In Axie Infinity, each Axie has a set of four cards or “skills” that they can use during battle to defeat the enemy team. While there are 130+ cards available in the game, only a few ones stand out.
In this guide, we list down some of the best cards/skills for each Axie class. These cards give out the best value in terms of offensive/defensive stats and effects.
You can use this list as a guide when trying to build your starter team of 3 Axies.
Note: Balance updates have been made to some cards starting Season 19. We will update this guide taking into account these changes once the meta starts to settle!
