Stated to outshined Kaiju No. 10, whose has a combat style similar to humans, in terms of combat abilityKaiju No. 8 Chapter 88)
* Likely Axemanship, Technique Mimicry, Shockwave Generation and Damage Boost (Has the ability to fashion an axe similar to Kikoru’s axes for use in combat. It is highly probable that No. 15 is able to replicate Kikoru's Squadron Style Ax Technique, given that she is aware of Kikoru's capabilities as a result of her experience fighting a kaiju with the combat power of Kaiju Weapon Episode Kikoru ShinomiyaKaiju No. 8 Chapter 85 similar to Kaiju No. 10 being able to replicate Soshiro’s Sword-Slay Technique perfectly in a situation where even a single screw-up would result in death due to its experiences with fighting the swordsmanKaiju No. 8 Chapter 85)
*Acrobatics (Can maneuver around NW4 Kikoru Shinomiya's fast attacks as well as fight with aerial acrobaticsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 78)
*Accelerated Development (Training, Battle; Physical Statistics, Abilities. Despite NW4 Kikoru's growth in her strength, speed, and efficiency as well as Numbers Weapon 4's incredible flight and propulsion speed that allow her to keep up and clash with Kaiju No. 15's attacks initially, as the battle continues, Kaiju No. 15 was able to outpace her growth, being able to eventually overpower and completely blitz Kikoru without her being able to react to its movement this time.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 78Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 79 As a child, it developed swiftly enough to outmatch a kaiju with the combat skills of Kaiju Weapon Episode Kikoru Shinomiya to the point where it disparaged it as a weakling and mastered its unique psychogenic attack functionKaiju No. 8 Chapter 85)
*Body Control (Uniquely, it can expel dozens of neuron-like tendrils from Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 69 and otherwiseKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80, even able to use them as piercing projectilesKaiju No. 8 Chapter 84)
*Tentacle Manipulation (Additionally, it also can call forth multiple tentacles from the groundKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 79 of varying sizesKaiju No. 8 Chapter 84 with their mind)
*Weapon Creation (Through its tentacles, Kaiju No. 15 can gather materials from the environment to create giant weaponsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 78)
*Energy Projection (Has the ability to eject a violent beam of energy from its mouth capable of generating enough heat to vaporize anything in its path, such as concrete, metal, and human flesh and bones, which includes those of Defense Force Soldiers who has forcefield protecting them, leaving little to no traces behindKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 77)
*True flight (Has shown the ability to float freely in the airKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 78. Even after being hacked to bits, Kaiju No. 15's body still levitatedKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80)
*Shapeshifting (Can morph into a human form and blend in with other humansKaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 69. Unlike No. 9, No. 15 does not require the consumption of a human in order to take their form; although it is possible that No. 15 can only take the form of Kikoru Shinomiya since it was modeled after herKaiju No. 8 Chapter 85. Is skilled enough to perform partial transformationKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 79 at willKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 78)
*Healing Negation (Was able to inhibit NW4 Kikoru's self-healing, making the suit's emergency treatment ineffectiveKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 79)
*BFR via Mind Hack (Kaiju No. 15 can forcibly drag a person's consciousness to a pocket dimension, which they control over, after connecting to them via their neuron-like tentacles.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80 No. 15's control over this dimension allows them to gain a variety of abilities as a result. Furthermore, the daikaiju practicing and mastering its special psychogenic function on rocks suggests that No. 15's Mind Hack may be able to affect even inanimate objectsKaiju No. 8 Chapter 85)
**Greater Mind Manipulation and Empathic Manipulation (Mind Hack is consistently described as a psychogenic attack with an unnatural level of precision—affecting even the likes of Kikoru Shinomiya, who can resist a Daikaiju’s energy and cell, and would have completely incapacitated her if not for Kafka’s words causing her willpower to sour higher than before to break free. It was effective to the point that, despite Kikoru's animosity toward the Kaiju, the more attacks she took in this dimension, the more compliant she became, eventually regressing into a child-like mentalityKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 81Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 85)
**Sealing (When Kaiju No. 15's neuron-like tentacles pierce a target, their consciousness is sealed in a pocket dimension, leaving their physical body completely defenseless in the real world. Even if the tentacles piercing the target were to be removed, the target's consciousness should remain trapped regardlessKaiju No. 8 Chapter 83Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 84)
**Greater Paralysis Inducement (Whilst under the Mind Hack, the target is render immobile and unable to respond to outside interferences, even when trying to access her neural circuitsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 81. This can affect Kikoru, whose willpower would allow her to move despite the fact that their bodies had not been responding to them previously, to regain their fading consciousness, and even to seize control of their bodies)
**Greater Biological Manipulation and Statistics Reduction (The Mind Hack interferes with neural oscillations and synchronization, which is shown to have an impact on the target's Unleash Combat Power, aka physical statisticsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80. This can affect Kikoru, who can resist a Daikaiju’s energy and cell as well as their aura)
**Perception Manipulation and Illusion Creation (No. 15's control of the dimension allow it to alter victims' appearances to take whatever form the kaiju desires and create illusionsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80)
**Memory Manipulation (Given Kaiju No. 15’s knowledge of Kikoru’s true motivation for fighting when even she doesn’t remember, the Kaiju has the ability to read a person’s subconscious and relay to them their own memories.