[[Charges]] ~~(or Ability Charges),~~ are stored uses of [[Hero]] [[Ability|abilities]]. When an ability with charges is used, ~~it will deplete one of its charges~~. When it an ability ~~has ran~~ out of charges, it cannot be used until ~~more are accrued~~.

[[Charges]] are stored uses of [[Hero]] [[Ability|abilities]]. When an ability with charges is used, a single charge is consumed. When an ability runs out of charges, it cannot be used again until the next charge is ready.

An ability with charges is displayed with a smaller bar above it. The bar's segments represent the number of charges. A white segment represents a usable charge, a purple partially-filled segment represents a charge that is being restored, and a grey segment represents a fully expended charge.

After using a charge there is a cooldown preventing immediate use of another charge. This cooldown varies by ability and is not affected by [[Cooldown Reduction|cooldown reduction]], but is affected by items with a Faster Time Between Charges effect, such as {{ItemIcon|Rapid Recharge}}.

== Restoring Charges ==

Line 6:

Line 10:

Charges are restored one at a time, not all at once.

Some abilities do not replenish with time and instead use other conditions to gain a charge. For example {{HeroIcon|Wraith}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Card Trick}} gains a charge when she deals damage to enemies.

== Maximum Charges ==

[[File:Maximum Charges on Ability Upgrades.png|thumb|[[Infernus]]' ~~[[Infernus#(1)_Catalyst~~|~~catalyst ability]]~~ upgrades, the first upgrade ~~being to increase~~ the number of charges the ability has.]]

[[File:Maximum Charges on Ability Upgrades.png|thumb|{{HeroIcon|Infernus}}' {{AbilityIcon|Napalm}} upgrades, the first upgrade increases the number of charges the ability has.]]

Abilities with charges can store up to a maximum number of them. Each ability has its own default maximum amount.

== Bonus Ability Charges ==

[[File:Bonus Ability Charges.png|thumb|{{HeroIcon|Shiv}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Serrated Knives}} with (right) and without (left) {{ItemIcon|Rapid Recharge}} granting additional charges.]]

[[Bonus Ability Charges]] grant charged [[Ability|abilities]] with additional uses before needing to wait for their cooldown, and are gained from [[Items|items]] purchased in the [[Shop|shop]].

Bonus ability charges cannot be added to [[Ability|abilities]] that do not already use charges.
