</tabber>
Attack Potency: At least Large Town level+, likely Small Country level+ normally (Easily above the likes of Tager and Bang, the former can generate this much force of energy. Superior to Mai and Meifang, the latter of whom survived the destructive power of Take-Mikazuchi), Large Planet level with the Azure Grimoire and IDEA Engine (By releasing their restrictions, Ragna becomes strong enough to take on and defeat 20% Hakumen and Terumi in Hazama's body, who's able to take on Hades Izanami, who can generate this much energy), Low Complex Multiverse level via death (As the Central Fiction, should Ragna die, all of existence would vanish by Amaterasu) | Small Country level+ normally (Traded blows with Take-Mikazuchi and a restricted Azrael), Large Planet level with the Azure Grimoire and the IDEA Engine, Low Complex Multiverse level via death | Large Planet level (Can keep up with Izanami and Nine), Low Complex Multiverse level via death | Large Planet level (The Black Beast is regarded as one of the most powerful beings in the series, being comparable to Izanami. When Ragna was on the verge of transforming into the Black Beast, he became powerful enough to nearly kill Central Fiction Jin with collateral damage), Low Complex Multiverse level via death | Low Complex Multiverse level ( Amaterasu. The True Azure is acknowledged as the most powerful force in the series, with Amaterasu being inferior to it, the same god who's far beyond gods and beings who can control the Boundary, a realm that transcends the Blazblue Multiverse). Able to ignore conventional durability in variety of ways.
Speed: At least FTL (Far faster than Tager, who can keep up with Tsubaki with the Izayoi, a weapon that's stated to use actual light to amp the user in numerous ways.) Infinite with the Azure Grimoire (Was capable of keeping up with 20% Hakumen and Hazama with his Azure Grimoire) | At least FTL, possibly Infinite (Can keep up with Nu-13 in a fight on multiple occasions) | Infinite (Can traverse the entire Boundary with no issues, which is stated to be infinite in size) | Infinite (Is far superior than before) | Unknown, likely Omnipresent (Became possibilities itself)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 5, likely Class T. Class T with Burst | Class T | Class T | Class T | Unknown, likely Immeasurable
Striking Strength: At least Large Town level+, likely Small Country level+ normally, Large Planet level with the Azure Grimoire and IDEA Engine | Small Country level+ normally, Large Planet level with the Azure Grimoire and IDEA Engine | Large Planet level | Large Planet level | Unknown
Durability: At least Large Town level+, likely Small Country level+ normally, Large Planet level with the Azure Grimoire and IDEA Engine | Small Country level+ normally, Large Planet level with the Azure Grimoire and IDEA Engine | Large Planet level | Large Planet level | Low Complex Multiverse level. Abstract Existence, Nonexistent Physiology and Incorporeality nature, Immortality, Resurrection and Regeneration make him near impossible to kill.
Stamina: Superhuman (Fights whole armies without tiring, and can take multiple stab wounds and lose his arm and still stand up. Limitless with Blazblue and Black Beast)
Range: Extended Melee Range with Blood-Scythe, at least Tens of Kilometers with energy attacks. Low Complex Multiversal with the Black Beast's power (Was able to send Noel to the Gate of the Azure, which is in the deepest ends of the Boundary) | Low Complex Multiversal
Standard Equipment:
*Aramasa: Also known as Blood-Scythe, it is a blade made out of metal that can turn into scythe. Its strikes can be imbued with Soul Eater, making it an extremely useful weapon.
*Azure Grimoire: Azure Grimoire is an inferior imitation of the real BlazBlue. The so-called "Strongest Grimoire", the wielder of this weapon is feared by many. The Grimoire gives the user ability to absorb souls to replenish their health, either by aura or contact. Grimoire can absorb objects and dreams as well and also has nullification mechanism, such as nullifying a barrier in Remix Heart when Mai had the Azure.
*IDEA Engine: An IDEA Engine is an imitation of Nox Nyctores with few differences. One of it is that it is powered by nuclear energy, unlike Nox Nyctores which is powered by souls. An IDEA Engine also has much more unstable resistance to Phenomenon Intervention, unlike Nox Nyctores which has lot more stable resistance.
