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.
The official Monday, August 3, 2026 Magnet Pulsar page now uses Magnet Pulsar for Boyle's Gravity Flux request at the Lichenshire technique board, while older public references and the current Steeped Scale page still surface Magnet Pulser as the older spelling.
The official Friday, July 17, 2026 Colossal Upheaval page now confirms the exact technique article, its Boyle Request Board unlock in Lichenshire after Witch of Ubh Dubh, and its current compatibility with Mauls, Axes, Boulderblades, and Oxide Longsword.
The official Elite Guard page says Kyle gives the technique at the Elite Knight Barracks when the player reaches Master rank in the Elite Knights guild, and that the technique works with shields rather than one single weapon family.
The official Boom Shells page says Boyle rewards the technique after Unconventional Weapons in Cloud City, once Scholar of the Serpent is complete, and the current Techniques table still lists Squid Blaster as its compatible weapon.
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, and the new official page now lets the site promote the query into a standalone technique route instead of a watch-only page.
Current search, YouTube, and Reddit surfaces are still treating Elite Guard as an exact shield-build and parry-setup query, which is why the site now needs a direct technique page instead of burying it inside general guild copy.
Current search, YouTube, and community reference surfaces still call out Boom Shells by exact name, which is enough public demand to justify a direct technique page instead of hiding the term inside Boyle or Squid Blaster mentions.
Current search surfaces now resolve Magnet Pulsar by exact name, while Magnet Pulser still appears in older public phrasing, so the hub needs a direct exact page that explains which name the current official source actually uses.
These pages exist because the official wiki and exact-term search surfaces now support more than a generic hub mention.
Morline is a permanent movement upgrade unlocked through Betsy's quest path. The checked source describes a grappling-style movement function, while current player discussion uses Morline for mobility, gap crossing, aerial recovery, and combo routing; exact advanced techniques remain community-reported rather than guaranteed mechanics.
Magnetic Upheaval has a dedicated official-wiki page. The reviewed packet connects the technique with Push/Pull behavior and magnet-material questions.
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.
Boom Shells is a weapon-specific technique that the official July 10, 2026 page says comes from Boyle's Unconventional Weapons quest after Scholar of the Serpent. The official page and current Techniques table both say it is compatible with Squid Blaster, costs 50 mana, and can launch the player backward when used mid-air, which is enough exact-source support for the current technique-build demand.
Colossal Upheaval now has a direct official page checked on Friday, July 17, 2026. The official page says Boyle's Request Board in Lichenshire unlocks it after Witch of Ubh Dubh, and the current technique tables plus Reddit and YouTube build chatter now make the exact name safer as a standalone route than as a watch-only page.
Magnet Pulsar now has its own direct official page, checked on Monday, August 3, 2026. The current source-of-record uses Magnet Pulsar for Boyle's Gravity Flux request at the Lichenshire technique board, while older public references and the Steeped Scale page still surface Magnet Pulser, so the exact route now exists to resolve the naming split without inventing extra build claims.
Elite Guard is a technique the official wiki says Kyle gives at the Elite Knight Barracks when the player reaches Master rank in the Elite Knights guild. The same page says it works with all weapons, changes shield blocking behavior, and grants Elite Rally, which is enough exact-source support for the current guard-build and setup demand.

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 Magnet Pulsar, Colossal Upheaval, Boom Shells, Elite Guard, Corvid Kick, or Cuckoo Charge when the search is the exact technique name, then use Boyle or Elite Knights for the unlock parent before switching into weapon or build pages.
