Valannia, an RTS-MMO crossover game employing Unreal Engine 5 graphics on the Solana blockchain, has announced the minting of its first set of legendary heroes. This event marks a crucial phase in the development of Valannia, which is also set to appear on the Epic Games Store.
Origin Hero NFT Minting Event
Scheduled for April 30th, the mint will release 4,000 unique Origin heroes across eight races in the game, with each race capped at 500 heroes. Heroes Races range from Humans, Zan’thar, Feyrune, Glorb, Tyxen, Lerathi, Pirith and Altari each which come with their unique traits that can be used on the battlefield. This initial mint is exclusive, offering players a chance to own the first legendary heroes who will participate in the much-anticipated PvP Arena slated to open later this year. These heroes will have the ability to level up, craft items, and lead in the arena, making them a central element of gameplay in Valannia.
Those who are looking to participate can mint their heroes by visiting Valannia’s official minting page once announced, connecting their wallets, and following the minting process, which includes race selection and hero attribute determination. Post-mint, these heroes will become tradeable on the Valannia marketplace, adding another layer of engagement as players can trade or sell their NFTs.
Origin Hero NFT Mint Price
The mint is planned to be affordable for all players set at 89 USDC for whitelisted players, 99 USDC at public round and only 79 USDC for Valunnium Ring NFT holders!
Whitelisting and Hero Selection
Valannia is currently conducting a second whitelist wave, providing a fair means for early community members to access the most potent units. Early holders of the Valunnium Ring NFT have already secured their whitelist spots. Participants in this whitelist will have the privilege to choose the race of their hero, though other attributes like specific hero abilities and visuals will be determined randomly at mint.
Being whitelisted offers several advantages, including guaranteed mint spots and a 10% discount on hero purchases. Additionally, it ensures participants can select from their preferred hero race, a significant perk as the public mint may see certain races run out quickly.
The Role and Rarity of Heroes
The heroes minted will not only play a pivotal role in gameplay but also possess unique abilities that will not be replicated in future releases. These heroes are distinguished by their “Origin” title, showcased with unique visual features such as a glowing aura, a distinct profile picture, and special armor. The mint thus represents a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Valannia’s foundational lore.
About Valannia

Valannia Arena combines MOBA and RTS elements, where players create armies from NFT-based units using a points system to compete in real-time 3v3 and 5v5 matches. Valannia World is a strategy MMO built in Unreal 5, beginning with browser-based crafting and hero progression, and expanding to include PvP and guild mechanics.
