Promotion Abilities / 育成アビリティ, otherwise known as Nurture Abilities or Traits, are abilities that you can buy and then freely give or remove to flower knights. They were introduced following the 26th December 2016 update. You can get to the Promotion Abilities page from the Composition or Character Validation tabs of the Character Management page. A button at the bottom-left of the screen labeled Attach Promotion Ability / 育成アビリティ装着 or Acquire Promotion Ability / 育成アビリティ習得 will take you to the Promotion Abilities page.
As of Sep 2, 2019, Promotion Abilities were removed from the game and replaced by Flower Memories. At the same time, Sources of Ability Nurturing were replaced by Proofs of Pest Subjugation.

Equipping Promotion Abilities[]
Ability Equip Tab
In the Ability Equip / アビリティ装着 tab, you can equip flower knights with abilities you've bought. Equipped abilities are stored for a flower knight on a per-set basis, so the same girl could have one ability in a certain set and a different ability in another. The following interface elements are available.
- Your sets are selectable from the upper-left.
- The Whaleship sets can be accessed with the red button labeled Whaleship Composition Ability Equip / クジラ艇編成アビリティ装着.
- The Character Composition page can be returned to using the red button labeled To Character Composition / キャラ編成へ.
Selecting a Character's Ability
Click on a flower knight to see the abilities they can equip and their effects; abilities you have not bought are displayed with a gray background. After clicking on a character, the screen layout changes. Small chevrons appear below the party's attack and defense powers in order to allow you to move between parties in the same set. A filter becomes available where the sets used to be. The filter options are as follows.
- None / なし
- Not Acquired / 未習得
- Acquired / 習得済み
- Stage Effect / ステージ効果
- Battle Effect (Attack) / 戦闘効果（攻撃）
- Battle Effect (Defense) / 戦闘効果（防御）
