</tabber>
Attack Potency: Varies (Tesla is a being that runs on human radiance, as such his power varies depending on his access to it. For example, after running low on radiance due to destroying the Bell of Gahkthun, Tesla couldn't even defeat Walther. He is also a being who can't even remain in memory, and once everyone forgets him, his powers disappear. The Smilijas are the only ones who continue to remember Tesla, they are his only anchor to the world, and source of power. Because of this, he was weakened throughout the entire visual novel, as Neon Smilija couldn't remember him, and at one point even wanted revenge against him), Town level normally (Can cut through Walther's sound with his lightning. Defeated Douglas Fairbanks, who can cut his lightning and had also boosted his strength further via Liaodon, and still managed to defeat Douglas and all 108 duplicates of himselfGahkthun Novel Anthology, What a Shining League), At least Town level with Knight of Thunder (Superior to before), Small Planet level with Maximum Power (Comparable to Rosenkreuz in his Ultharathotep form) | Varies, Country level normally (After his existence was stabilized due to Neon remembering him, he easily overpowered and one shotted Golden King), At least Country level with Knight of Thunder, At least Small Planet level with Maximum Power (Far superior to before), higher with Radiance Boost (After undoing his death with World Intervention and being empowered with Radiance from Marseille's hundred thousand students, Tesla easily overpowered and one-shotted Wrath King)
Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ combat speed in Base and Knight of Thunder (Being the Avatar of Lightning, Tesla is as fast as lightning, and can attack with lightning bolts that rain down from the sky. He is also just as easily capable of fighting with people able to react to his lightning bolts such as Berta, Jo, and Douglas), Relativistic+ to Speed of Light combat speed with Electric Evasion (Tesla always starts off using electric evasion, where he is sometimes described as being capable of light speed movement in combat, while at other times, he is only stated to be near lightspeed. Also reacted to and dodged beams of thermal radiation from Berta's Automaton. This ability however is somewhat limited, as it will run out after 10 minutes of continuous use), Infinite reaction speed at Maximum Power (Can think instantaneously, and reacted to Rosenkreuz attacks which can break the boundaries of space and time making his attacks always happen in an instant, and evasion impossible) | Speed of Light combat speed in Base, Electric Evasion, and Knight of Thunder (Fought against and kept up with the Wrath King, who reacted and dodged Tesla's lighting bolts which were fired at the speed of light at fullpower. He also continuously used Electric Evasion and flying maneuvers to dodge numerous of the latter's light beams), Infinite attack speed with Vajra Blade (Matched the Wrath King's shadow arm attack, whose attack behaves by attacking in a plane that does not exist in the 3rd dimension allowing it to ignore the constraints of space-time in a manner similar yet different to Ultharathotep), and Infinite reaction speed at Maximum Power
Lifting Strength: Superhuman (Tesla easily knocked aside a portion of a wall which was thrown at him by an Art User which ripped the wall off, along with a window frame), Class K via sheer size with Knight of Thunder
Striking Strength: Varies, Town level normally, At least Town level with Knight of Thunder, Small Planet level with Maximum Power | Varies, Country level normally, At least Country level with Knight of Thunder, At least Small Planet level with Maximum Power, higher with Radiance Boost
Durability: Varies, Town level normally (Can tank attacks from Walther, and other members of the council, comparable to himself), At least Town level with Knight of Thunder, City level durability against heat attacks with Knight of Thunder (Easily tanked Typhon's heat rays, which can dissect clouds), Small Planet level with Maximum Power | Varies, Country level normally, At least Country level with Knight of Thunder, At least Small Planet level with Maximum Power, higher with Radiance Boost
Stamina: Superhuman (Can use his Knight of Thunder which places enormous strain on the brain, which would kill a normal man. He was indifferent to all the injuries he got from Walther, didn't care when Jo was breaking his arm, and was able to pull himself back into the fight even after Wilhelm pierced and broke his body, and he was halfway to dying)
Range: Kilometers, Planetary with Maximum Power | Kilometers, Planetary with Maximum Power
Standard Equipment:
*Franklin Machine belt: A belt that controls and even expands Tesla's lightning capabilities. It was originally produced by the "Lightning Lord" Scholar and one of America's founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin, who was Tesla's second teacher in life, made during a secret lightning experiment with a young Tesla as his subject, which resulted in a belt that utilizes part of the power of the Thunderbird (an ancient Spirit of the New World, and the incarnation of lightning). Tesla later went on to improve his mentor's belt during his time with the Society, and after two Tesla coil experiments using circuit-based technology, he was able to create a belt made for combat along with a set of gauntlets.
