However, due to his kindness, he has been deemed quite naive or a "doormat" as despite his ability to defend himself, he often disenfranchises himself and ignores his own feelings.

When he was younger, Kudin loved and hated by many. Often times, he was bullied for his weight and large stature or his large horns.

He also is able to use his wind abilities to drastically increase his speed, propelling him in any direction which he can also use to add more power behind his strikes with the momentum he's able to create.

He is also quite skilled in using an axe or sword as his weapons of choice. With both weapons, Kudin is capable of throwing sharp projectiles of wind that conform around the shape of the weapon he's wielding. Though he is skilled with both, his preferred weapon is a sword, as he is allowed perform more complicated attacks and maneuvers with one of his hands free.

Without a weapon, Kudin is also skilled the Elder Realm inspired fighting style tairian. The style usually relies on the user being very mobile and outmaneuvering their opponents.
