Attack Potency: Moon level+ (With the help of the rest of the party, Snow was capable of killing Orphan without the aid of Ragnarok. Whose energy in his base form comes out to 106,823 exatons) | Multiverse level+ (Capable of fighting Noel and Serah at the same time, who in turn are above the likes of Gilgamesh. Should be on par with, if not slightly beneath "Knight of Etro" Lightning. Whose existence is capable of sustaining the infinite world of Valhalla. A world that operates on a different plane of existence where all timelines are able to be seen from and are referred to as "Lower Worlds". Valhalla gives birth to, controls, contains, and connects all timelines, of which are there are an infinite number of which equate to infinite possibilities via The Historia Crux. This includes The Void, which is considered a mere "Shadow" in comparison to Valhalla, the latter of which is stated numerous times to be beyond Space-Time) | Multiverse level+ (Much stronger than his previous incarnation, fought Lightning after she had defeated Noel Kreiss), higher with 'Cie'th transformation | Multiverse level+ (Is comparable to the other Warriors of Materia and draws power from the gods of the cycle. Participated in the defeat of Shinryu)

Lifting Strength: Class M (Able to outmuscle and topple monsters of this size) | Class T (Should possess similar physical strength to Lightning and Caius) | Class T | Immeasurable (Is superior to Neo Exdeath and Enuo)
Striking Strength: Moon level+ (Uppercut Orphan into the air) | Multiverse level+ | Multiverse level+ | Multiverse level+

Stamina: Superhuman (Snow and his allies fought through the city of Eden for a better part of the day)
Range: Standard Melee Range physically, At Least Multiversal+ with Magic and The Unseen Chaos (Magic as a whole is shown to affect omnipresent beings such as Exdeath when he's become one with the Void itself, which spans across the entire Final Fantasy Multiverse, can even banish foes into the Void with the Teleport ability. The Unseen Chaos exists at all points of Space and Time across all timelines and dimensions of which there are an Infinite Number of which equate to infinite possibilities, as well as the world of Valhalla, which is confirmed to be on a different plane of existence, where all timelines are able to be viewed from and referred to as "lower worlds", which includes "The Void" which is described as a mere "Shadow" in comparison to Valhalla) | Same as before | At least Multiversal+ (The Unseen Chaos exists at all points of Space and Time across all timelines and dimensions of which there are an Infinite Number of which equate to infinite possibilities, as well as the world of Valhalla, which is confirmed to be on a different plane of existence, where all timelines are able to be viewed from and referred to as "lower worlds", which includes "The Void" which is described as a mere "Shadow" in comparison to Valhalla)
Standard Equipment: Save the Queen, his Eidolith crystal, an axe made of ice, His Cie'th Arm, and miscellaneous items
Intelligence: Average. Described by Lightning as easy-going and overly chummy, Snow is often overly idealistic and hot-headed, charging straight into battle without a thought and seeing himself as the hero of the story. As a result, he rarely thinks before he acts, which led him into trouble on more than one occasion. Regardless, he was an excellent hand-to-hand combatant even before he became a l'Cie, beating back monsters and PSICOM forces with nothing but his fists and taking the brunt of the attack for his allies. He is also surprisingly skilled at magic, specializing in the use of Blizzard and Water and mastering them to their highest degrees, allowing him to bombard opponents at a distance if his usual brawling tactics don’t work. He becomes much more somber and more mature by the events of Lightning Returns, fighting Lightning on equal terms even after she had become The Savior and making massive ice constructs to supplement his specialty for close combat.
Weaknesses: Snow is often rather headstrong, acting before thinking and getting himself and others into trouble, and by the time of Lightning Returns, he harbors extreme guilt over his failure to save Serah's life (Albeit after the events of the trilogy, neither of these are issues). Weaknesses provided by the "Heart and Soul", along with L'Cie weaknesses
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
===Physical Attacks===
*Blitz: Snow swings his fist around in a circle, attacking entire groups of enemies that choose to surround him.
*Counter: Snow's counterattack to certain targets. It can range from Level 1 to Level 3.
*Launch: Snow sends the opponent skyward, leaving them helpless against follow-up attacks unless they have a flight ability.
*Smite: The instant an airborne opponent is about to recover from being staggered, Snow attacks with a single physical blow for immense damage.
*Block: A well-timed block can deflect much of the damage dealt by an attack and leave him in an advantageous position.
*Mediguard: Guards against all attacks while continuously healing himself.
*Steelguard: Guards against all attacks extremely effectively. The more attacks are absorbed, the more potent it becomes.
*Aquastrike: Attacks with a water-imbued strike.
*Froststrike: Attacks with an ice-imbued strike.
* Sovereign Fist: Snow leaps into the air and slams his fist into the ground, dealing heavy physical damage across a small radius. This attack will ignore any resistances to physical damage, but will also ignore any vulnerabilities.
===Magic===
*Blizzard/Blizzara/Blizzaga: An ice elemental spell at various levels depending on the intensity it is cast, with Blizzard being the weakest and Blizzaga the strongest.
*Aero/Aerora: A wind elemental spell at various levels depending on the intensity it is cast, with Aerora being stronger than Aero.
*Ruin/Ruina/Ruinga: A spell that deals non-elemental damage at various levels depending on the intensity it is cast, with Ruin being the weakest and Ruinga the strongest.
*Haste/Hastega: A spell that bestows Haste upon a target, speeding up their movements.
*Curse/Cursega: A spell that deals light damage and afflicts a target with Curse, making them easier to interrupt and knock around, and making it harder for them to do the same in return.
*Fog/Fogga: A spell that cancels enemy magic spells and deals magic damage to the target. Fogga distributes a more powerful version of the spell over a wide area.
*Slow/Slowga: Snow slows down the flow of time for his enemies, forcing them to take longer than normal to use their attacks.
*Stopga: Snow stops time and cancels all actions taken by the opponent at the time of casting at the cost of doing the same for Snow himself.
*Cure/Cura/Curasa: A spell that restores a target's vitality, with Cura being a more potent but more costly version of Cure. Curasa heals Snow or an ally an amount proportional to the damage they've taken, being more potent as the target nears death.
*Esuna: A spell that removes a status ailment from a target.
*Quake: Rends apart the earth, launching all enemies in a giant radius into the air and stunning them momentarily.
===Eidolon===
*Shiva Sisters: Snow's Eidolons are the Shiva Sisters, Nix and Stiria, who specialize in physical and magical combat respectively. Snow has an amicable relationship with both of them and they thus synergize perfectly with him in combat. They are capable of freezing enemies at Absolute Zero temperatures. 
*Penetration: Nix and Stiria’s attacks ignore any resistance to their Ice and Water attacks.
*Curaga: Stiria heals the wounds of one ally, rapidly bringing them back to peak performance.
*Blizzaga: Stiria blasts a target with a massive shard of ice to deal heavy Ice-elemental damage.
*Arise: Stiria revives Snow should he somehow fall in combat. However, the strain of doing so forces the Shiva Sisters to leave the battlefield.
*ATB Charge: Nix’s presence supercharges her allies, allowing them to perform their actions far more quickly than normal and reducing start up times for their abilities.
*Gestalt Mode: After spending enough time in combat with Snow, the Shiva Sisters can enter Gesalt Mode, becoming a motorcycle for Snow to ride on. In doing so, Snow is able to release the full extent of their frigid powers, freezing targets with their icy exhaust ramming targets with the motorcycle itself. Their finisher is Diamond Dust, in which Snow rapidly spins the motorcycle in a circle to flash freeze all foes nearby, after which the Shiva Sisters will leave the battlefield.
