# 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.
