He is the only New Generation Rider in the series whose Genesis Driver has a transformation announcement that says more than just "Soda! Energy Arms!" similar to the Armored Riders' Sengoku Drivers. Chronologically, he's the first Armored turned New Generation Rider to use an upgraded version of their primary normal Lockseed afterwards. Takatora was the first before Ryoma by production.
Like the Armored Riders and his fellow New Generation Riders, Kamen Rider Duke's forms are called Arms. His Genesis Driver announces Soda before every transformation. By pushing the Genesis Driver's Seaboll Compressor into the Energy Lockseed after transforming from one to two times, Duke can activate one of two finishing moves based on his current Arms form: Squash or Sparking. In addition to the Genesis Driver's finishing moves, Duke can perform a Sonic Volley finishing attack by inserting an Energy Lockseed into the Energy Drive Bay of his Sonic Arrow.

Duke Genetic Ride Wear

- The Genetic Ride Wear is Duke's default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Duke's transformation sequence before the Armor Part attaches.
