Skills

This is a list of skills in Swarm Grinder. To obtain new skills, players must successfully clear a mining post of Alien Cells. Upon doing so, they are presented with the opportunity to choose between three randomly generated skills. However, if the player has already acquired five distinct skills, they will be offered a random selection from their existing repertoire of five.
