📖 Game Guide
How to Play PyroChibis
PyroChibis is a gamified NFT experience on FOGO chain. Summon elemental fire spirit heroes, build your collection, raid dungeons, and craft rare items.
Overview
PyroChibis are elemental fire spirit NFT heroes. Each hero has 9 randomized traits that determine their rarity tier and visual appearance. Your goal is to build a powerful collection, raid dungeons for shards, and craft items to summon even stronger heroes.
The game runs on FOGO chain, a Solana-compatible blockchain. In-game currency is FOGO. Future versions will support additional blockchain tokens.
Economy
The PyroChibis economy revolves around three layers:
- ▸ FOGO — primary currency. Used to buy items in the Store.
- ▸ Ember Seals 🔴 — required to summon. Buy from Store or craft from Ember Shards.
- ▸ Shards — looted from dungeons. Craft into Seals, Pacts, and Blessings.
| Item | Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Ember Seal 🔴 | 10 FOGO | Store or craft (10 Ember Shards) |
| Race Pact | 20 FOGO | Store or craft (5 Bloodline Shards) |
| Ember Blessing 🔥 | 25 FOGO | Store or craft (4 Flame Essences) |
| Inferno Blessing 🌋 | 50 FOGO | Store or craft (6 Inferno Essences) |
| Aether Blessing ⭐ | 100 FOGO | Store or craft (10 Aether Essences) |
Summoning
Summoning costs 1 Ember Seal per ritual. You can optionally equip an Ancestral Pact and/or Sanctum Blessing to influence the outcome — both are consumed on summon. After the ritual animation completes, a summoning cinematic plays before your hero is revealed.
Ancestral Pacts
Pacts bind a specific race bloodline to your hero. The chosen race's favored traits have a 75% guaranteed chance in key trait slots.
| Pact | Race | Favored Traits |
|---|---|---|
| Sovereign Flame | King | Crown, royal armor, commanding presence |
| Abyssal Flame | Demon | Demonic horns, shadow wings, dark power |
| Prism Spirit | Fairy | Rainbow wings, holy light, ethereal grace |
| Warforged | Warrior | Heavy armor, battle weapons, unyielding might |
| Neon Core | Cyber | Neon flames, mechanical parts, tech supremacy |
| Glacial Inferno | Frostfire | Ice-fire hybrid traits, frost auras |
Sanctum Blessings
Blessings shift the per-trait rarity roll distribution, making higher-quality traits more likely.
| Blessing | Common | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| None (Standard) | 60% | 28% | 9% | 3% |
| Ember Blessing | 8% | 58% | 24% | 10% |
| Inferno Blessing | 3% | 22% | 50% | 25% |
| Aether Blessing | 2% | 15% | 38% | 45% |
Traits & Tiers
Every hero has 9 traits: Base Flame, Expression, Hat, Armor, Weapon, Wings, Aura, Pet, and Background. Each trait is independently rolled to a rarity tier.
| Final Tier | Score Range | Raid Power Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 0–27 pts | 1.0× |
| Uncommon | 28–43 pts | 1.2× |
| Rare | 44–61 pts | 1.5× |
| Epic | 62–79 pts | 2.0× |
| Legendary | 80+ pts | 3.0× |
Each trait contributes points to the hero's total score. A hero's Final Tier is determined by their total score across all 9 traits. Higher tier heroes deal significantly more power in dungeon raids.
Races & Bloodlines
Every PyroChibi belongs to one of 6 races, determined by the dominant bloodline traits rolled during summoning. Races affect dungeon power through race affinity bonuses — heroes fighting in a dungeon that favors their race deal significantly more power.
- ▸⚔️ Warrior — battle-forged bruisers. Shine in Ember Caves and Cyber Nexus.
- ▸😈 Demon — shadow-touched powerhouses. Best in Abyssal Rift.
- ▸👑 King — regal and commanding. Dominate Frostfire Wastes and Royal Sanctum.
- ▸🤖 Cyber — technological constructs. Favored in Cyber Nexus.
- ▸❄️ Frostfire — paradox elementals of ice and flame. Thrive in Frostfire Wastes.
- ▸🧚 Fairy — ethereal and elusive. Provide synergy bonuses in Abyssal Rift and Royal Sanctum.
A hero's race is detected from the proportion of racial traits across their 9 trait slots. Heroes with a strong majority of one race's traits are classified as Pure, while mixed heroes become Hybrids — contributing partial bonuses from both bloodlines.

Drop Rates by Dungeon
Every dungeon has a unique loot table. Ember Shards drop from every raid (amount depends on outcome). Bloodline and Essence Shards each have an independent chance to drop per raid.
Easy Dungeons
| Dungeon | Ember Shards | Bloodline Shard | Bloodline Chance | Essence Shard | Essence Chance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ember Caves | 3–8 | Warforged ⚔️ | 35% | Flame 🔥 | 15% |
| Frostfire Wastes | 3–8 | Glacial ❄️ | 35% | Flame 🔥 | 15% |
| Cyber Nexus | 3–8 | Neon 💠 | 35% | Flame 🔥 | 15% |
Hard Dungeons
| Dungeon | Ember Shards | Bloodline Shards | Bloodline Chance | Essence Shards | Essence Chance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abyssal Rift | 5–14 | Abyssal 🌑 or Prism 🌈 | 55% | Flame 🔥 or Inferno 🌋 | 30% |
| Royal Sanctum | 5–14 | Sovereign 👑 or Prism 🌈 | 55% | Flame 🔥 or Inferno 🌋 | 30% |
Legendary Dungeons
| Dungeon | Ember Shards | Bloodline Shards | Bloodline Chance | Essence Shards | Essence Chance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eternal Flame | 10–22 | Any bloodline shard | 80% | Flame, Inferno, or Aether | 60% |
| Primordial Flameheart | 15–30 | Any bloodline shard | 90% | Flame, Inferno, or Aether | 75% |
* On a Conquest outcome there is a 50% chance to receive a second bloodline shard from the drop. Narrower outcomes scale the ember shard amount down proportionally.
Collection
Every summoned hero is saved to your Collection. You can filter heroes by tier (Common → Legendary) and track your progress.
Click any hero card to open a full detail modal showing their image, tier, score, blessing, race, and all 9 traits with individual rarity badges.
Heroes in your collection are available for dungeon raids. The higher their tier and the more they match a dungeon's favored race, the more power they contribute.
