Which skills does it have?
These are the eight skills only HR can draw. They turn up on level-up cards more than twice as often as shared ones. Numbers are at rank 5 with no bonuses, and a skill with a partner listed can evolve once you own that passive at rank 5.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wellness Program | Zone | 5.9 | The Snack Drawer → Pizza Party | A zone that heals you and hurts anything else standing in it. There is pizza. |
