Use this hub for technique-system searches that need official rules, NPC unlock context, and current Junkpits-era vocabulary without fake final-meta claims.
These rows answer the system query with direct source support before any player follows a guide video.
The official wiki says Techniques are equipped in the Techniques tab at a closet in Skills. It also says some are earned from quests or special NPC interactions, and it currently lists 22 techniques in game.
The official Lichenshire page says recruiting Boyle unlocks a requests board where players can exchange materials for new techniques.
The official Highway Son page says he teaches the Ivory Anklet technique after his boss route resolves at the Elite Barracks.
The official Guns page says techniques treat Guns and Pistols as separate compatibility buckets, which explains why some weapon-technique searches need a system page instead of a single weapon answer.
The official wiki now has direct June 30 pages for Corvid Kick and Cuckoo Charge. Corvid Kick unlocks from Boyle's Request Board after recruiting him to Lichenshire, while Cuckoo Charge is tied to the Request Board after defeating Killer Chicken.
The official Boyle page still says Magnetic Upheaval and Magnet Pulsar unlock by default on the Lichenshire Request Board, while Colossal Upheaval and Amber Aegis unlock after Witch of Ubh Dubh is defeated.
Search and video surfaces turned techniques into a real user-intent page, not just a note hidden under weapons.
Late-June YouTube titles like all new techniques, new Shredder videos, and current gun-technique phrasing prove live demand even when exact ranking claims stay outside the page.
Fresh route chatter repeatedly ties Boyle, Lichenshire, and current update weapons to technique searches, so the system hub is more useful than leaving the query scattered.
Current YouTube and search surfaces are already pairing Kitchen Knife, Corvid Kick, and Cuckoo Charge by exact name, so the hub now passes those searches into exact technique pages instead of leaving them buried in a broad system recap.
Current YouTube titles and Reddit posts are already using Colossal Upheaval as an exact build term, but the technique still lacks one clean direct official page for full standalone coverage.
These pages exist because the official wiki and exact-term search surfaces now support more than a generic hub mention.
Corvid Kick is a June 30 technique page breakout on the official wiki. The current source says Boyle's Request Board unlocks it after recruitment to Lichenshire, and it lists Swords and Light Bows as the compatible weapon groups.
Cuckoo Charge is now a direct official technique page. The official wiki says Boyle sets its Request Board job after Killer Chicken is defeated, and the page currently lists Fists, Daggers, and Great Bows as the compatible weapon families.
Open the exact page when the search is Corvid Kick itself, not just the broader Request Board system.
TechniqueUse the exact page when the query starts with Cuckoo Charge and the Killer Chicken clear requirement.
NPCUse Boyle when the technique question is really about the Lichenshire requests board.
BossOpen the exact boss page when the search intent is Highway Son or Ivory Anklet.
WeaponUse the exact weapon page when current technique chatter is really a Shredder query.
WeaponOpen Kitchen Knife when the technique query is really about the Killer Chicken drop and the new Cuckoo Rush loop.
Source watchUse the watch page when the exact technique name is hot but the direct official page and full standalone detail set are still missing.
Short answers for system rules, count, source boundaries, and where to go next.
Techniques are special abilities used by certain weapons. The official wiki says they are equipped from the Techniques tab at a closet in Skills.
The official Techniques page in this source pass says there are currently 22 techniques in game.
Current video demand is strong, but this route is designed to answer the system query without inventing unsupported rankings, unlock shortcuts, or balance claims.
Open Corvid Kick or Cuckoo Charge when the search is the exact technique name, use the Colossal Upheaval watch page when demand outruns the source layer, then use Boyle for Request Board context, Killer Chicken for the boss-clear gate, and the weapon pages when the query is really Kitchen Knife, Shredder, or Seer Smartgun.
