From now on, your CraftInk cards have a use! Create your team on playcraftink.com to be ready for the start of the season on Sunday September 24th!
In the first alpha version, you can create your CraftInk team and let it compete against other teams.
Each season is divided into two phases: The team creation phase and the battle phase. After the season, you earn rewards in form of INK, HIQS and CraftInk packs depending on your score.
The first season serves as a test run to test mechanics and find bugs. Please share your feedback with us on Discord and report any bugs you find.
After the first season, more functions will be added continuously. Skill blends are at the top of the list. The skill blend mechanism is already implemented in the backend and will be activated as soon as possible.
Attention: Currently, the creation of teams is free of charge. All players in the first season will continue to be able to play for free. In later seasons, we will charge a small fee for team creation and access to the game.
Team building phase
Before you can start, you have to log in at playcraftink.com and then click on the "Play" icon. Then click on "Build your team".
To create a team, you must first decide how much Fillink you want to use. You must use at least 15 Fillink and can use a maximum of 45 Fillink. Simply drag the Fillink colour you want to use onto the Fillink icon and enter the desired number.
You can also add more Fillink. Select the desired Fillink type again and drag it onto the icon. Enter the desired number of fillinks and click "Confirm". You can repeat the process until you reach the desired number of Fillink. Watch the counter above the icon while filling. The counter starts at -15 and can reach a maximum of 30. This is 45 Fillink. You can only submit your selection when the counter has reached at least 0. Simply click on "next". If you want to revise your selection, reload the page.
Once you have submitted your selection, you can set character cards for your team. You can drag and drop up to 5 character cards onto the 5 fields. The display above the fields shows how high your Fillink cap is. For example, if you have previously selected 25 Fillink cards, you can drag up to 5 characters onto the fields. The number in the ink blot tells you how much Fillink each character is worth.
You can also choose less than 5 character cards. The character cards you choose will form your team for the battle phase. The first two are the attackers and the last two are the defenders. The middle card is the all-rounder who can attack and defend.
If you click "Create Team" and confirm via Keychain, your team will be created. If you reload the page, you will return to the selection page for the Fillink cards.
Battle phase
The battle phase begins on Sunday, when groups of 10 players are formed to compete against each other. One day of play lasts 4 hours. A game consists of 5 rounds.
During a round, the attacker rolls his attacker dice values and the defender defends with his defender dice values. The all-rounder rolls the dice when defending and attacking.
If you win a round, you get 3 points, if you draw 1 point and if you lose 0 points. The player with the most points wins the game day.
Rewards
After a season, the reward pool is distributed depending on the ranking. This consists of INK, HIQS and CraftInk Packs.
