{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Combat Actions are covered further on the [Combat Actions](/emerald-ai-wiki/emerald-profiles-and-objects/combat-action-object.md) section of the Emerald AI Wiki. This section briefly covers Combat Actions, but is more about applying them to an AI.

By default, there are no Combat Actions assigned to an AI. Users can add them by opening the Combat Actions foldout, pressing the + button, enabling the Combat Action element, and assigning a Combat Action from one of the ones included.&#x20;
