# Innate Points

Each chicken is born with a unique set of Innate Points (IP) that determine its natural aptitude in the seven stat categories: HP, Speed, Attack, Defense, Cockrage, Evasion, and Ferocity.

Innate points for each chicken are influenced by their parents' Innate points, with a range of **0 to 40** for each category.

For example: A chicken with high Innate Points in Attack will excel at dealing damage, while one with high Speed will attack more frequently.

* The total IP across all categories for a **Genesis** or **Legacy** chicken is **capped at 240.**
* **Ordinary chickens** produced through breeding will generate a **total IP between 0 to 280**, with 280 as the maximum to keep bred chickens within a controlled range.
* Half of a chicken’s Innate Points are instantly converted into battle stats, while the remaining half will have significance through chicken progression.
