Control Resonant Aberrant Forms: All 6 Confirmed Weapon Forms
Every confirmed Aberrant form in Control Resonant — Slice, Slash, Flurry, Crush, Extend, and Drill — plus Combo Enders, talent trees, and Gap respecs.
What is the Aberrant?
The Aberrant is Dylan Faden’s paranatural weapon — an Object of Power that shapeshifts between melee forms mid-combat. A loadout is three pieces: a Primary Form, a Secondary Form, and a Combo Ender, each with its own talent tree. Hot-swapping between forms mid-combo is the core of the combat loop.
What are the six confirmed forms?
| Slot | Form | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Slice | Single-target focus with a backstab bonus |
| Primary | Slash | Wide sweeps and knockback for crowd work |
| Primary | Flurry | Fast hits with high crit uptime |
| Secondary | Crush | Slow, heavy, chargeable hammer blows |
| Secondary | Extend | Long reach with a perfect-charge reward |
| Secondary | Drill | Repeated stabs that stack a damage-over-time effect |
The Aberrant has also been seen manifesting as a hammer, dual blades, a scythe, fists, and a whip across previews — the named forms above are the confirmed loadout pieces as of September 16, pre-release.

How do you upgrade and respec the Aberrant?
Two layers: Aberrant Upgrades raise raw strength toward a cap of 100 (there’s a trophy for maxing it and another for maxing a single Form), while talent trees per form reshape how each plays. All of it is managed in the Gap — Dylan’s psychic headspace, reachable with down on the d-pad — and respeccing is free, so treat early talents as experiments.
Which forms pair well together?
Preview builds point to pairing a fast primary with a utility secondary: Flurry or Slash to build resources, then Drill or Crush for Falter damage and executions. Once abilities enter the mix — Heat Wave melts Mold armor that melee struggles with — form choice becomes a build decision rather than a preference. We’ll update this page with tested pairings after the September 24 launch.
