# Skills

There are four different types of skills including **Passive Skills, Basic Skills, Ultimate Skills, and Area Skills.** However, not all heroes get all the skills. There is a chance that a hero will be assigned skills from the skill pool at random when summoning a new hero.

* **Passive Skills**: they are always active, and consist mostly of providing a hero with additional buffs and abilities during battle. There are two types of passive skills including general and exclusive (these are for heroes of different classes).&#x20;
* **Basic Skills**: they are cast automatically. Most of them have a certain cooldown time. Only when the cooldown time is up will the next skill be released.
* **Ultimate Skills**: they can only be cast when the Rage gauge reaches 100 points. Each character has a Rage gauge, which fills up proportionally with the character's anger or with each attack they land on an opponent or receive from an opponent. When the gauge is filled up, it flashes, meaning that the Ultimate skills can now be cast.&#x20;
* **Area Skills***:* they provide additional buffs and abilities to all heroes during battle, and require specific hero combinations in the player’s lineup.

Skills are closely related to the heroes’ classes and weapons. Notably, the skill combination of heroes of different rarities is different. For example, an N hero will only be born with an Ultimate Skill, whereas an SSR hero will be born with a Passive Skill, a Basic Skill, and an Ultimate Skill.
