# Mass Pet Skill
By gathering in groups, pet owners can receive the "***Pet Combine***" buff from their pets.
Pets of the same species but different specializations, such as Fire I and Fire II, count as one pet in the group.
You can see which pets are in the squad on the panel "***Members of the squad*****"** *key **N***

Skill ***Pet Merge*** is massive for a group (but no more than 30 players) and lasts 5 minutes.
You can find it in the tab "***Pet active skills***" (Button ***K***) at the leader of the group.

The skill affects the following characteristics:
* Melee/Ranged/Magic Damage Increase
* Increase evasion in melee/ranged/magic combat

* Pet associations 2 lvl. given for 3 different types of pets in the squad
* Pet associations 3 lvl. given for 4 different types of pets in the squad
* Pet associations 4 lvl. given for 5 different types of pets in the squad
* Pet associations lvl 5 given for 6 different types of pets in the squad
