Roaches
Everything about roach types, tiers, and characteristics
Roach Basics
The fundamental information about roaches
Players start the game with one random roach. All roaches are identical in terms of biology, but they differ in their characteristics and appearance.
Roach Characteristics
- Asset (Cryptocurrency): Each roach is tied to a specific cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH, XRP, etc.)
- UP/DOWN Characteristic: Each roach has either an UP or DOWN characteristic that determines how it reacts to price movements
- Energy: Roaches have energy that is consumed during races (100 energy by default, enough for 5 rounds)
- Tier: Roaches come in different tiers, with higher tiers unlocking new body parts, colors, and cryptocurrencies
Charging
After a race, roaches run out of energy and need to be charged:
- Charging costs 50 MTGN
- If a player doesn't have enough MTGN, they can earn it by completing Missions, inviting friends, or buying it with TRAX
- Players with multiple roaches can choose which one to charge
- Each roach slot has a generator that produces 50 energy per hour
- A roach needs 100 energy to be fully charged
- With one generator, charging takes 2 hours
- With two generators, charging takes 1 hour
- With three generators, charging takes 40 minutes
- Multiple roaches charging simultaneously share the charging speed
- Players can instantly complete charging for 2 TRAX
Roach Tiers
The different tiers of roaches available in the game
Players can own up to 6 roaches, each with a different tier. Higher tier roaches unlock new body parts, colors, and cryptocurrencies.
| Tier | Slot Cost (TRAX) | Roach Cost (MTGN) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 2 | 10 | 1,000 |
| 3 | 25 | 5,000 |
| 4 | 100 | 25,000 |
| 5 | 300 | 100,000 |
| 6 | 1,000 | 250,000 |
Each subsequent roach is one tier higher than the previous one. With higher tiers, new body parts, colors, and cryptocurrencies become available.
