Weaknesses

Tahu is impulsive, short-tempered, and weakened without his Kanohi. The Golden Armor can only be used once. Using a Nova Blast drains his powers and leaves him incapable of using his elemental powers for a few days. A Toa's power is halved when their mask is removed, which extends to their elemental abilities

Ranked tied for #6 of 94 in Bionicle by strength.
