Abilities

**Abilities** are the moves that a party member can use in battle. The abilities that a party member has are based on what trinkets they have equipped, and the abilities that they get from their trinkets are determined by their battle specialty.

## Battle Specialties

Battle specialties are classifications that determine what types of abilities party members can use. A battle specialty typically consists of two different ability types (Exploit/Destruction, Support/Ravage, etc.). Each party member has a unique battle specialty, with some ability types only being usable by one character.

## Passives

Some abilities have passives, which give the character with the ability equipped a passive bonus.

* **Water Added** - All abilities by the user gain the water element.
* **Fire Added** - All abilities by the user gain the fire element.
* **Plant Added** - All abilities by the user gain the plant element.
* **Nuclear Added** - All abilities by the user gain the nuclear element.
* **Fast** - All abilities ignore start-up delays.
* **Autoheal** - Automatically temporary heal at the start of each fight. If upgraded, targets all.
* **Saviour** - Auto-revives a dead ally once per fight.
* **Mutual Aid** - User's ravage abilities also trigger small party heal.
