     exactly which version you picked.

There are 2 main ways to inherit techs:

1. If the Target/Baby main breed matches Parent 1 main breed:
   • The Target/Baby will inherit a number of random techs equal to 60% of/from Parent 1's learned techs - minus Specials and 2 starting basics.
     (Omit Special techs & 2 starting basic techs to determine 60% of the remaining number of techs).

2. If the Target/Baby main breed does not match Parent 1 main breed:
   • The Target/Baby can inherit a tech, up to 1 of each tech type (1 heavy, 1 sharp, 1 hit, 1 wither etc.) belonging to the Baby main breed.
   • These will be the 1st priority tech from the errantry of the tech type learned.

Other considerations:

• Parent 1 is the only monster considered when passing down techs.
• If a Tech is inherited, the number of times it was used is also inherited.
• If a tech is not inherited, the number of uses reverts to 0.
• If a later move in a Tech Chain is Inherited, the previous move can be attached. This is counted towards the number of inherited techs.
  • (This does not perpetuate; if you learn the 3rd tech in a chain it will inherit the 2nd automatically, but this does not trigger the 1st move being learned. It is possible to learn one additional tech during combining if the last tech acquired included an attached chained tech.)
• Bonus Techs? If the very last tech inherited is a later move in a Tech Chain, and the previous tech has not already been inherited, you can inherit the previous move of that chain as well, bumping you up to the maximum amount of inheritable techs +1.
• Inherited techs are randomized per each tech, so you can re-combine to try for an optimal tech set.
• Cross-over techs cannot be inherited.
• Special techs cannot be inherited.
• You can inherit a learned/qualifying tech from a parent regardless of the Baby's starting stats or nature.
