There is no general limit on the number of skills that can be acquired for the team, as long as individual player restrictions and the available budget are respected.
Skill costs are as follows:
Discounted Skills
The following skills can be acquired at a reduced cost. A single team player with Primary access to one of these skills may acquire one of them for 10,000 gold pieces.
The skill acquired through this discount cannot be part of a stacked skill combination.
The skills available at a discount are:
The discount can only be used once per team and only on a player with Primary access to the selected skill.
Stacking Skills
A player can have a maximum of two Primary skills acquired.
For a player to have two Primary skills, the normal cost of both skills must be paid, plus an additional cost of 30,000 gold pieces.
Therefore, a player with two Primary skills must pay:
Some teams will have one or several players who can have two Primary skills without needing to pay this additional surcharge. This advantage is called Free Stack.
Teams that have Free Stack can use it on the number of players indicated in their configuration.
They may also have other players with two Primary skills, as long as they pay the additional surcharge of 30,000 gold pieces.
Star Players
Only teams that are expressly allowed to include Star Players may do so.
The inclusion of a Star Player must respect the usual hiring rules and the restrictions specifically established for the Magellan Cup.
In addition to the normal cost of the Star Player within the team budget, an additional cost must be paid using Skill Gold.
The additional cost depends on the Star Player's value:
Teams that can include between zero and two Star Players cannot exceed 300,000 gold pieces in the total combined value of both Star Players.
The additional cost must be paid individually for each Star Player hired.
If two rival coaches have included the same Star Player on their respective teams, both may use it during their match.
There will be a specific list of Star Players not allowed in the Magellan Cup.
Teams
Below are the budgets, Skill Gold, number of Free Stack, and Star Player availability for each race.
