==Party member==
When playable in dream sequences, Kiros inherits the level and junctions from someone in Squall's party; Squall himself always inhabits Laguna. During the dream in Timber and Deling City, Kiros gains Zell's junctions. During the dream in Centra Excavation Site, he gains Selphie's junctions. In Winhill, he gains Irvine's level, but starts with no junctions and the player must manually equip him. In the following dreams, the player can pick whose junctions Kiros gets out of Quistis, Zell, Selphie, and Irvine.
Kiros's intro pose is to crouch on his knee before looking at his enemy and jumping up, ready for battle. His victory pose is to cross his arms, with his katar held in front of his shoulders, and bow.
===Weapon===
Kiros has a unique fighting style, using paired sharp blades called Katals (a mistransliteration of katar) wielded in each hand. The katar is a one-handed push dagger from India. As the classification implies, these daggers are actually used primarily for thrusting attacks. junk shops are not available in dreams and Kiros's weapon cannot be upgraded. It gives 13 Strength 102% Hit Rate.
