The launch of Origin is planned to be globally available via Mavis Hub and Android APK. While the game is on Alpha, the developers will be looking into user feedback to further refine the game before the official release.

New Mechanics For Origin (Battles v3)
Turn Sequence
Currently, in Battles v2 the players will have to choose the cards simultaneously at the start of the round. In Axie Origin, players will have to take sequential turns during the match and choose the cards that will be immediately played. This is intended to make the game fast-paced and more engaging.
Energy & Cards Resets Each Round
Energy and cards that are unused after the round will no longer accumulate during the match. This will be implemented to give less incentive for players who skips their turn to save energy and cards.
New mechanics for retaining energy and cards will be introduced along with these new changes.
Energy Gain & Reset GuideCard Changes & Updates
Most of the cards in the game will have to be played differently in Origin, the card description and effect will be changed, along with the attack and defense value of each card.
Eyes And Ears Cards
Currently in Battles v2, each Axie only has 4 cards depending on their body part. In Origin, the eyes and ears part will also provide cards, giving each Axie a total of 6 cards.
Runes & Charms - Power-Ups
In Origin, there will be power-ups (Runes and Charms) that you will be able to equip on your Axie to gain various buffs and enhancements.
You will be able to craft these power-ups by using resources called Moonshards along with SLP, these Moonshards can be gained by winning battles in Origin. Equipping runes will provide passive powers for your Axies, while charms are wearables that can enhance the ability of your Axie.
Season Upgrades
Each season, the Runes, Charms, and Moonshards that you have will be removed. This will make the players continuously hunt for resources to upgrade their Axies. In addition, the Runes and Charms that depreciated can be disenchanted to recover some of the resources used for crafting.
Players are also able to collect or be rewarded with Legacy Runes and Charms. These items can be extremely rare and unique.
Critical Hits & Rage System
Currently, critical hits are too random and it can often affect the outcome of the game. Because of this, they have decided to introduce a new mechanic called Rage. This will accumulate throughout the battle and it can be used against opponents.
Crit And Skill Computation & FormulaSimpler Axie Stats
Since Origin is shifting to become a turn-based game with new mechanics, stats such as Speed will now be irrelevant. In Origin, Axies will now only have hit points (HP) stats.
