Quirk Mechanics
What a quirk is
Each quirk is a predetermined skill set with its own attacks, utilities, passives, resources, and progression. Ability unlocks occur as you level and do not consume stat tokens.
Attributes
Quirk abilities can be affected by attributes including damage, range, cooldown, duration, area drain, healing, knockback, projectile speed, maximum charges, flight speed, shields, and other quirk-specific values.
Quirk-disabling effects
Quirk-disabling effects prevent affected quirk abilities from being used. Physical Innate Techniques are separate from quirks and are intended to remain usable against effects such as Erasure.
Obtaining quirks
Quirks can be obtained directly, through Quirk Keys, or by collecting quirk-specific fragments. Sixteen matching fragments can be combined into a syringe containing that quirk. Keys and fragments may be earned through gameplay, bosses, rewards, crates, and special events.
Key types
- Quirk Keys — the standard key.
- Apex Quirk Keys — a higher-tier key.
- Plus Ultra quirks — exceptionally rare.
Same quirk, multiple players
Quirks function independently for each player, even when several players use the same one. In Ultra Rumble, each team may only have one player using a given quirk.