*True BlazBlue: Also known as Book of the Blue Blaze, it us a Grimoire that has the power of true Azure, giving the user ability to reshape reality at will. Anyone who acquires it will become an existence superior than Amaterasu, overriding her reality easily.
Intelligence: Above Average; an expert in combat, though he usually doesn't strategize unless it is necessary, preferring to leave such to others. Nigh-omniscient while having the True BlazBlue.
Weaknesses: Ragna is short-tempered and easily provoked, though this only applies up to Continuum Shift, as he managed to control himself during Chronophantasma.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Drive: Soul Eater: As Ragna was born without a drive, his Azure Grimoire bestows upon him the drive Soul Eater. Soul Eater allows his seithr-based attacks to marr the opponent's soul itself, feeding upon it to restore his own vitality. The Azure Grimoire itself functions like a cauldron, giving Ragna a virtually infinite supply of seithr.
*Hell's Fang: Dashes forward, delivering a black seithr-infused punch, he can follow this through with a stream of seithr in the shape of one of the Black Beast's heads forward.
*Inferno Divider: Ragna performs an uppercutting slash sword hilt first, knocking his opponent into the air. He can follow it up with further uppercuts, punches, and slamming his opponent to the ground.
*Gauntlet Hades: Ragna jumps, then delivers an overhead strike of two whirling, black seithr-infused hammer fists to his opponent. He can follow this attack with a kick.
*Dead Spike: Ragna swings his sword upward along the ground, creating a rolling wave of dark seithr on the ground, it resembling one of the Black Beast's heads. In some cases, this attack can simply manifest as a large spike in front of him, shaped like one of the Black Beast's head, instead of a rolling wave. When his Grimoire is activated, he creates a much larger spike, and can follow it up with another seithr strike similar to the followup from Hell's Fang, albeit larger. He then can finish it with a sword slam sending a massive wave of dark seithr onto his opponent.
*Blood Scythe: Ragna leaps forward, then extends his sword into a scythe to perform an overhead swing on his opponent. Can be done while in the air.
*Not Over Yet: Grabs a prone opponent, holds them in the air, and delivers a punch to their gut.
*Belial Edge: Ragna brandishes his sword, then performs a diagonal attack bladefirst, hitting multiple times.
*Nightmare Edge: Drags out his sword from above his leading shoulder, falling straight down from above with both hands on the sword for a slamming slash of darkness, with Ragna swinging the blade behind himself upon landing. Can follow through with an additional blow that sends a wave of energy.
*Carnage Scissors: Performs a very fast, dashing reverse-grip sword slam, then releases two crossing spikes of dark energy (hence the name "scissors") from slashing the ground with his sword in reverse-grip.
*Devoured by Darkness: Ragna's hand turns into a claw of the Black Beast as he snatches the opponent, lifts them up over his head and bombards them with dark tendrils, finishing with an explosion of darkness.
*Darkness Fang: Can only be used while his Grimoire is active. Ragna dashes forward with a seithr infused punch. If he manages to hit the opponent, he will then grab them, holding them in the air and creating an explosion of darkness.
*Inferno Eradicator: Can only be used while his Grimoire is active. Ragna performs an upward swing, then performs an enhanced version of Inferno Divider, hitting the opponent multiple times and sending them up into the air.
*Black Onslaught: Ragna unleashes the power of his Azure Grimoire. After a short charge-up period, performs a reverse-grip upward swing. If it connects, Ragna goes berserk, unleashing a massive combo of brutal scythe swings before transforming the Blood-Scythe into a black hole-like void of darkness that rips an opponent apart; to conclude the attack, Ragna reclaims his sword and performs one final stab that causes the target's physical form to disintegrate into nothing and completely annihilates their soul, leaving only a trail of black seithr feathers floating in the air.
Note: Ragna's True BlazBlue Key shouldn't be used in VS battles because of the fact that he is unlikely to fight or even have it's own consciousness at this form.
