Offhands - little known helpers
samaverse

You may have heard of them, but have you used them? Offhands provide some cool in-game buffs, and here's what they are.

Offhands are equipable items (NFTs) used across the #samaverse. Every offhand has its unique utility. You can now use them in the Moonsama Minecraft or Pondsama metaverses.

Called offhands in the Minecraft metaverse, or artifacts in the Pondsama metaverse. We'll refer to them as offhands in general.

  • Minecraft - there is a 2-minute cooldown applied to the repetitive usage of some buffs (moonrum, moonburger, moonpaw), same as the offhand change - you can switch between different offhands only after the cooldown times up.

  • Pondsama - buffs are applied automatically by the battle engine.

There are two variants of squids with different rarity/looks, but they all have the same utility.
