In Red Alert 3 and its expansion Uprising, each unit has a special have special unit-specific moves that range from alternate weapons, hitting enemies with a debilitating effect, or even transforming into an entirely different unit. Units generally have a primary ability and a special ability that is either targeted against enemies, an instant effect once activated, or the ability to toggle between primary and special abilities. Most special abilities do not cost resources per use (although some do), but all require a cool-down period before they can be used again.
