Each MCH item and hero belongs to you. You can freely trade those items outside of the game and even make use of them in other games.

The Heroes 

Players get three teams of three heroes, and your goal is to level up your heroes through quests and join the player vs. player battles to conquer the MCH world. You can also equip your heroes with armor and weapons. You start with free generic heroes (warrior, tactician, and an artist) that you can use to get acquainted with the game. If you like the game, You can later decide to purchase a historical hero. Historical heroes are based on historical characters from the real world. They have an original pixel art design and are tradable in the Ethereum network (NFTs). 

It is important to understand the different hero types because not all heroes are NFTs, which means some of them are not valuable crypto assets.

Novice Heroes are in-game heroes, which you will not be able to sell and transfer on the Ethereum Network.
Rep. Heroes or Replica heroes will expire after seven days from the first use.
Heroes or Historical Heroes are valuable NFTs, which you can trade or sell on the Ethereum network. Historical Heroes come in different levels: common, uncommon rare, epic, and legendary, where legendary heroes are most valuable. 

You can micro-manage your party and arrange their fighting order. Change each hero’s attack combinations and equip them with weapons.

Gameplay – NPC battles

Once you’ve assembled your heroes, you’re ready to get started. The Quest tab is where most of the action happens. It’s where you will send your heroes to nodes, which are the game’s dungeons. Each node has different monsters and loot. It also has a difficulty level that’s linked to the amount of stamina it will take from your heroes. Higher nodes will reward your heroes with better items and more Crypto Energy (CE), which are experience points to level them up. Nodes have versions, which means that they update over time. Whenever a Node changes, the extension drops change as well.

The battle plays automatically and is calculated based on your heroes’ attributes and extensions etc. You can watch it unfold by scrolling down, move by move, or you can skip and watch the outcome right away. The final battle has a powerful boss monster that will drop the loot when you kill it. 

Factions and Player vs. Player Battles

Players have an option to join communities in the Land tab. There are currently nine land factions, each of which engages in land Battles, weekly raids, and Weekly cups. Each faction also has its Discord channel. There’s a lot more depth to the land system, and We are including links for more MCH resources:
