Each of the four playable characters have their own unique skill. These skills are shared with any DLC skins the characters themselves possess. Body Parts exclusive to a specific character increases the traits of their Skills.
| Skill | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|

Fires explosive spread-shot bullets at set intervals during his attacks. In addition, his Heat-up Rate decreases while his Cool-down Rate increases. Kaiser's unique skill allows him to pull out his secret weapon and fires additional explosive bullets. His skill also slows down overheating. |
When this skill is activated, any of the user's weapons will have their Heat Gauge drop back to 0. If a weapon is Overheated at the time of Skill activation, that weapon will instantly Cooldown. While the skill is active, the Heat-up gauge will lower extremely slowly but the weapon's Heat-up rate is slightly reduced. Also, when a weapon overheats during the Skill's duration, that weapon will have its Overheat timer cut in half.

Increases her speed and weapon attack power for a set amount of time. Harakiri's unique skill allows here to unseal the alien within her and increase her physical ability and weapon attack. |
The Pause Menu Game Guide refers to this Skill as Max Drive, while the loading hint names this Skill as MAX Strike. The latter's description also contains a minor error. In the Japanese version of the game, the loading tip's text can be translated as Max Alien Drive. |

Spawns mini turrets for temporary support. Turrets are destroyed when they take a certain amount of damage. HB's unique skill allows him to spawn mini turrets for temporary support. They are cute as they are destructive. |
When holding the Skill button, three placement markers appear. This displays where HB can place his Mini-Pandas at, being blue with a green arrow when a suitable placement is present, and fully gray when placement is impossible. If all three markers are grayed out, the Skill will not activate. Depending on placement, one, two, or three Mini-Pandas may be placed, and recharge time is the same regardless of how many Mini-Pandas were placed. Mini-Pandas will fire in the direction where HB was facing when they were initially placed and cannot be moved or rotated. Each Mini-Panda has its own Health and Attack power. Regardless of HP, they will disperse after a limited time has passed. These parameters can be increased using Body Parts. Mini-Pandas are fully solid, meaning they will block enemies and projectile fire from both player and enemy alike. Though difficult, it is possible to stand on top of a Mini-Panda. Each time Hungry Beast activates his Skill, he regains a small portion of Health at the end of his placement. Health gain appears equivalent to using a Bomb Charger. |
 |
Spits out a wormhole that deals damage to enemies. The wormhole also sucks in and immobilizes small enemies. Gentleman's unique skill allows him to vomit out a wormhole that sucks in multiple small enemies at once. |
The Micro Black Hole will damage any enemy close to its core. The Micro Black Hole will attract any humanoid and MiniBug enemies nearby, sucking them in. It is possible for Ninja-Type Fiends to attempt and escape the suction due to their speedy attacks. The Micro Black Hole will not suck up large enemies but can still damage them via direct contact. Skill Cooldown begins once the Black Hole fully disperses.
