A complete guide to The Honey Chronicles
OkayCubs runs on the Solana blockchain. You'll need a Phantom wallet โ the most popular Solana wallet. Download it as a browser extension from phantom.app. It's free and takes about a minute to set up.
To play, you need at least one OkayCubs NFT in your wallet. You can purchase Cubs on secondary marketplaces like Tensor or Magic Eden. Each Cub has unique traits that become your battle stats, so choose wisely โ or collect several to find your strongest fighter.
Visit the game page and click "Connect Phantom Wallet". The game will verify your NFT holdings on-chain and load all your Cubs. No registration, no passwords, no accounts โ just your wallet and your Cubs.
Your Cubs appear in a grid showing their image and name. Click one to select it for battle. The Trait Panel will show your Cub's stats โ HP, ATK, DEF, and LCK โ derived from their unique NFT traits.
Every Cub's battle stats are derived from their NFT traits. Different trait categories influence different stats:
| Stat | What It Does | Influenced By |
|---|---|---|
| HP (Health) | How much damage you can take before falling | Background, fur color, rarity |
| ATK (Attack) | Base damage dealt with Strike actions | Headgear, accessories, expression |
| DEF (Defense) | Damage reduction from enemy attacks | Clothing, fur pattern, body type |
| LCK (Luck) | Critical hit chance and dodge probability | Eyes, mouth, special accessories |
Combat in The Honey Chronicles is turn-based. Each turn, you choose one of three actions:
A direct attack based on your ATK stat. Damage varies slightly each turn, and your LCK stat gives a chance to land a critical hit for double damage. This is your primary offensive tool.
Raise your defenses for the turn. Reduces incoming damage significantly and can stack with your natural DEF stat. Use this when the enemy is about to unleash a powerful attack โ the battle log often gives hints.
Your Cub channels the power of the era's honey for a special attack. Honey Bursts deal heavy damage but have a cooldown โ you can't use them every turn. The type of honey varies by era and can have bonus effects.
The game tracks your total victories across all battles. As you accumulate wins, new eras unlock on the World Map:
| Era | Victories Required | Honey Power |
|---|---|---|
| ๐ Hadean | Start | Magma โ raw damage |
| ๐ชจ Archean | 5 wins | Stone โ defense boost |
| ๐ Proterozoic | 15 wins | Tide โ HP regeneration |
| ๐ฟ Paleozoic | 30 wins | Bloom โ speed/venom |
| ๐ฆ Mesozoic | 50 wins | Titan โ brute force |
| โ๏ธ Cenozoic | 75 wins | Frost โ time control |
Each era has its own pool of enemy guardians with increasing difficulty. Enemies in later eras have higher stats, more complex attack patterns, and special abilities tied to their era's honey.
When your Cub's HP reaches zero, they've fallen in battle. You have two choices:
Revive: Watch a short ad to restore your Cub to full HP and continue the fight exactly where you left off. This is the only way to recover mid-battle.
Retreat: Return to the strata (main screen). Your Cub is fully healed, but the battle progress is lost โ you'll face a new random guardian next time.
Don't have an OkayCubs NFT yet? The game offers a Demo Mode with sample Cubs so you can experience the battle system before buying. Demo progress isn't saved, but it gives you a full taste of the combat mechanics and era exploration.
