Weaknesses

Runs on a limited amount of energy powered by his internal battery, though the exact amount of time he can run for is unspecified. Prolonged usage of the Visage of Wrath form will cause his body to overheat, which can put heavy strain on his body and cause him to exert a large amount of energy.

Ranked #7 of 42 in Zenless Zone Zero by strength.
