Purebreed= Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Higher-Dimensional Existence (Eaters are called Hyperdimensional beings, above even what is recognized as Higher Dimensions. They have no concepts of time or limit and are totally incomprehensible to the beings of the lower worlds), Dimensional Manipulation (Eaters unleash Digital Waves that convert the lower space to their most complex space, which can be controlled by them as Yuugo did), Acausality (Types 1 and 4. Eaters exist with no concept of time or history and all time is the same instant for them, thus existing in a state of constant presence. Exists beyond the Kernel and thus exists beyond past, present and future), Absorption (Eaters are able to deconstruct and absorb everything they touch), Reactive Evolution with Power Mimicry (Using the absorbed data, Eaters are able to rewrite their own structure and assimilate the entire evolutionary process of what they have absorbed for themselves, gaining in moments what an entire species has taken centuries to develop), Power Nullification (As part of the absorption process, the data they touch is corrupted, bugging the data making them ineffective), Statistics Amplification (Can increase their magical status), Electricity Manipulation and Paralysis Inducement via Ripping Net, Incorporeality (Digital Beings are actually metaphysical beings from higher worlds similar to souls and spirits), Non-Physical Interaction (Able to touch each other as well as Dark Area Natives, souls, minds and other Digimon), Soul Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Hacking and Information Manipulation as Reality Warping and Law Manipulation (Digital beings are able to rewrite the coding structure of reality and thus modify the laws of the world), Resistance to Mind Manipulation.

Weaknesses: Despite being powerful, the Eaters have certain weaknesses that are exploited during the Cyber Sleuth narrative that limit them. Most important is the original nature of the Eaters, they are harmless beings. All the bad things they did in the games were the result of corruption from the human soul and if it weren't for that they wouldn't have done any of it. And at the end of Cyber Sleuth they are reformatted to return to their harmless state, which means that nowadays the Eaters pose no real danger. Not only that, but even during their corruption they were being neutralized by Yuugo, which prevented them from causing great damage, for example the destruction of the world, though in time he would lose control over it. In this way Eaters, while retaining their assimilation functions, do not evolve into something more dangerous while retaining their original, albeit distorted, functions. In addition to these natural weaknesses of the Eaters, there are also the weaknesses of those that the Eaters absorb. Naturally, the power and potential of the Eaters is limitless, and those who hold their power (Like Human-fused Eaters) could do anything, but humans reject the infinite power of the Eaters to an instinctive level, which limits their capabilities.

Note 2: While Eaters may share a similar tier, it should be noted that Humanoid Eaters and Eater Bits are much stronger than Puredreed Eaters and thus should be assumed to be such.
