# Types of Spells

## Introduction 

A major part of understanding the combat system in Kryptomon is learning the 4 different types of spells. Each Kryptomon will have access to <mark style="color:yellow;">5 spells slots</mark> which they will fill with spells from their main or secondary family before battle. These spells include <mark style="color:orange;">1 physical attack</mark>, <mark style="color:red;">1 defensive spell</mark>, <mark style="color:purple;">2 elemental spells</mark>, and <mark style="color:green;">1 ultimate spell</mark>! Its important to understand the classification of spells as many buffs/debuffs in the game affect certain spell categories!

## &#x20;<mark style="color:orange;">Physical Attack</mark>

The bread and butter of every Kryptomon found in the first spell slot. <mark style="color:orange;">Physical attacks</mark> will set the tempo of the game and generate resources for more powerful attacks.

## <mark style="color:red;">Defensive Spell</mark>

<mark style="color:red;">Defensive spells</mark> occupy the second spell slot and provide trainers a defensive option to reduce the amount of damage their Kryptomon will receive the next turn! More specifics on Kryptomon defensive spells can be found in the [<mark style="color:blue;">spell library</mark>](https://academy.kryptomon.co/the-kryptomon-academy-1/kmon-genesis/kmon-genesis-battles/spell-library)! &#x20;

## <mark style="color:purple;">Elemental Spells</mark>

<mark style="color:purple;">Elemental spells</mark> occupy the 3rd and 4th spell slot. From birth your Kryptomon will know a basic <mark style="color:purple;">elemental spell</mark> but if you wish to cast more powerful <mark style="color:purple;">elemental spells</mark>, you will need to train your Kryptomons talent in the respected family of the spell you wish to unlock! Mastery of <mark style="color:purple;">elemental spells</mark> and synergy is essential to be victorious in Genesis!    \ <br>

## <mark style="color:green;">Ultimate Spell</mark>

<mark style="color:green;">Ultimate spells</mark> are the most powerful spells in the game and are categorized differently from <mark style="color:purple;">elemental spells</mark> due to their sheer power! Be careful to never left your Kryptomon be hit by a [<mark style="color:blue;">elemental efficient</mark>](https://academy.kryptomon.co/the-kryptomon-academy-1/kmon-genesis/kryptomon-battles-101#elemental-efficiency) ultimate spell! This will occupy the 5th spell slot in your attack bar and can be used to close out games in a flash!&#x20;
