as well as a lucky draw incentive for players who achieve 80 “combat power” (which can be found below the avatar) during the testing period.

Currently, these game items from Gas Hero have performed well in the Mooar Market, so I hope that eligible players who experience this round of internal testing can enjoy the game and win many prizes.

We will continue to update Blocking; if you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us!
