Abilities are sets of effects that you can use to boost your actions. You can find abilities on your Crew board and on Operation cards, printed within distinct boxes.

Every ability has a triggering effect, which is the one that they are boosting. The trigger is indicated on the top left corner of the ability box.

Most abilities are used during their trigger, meaning you have to resolve every part of an ability before you finish the triggering effect.

Some abilities are used right after their trigger, which is indicated by the shown icon. You must resolve every part of these abilities right after you conclude the triggering effect and before doing anything else.

Some abilities include a condition, which is a set of icons outside a blue dashed box. The ability within the box can only be resolved if the condition is met.

Example: The top ability of the Tactician Cadet card triggers right after a Crew action A, but only if you meet the condition of having 8 or more Tactics B. The bottom ability triggers during an attack (with no other conditions) C.
