Quirk Mechanics

Last updated: September 2026Status reflects current development, not final design

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.

In-game command names for managing your quirk will be documented here once confirmed for the live build.
