Powers and abilities

  • Superhuman Physical Characteristics
  • Acrobatics (Hypermobility & Self-Momentum; Shown himself to be very flexible and acrobatic, capable of doing midair tricks and spins that can change his trajectory mid-air when attacking)
  • Martial Arts (Has years of experience fighting as a boxer through his time spent in the underground arena. As the Champion of the Sons of Calydon, he's constantly challenged as people fight him in order to settle their disputes or try and take his title from him. Can fight hordes of people by himself and take on people much larger than he is)
  • Vehicular Mastery (Extremely proficient in driving motorcycles. Participated in the Tour De Inferno, a lengthy and dangerous race across the Outer Ring for only the most skilled and experienced bikers)
  • Social Influencing:
  • Social Position and Reputation (Lighter is known throughout the Outer Ring as the Sons of Calydon's "Red Scarf," and people more often than not recognize him solely off of his aforementioned red scarf alone)
  • Fire Manipulation (via L-Form Thundering Fist, Blazing Flash, Blazing Flash - Guard, Charging Slam - Stab, V-Form Sunrise Uppercut, V-Form Sunrise Uppercut - Full Distance, V-Form Scorching Sun, and W-Form Crowned Inferno. His signature W-Engine, Blazing Laurel, also acts as a lighter that can ignite flames with a siphon)
  • Weapon Mastery (Proficient with his combustion gauntlet, "Spark")
  • Limited Statistics Amplification (Lighter's combustion gauntlet, "Spark" increases his punching power. His Morale Burst state is a flurry of punches much higher in speed than his normal attacks)
  • Limited Status Effect Inducement (When Lighter deals enough Fire DMG, he applies Burn to enemies, an anomaly effect that deals continuous Fire DMG for a period of time. Inflicting Burn on enemies weak to Fire can also interrupt their actions)
  • Limited Damage Boost (Lighter's Core Passive, Accelerant, grants him Morale over time. When at 80 Morale or higher, executing the 5th hit of his Basic Attack puts him into the Morale Burst state, which enhances the power of the startup light punch, jab combo, and finishing move of the 5th hit of his Basic Attack. His Mindscape Cinema 01: The Champion increases the DMG of his startup light punch or jab combo by 30% when Lighter's Morale is completely exhausted. His Mindscape Cinema 06: Survivor triggers a Blazing Impact effect dealing 250% of his ATK as Fire DMG when landing a heavy strike on enemies during a Basic Attack, Dodge Counter, Special Attack, EX Special Attack, Quick Assist, Assist Follow-Up, Chain Attack, or Ultimate. The effect triggers once every 8 seconds. If Lighter's Impact exceeds 170 points, each additional point will further increase the multiplier of Blazing Impact by 5%, up to a maximum increase of 500%. His W-Engine, Blazing Laurel, applies a Wilt effect to enemies when landing a Basic Attack, stacking up to 20 times and lasting 30 seconds. For every stack of Wilt applied, the CRIT DMG of the Ice and Fire DMG dealt to an enemy increases by 1.5%)
  • Limited Damage Reduction (Lighter's damage during the 5th hit of his Basic Attack is reduced by 40%. Additionally, while in the Morale Burst state, the DMG reduction effect is increased to 80%)
  • Limited Statistics Reduction (Lighter's Core Passive, Accelerant, reduces an enemy's Ice and Fire RES by 15% when landing light punches or jab combos while in the Morale Burst State. His Mindscape Cinema 01 The Champion increases the Ice and Fire RES reduction by an additional 10%)
  • Ether Corruption (Lighter and other agents in the world of Zenless Zone Zero have high ether aptitudes, allowing them to fight and navigate hollows for prolonged amounts of time without suffering the various effects inflicted by ether corruption. It is noted Ether strikes faster and more intensely on beings with "souls", such as humans and thirens as well as machines who have passed the forbidden fruit test, a test to determine if an AI construct is self aware)

Weaknesses

Claims to be hemophobic, which is partly why he wears sunglasses. Also has poor eyesight from an eye injury he received during his time spend in the underground arena.

Ranked tied for #9 of 42 in Zenless Zone Zero by strength.
