As the God of Sleep, Hypnos has the ability to put their opponents in a state of eternal sleep leaving them defenseless and vegetative. He can also take their opponents for the World of Dreams (Yumekai) that is ruled by him and his sons, the god of dreams. He can also manipulate the dreams and nightmares of his victims when they are in a state of eternal sleep. It can be argued whether he is the stronger of the twins, as he prefers a more subtle and passive way to attack his opponents by manipulating dreams and reality instead of using the aggressive means of his brother.
*Eternal Drowsiness (エターナルドラウジネス, Etānaru Doraujinesu, the English "Eternal Drowsiness") Hypnos concentrates his cosmos, raising his right arm in the air, on the same axis while his left arm is pointing to the ground. An area of ​​darkness is created and places Hypnos and his victims into a sort of limbo, where the enemy falls unconscious plunged into an eternal sleep.
*Another Encounter With Reality (エンカウンタアナザーフィールド, Enkaunta Anaza Firudo, the English "Encounter Another Field"): Only appears on Lost Canvas. Hypnos takes his opponents to the World of Dreams. There, Hypnos has total control over minds and bodies. Imprisoning enemies within dreams, delusions, and nightmares. Hypnos is capable of manifesting any and all dreams such as, but not limited to, altering the environment or creating hazards. While the dreams do not appear real, the damage they inflict is indeed real. This technique is very dangerous because of its almost unlimited potential.