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80 As the Mind Hack is described as a psychogenic attack, No. 15 should be able to induce amnesia)
**Greater Pain Manipulation (The pain that Kaiju No. 15 can inflict within the Mind Hack is stated to be psychological in natureKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80. This can affect Kikoru, who can resist a Daikaiju’s energy and cell)
**Telepathy and Astral Projection (Can project their thoughtsKaiju No. 8 Chapter 85, voice and themselvesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80)
*No. 9's access to Director General Isao Shinomiya's memories enables it to specifically design Kaiju Nos. 11 through 15 to exterminate the Defense Force, such as Gen Narumi, Kikoru Shinomiya, Soshiro Hoshina, Rin Shinonome, etc...,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 81 thereby gaining knowledge of not only their general but personal combat abilities and how to bypass them and perform them since Isao has served at the heart of Japan's neutralization efforts.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 54
*Are noted to be No. 9's masterpiecesKaiju No. 8 Chapter 96 in comparison to Kaiju No. 10, who is classified as a prototype,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 57 and as such, Nos. 11 through 15 should likely be able to employ similar abilities to No. 10, if not at a higher level.
Attack Potency: Mountain levelUpscales from 188.33 MegaTons (In comparison to the prototype Kaiju No. 10, the other Fortitude 9.0 Daikaiju that were created by No. 9 are stated to outshine Kaiju No. 10 entirely in terms of power, speed, and combat ability.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 88 As shown with No. 15, all of the No. 9's Cataclysm Fortitude 9.0 Daikaiju, with the exception of Kaiju No. 14, have trained in order to defeat their specific opponent at their maximum power prior to the war,Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 85 which for No. 15 is Post-First Division Training Kikoru Shinomiya), Mountain level+Scales to 550 MegaTons with Tentacles (Upon observing them, the Defense Force members expressed grave concern for Kikoru, stating that even though they had witnessed Kaiju No. 15's physical prowess, she could not win.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 78 They are capable of piercing through Numbers Weapon 4 94% Full Release Kikoru Shinomiya's suitKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80)
Speed: High HypersonicUpscales from 28.68 (In comparison to the prototype Kaiju No. 10, the other Fortitude 9.0 Daikaiju that were created by No. 9 are stated to outshine Kaiju No. 10 entirely in terms of power, speed, and combat ability.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 88 As shown with No. 15, all of the No. 9's Cataclysm Fortitude 9.0 Daikaiju, with the exception of Kaiju No. 14, have trained in order to defeat their specific opponent at their maximum power prior to the war,Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 85 which for No. 11 is Post-First Division Training Kikoru Shinomiya. It could casually speed-blitz Numbers Weapon 4 84% Full Release Kikoru Shinomiya multiple times and easily avoid her fastest techniques back-to-back, even though Kikoru was increasing the strength, speed, and efficiency of her attacks mid-battle.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 78 Even at 88% Full Release and growing faster by following the ghost of her mother's movements, Kikoru still had some difficulties at first dodging a suppressed Kaiju No. 15's attacksKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 79), higher attack speed with Tentacles (They are considered fast enough that Kikoru had to resort to utilizing Numbers Weapon 4’s flight and propulsion speed to dodgeKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 79. Additionally, it is capable of tagging Numbers Weapon 4 Kikoru when she was at 94% Full ReleaseKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80 and again when her Unleashed Combat Power was lowered but still fast enough to speed-blitz No. 15Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 84), higher flight speed (Demonstrated to be superior to Numbers Weapon 4 Kikoru Shinomiya's fight and propulsion speed as it could speed blitzed her mid-flight, calling her “too slow”Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 79)
Lifting Strength: Class GScales to 5.65e+10 kg (It has been proven that kaiju of the Daikaiju-class are capable of performing such feats)
Striking Strength: Mountain level
Durability: Mountain level (Could casually no-sold multiple of Numbers Weapon 4 84% Full Release Kikoru Shinomiya's attacks, which Kaiju No. 15 later confirmed by saying Kikoru cannot put a scratch on it with her axe, despite Kikoru increasing the strength, speed, and efficiency of her attacks mid-battle.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 78 When serious, No. 15 could halt a direct attack from Kikoru at 88% Full Release, who has proven capable of harming the Daikaiju when casual,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 79 until Kikoru grew strong enough to eventually chop through the kaiju's defenseKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80)
