Itâs finally here. Well, almost: After months of tapping our phone screens and investing in our fictional crypto exchanges operated by furry creatures, the Hamster Kombat token launch and airdrop are just days away on September 26.
But for players who are serious about boosting their bags ahead of the airdrop, thereâs another date thatâs even closer: the season-ending snapshot on September 20 at 6pm UTC.
Thatâs when Hamster Kombatâs developers will call this first in-game season a wrap ahead of the airdrop, and use the remaining days before the token generation event to determine allocations and make sure all of the pieces are in placeâand perhaps cross their fingers and toes that The Open Network can handle the rush of players trying to claim tokens.
You now have almost a day left as of this writing to make some last moves to put yourself in the best position to claim a share of the airdrop. Luckily, the team has already shared which factors will play into the allocations, and weâve played a ton of Hamster Kombatâso hereâs a quick primer on how to make the most of the last pre-airdrop push.
Note: This is all based on the information that Hamster Kombat has shared about the airdrop allocation factors. We donât yet know how each category will weigh into the final balance, nor how many tokens players will earn based on their gameplay. Also, the developersâ plans could changeâas we just saw with the Catizen airdrop.
Got a huge stash of in-game coins? Thereâs good news and bad news. Weâll start with the bad: Hamster Kombatâs team has said repeatedly, for months now, that your profit-per-hour mark is more important than your coin balance. If youâve been hoarding coins rather than investing into upgrades to boost your passive income, then you have some work to do.
Luckily, you can spend those coins to buy into late upgrades now. But donât spend indiscriminately: Some upgrades are much more valuable than others, delivering more bang for your buck in terms of hourly offline earnings. But even the juiciest upgrade cards have diminishing returns, and given the tiny window of opportunity here, you probably donât want to spend on hugely expensive upgrades that would take months of play to pay off.
Granted, thereâs only so much you can do at this point. And if you donât have a bunch of coins stashed, then you might not be able to make up much ground. But buy whatever upgrades you can and choose wisely. And if you need to earn a bunch of coins, then jump into the solidly fun Hexa Puzzle mini game and start stacking.
