Reaction Ring
Devastating AoE zone: summons a shrinking 12-unit aura delivering 80% damage across 4 knockback pulses (320% total) plus a 600% explosion burst. Carried by the Secret Catalyst Hen; defines the Season 1 Arena crowd-control meta.

How this skill tier list is ranked
Ranks follow observed in-game effect and community reporting — the developer doesn't publish skill stats or tiers. A skill ranks high when it compounds existing income or clears content a base kit can't, and ranks lower when a cooldown or niche fit makes it situational. Last site update: August 30, 2026.
How to unlock these skills
Every ranking skill is a fusion-carried special ability. Full step by step on our Special Abilities unlock guide, with the base, donor and trait-lock rules on the Fusion guide. For the fighters worth carrying them, check the chicken tier list.
Skill Tier List FAQ
Which skill should I fuse first?
Start with Double Cash if you farm a lot — it compounds every income source. If you're stuck on boss floors instead, an anime-style special move is the better first unlock.
What is the best ability in grow a chicken fighter?
For progression, Double Cash is unmatched. For arena combat, look for AoE crowd control like Reaction Ring or Abyssal Surge.
Can I have more than one skill on a chicken?
Community reports point to a single well-fitted ability beating two mediocre ones. Prioritize your roster's role before stacking traits.
Are exact skill stats ever published?
No — the developer doesn't publish stat sheets. Treat any exact numbers found online as unverified and rank by observed impact instead.
