Game Modes and Gameplay
Eldarune boasts four distinct game modes, each offering unique gameplay mechanics and requiring different strategies for success:
- Campaign Story Mode: Players follow the main character, Alec, through an engaging storyline. This mode is fundamental to understanding the game and enhances other playing modes. Players purchase NFTs related to Alec to build strong armies.
- Dungeon Grinding Mode: This mode challenges players to develop their Champions by equipping and upgrading items. It involves navigating through various dungeons, facing enemies of increasing difficulty, and earning rewards based on performance.
- Clan Boss Team-Up Mode: Focused on clan gameplay, players team up to fight against powerful bosses. Success in this mode requires collective effort and strategy, with rewards distributed based on each member's contribution.

NFTs and In-Game Assets
In Eldarune, the integration of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) plays a pivotal role in enhancing the gameplay experience by offering a variety of unique digital assets. Central to this is the Alec NFT, the soulbound main character of the Campaign mode, which is essential for accessing all game modes. Additionally, players can acquire Oathstones, mystical artifacts that, when opened, reveal Champions, purchasable with the $ELDA token.
The game features ELDA Runes Utility NFTs, which players can stake to earn rewards, adding another layer of strategy to the game. Furthermore, there is an array of over 40 distinct Champion NFTs, each belonging to different classes such as Tank, Ranged, Mage, and more. These Champions come with their own unique abilities and playstyles, allowing players to tailor their gaming experience to their preferences.

How to Get Started
Embark on your journey in Eldarune's Dungeon Mode by first securing 750 $ELDA tokens to obtain a Whitelist (WL) and mint your essential Alec NFT. This initial step sets the stage for your adventure, allowing you to access the game's core features. Once you've minted Alec, delve into the world of Champions by acquiring Oathstones, mysterious chests that reveal various rarity Champions to enhance your gameplay. The process involves visiting your inventory, cracking open these Oathstones, and discovering the unique Champions they hold, ready to join your quest.
As you prepare to explore the dungeons of Elymnias, ensure you have the DGM software installed and registered, linking it to your wallet containing the Alec NFT. This seamless integration is crucial for a smooth gaming experience. In the dungeons, strategic planning is key. Equip your squad with a diverse range of Champions, each bringing their own strengths and abilities to the fore. As you conquer stages and claim victories, focus on claiming rewards and strategically upgrading your items, bearing in mind the risks and rewards of each upgrade.
