Knights of the Ether (KOTE) is the next step in the evolution of blockchain gaming. It combines on-chain economy-based play to earn, with the tactics, skill and replayability of a deck-building Roguelike game.

In the PvE card battler portion of the ecosystem, you will become your Knight as he traverses three acts of monster fights and mysterious encounters. Build your deck as you go, choose the best rewards to synergize with your knight’s gear and pick your path across a randomly generated map to each of the three bosses.

No two playthroughs are the same. Every choice matters. The further you make it into the UnderDark, the more $FIEF you earn. The more $fief you earn, the better you can equip your Knight for the next run.

Gaming Features 🎮


Getting Started

To get started in the Knights of the Ether ecosystem, you need to buy a Knight (Ethereum Mainnet)

KOTEs can be bought on the following marketplaces.

In order to quest you need to purchase a Squire (Arbitrum) which are only available for purchase on the 👉 Trove Marketplace.

Once you own both a Knight and a Squire, you can send your Squire out on daily quests in order to receive $FIEF, Potions, Trinkets and Rings.

Upon acquiring these items, $FIEF can be used to upgrade or combine them in various ways in order to increase their stats and emissions boost percentages.

As your Knight traverses the UnderDark, the loot you obtain at the end of each combat is dictated by which items you have unlocked and upgraded with your squires.

Set yourself up for the best possible drops to enhance your expedition and boost your emissions by unlocking and upgrading strong items, cards and gear. The stronger your Knight, the further you’ll make it into each expedition, earning more $FIEF, placing higher on the leaderboards (qualifying for more lucrative prizes) and unlocking better items and cards for future runs.

The Flagship Game: Blightfell

Blightfell is a Web3 deck-building rogue-like game inspired by unlimited replay-ability and deep, strategy-focused, competitive gameplay. The game bridges the gap between Web2 and Web3 by developing code from the ground up, utilizing blockchain technology, and adding true ownership of your character and assets in-game through the use of NFT’s. Blightfell is the base layer for an ever-expanding Fantasy RPG that other indie game developers can build on top of.

The Temple

The Temple, open two days a week from 12am PST Saturday to 12pm PST Sunday, is the best place to level up your Squires’ stats. Here you have double the chance of all other Quest destinations to receive a stat upgrade and you even have a chance to receive 2 stat upgrades at once on the same Squire.

Alchemist

The Alchemist’s Shop is your one-stop destination for all things Potions. You can both Upgrade and Transform your Potions here in order to refine your inventory.

Jeweler

The Jeweler handles all things Rings. Combine Rings of the same level to Upgrade them from Level 1 to Level 5 or Transform Rings from one type to another in the hopes of receiving something rarer or a ring of a different make

Strategy Paths

A successful Play to Earn model caters to as many unique players as possible in order to further it’s success. KOTE gameplay caters to passive, active, and part-time players.
