Fought with an unweighted, but casual GokuDragon Ball Chapter 176) | Planet level (Easily defeated a Saibamen) | Planet level (Not too far behind Krillin at this time), higher with Shin Kikōhō (Managed to pin Semi-Perfect Cell down by continuously using the attack, but this badly drained and nearly killed him) | At least Planet level (Superior to his Android Saga self), higher with Shin Kikōhō (Capable of briefly distracting Buutenks) | At least Large Star level (Managed to destroy a good chunk of the Kachi Katchin arena, which should make him far stronger than Buu Saga Base Gohan, who was unable to destroy regular Katchin), higher with Shin Kikōhō

Stamina: Superhuman (Tien was able to match Goku in a very drawn-out battle during the 22nd Budokai, in which he took a lot of punishment, but his most powerful technique, the Kikoho, rapidly drains his ki and can even leave him near-death if he overuses it)

Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Gifted in combat (As the prized student of the Crane School, Tien Shinhan is an incredibly skilled martial artist, a peer of Goku's during their first fight in the 22nd Budokai. Intelligent and analytical, Tien is a cunning fighter who makes clever use of his many techniques in combat, on top of his sheer skill. His aptitude for ki techniques is sufficiently enough for Tien to replicate the ki-based abilities of others, using them for himself)
Weaknesses: The Multi-Form technique divides Tien's strength between his four copies, and the Kikoho rapidly drains his ki, to the point that, if he overuses it, it will leave him near-death. The Mafuba requires a container for its use.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Ki Attacks=
The fighting power and life force of a martial artist, a tangible energy derived from the user's vigor, courage, and mind. It can be used in a number of ways, such as to surpass the limits of one's body to greatly increase in strength, and it can be fired as blasts of energy or used to create defensive barriers. The greatest student of the Crane School, Tien proved himself a skilled user of ki from an early age, excelling in his martial studies and in the use of ki, showing the ability to quickly replicate the ki-based abilities of others after seeing them in action.
*Dodon Ray: The signature technique of the Crane School, a superheated beam of ki that Tien fires from a fingertip, piercing his opponent's body. It is apparently stronger than the Kamehameha and requires less time to charge.
*Four Witches Technique: A technique utilized by the Three-Eyed Clan, which allows them to grow an extra pair of arms from their back, using these arms to increase the intensity of their attacks.
*Kamehameha: The signature technique of the Turtle School, which Tien copied from Yamcha after their fight. Charged and fired with both hands, it is a simple but powerful technique.
*Kiai: The ability to project an invisible burst of force with ki, which Tien can perform with his hands and even with a shout, a technique powerful enough to distort and reflect ki-based attacks.
*Kikōhō: Also known as Chi-Kung-Pao, this is Tien Shinhan's ultimate attack, which he fires through a diamond-shaped opening made with his hands. Though it has immense power, each usage of the technique depletes Tien's ki substantially, and overusing it will leave him on the brink of death.
*Multi-Form: Using this technique, Tien Shinhan can split himself into four duplicates, though each only has a fourth of the original's power. However, it is still quite useful and can be used for simultaneous barrages of powerful attacks.
*Solar Flare: One of Tien Shinhan's signature techniques, which is executed by bringing his hands up to his face, creating a bright flash of light that can blind opponents.
|-|Other Techniques=
*Mafuba: Also known as the Evil Containment Wave, the Mafuba is a mystic sealing technique designed to seal evil away by sucking them into a special container with a "demon seal" ofuda on it.
