# BASEic Brawlers: the player's handbook basic art. brutal arena. built on base. this is the player's manual. start at the top, walk through to the bottom, and by the end you'll know how to mint, fight, sell, die, come back from the dead, and where you fit on the leaderboard. ## what it is, in one breath 2,000 pixel-art warriors on base. 1 dev-only king on top. you mint one, stake **brawl** to fight other players, winner walks with \~90% of the pot. lose three in a row and your brawler dies. resurrection costs real eth. every brawler is rolled fresh on mint by a 32×24 procedural pixel-art generator. same seed in, same warrior out. nothing is stored on a CDN, nothing comes off a cloud. it lives on chain. ## who this is for * you've used a wallet before, even just once * you can find your way around a basic dapp (connect, sign, confirm) * you don't mind reading a few minutes before clicking buttons if you've never used a crypto wallet, the **getting started** chapter walks you through that part too. it's not as hard as crypto twitter makes it sound. ## what this isn't * not a presale. not a vc round. not a roadmap deck. * not a 10x play. it's a game. price can do whatever it wants. * not a "finished" product, no software is. it's a small solo build, live on base. what you can mint and fight today is what got shipped. i'm a solo dev. that's the charm. it's also the limit. i'd rather you understood the trade-offs than felt sold to. ## the chapters `getting-started` → wallet, eth, first connect. `minting` → tiers, founder perks, rarity, bulk discount, lottery. `brawlers` → stats, weapons, the king. `duelling` → how a fight works, stakes, payout, combat mechanics, rating. `death-and-resurrection` → 3 strikes, the cost curve, the graveyard. `marketplace` → list, buy, fee, trade. `house-fighters` → why there's always someone to fight. `trust` → what's renounced, what isn't, why. `tips` → things i'd tell a friend before their first duel. `faq` → questions people actually ask. `links` → discord, x, telegram, contract addresses. read in order if you've never minted. skim by chapter if you have. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
