# Magni

Magni will fight for you on the battlefield. There are two main elements of a Magni that you need to keep in mind - their Rank, and Attack Strengths. **Magni are represented as NFTs** on the Internet Computer, powered by [EXT - the extendable token standard](https://github.com/Toniq-Labs/extendable-token/blob/main/README.md) developed by us ([ToniqLabs](https://toniqlabs.com/)). Magni can be traded, collected and upgraded on-chain to improve their stats and value.

**Rank**

All Magni have a rank from **1** to **4 Stars**, which is based on their relative strength. When selecting a team to take into battle, you are restricted by a **Rank Cap of 23** - this means the accumulated total rank of your team of **10 Magni cannot exceed 23**.

This is important to consider as you want to ensure you take a balanced team into battle. For every **4 Stars** you select, you may have to take two **1 Star** Magni to balance the Rank Cap.

Currently, the Rank of each Magni also determines its tier:

**1 Star - Standard**\
**2 Stars - Bronze**\
**3 Stars - Silver**\
**4 Stars - Gold**

**Attack Strengths**

All Magni have 5 distinct Attack Strengths - Two flanking attacks (**Northwest** and **Northeast**), two guarding attacks (**Southwest** and **Southeast**) and a single central attack (**North and South**).

When a Magni goes into battle, the outcome is decided based on the values on the adjacent edges. **The Magni with the higher value wins the Skirmish on that edge.** In the following example image, the red Magni's northwest flanking attack (11) is greater than the blue Magni's southeast guarding attack (8), so the Red Player wins the skirmish

**Upgrades**

In future, we plan to add upgrades where players can "meld" specialized equipment into their Magni, increasing their overall strength and effectiveness.
