SLP is an uncapped utility token that is used to breed new Axies. It can be either mined through playing Axie Infinity, bought via Uniswap, or earned by participating in various promotions or tournaments. Small Love Potions are required in the breeding of two Axies, in which the spent SLP will be burned and be replaced with a new Axie.
Prior to SLP, Axies used XP (experience points) earned through the old auto-battle system to breed. With the release of the Community Alpha on 12/19/2019, XP took on a new use, so SLP was introduced to take its place as the new “currency” behind breeding.
Beating a level in Adventure mode increases your current team's experience. Without research many believe that the higher levels provide more experience, however, that is not always the case. Oftentimes, certain lower levels are not only easier to beat, but they provide more experience. See the breakdown below:
Based on your MMR, you earn a different amount of SLP per win on Arena. The better you are, the more rewards you get. Please note that these are averages for the different MMR ranges, and that total SLP may fluctuate slightly from this number.
The amount of energy you can have depends on the number of Axies you have on your account. It replenishes each day at a fixed time.
See the below guide on which levels to farm experience on. Note that team comp might make some of these levels easier or harder, so some adjustments might be needed depending on your team. As a general rule if you can’t beat a level repeatedly, drop down one level until your Axies level up and then try again.
Each time you breed an Axie, SLP is consumed. The cost per breed depends on the Breed Count of both parents – the higher each parent's Breed Count, the more SLP will be used.