*Thunder Blades: Also called Forceblades. They are 5 blades of thunder that each comes with a name of a deity of lightning that has been personified across mythology (Thor, Vajra, Leigong, Jupiter, and Perkunas). These 5 blades are theorized to be made out of remnants of Dark Matter that Tesla took from The M in the past (the truth of this, however, is unknown). The blades normally float around Tesla, responding to any threat that comes towards Tesla's way and can even attack by themselves. Additionally, the handle of the blades can also connect to his Machine belt with electrical cables, extending up to 100 feet, and can be used in various ways depending on his course of actions.
*Knight of Thunder: Referred to as his "Super Electromagnetic Form", it is a machine-made figure made for fighting against large beings or objects that Tesla created in his third Tesla coil experiment. One of the many curses inflicted upon him by the Thunderbird, it is normally hidden at the End of the World where Tesla can call upon it by inserting all five "Abyss Keys" that make up the core piece of his Thunderblades into his belt. Despite its mech-like body, it is often referred to as Tesla's "armor" and second body, being that it is a steel figure that is powered by Tesla himself using his power of lightning and thunder. Usually being at a size of tens of dozens of feet tall, Tesla can freely expand the Knights size to a certain extent and it is even capable of handling any kind of weapon in the form of a sword, bow, spear, hammer, or ax.
*Muffler: A muffler made out of Shoggoth collected from Antarctica. Normally worn as a scarf around his neck when fighting, it has also shown the ability to take a form of a girl who is able to interact with others albeit it is unknown if it can assist him in fights when taking this form.
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Tesla is an Erudite Scholar,Ourai no Gahkthun, Encyclopedia an honorary title given to a scientist of rare talent, who has contributed to humanity. He is also stated to be one of the greatest Erudite Scholars of the previous century. He can also manipulate the neurons in his brain, allowing him to think at accelerated speeds even while in the middle of combat. Tesla is also highly experienced fighter, having lived for over 5 decades dedicating his life to fight evil. From fighting the fiends and machines of the Society to his encounters with others like Keziah Mason and even the Black King and Tick Tock Man, Tesla is able to recognize any form of supernatural power or the like being used such as the magic arts of the witches, the use of Cracking by the Academia students Arts, and can even tell if a person is under the effects of Coercive Suggestion. He is capable of calculating the trajectory of where he will land, while falling, with just a glance. Tesla improved the functions of his machine belt, which had a portion of the Thunderbird's power, using Circuit based technology. Created a portable information terminal machine, when he was younger. Created his Super Electromagnetic Form,Gahkthun Glossary 1 which he summons from the end of the world)
Weaknesses: As a result of making contact and an oath to the Thunderbird, Tesla has been inflicted with several curses to his existence such as not being able to tell lies and becoming an illusion who will eventually disappear if no one remembers him. His powers can disperse if he comes into contact with water, and prolonged exposure can even cause him to be fatigued. Throughout the series, he couldn't maintain his electric evasion for more than 10 minutes of continuous combat, in other words, after 10 minutes he can't go light speed anymore. He also couldn't move more than 2 miles away from Neon, without starting to disappear. Using his Knight of Thunder can tire him out. Use of World Intervention causes him to lose any one of his thunderblades, disabling their use for some time.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Thunder Fiend=
*Ignition: An attack where Tesla summons a bolt of lightning from either his hands or from the sky. He can also summon more than one in quick succession, allowing him to overwhelm his enemies.
