I think "secondary mechanic" would work best. The terms "unique" and "passive" each fall apart for a good chunk of them (the former being much more obvious with the newly separated page layout), and "gimmick" was already dismissed as imprecise and informal. However, all of these mechanics add a small, if often still important layer of complexity to the base fighter template, so I feel the term "secondary" is a good compromise.

:I'm into "secondary mechanic" with the new split too. That works better than "''unique'' mechanic" and clears up any confusion. ~ [[User:Serena Strawberry|<span style="color: #e68;">'''Serena Strawberry'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Serena Strawberry|talk]]) 03:04, December 4, 2019 (EST) | :I'm into "secondary mechanic" with the new split too.

This is part of why I never liked the idea of this page in the first place: there are no good names for it. They're not all "abilities" since some are "passive" (and vice versa), they're not all "unique" because some are shared, "secondary" implies that "primary" exists (what would that be?), and nobody seems to like the informality of "gimmick".
