Axie Infinity allows players to mint money while enjoying the game. It is a blockchain game where players breed virtual pets known as Axies. And battle them with each other.
In this article, we will inform you on how to breed your Axies
What is Breeding?
In Axie Infinity, breeding entails players bringing together two Axies to create a new Axie offspring. The offspring Axie develops as an egg that morphs within five days into adulthood.
The offspring Axie can be helpful in battle, breeding of a new offspring. Alternatively, you can sell it on the Axie marketplace.
Breeding Axies is not a cheap affair. You will have to spend some resources.
To avoid over breeding, the devs have put some measures to manage the Axie population. Thus controlling inflation of the Axies and preventing the collapse of the game’s economy.
Breed Count in Axie Infinity
In Axie infinity, breed count refers to how many times an Axie has produced offspring. The maximum breed of an Axie is seven times.
Generally, the value of Axies degenerates as they breed. The more the number of times an Axie has produced, the lower the value it has. The Most valuable Axis are the Virgins, those that haven’t bred even once. 0/7 breed count.

Costs of Breeding Axis
Breeding two Axies costs an amount of AXS and smooth love portions (SLP). As the breed count of the breeding Axies increases, more SLP is required. That is why Axies with a lower breed count and virgin Axies are most valuable.

How Long Does it Take An Axie Egg to Morph into Adulthood?
The egg takes five days to mature. After that, you can morph the egg into an adult Axie. You can observe this in the Axies progress bar. The Axie genes are only visible when the Axie becomes an adult. However, morphing an egg doesnt require resources.
What are Axie Genes?
All Axies have six body parts, with each part consisting of 3 different genes.
They include:
- A Dominant (D)
- Recessive (R1)
- Minor recessive gene (R2)
When breeding Axies, there are corresponding changes of genes passing to the offspring Axie.
The chances correspond as follows: Dominant 37.5%, Recessive 9.375%, and Minor recessive at 3.125%.
What is Gene Mutation in Axie Infinity?
Despite the chances of passing genes to offspring Axie, there is a possibility for gene mutation.
This happens when a gene completely changes into a different body part, with no inherited characteristic from the parent.
With twelve genes, there is a 10% chance for the R1 and R2 to mutate. However, dominant genes have a 0% chance to mutate.
Significantly, there are probabilities of mutations happening.
