Editing Gameplay/Loadout System

Every character in ''God of Stackers'' brings a '''loadout''' into battle: three equippable abilities plus the character's own '''Ultimate'''.

== Loadout slots ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Slot !! Default key !! Contents
|-
| Ability 1 || 1 || Any ability you own
|-
| Ability 2 || 2 || Any ability you own
|-
| Ability 3 || 3 || Any ability you own
|-
| Ultimate || 4 || Fixed for each character (see [[Gameplay/Character System|Character System]])
|}

* Loadouts are saved '''per character''', so each character can have a different setup.
* Loadouts are edited from the '''Loadout''' tab of the character menu. Choosing an ability that is already in another slot swaps the two.
* New accounts start with '''Slice (B)''', '''Fire (B)''' and '''Rain (B)''' equipped.
* New abilities are obtained through [[Gameplay/Gacha System|Recruitment]].

== Using abilities ==

Each ability has a '''cooldown''' and may need a minimum '''phase''' before it can be used (see [[Gameplay/Stacking Mechanics#Phases|Phases]]). Ultimates unlock at Phase 3.

Abilities come in rarities '''S''', '''A''', '''B''' and '''C'''. Higher-rarity versions of the same ability are stronger but often have longer cooldowns.
