# Ability Points

Ability points are used to improve the [Hero Stats](/kepithor/kepithor-games/kk-heroes/hero-stats.md) of your Heroes. You earn ability points by fighting: 

* Each hero earns 1 AP for each enemy hero defeated (including defending, even while you are offline).
* When attacking you will receive a guaranteed 2 AP points to each of your equipped heroes. 

Ability points are reset at the end of the season.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Attacking heroes can receive up to 5 AP points each:**

* Up to 3 AP for killing enemy heroes (1 per Hero killed).
* 2 AP guaranteed for being the attacker.
