The Bug class has an advantage over Reptile, Dusk and Plant classes. However, it is weak against the Bird, Dawn and Aquatic classes.

In addition to the additional skills and abilities the cards provide, the Axies will receive an additional 10 percentage damage bonus.

It is important to note that the Bug class is hardly ever used in an Axie team setup. Even though most of the Bug cards score low on a card tier list, there are a lot of cards that apply de-buffs upon use.

Aquatic class

The Aquatic class is extremely versatile due to its high speed and great vitality. These Axies make incredible off-tanks when they are paired with a Sponge Card. Not only can these Axies off-tank, they can be a high damage, backdoor attacker. They can be amazing damage dealers when paired with cards such as Piranha and Perch.

Each Aquatic card provides the Axies with an additional three speed points and one vitality point. Similar to the other classes, the Aquatic cards give the Axies a 10 percent damage bonus.

Plant class

The Plant class is very popular as it can be found in most Axie teams. However, the Plant cards usually take on the ‘defender’ role. Defenders are usually experts at absorbing damage since they have high vitality stats. However, it is recommended that they have at least two high shield cards equipped.

Each card will provide the Axie with three additional vitality points and one morale point. Similar to other classes, the Plant cards will give an additional 10 percent damage bonus to Axies.

Players should remember that the Plant class is weak against the Mech, Bug and Beast classes. However, it is powerful against Bird, Dawn and Aquatic classes.

Bird class

 The Bird class makes a perfect ‘Attacker’ due to the high speed and morale points. However, it is recommended that Attackers have at least two high damage cards. It is important to note that Bird attackers sacrifice survivability for high damage output. They are usually set up with four damage cards, or three high damage cards and one card that allows the Axie to attack the backline.

Each Bird card will provide the Axie with three additional speed points and one morale point.  It is important to remember that Birds are strong against Mech, Beast and Bug classes. While they have a disadvantage in battle against Reptile, Plant and Dusk classes.
