# Abilities

Activated abilities are played in betting order in an additional round of action after betting action closes and before the next street comes. Abilities in Heroes of Holdem are class specific. **Each of the seven available classes has at least 20 unique abilities available to collect and use in their loadouts, as well as one automatic static class ability that is always present.** Depending on your Hero choice, you will have several ability slots in your loadout to fill with appropriate class ability NFTs that you own in your collection.

**Abilities come in two types: Activated and Triggered.** Abilities are usable only once per event, so use them wisely!

**Ability Cards are acquired by purchasing rare, epic, and legendary chests using Gems or H$RO.**\
Each chest will contain 1 random ability, 1 random equipment, and 1 random minion. Legendary chests will get an additional ability.<br>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://heroesofholdem.gitbook.io/whitepaper/game/abilities.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
