Lava Crab: ability choices and unlocks
The table connects Lava Crab to its recorded abilities, grouped by combat slot. Open an ability to inspect its effects and other pets with the same move.
| Ability | Slot | Unlock level |
|---|---|---|
| Burn | Slot 1 | 1 |
| Survival | Slot 1 | 10 |
| Shell Shield | Slot 2 | 2 |
| Cauterize | Slot 2 | 15 |
| Conflagrate | Slot 3 | 4 |
| Magma Wave | Slot 3 | 20 |
- Slot 1 pairs Burn (level 1) with Survival (level 10). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
- Slot 2 pairs Shell Shield (level 2) with Cauterize (level 15). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
- Slot 3 pairs Conflagrate (level 4) with Magma Wave (level 20). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
Before leveling this pet for a team, check which of these alternatives your plan needs. Compare its in-game health, power and speed with the requirements of the encounter. A matching ability name alone does not establish that two pets are interchangeable.
