Range: Standard Melee Range; Hundreds of Meters with StormFlower
Standard Equipment: StormFlower (Bladed dual automatic pistols), Li Ren's Dagger
Intelligence: Above Average (Ren is a very capable fighter, able to hold his own against powerful Grimm such as a King Taijitu both armed and unarmed. He is also a highly skilled marksman, able to accurately hit a target even while moving and performing acrobatic maneuvers. He demonstrates a greater control over his Aura than most, and often displays the ability to incorporate this into his fighting style.)
Weaknesses: Continual use of his Aura will cause it to decay to the point where he can be left open to more significant damage. Aura's durability is cumulative; it will deplete with each attack he takes and can be brought down by characters of similar strength. Semblances drain Aura by a small amount and without it they cannot be used until it is recharged. Constant exposure to extreme temperature can drain the user's Aura.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
* StormFlower: Lie Ren's signature weapon, StormFlower, consists of a pair of concealable automatic handguns equipped with collapsible blades and extended magazines. The blades are incredibly strong and sharp, able to pierce through tough material such as the bone in a King Taijitu's skull. Ren can even use his weapons as boomerangs by throwing them as he did with one during the battle against the Geist.
* Tranquility: Ren's Semblance masks negative emotions, which aids him in avoiding detection by Grimm. When his Semblance activates, he or the affected person's colors become temporarily desaturated to at least the viewer. Ren can also channel this ability through the ground to reach those from a distance. In Atlas, his Semblance has been upgraded. He can now see the emotions of others in the form of colors, which allows him to distinguish their true feelings. He can also sense emotions from a long distance.
* Warp Strike: Ren quickly dashes from enemy to enemy performing palm strikes along the way.
* Cyclone: Ren spins diagonally, firing his guns while slashing enemies before knocking them away.
* Aura Charge: Ren strikes the surrounding enemies with a powerful Aura pulse, stunning them.
