</tabber>
Attack Potency: City Block level (One of the weakest Troupe members physically, but should still be stronger than Kortopi) | Multi-City Block level (Shalnark's physical stats are increased exponentially in Autopilot Mode. Shalnark effortlessly destroyed a Chimera Ant officer and his puppet while under Autopilot, and in this state, should be comparable to Bonolenov)
Speed: High Hypersonic (Comparable to other weaker members) | High Hypersonic+ (Far faster in Autopilot Mode. Effortlessly blitzed and mutilated Boki and Pell)
Lifting Strength: Class 25 (Ranks 10'th in arm-wrestling in the Troupe)
Striking Strength: Unknown (Is not seen engaging in physically combat, preferring to use his antenna) | Multi-City Block level (Effortlessly destroyed a Chimera Ant officer)
Durability: City Block level | Multi-City Block level (His durability should also be increased in Autopilot Mode)
Stamina: Superhuman. As a Phantom Troupe member, he must have exceptional stamina, even for a Nen user. Also, as a pro Hunter, he must have passed the brutal and rigorous Hunter Exam.
Range: Tens, possibly hundreds of meters via Nen techniques. Standard Melee Range while in Autopilot Mode.
Standard Equipment: Antenna (They are shaped after bats, with wide, cyclamen wings and a stylized bat head of the same color at the top. The tip is sharpened to allow him to stick the antenna into a target. They serve as the medium of both his Nen abilities and are connected to his cell phone), and a Cell Phone, used to activate his Nen ability and to control his targets.
Intelligence: Gifted in general. Genius in combat. Shalnark is among the smartest members of the Troupe, as well as seemingly the most knowledgeable. He can calculate accurate odds in the midst of a fight and in mere seconds and his predictions are usually exact. He is adept at finding an enemy's weak spots and exploit them. From a handful of clues, he was able to deduce that Greed Island exists in the real world, as well as to pinpoint its location by analyzing its minerals and cross-referencing the data with nautical and geographical archives. Shalnark also appears to be the most tech-savvy of the Troupe. With his informatic skills, he is one of the Phantom troupe's information gatherers, and they often rely on his advice and research. His eclectic know-how, which ranges from how to get rid of spotted leeches to piloting a hot-air balloon, makes him a valuable asset to the group.
Weaknesses: Zetsu involves keeping one's aura exclusively in the body, it makes a Nen user more vulnerable to physical and Nen attacks, because one doesn't have any aura on the outside of one's body to protect oneself. Once Shalnark has entered Autopilot, he cannot withdraw from it until the task he instructed himself has been accomplished. After leaving Autopilot, Shalnark experiences intense muscle pain for two or three days and is completely unaware of what he has done.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Black Voice (携帯する他人の運命ブラックボイス Mobile Fate Director): After sticking a special antenna into a target, usually in the back of their neck, Shalnark gains complete control over their mind and actions, puppeteering them from afar through a special mobile phone until the antenna is removed or they die. He can also set them on autopilot, allowing them to follow his orders without his direct intervention. He carries real, physical antennas on his person when he fights, with which he can control at most two people at a time, one of which can be himself.
*Autopilot: On (自じ動どう操そう作さ ＯオＮン, Jidō Sōsa ON): By placing an antenna on himself and then giving instructions or a task to be performed, Shalnark's ability manipulates his body on Autopilot and he temporarily gains immense aura, which results in a speed and strength boost, to perform the task given. Once Shalnark has entered Autopilot, he cannot withdraw from it until the task he instructed himself has been accomplished. After leaving Autopilot, Shalnark experiences intense muscle pain for two or three days and is completely unaware of what he has done. This ability has the additional benefit of making Shalnark impervious to hostile Manipulation Nen, as it is impossible to gain control over a target that is already manipulated by someone. Aside from Manipulation, the increase in aura output and physical abilities might align this mode with the Enhancement category.
