Primary skills cost 6 SPP and secondary skills cost 12 SPP, with no stat increases allowed. There is no limit on skill types except for Elite skills, which are capped at four of each type. A second Primary on the same player is allowed and counts as a selected Primary for a total of 14 SPP, but you cannot stack a Primary and a Secondary on one player, and you cannot add skills to Star Players. Stars cost an additional 12 SPP beyond their fee, while Mega Stars such as Griff Oberwald, Hakflem Skuttlespike, H’Thark the Unstoppable, Ivan Deathshroud, Morg ’n’ Thorg, Dribl and Drull, Grak and Crumbleberry, Jeremiah Kool and Jordell Freshbreeze cost 24 SPP, and only one Mega Star is allowed.
