Attack Potency: Mountain level+ (Fought and was destroyed by 2B and 9S), Mountain level with Black Box detonation
Speed: FTL+ (Comparable to 2B who can dodge point blank lasers and EMP), Speed of Light attack speed with pod laser

Striking Strength: Mountain level+
Durability: Mountain level+ (Took attacks from 2B and 9S)
Stamina: Virtually inexhaustible (Is an android. YoRHa type androids do not need any fuel to function)
Range: Tens of meters with physical attacks, hundreds of meters with the Pod‘s gatling, kilometers with the Pod‘s laser and the Flight Unit
Standard Equipment: Standard-issue military visor, Flight Unit (She had access to those while working under YoRHa), One Pod (A tactical support unit is standardly assigned to YoRHa soldiers. She had access to those while working under YoRHa), Several Weapons and Plug-in Chips (There is a set of basic chips every android has. Additionally it is likely that she had other chips as well, that she took with her when deserting YoRHa. The effects of those chips are however unknown)
Intelligence: High, capable of evading YoRHa for a considerable amount of times and while still in YoRHa was a captain. Was smart enough to order a tactical retreat during the initial confrontation with 9S and 2B
Weaknesses: As an android she is affected by electromagnetic waves and Logic Viruses. The body she is currently in dies if the OS chip is removed. Will lose her Type 8 immortality if the YoRHa network is destroyed. The Pod lasers can only damage through heat and thus certain materials including heat resistant materials can take reduced to no damage from them.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
===Pods===
Tactical support units that are assigned to YoRHa soldiers. They are mainly loaded with various weapons for long-ranged attacks. These Pods display correspondence from the command center and exchange operational intelligence between units. The Pods are capable of flight and are extremely useful in combat in various ways:
- The pod can provide information. It can access the YoRHa network and draw knowledge from its vast archives. Additionally it can scan the surroundings and observe and analyze opponents.
- It can use its respective weapon to perform long range attacks on the enemy. The pod is able to lock on to its target in order to greatly improve accuracy and trace enemy movements automatically. Those three pods each hold a different one of the three following weapons:
Pod a 01.jpg|Symbol of Pod A
Pod B 01.png|Symbol of Pod B
Pod C 01.png|Symbol of Pod C
*Pod A: Equipped with a gatling gun. This pod's weapon fires a constant barrage of bullets. Stopping the firing process will launch a cluster bomb in an arc.
*Pod B: Capable of producing an energy beam. This pod's weapon fires a continuous beam of energy. Stopping the firing process will release a barrage of ricocheting bullets that slightly home in on and penetrate enemies.
*Pod C: Equipped with homing missiles. This pod's weapon needs a few seconds to lock onto enemies, then fires up to 10 rockets at a time that home in on the locked targets. It is possible to direct multiple rockets at a single enemy or to lock onto multiple enemies at once. Stopping the firing process will launch a shower of explosives into the air that either explode on contact with enemies or turn into mines.
- It can provide support by hacking into computers and in case of robotic enemies it can hack the enemy itself.
====Pod Programs====
- It can use special pod programs to achieve various different effects. After activating a pod program the pod has to wait for a short time before he can use the next program. Usually a pod executes a program on his own. Charging these program allows the pods to synchronize and perform greatly enhanced versions of the programs. These are the available pod programs:

*R010 Laser: Fires a powerful laser in the direction that the Pod is facing.
*R020 Mirage: Analyzes all enemies in a fixed radius, allowing combatants to deliver a series of deadly slashes to all who are caught within.
*R030 Hammer: Summons a mass of energy that unleashes a devastating blow upon its target.
*R040 Blade: Creates a blade and spins the Pod holding it around the player at high speed, wreaking havoc on any enemies it touches.
*R050 Spear: Produces a mass of energy that sprouts from the ground in the shape of deadly spears.
*A060 P Shield: Deploys a protective barrier that blocks melee attacks. The shield is strong enough to completely block all melee attacks performed by the enemies and bosses in the game. The duration is dependent on the charge (1 Pod: 4.5s, 2 Pods: 6.5s, 3 Pods: 8.5s). However the shield can be upheld constantly by letting the pods use the single charge version of the program in rotation ("Fast Cooldown" chip is required).
*R070 M Shield: Deploys a protective barrier that blocks ranged attacks. The shield is strong enough to completely block all ranged attacks performed by the enemies and bosses in the game. The duration is dependent on the charge (1 Pod: 4.5s, 2 Pods: 6.5s, 3 Pods: 8.5s). However the shield can be upheld constantly by letting the pods use the single charge version of the program in rotation ("Fast Cooldown" chip is required).
*A080 Wave: Generates a powerful shock wave by slamming a Pod to the ground from an elevated height.
*A090 Wire: Fires a wire in the direction that the Pod is facing. If it hits a foe, it launches combatant right to the target for an up-close assault.
*A100 Decoy: Creates an image of the user, drawing the attention of foes and firing upon them with the Pod's ranged attack.
*A110 Slow: Creates a field that distorts time, slowing down all enemies that enter its vicinity (Time slows to 1/10 the speed). The diameter of the field is dependent on the charge (1 Pod: 8m, 2 Pods: 16m, 3 Pods: 24m). The distortion in time lasts for 4.5 seconds. However it can be upheld constantly by letting the pods use the single charge version of the program in rotation ("Fast Cooldown" chip is required).
*A120 Repair: Emits a temporary beam capable of healing the combatants as long as they remain within its radius.
*A130 Bomb: Throws a volley of small explosive charges over a set period of time.
*A140 Gravity: Unleashes a blast that sucks in any enemies in the vicinity. The diameter of the field is dependent on the charge (1 Pod: 6.4m, 2 Pods: 10.4m, 3 Pods: 14.4m). The manipulation of gravity lasts for 4.5 seconds. However it can be upheld constantly by letting the pods use the single charge version of the program in rotation ("Fast Cooldown" chip is required).
*A150 Volt: Restrains and shocks one nearby enemy, causing continuous damage over a set period of time.
*A160 Missile: Allows a combatant to ride atop a Pod, rush forward and charge into enemies.
*A170 Scanner: Emits ultrasonic waves to scan the surroundings in search of hidden items.
