His skill was so great that it was stated by Elder Grey Eyes that Cassius was specifically chosen as half of the Mithrarin solely because he had the skill to singlehandedly defeat Gaius' entire army, which had regularly demonstrated to be on par with Dust in terms of physical strength and which possessed superior technology including invisibility, and after being awoken Dust managed to completely destroy the campaign Gaius had created over the course of years in only a few days)

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Dust Skills=
*Dust Storm: A special technique with the Blade of Ahrah, Dust spins the blade to create a vacuum that damages enemies and sucks items. This technique can be combined with Fidget's projectiles to unleash powerful attacks. However, while powerful it continually draws power, and overuse can cause Dust harm and force the storm's end.
**Aerial Dust Storm: Performing Dust Storm while in the air makes Dust spin the center of the vortex, rapidly moving and targeting enemies and granting him flight for a short period of time. This can also be combined with Fidget's projectiles.
*Dodge: A quick sidestep that allows Dust to evade enemy attacks and get behind them for strategical assaults.
*The Underling: Crouch dash. A quick slide maneuver that allows Dust to pass through low obstacles. It also inflicts damage against enemies by sliding below them.
