Quirkborn ( My Hero Academia )

New quirks

Wukong line (4 stages, evolve-only)

None of these are rolled by the quirk spin. Each stage starts with a fresh level and skill tree, and the Ruyi Staff must be in the hotbar to use the evolve items.

1. Stone Monkey (Stage 1): comes from the Stone Egg (Shop, Evolution Materials). Moves are cast through the Ruyi Staff: Staff Combo, Staff Sweep, Ruyi Measure (Needle or Pillar size changes how the moves play), Stone Leap, and the Stone Skin passive.
2. Monkey King (Stage 2): evolved with the Demon King's Core, dropped by the Demon King Trial. Keeps the Stone Monkey kit and adds Hair Echo (golden clones that follow you and echo your skills and hits) and Monkey Swap.
3. Great Sage (Stage 3): evolved with the Peach of Immortality, won in the Havoc in Heaven trial. Adds Cloud Somersault, Golden Gaze and the first 36 of the 72 Forms.
4. Fighting Buddha (Stage 4): evolved with the Buddha's Relic, won in the Five Elements Mountain trial. Adds Five Elements Seal, Stillness, Pillar of Heaven, the Immortal Body passive and the remaining 36 forms. Hair Echo summons three clones at this stage.

Other evolved quirks

• Fire Dragon Slayer evolves from a level 50 Dragon using the Fire Dragon Scroll. It is a Natsu-style fire-eating brawler built around a FLAME meter, with claw combos, Tail Swipe, Talon Dive, Jaw Crush, Meteor Slam, Inferno Eruption, a Roar and a Dragon Force mode.
• Unbound Mind evolves from a level 50 Psychic Surge using the Unbound Mind Scroll. It runs on an EMOTION meter that ends in a BREAKOUT phase and then EXHAUSTION. Moves include Echo Marks, a steerable Mind Blast, Replay, Faultline, Bottle Up and Mood Swing.
• The Dragon quirk's visuals were reworked into a darker "Beast Dragon" look with no fire (violet, bone and silver).

Evolution system

• New Choose a Path menu: evolution scrolls open it and Unlock swaps the old quirk for its evolved form.
• New Shop section, Evolution Materials, where evolution items are crafted from vanilla items:
  • Fire Dragon Scroll: 3 Blaze Rods, 1 Magma Cream, 1 Magma Block
  • Unbound Mind Scroll: 8 Amethyst Shards, 2 Ender Pearls, 1 Echo Shard
  • Stone Egg is also sold from this section
• New particle-only evolution cutscene (about 5 seconds) with a palette per evolution, plus four scripted Wukong cutscenes with a camera and subtitle engine.
• Evolve items refuse to work, without being consumed, if the quirk or staff requirement is not met.

New trials, arenas and enemies

All three trials run in their own sealed hall, built for the trial and removed afterwards. Players who log off mid-trial are sent home. They are started from the KING / SAGE / BUDDHA tabs of the stage bar under the Skill Tree.

• Demon King's Court: Demon King Trial. Enemies: Bull Demon King, Demon Imp.
• Heavenly Peach Garden: Havoc in Heaven. Steal three peaches while a Heavenly Army attacks and Judgment Bolts mark the ground. Enemies: Heavenly Soldier, Celestial Archer, Heavenly General.
• Five Elements Mountain: wake five element seals (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth), then channel power into the staff to break out while boulders fall. Enemies: Mountain Spirit, Stone Guardian.
• Also new: the Hair Clone entity used by Hair Echo.
• Each enemy has its own model, texture, entity definition and spawn egg.

Items, cosmetics and rewards

• New items: Ruyi Staff (shaped recipe: gold ingot, sticks and iron ingot), Stone Egg, Demon King's Core, Peach of Immortality, Buddha's Relic, Fire Dragon Scroll and Unbound Mind Scroll.
• New wardrobe cosmetics: Great Sage Garb, Buddha's Halo, Hero Uniform and Villain Suit. The Hero Uniform or Villain Suit is added to the wardrobe automatically based on your chosen path.
• Evolving to Great Sage grants the Garb. Evolving to Fighting Buddha grants the Halo and the title The Monkey King.
• Many new hidden color-variant items for wing, Phoenix wing and Zephyr gear cosmetics (item count went from 1,268 to 1,687).
• All hero, villain, hide, paragon, raider, rescue and shadow armor attachables were updated.

Combat and balance

• Tier 4 raids now set boss health explicitly: Colossus 3,020, Rampager 2,370, Warden 2,630.
• Apex Core drop odds are unchanged (base 20%, rank bonus, pity after 4 kills).

UI

• New 72 Forms picker (a ring of 8 groups with Skill and Passive slots) opened from the skill tree.
• Each Great Sage and Fighting Buddha form is either a Skill (cast, with a cooldown) or a Passive (always on while equipped).
• New Choose a Path and evolution screens for Fire Dragon Slayer and Unbound Mind.
• New HUD sprites: stage pips, quirk frame and tick graphics, and evolution sprites.
