**Stamina:** Very high

**Intelligence:** Having been trained in the Turtle School alongside Goku by Master Roshi from an early age, Krillin is an exceptionally skilled martial artist with decades of combat experience. Lacking the Saiyan blood, sheer strength, and genius of Goku, Krillin instead depends on his tactical smarts, intelligently and practically putting his skills to use to survive against much stronger opponents. He has developed a number of techniques for this purpose.

**Weaknesses:** Krillin cannot survive in the vacuum of space

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Ki:** The fighting power and life force of a martial artist, a tangible energies derived from the user's vigor, courage, and mind. It can be used in a number of ways, such as to surpass the limits of one's body to greatly increase in strength, and it can be fired as blasts of energy or used to create defensive barriers. Learning how to use ki at an early age, Krillin is now very skilled in its use, and has been called the strongest human on Earth, something that doubtlessly stems from his training under many martial artists and the potential he had unlocked by Grand Elder Guru.
	+ **Double Tsuibikidan:** Krillin fires two reddish-orange waves of ki from his hands, which can follow his opponent like homing missiles, making them difficult to evade, especially when Krillin attacks alongside them.
	+ **Kamehameha:** The signature technique of the Turtle School, which Krillin learned from Master Roshi. Charged and fired with both hands, it is a simple but powerful technique.
	+ **Destructo Disc:** Krillin's signature technique, a razor sharp blade of ki that he creates by holding his hand above his head. Possessing incredible cutting power, it's even powerful enough to cut cleanly through Frieza's tail in his second form. Due to his mastery of this technique, Krillin has made several variations, and can fire a barrage of the discs in rapid succession, or the **Destructo Disc Triple Blade**, in which the Destructo Disc splits into three separate discs, making it much harder to dodge. It should be noted that the Destructo Disc can cut through opponents that are several times stronger and more durable.
	+ **Scattering Bullet:** Krillin charges up and fires a small large energy sphere that slowly flies into the air, where it explodes, splitting into many smaller, faster ki blasts that rain down upon his foe.
	+ **Spread Shot Retreat** - An evasive technique where the user fires ki blasts while moving backwards. It allows the user to put some distance between the user and their opponents while attacking at the same time preventing their opponent from following.
* **Solar Flare:** One of Tien Shinhan's signature techniques, which Krillin copied from him at some point. Bringing his hands up to his face, Krillin can create a bright flash of light that can blind opponents.
