# Chainmon Abilities

During battle, abilities are the primary source of dealing damage to your opponents.

Each Chainmon comes with a Primary, Secondary and Ultimate ability slot. Through Training, Evolving and special items you can replace a Chainmons active set of ability to your desire and playstyle.

Each ability has a baseline of stats that determine their performance in battle:

* Elemental Type
* Base Damage
* Stamina Costs

#### Elemental types <a href="#chainmonabilities-elementaltypes" id="chainmonabilities-elementaltypes"></a>

Each Elemental type has an advantage but also disadvantages against other types.

#### Base Damage <a href="#chainmonabilities-basedamage" id="chainmonabilities-basedamage"></a>

The raw unscaled damage output - before attacker’s and defender’s stat calculations.

The higher the base damage, the greater the potential to deal massive amounts of damage.

#### Stamina Costs <a href="#chainmonabilities-staminacosts" id="chainmonabilities-staminacosts"></a>

Every time this ability is used, your Chainmon will lose some Stamina. Choosing the right order of attacks and abilities can give you an edge over your opponents.

### Ultimate Ability <a href="#chainmonabilities-ultimateability" id="chainmonabilities-ultimateability"></a>

Each Chainmon Species comes with a unique Ultimate ability that charges up over the course of many battles. Time it’s use right to deal massive amount of damage or change the tides of battle to your advantage. If you hit a roadblock with a strong Quest or challenge, charge up your ability and try again!

Players are able to find and craft special items that instantly recharges this Ultimate ability.
