All 15 Beyond Nen Nen Abilities by Category

Every named ability

By category, briefly

Enhancement is the most straightforward pool: Jajanken, Big Bang Impact, Ripper Cyclotron and Super Attack all convert aura into close-range force. If your first roll lands here, you can play the game you were already playing, harder.

Transmutation is the highest-variance pool. Godspeed is a Mythical and Earth Sludge a Common, and the two do not resemble each other. Godspeed is also the one ability with a documented cross-system effect: it reportedly gives Killua’s yoyos lightning attributes.

Emission covers ranged pressure — Arrow at Legendary, Fan Beam with no published rarity. This is the pool that matters most in arena fights and on Zevil Island, where keeping distance is survival.

Conjuration is build-around: Crazy Slots at Extraordinary and Toolbox at Uncommon imply tools and situational options rather than raw damage.

Manipulation covers control — Paper Manipulation at Legendary and Enchanting Music at Rare.

Specialization appears in guides for unusual, conditional abilities: Aura Corruption and Boost. It is not confirmed whether Specialization can be rolled or is tied to a lineage or pass, so treat it as a bonus if your ability lands there.

How you get one

The ability itself is a quest reward, not a purchase:

1. Unlock the Nen questline — level 10 with the Librarian, or the Hunter License route. Both are covered in how to get Nen.
2. Complete the meditation step with a Meditation Mat and T.
3. Return to Rohan for a random ability, which opens the technique wheel on E.

Because the roll is random, mastery investment is the real decision. Transmutation Mastery and Emission Mastery are two named skill tree gates, and they only pay off inside their category.
