# Breeding Pairs & Requirements

CAThletes are genderless, so players can breed <mark style="background-color:yellow;">**any two CAThletes they own**</mark>. Yet <mark style="background-color:red;">**only NFT**</mark> characters are eligible for breeding, that is level **6-15 CAThletes**. Moreover, it is perfectly possible to <mark style="background-color:yellow;">**breed CAThletes of different levels**</mark> (*but no less than level 6*).

Each CAThlete can engage in breeding *a limited number of times*, with the next breeding getting **more expensive** than the previous one. The number of times a CAThlete has engaged in breeding versus the total number of breedings it can take part in is indicated by its <mark style="background-color:red;">**Breed Count**</mark> (*you may check it following these steps: open Collectibles Screen — tap CAThletes — scroll to Statistics box*). Once all the available breedings from the Breed Count are used, the CAThlete **can no longer be selected for breeding**.&#x20;

The total number of available breedings is **determined by the rarity** and **can not be changed**; the higher the rarity, the more breedings are available for a CAThlete. <mark style="background-color:yellow;">Currently the max breed counts per rarity are as follows:</mark>

* common: 3;&#x20;
* uncommon: 4;&#x20;
* rare: 5;&#x20;
* epic: 6;&#x20;
* legendary: 7.&#x20;

> Please note that a CAThlete coming from breeding is not an NFT by default. If you choose to have it minted, the comission is 0.05 SOL.
