# Breeding

Breeding will be introduced into the Zombie Frens ecosystem once we feel the community is ready for it. \
\
You will breed two zombies to create an offspring. Baby zombie frens will have to be sent off to train, to the point where it will be useful in battle, or can be quickly leveled up using $BRAINS.\
&#x20;\
The main purpose will be to try and breed a zombie with desired traits that will give you the advantage in the arena while battling the squads of other Zombie Frens NFT holders. The abilities and traits your zombies receive from breeding are random, but can be influenced by breeding specific combinations of zombie frens.&#x20;

\
If you mint a zombie fren it will be a genesis zombie with 100% Zombie DNA\
As you are not staked, this DNA will go down. If it hits 0, you will have to pay $BRAINS to become zombie again to allow you to start staking again. \
\
\
The baby zombies you breed will have a max DNA % that is the average of the parent zombies at the time of breeding. \
So if parent A is 75% and B is 75% the baby zombie would be 75% as well. If parent A is 80% and B is 50% the baby would at most be 65% zombie. \
\
It is worth noting that being at 100% is the only way you'll be eligible for other future free mints.&#x20;
