Attack Potency: Multiverse level (Capable of taking on KHII Sora and Beast, said to be the 3rd most powerful member of Organization XIII along with Lexaeus according to Tetsuya Nomura [with Roxas at his full potential being the 2nd strongest and Xemnas being the most powerful], making him above Marluxia, Axel, Luxord, and even Saix and Xion)
Speed: Infinite (Able to keep up with Mid-Game Sora)
Lifting Strength: At least Class M
Striking Strength: Multiverse level (Traded blows with Mid-Game Sora)
Durability: Multiverse level 
Stamina: Superhuman
Range: Extended Melee Range with lances. Tens of Meters with Dragon Lance
Standard Equipment: Lindworm, a set of six lances that he controls telekinetically or physically wields
Intelligence: Xaldin, as the third most powerful member of the Organization alongside Lexaeus, is a force to be reckoned with in combat. He relies on telekinetic and wind attacks for furious and powerful chains of attacks, never giving his opponents a chance to breathe. As a Dragoon, he specializes in aerial attacks, coming down on his foes from above with powerful dives and keeping himself cloaked in Aero magic to grant himself constant flight. In addition to his fearsome combat prowess, he is also skilled in psychological exploitation, constantly taunting and demeaning his foes to get to slip up and give in to their inner darkness, being charged by Xemnas himself to turn Beast into a Heartless.
Weaknesses: Xaldin relies on his lances for attack as well as defense, so he's left wide open should his initial assault be deflected, Xaldin is something of a pessimist but is also a sadist in combat, must be hardpressed to use his Limit Break
Notable Attacks and Techniques:
* Aero: Xaldin is extremely accomplished in the use of this magic, utilizing it for sustained flight and firing powerful blasts of compressed wind as projectiles. In addition, he is able to create a barrier of wind to deflect all incoming attacks, greatly reducing the damage he takes for as long as this barrier remains active.
* Air Bullets: Xaldin rapidly spins his spears in front of him in a circle, deflecting incoming attacks and firing homing bursts of compressed air as projectiles. However, these bullets are rather slow and easily blocked.
* Dragon's Breath: One of Xaldin's desperation attacks, he shapes his lances into the shape of a dragon which "breathes" a powerful blast of wind that sweeps across the battlefield.
* Dragoon's Storm: Xaldin's Limit Break in which he viciously whips his lances around his surroundings, deterring incoming melee attackers and tearing apart those foolish enough to approach him before he brings his weapons down to impale his foes.
* Jump: Xaldin quickly ascends out of sight before coming down on his opponent at high speeds to impale them. Even if the opponent manages to dodge the attack, the resulting shockwave will blow them backward and leave them open to additional attacks.
* Sweeping Spears: Xaldin swings his lances in front of him to brush aside foes who attempt to close the distance between them.