*Electric Evasion: A maneuver in which Tesla transmits his structural information to another place at the speed of light, allowing him to instantaneously dodge incoming attacks or get close to his enemies for a surprise attack.
*Electric Defense: By using his lightning in a defensive manner, Tesla can protect himself from harm and can also do this for others. This defense is used especially for his gauntlets, as Erich Zann's Art "Colors from Beyond" could not physically erode him upon contact, and this was also used to protect him and Neon from the Jabberwocky's information attacks in Metaspace.
*Electric Detection: Through the use of his lightning, Tesla can create a surveillance area that stretches out to a mile around him. This allows him to sense anyone in his general vicinity, including the very movement of individual electrons. 
*Keraunos Lightning: A special attack Tesla used upon stabilizing his connection to the world through Neon. It generates golden lightning in his hand, whereupon Tesla then shoots it towards his target and spreads across in a large span of area. Against Golden King, this was able to not only destroy his body and defeat him but also reach through all of the Cracking space they were in.
|-|Baritsu=
*Lightning Axe Kick: An offensive technique where Tesla performs a downward kick covered in lightning after leaping from the air.
*Close Quarter Defense: A defensive style Tesla takes up when encountering an attack that he is unable to evade in time with. He uses this by simply using his hands to either ward off the attack or even stop it with his palms. It is effective against unarmed and armed enemies and can be used with or without his gauntlets on him.
|-|Thunder Blades=
*Thor's Hammer: After gathering electricity in both of his hands, Tesla will shoot out a charged shot of lightning. A purely destructive attack, this move obliterated Walther Ritz's Hyper Engine Gurney Orthros in one shot as well as defeating Douglas Fairbanks who was enhanced by Liáodān.
*Vajra's Needle: An attack in which he fires a small needle of light through his targets eyeballs and manipulates their neurons, in order to control their minds and suppress their fears or emotions. It can also dispel the effect of Coercive Suggestion, allowing him to remove the effects of mind control over a person.
*Lei Gong's Arrow: An attack in which Tesla shoots a stream of light about the same size as his entire body at the enemy. This move is capable of rendering a Cracking Being (such as Killer Clown, who was made up of Cracking Light), something that is normally intangible and impervious to all aspects to physics, to be tangible and vulnerable to the point a normal gun can harm and destroy it. This move also allowed Tesla to affect and nearly destroy the Jabberwocky, a being made up of information in the Wallace Network formed out of the residue of the Golden King's Cracking.
*Marduks Javelin: An attack that Tesla uses by shooting a golden lightning rod-like blast at the enemy. Using this allowed him to be able to destroy all of Wilhelm Reich's light blades instantly.
*Lightning Danse Macabre: A move wherein Tesla commands his 5 Thunderblades to attack the enemy in a somewhat random manner (the 5 Thunderblades don't have any fixed trajectories). They are as fast as his bolts of lightning and are also noted to be harder to deal with due to attacking in unpredictable patterns.
|-|Knight of Thunder=
*Alternate Buster: Tesla's strongest attack when using his Knight of Thunder mech. He charges a lot of electric energy to the center of his mech's chest, growing into a massive ball of energy where he then shoots towards the enemy, enveloping them and destroying them completely.
*Vajra's Blade: An attack that has Tesla summon a giant blade and rushes towards his target at high speeds to pierce them through.
*Airgetlam: His ultimate defense, which uses his four silver shields of his Knight of Thunder to block a major attack for Tesla. Using this allowed him to defend a blow from Berta's Automaton Typhon and he had even used it against the many hands of Ulthrathotep, though they were instantly crushed the moment they made contact due to the nature of said hands. 
*Weapon Formation: Tesla can form one of five different weapons to use for combat such as a sword, bow, ax, spear, or hammer, the weapons of the five gods of thunder his thunderblades are named after.
*Giga Jupiter Buster: A special attack Tesla can achieve after absorbing a large quantity of Radiance. In his battle with the Wrath King, Tesla, through the Radiance of Marseille's hundred thousand students, he unleashes a powerful burst of electricity that was strong enough to completely wipe out the Wrath King and even part away the dark sky.
