- Power Nullifier: Used the Hypnosis Canceller to tamper with their opponent's mics and win their way to the Division Rap Battle.
- Took a Level in Badass: Zig-zagged. North Bastard used to be an unremarkable team that suddenly started getting win after win, eventually going up against Buster Bros!!! themselves.

As MAD TRIGGER CREW got rid of the device, Buster Bros!!! wiped the floor with them.
