Tripod
CharacterSankyaku Kamehara stands on three legs instead of two. Tripod is exactly what the name promises, an extra limb seated between the usual pair, and it does the plain, useful job of keeping its owner upright where footing would otherwise fail.
Overview
Tripod is a Mutant Quirk of close-range classification, belonging to Sankyaku Kamehara and introduced in Chapter 45 of Team-Up Missions. It is one of the original abilities created for that spin-off rather than the main series.
Mechanics
The Quirk supplies a third leg, positioned between the other two. It behaves the way a third leg reasonably should, carrying weight and moving like the natural pair. Its clearest benefit is balance: on ground that would leave an ordinary person wobbling, the additional point of contact keeps the user steady.
