Baam didn't really use any specific techniques per se (at least in my view), he was just able to utilise the Arie style to counter Hoaqin (although his inherent abilities probably helped his cause a hell of a lot in terms of matching Hoaqin's level of skill). In Baam's case, it might be like you were saying: circumstantial.

Since we don't really know the logistics of Hoaqin's soul absorption powers, but taking Baam's soul-augmented performance into account, I assume (first assumption) that Hoaqin gains access to all the powers, abilities, skills, [contracts] and techniques of the soul(s) he consumes. Although (second assumption) whether he is able to utilise those same powers/abilities/skills/techniques to the same level of skill (and/or power) as the original user would be limited by Hoaqin's own skill; Baam wouldn't have said limiting factor because, well, he's Baam (oh yeah, and his natural shinsoo aptitude and all jazz).
