Range: Extended melee range with Wilt, Tens of meters with Blush and Moonslice

Standard Equipment: Wilt and Blush, fire dust.

Intelligence: Gifted (Adam is highly skilled in swordsmanship, holding a preference towards the usage of "Iaido", a method in Japanese sword fighting that involves quickly unsheathing for a rapid attack and then sheathing again. Adam is also adept in unarmed combat, utilizing kicks and grabs in addition to his swordsmanship. Although Blake and Yang ultimately managed to defeat and kill him, all three exhausted their Auras during the final duel, showing that Adam was nearly a match for their combined power. Adam was very intelligent despite his aggressive personality, as he repeatedly proved himself to be quick thinking and a skilled manipulator, best shown of his takeover of the White Fang. As a leader, Adam displayed an excellent tactical acumen, planning the White Fang's Vale operations, and successfully executed a political takeover of the White Fang. Adam was also capable of psychological warfare, skillfully taunting Blake and Yang in all of his engagements with the two. Even at the height of his obsession with Blake, Adam retained his quick thinking on the battlefield).

**Weaknesses:**: Cannot use his Semblance without his sword. Continual damage to his Aura will cause it to decay to the point where he can be left open to more significant damage. Aura's durability is cumulative; it will deplete with each attack he takes and can be brought down by characters of similar strength. Semblances drain Aura by a small amount and without it they cannot be used until it is recharged. Constant exposure to extreme temperature can drain the user's Aura.

**Key**: Wilt and Blush:

Adam Taurus' weapons of choice, Wilt is a red-colored version of a traditional Japanese chokutō and Blush is a rifle that also functions as a scabbard. Blush serves as a sheath for Wilt, and the sword itself can be shot hilt-first out of the barrel. When Wilt is unsheathed, Blush's stock becomes more angular and shorter while the barrel extends, holding a greater resemblance to an actual rifle. Although small and seemingly lightweight, Blush's component is capable of automatic fire, and Wilt is used in Iaijutsu style, quickly drawing the sword for a strike and then sheathing it again. Wilt has been shown to be capable of trailing fire when Adam swings it. Adam uses Wilt in conjunction with his Semblance, both in blocking attacks and executing his Semblance's offensive move.
Moonslice: Adam's Semblance, which allows him to absorb or block the energy from an enemy attack and re-emit it again in powerful red energy strikes; he could also use the absorbed energy to increase his speed and strength. However, he could only absorb energy through a weapon. This enabled him to avoid taking damage directly during absorption, but leaves him highly vulnerable if he is disarmed. Blake described Adam's Semblance as receiving energy in his sword and storing it before sending it back outward. Adam can retain the stored energy for some time and does not need to return the damage immediately. Adam is also capable of creating afterimages that have physical properties. In these instances when he absorbs attacks, everything red on him - such as his hair, outfit, Wilt's blade and the markings on his mask - glows.