Stamina: Superhuman (As a kaiju, they possess a near immunity to pain and injury in comparison to humans, as they have cores instead of frail human heartsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 38, which allows kaiju to be able to take powerful attacks capable of tearing off their limbsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 20Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 27Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 35Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 44, destroying their organsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 62, break their spinal cord and neck without being affected by the paralysisKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 18Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 36 or having a significant part of their bodies removedKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 14Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 51 without flinching or rendered unconscious from the pain)
Range: Standard Melee Range, Up to Hundreds of Meters with Ranged Attacks (As a Daikaiju, No. 15 is physically strong enough to create air pressure with its attacks, with the highest range demonstrated being this. A tiny portion of No. 15’s breath attack can extend this far) and Tentacles (Its neuron-like tendrils were able to target people across Shinjuku ward, Kabukicho)
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: 
Gifted. As a kaiju that exceeds Identified Kaiju Class, their combat abilities far surpass those of Identified Kaiju Class, whose combat abilities far exceed those of a regular Daikaiju, because while there are just under 30 officers in the Japanese Defense Force [which should have roughly the same number of members as the Japan-Self Defense Force] and less than ten in terms of solo combat capability capable of fighting Daikaiju, the number drops even lower when up against an Identified Kaiju-Class Threat, as they require several officers with captain-grade strength, and against a powerful kaiju such as No. 15, the number drops even moreKaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 38Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 77. To further elucidate on their combat abilities, just five Identified Kaiju-Class Threats together are stated to be well beyond what the Eastern Division can handle on their ownKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 77, which included the First Division, the strongest key division of the Defense Force, famous even overseas for its exceptional powerKaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 39. At the very minimum, Daikaiju-class threats are said to have fortitude levels above 8.0, making their combat abilities far greater than Fortitude 6.4 Kaiju, who are considered so dangerous by Third Division Soshiro Hoshina that neutralizing just one would require an entire company of general officers from the Third DivisionKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 7. General Officers from the Third Division possess Unleashed Combat Powers around 20-30%Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 5, making them more skilled than JSDF military officers, such as Aoi Kaguragi, who was recognized as the military's rising star when he first joined the Defense Force, not to mention capable of holding their own against kaijuKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 75 who is not only intelligent enough to predict Soshiro Hoshina's movement but is fast enough to blitz him and knock him away when using 51% of Numbers Weapon 10's power — meaning that these kaiju are more than capable of blitzing and one-shotting themKaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 73 — and neutralize them. Upon seeing Kikoru dodge its point-blank surprise attack after thoroughly blitzing her, Kaiju No. 15 stated that it was only slightly impressed, implying that for Daikaiju-level fighters, such a display is the bare minimum to keep up with them and could likely replicate the feat.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 78 Additionally, Daikaiju-class Kaiju are noted to be comparable to a restrained Kaiju No. 8 in terms of skill, who could hold his own against Soshiro Hoshina, who is a highly skilled kaiju slayer whose skills against miniature and midsize kaiju surpass those of the Captain of the Strongest Division in the Defense Force, "Japan's Strongest Anti-Kaiju Combatant", Gen Narumi, as he could resist an onslaught from Soshiro by dodging his blades and changing their course with precision despite being the slower of the twoKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 20. As shown in the Second Wave Episode, Kaiju No. 15's combat skills, even when holding back, allow it to trounce NW4 Full Release Kikoru Shinomiya to the point that it was stated that she can't beat No. 15 even despite amping her strength, speed and efficiencyKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 78.
This Identified Kaiju was created by Kaiju No. 9 to exterminate the Defense Force using Director General Shinomiya's extensive knowledge of the Defense Force's capabilities—both its strengths and weaknesses—and should be able to mimic and counter their officers’ tactics and techniques in battleKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 81. Stated that in terms of combat ability, the other Fortitude 9.0 Daikaiju such as Kaiju No. 12 outshines that of the prototype Kaiju No. 10Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 88. This kaiju was created specifically to face physically powerful opponents, such as Officer Shinomiya, by utilizing its mental abilities to work around her unrivaled strength and use her insecurities against her with unnatural precisionKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 81. Kaiju No. 15 displayed the skill to dodge and change the course of NW4 Kikoru Shinomiya's attacks, even though her Unleashed Combat Power was rapidly increasing than the percentage at which Kikoru was able to successfully avoid an attack from a serious No. 15 and attack with enough force that the daikaiju couldn't stop it and got their arm severed as a resultKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80. When it was a child, Kaiju No. 15 was able to face and bested a kaiju whose combat abilities were identical to those of Kaiju Weapon Episode Kikoru Shinomiya to the point of calling them a weaklingKaiju No. 8 Chapter 85.
Soshiro stated that one should anticipate cold-blooded attacks from kaiju.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 28
Weaknesses: Standard Kaiju weaknesses. Near its abdomen is where its core isKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80.
