Intelligence: Above Average, Gifted in combat. Shuka has above average intelligence overall and is a good student, but she shines in combat, capable of adapting to her environment or situation (inside a train station, in an underground mall, on a cruise ship, inside dark tunnels, at night, etc). She was even praised as a "combat genius" by Liu Xuelan, an expert assassin. She can quickly analyze her opponent's strengths and exploit their weaknesses, as well as come up with tactics mid-fight, or find ways to destabilize them (like when she humiliated and mutilated One to the point she caused him fear, or dispatched a squad of Sigil users by herself during the Treasure Hunt arc). She's skilled at manipulating her arsenal for both attack and defense, often at the same time, and doesn't even require direct line of sight to deal with her opponents. In combat, she has no qualms playing dirty to win, whether it's luring her opponents into traps or false hope, taunting them, or using any object in her vicinity to destabilize them. With those methods, she's defeated dozens of opponents singlehandedly and with little effort. She's also fearless to the point of not being frightened of her own death, which allowed her to bypass Liu's illusions. Finally, she's skilled at putting on a mask and faking her character, acting in whatever way best fits the situation (whether with taunts, praises, distractions, etc), which has led her to trick others and force them to lower their guard.
Standard Tactics: Shuka isn't someone to underestimate her opponents. She goes straight for the kill, has no qualms doing so and can handle several opponents at once. She's shown extreme combat awareness and can handle mutliple enemies at once, among which she's always able to assess the biggest threat. She commonly uses her arsenal of thread-like objects to overwhelm and/or distract her opponents, using the tiniest oppening to score a kill. She always uses the environment to her advantage, especially when it comes to maneuverability as she commonly swings herself around and stays airborne; if forced to be grounded, her reactions and arsenal of weapons allow her to handle most opponents. In either case, she often uses her thinner threads to stealthily attack her targets from blind angles.
Weaknesses: Regular human weaknesses
Feats:
*Until Kaname forced her to surrender, Shuka had never lost a single battle in Darwin’s Game and had 49 straight victories.Volume 2, Chapter 6 / Episode 1
*She has single-handedly defeated and killed groups of opponents multiple times with extreme ease, even against the «Eighth» clan.Volume 5, Chapter 20
*She is the only human to have ever resisted and even bypassed Lius's hallucinations, capable of making people unconscious in an instant.
*She defeated One, the ruthless and powerful leader of the «Eighth» clan, in a 1-vs-1 fight. Despite One being feared by the entirety of the Darwin’s Game community, Shuka was unimpressed and seemed to have no trouble taking him on. She mutilated him, cutting off both his legs and arms, before using his teleportation power against him to send him slam on the floor from several meters in the air.Volume 8, Chapter 29
*She has dealt with many different abilities and types of opponents, that she succeeded in overcoming. From those shown thus far, they include: gun users, snipers, bow users, water users, ice users, illusion users, teleporters, sword users, homing attack users, martial artists, forcefield users, other thread users, necromancers and stealth masters.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Queen of Thorns: Shuka’s Sigil enables her to telepathically control any thread-like object, including ropes, cables, cords, sharp-like-blade extra-thin threads barely visible to the eye, and her signature weapon: chains with grappling hooks. She usually uses two thread-like objects at a time (but can control more at once), and she controls them perfectly. She can use them to hold on to buildings or other solid objects to fly around quickly, swirl them either around her or around each other to block attacks, wrap them around items to destroy them, cause them to vibrate to get a buzzsaw-like effect, or use them to attack from several directions at once. Her control of chains mainly bring her unpredictability, movement, defense and utility rather than straight up offense. She can also use tiny threads to close up some wounds.
