The original set of '''abilities''' for the [[Battledome]] was retired and removed from the [[Neopets|Neopets website]] when the Battledome closed down for renovations on October 17, 2012.  [[TNT]] felt that these old abilities were outdated and useless, and they decided redesign the ability system from the ground up.  The resulting [[Faerie Abilities]] debuted on February 20, 2013.


'''Abilities''' are skills [[Neopet]]s may use in the [[Battledome]] in addition to whatever equipment they have. Certain abilities are available for all Neopets, and each species has three exclusive abilities that are acquired at certain levels. Most abilities are [[Faerie]] abilities, and bestowed on a Neopet when they are blessed for releasing a bottled faerie.  
The old ability system was divided into four types of abilities:  ''Stances'' were abilities that [[Neopet]]s could use to add multipliers to attack. ''Species abilities'' were abilities unique to each Neopet species.  ''Faerie abilities'' were elemental abilities that could be learned by releasing [[bottled faerie]]s.  Lastly, ''sponsor abilities'' were rare abilities that could be learned by signing up with various Neopets sponsors.
 
Neopets could only use one ability per round.  Abilities had a variety of effects.  Some abilities were attacks, some restored health, and others defended against incoming attacks.  Many abilities had no effect at all.


==Stances==
==Stances==
These abilities are available to all species of Neopet. All but Berserk Attack are available from level one. These act as multipliers applied to the damage given and received in a turn. They generate damage or defence icons as well, but these are not taken into account when calculating damage.
Stances were abilities that Neopets could use to add a multiplier to both their attack and that of their opponent. The strength of the multiplier depended on the type of stance used:


*''Defend'' - damage multiplier of 0.8;
{|style="margin:0 auto; border-spacing:20px;"
*''Cautious Attack'' - damage multiplier of 1;
||
*''Normal Attack'' - damage multiplier of 1.2;
{|style="margin:0 auto;text-align:center;" class="wikitable"
*''Jump and Attack'' - damage multiplier of 1.3;
!Stance
*''Fierce Attack'' - damage multiplier of 1.4;
!Multiplier
*''Berserk Attack'' - damage multiplier of 1.5, obtained at level 50;
|-

||Cautious Attack

!Multiplier
|-
||Jump and Attack
||130%
|-
||Fierce Attack
||140%
|-
||Berserk Attack
||150%
|-
|}
|}


Damage multipliers for both parties are taken into account when calculating damage - for example, if both parties use fierce attack, each party is dealt 1.4 * 1.4 = 1.96 the damage they would have received if both parties had used cautious attack (1 * 1 = 1).
If both parties used a stance in the same round, the two multipliers were combined together when calculating damage.  For example, if both parties use a ''Fierce Attack'' stance on the same round, the damage dealt by both parties would increase by 140% x 140%, which is 196%.


==Faerie abilities==
Neopets automatically learned the ''Berserk Attack'' stance at level 50. All other stances were available to all Neopets by default.
Faerie abilities are obtained from bottled faeries. A Neopet may be equipped with six different abilities at any one time, but may learn many more. They are activated (equipped) from a page accessible via the [[quick ref]]. Each different type of Faerie awards an ability from a different ability tree. To obtain a later ability from a faerie, all previous abilities must have already been obtained. Certain [[Negg]]s can also award some of these abilities.


===Air===
==Species Abilities==
These abilities are obtained from Bottled Air Faeries.

Each species of Neopet used to have set of unique abilities.  These species abilities were automatically learned upon reaching a certain level.  For example, all [[Elephante]]s learned the ability ''Elephante Trumpet'' at level 10. Some species ability were only available on the special day for that species. For example,  [[Flotsam]]s  could only use the ability ''Flotsam Splash'' on July 3rd, which is Flotsam day. Some Neopet species also had resistances and weaknesses to certain types of attack. For example, [[Scorchio]]s used to take 30% less damage from fire attacks, while [[Ixi]]s used to receive 20% more damage from darkness attacks.

    !style="width:200px;"|Description
The original faerie abilities could be learned by releasing bottled faeries. These abilities were divided into six types, each of which corresponded to one of the six types of bottled faerie that existed at the time. The type of ability that a Neopet learned when releasing a bottled faerie depended on the type of [[faerie]] that was being released. For example, opening a ''Bottled Water Faerie'' would teach a Neopet a water faerie ability.

===Darkness===
In order to learn an specific ability, a [[Neopet]] had to meet the minimum level required for that ability and also had to have already learned all the preceding abilities of the same type as the desired ability. For example, in order to learn the ''Haste'' ability, a Neopet would have had to be at least level 8 and must have also already learned both the ''Spark'' ability and the ''Air Shield'' ability. If a Neopet released a bottled faerie but did not meet the requirements to learn a new ability, the released faerie would simply fly away and have no effect.
