# Pet Skills

The **Pet Skill System** adds a layer of strategy and competition to [**Eternians Mode**](https://docs.eternals.game/eternals_world/game-modes#eternians-mode) of the game, blending **pet skills** with traditional **Caro** gameplay. While success rates benefit users with high-rarity pets, a luck factor ensures fairness, preventing an overwhelming advantage for users with multiple high-rarity pets.

Each pet has 2 main skill types: **Active Skill** and **Passive Skill**. Each skill has its own success rate, meaning you may fail when activate a skill.

***

## **Active Skill**

Each pet has **1 Active Skill**, associated with one of the following elements: **Metal, Nature, Water, Fire, Earth, or Legend.**

#### How to Use an Active Skill:

1. **Activate**:
   * Click on the pet's skill icon.
   * Select a target on the board (**opponent's pieces** or **empty spaces**, depending on the skill).
   * Confirm to activate the skill.
2. **Usage Limit**: Players can activate any number of "ready skills" (skills not in cooldown) during their turn.

**Skill Cooldown**: Active skills begin in **cooldown** at the start of a game and cannot be used immediately. Cooldown time varies based on pet rarity—higher-rarity pets have shorter cooldown periods.

***

## **Passive Skill**

Each pet has **1 Passive Skill**, also associated with one of the 6 elements: **Metal, Nature, Water, Fire, Earth, or Legend.**

#### Types of Passive Skills:

1. **Auto-Apply**: Always active, requires no conditions, and cannot be removed.
2. **Conditional**: Activates automatically when specific conditions are met.

* **Optimize Pet Rarity**: Higher-rarity pets reduce cooldown time, but remember that luck is still a factor.
* **Adapt and Counter**: Learn the strengths and weaknesses of different elements to counter your opponent's pet skills effectively.
