Stamina: Very High

Range: Extended mele range with Nunchaku, much higher with magic.

Standard Equipment: Her Nunchuku 'Strange Vision'. This weapon has the highest possible accuracy stat in the game of 255, making it very unlikely for her enemies to be able to dodge her strikes. Various restorative items to remove status effects and heal herself and resurrect her allies. Can create a potion called 'Holy War' that makes her and her party invulnerable to physical, magic and status effects (including beneficial ones) for a short time

Intelligence: At least Gifted. Despite acting very childish and naive at times, Selphie has shown astonishing skill with all sorts of technology. She runs her own website, has shown capability to disable and reprogram missles and can pilot an alien aircraft perfectly on her first attempt. 

Weaknesses: Junctioning Guardian Forces causes memory loss, has a limited stock of spells to use, Selphie must be hard pressed in order to use her Limit Break, unless she has buffed herself with Aura. Her strongest ability "The End" has an extremely low chance of appearing as her 'Slot's' limit break (roughly 11.2% chance at best and at worst 1/256) she can attempt to get around this weakness by preparing with Holy Wars and buffs like Protect, Reflect and Shell until it appears.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Draw and Stock/Cast: Selphie can absorb the energy from an opponent to recreate their magical abilities. She can use this absorbed energy either offensively to use the same ability on an opponent or she can Junction it to become resistant/immune/strengthened by it.
• Junction: Able to increase her statistics via Gaurdian Forces and grant herself resistance/immunity to various types of damage and status effects. She can also add status effects/elemental damage to her strikes depending on her enemies' resistances/abilities.
• Guardian Forces (GFs): Guardian Forces are mystical entities that that claim dominion over the elements. Selphie's superhuman abilities are a direct result of being junctioned to multiple Guardian Forces, which she can temporarily manifest in battle to assist him in combat. Some of Selphie's noteable Gaurdian Forces are listed below:

• Magic
• Guardian Force
• Limit Breaks

• Doom: Selphie cuts his opponent's thread of life, forcing them to live on borrowed time into the last of their life essence is used up, causing instant and immediate death once they run out.
• Firaga: Selphie launches an enormous fireball at his opponent.
• Haste: Selphie speeds up time around himself, raising his effective movement and combat speed.
• Slow: Selphie slows down time around his opponent reducing their effective combat and movement speed.
• Death: Selphie summons a reaper from a small void, and the reaper strikes the foe with its scythe, instantly killing them unless they are able to dodge it or have reisistant or immunity to instant death attacks.
• Demi: Crushes the foe in an orb of gravity and reduces their HP by half.
• Aura: A spell that allows Selphie to access his Limit Break state freely, it should be noted this spell effectivley nullifies her biggest weakness.
• Silence: Prevents the foe from casting spells.
• Sleep: Puts the foe to sleep.
• Scan: Reveals strength, Defense, Weaknesses and detailed information on strategy and/or personality on the target.
• Curaga: Can restore a large amount of his HP.
• Esuna: Removes Harmful status effects.
• Card: Selphie can transmutate his enemies into playing cards.
• Meteor: Selphie uses telekensis to bombard the target with meteors for a brief period of time.
• Meltdown: Shoots a powerful wave of energy at the target causing non-elemental damage, and reducing the enemies defense to 0.
• Holy: Inflicts extreme Holy-elemental damage to one target.
• Reflect: Generates a barrier that reflects Magic Attacks.
• Ultima: Selphie draws in large amounts of magical energy and unleashes in a massive explosion upon the enemy, dealing massive nonelemental damage.
• Apocolypse: Drawn from the sorceress Ultimecia. It is the single mightiest offensive spell, creating magical sigils that erupt in a catastrophic burst of light, dealing twice the damage of Ultima, which was thought to be the strongest spell by most magic users.

"Slots" Selphie's Limit break is very strange as it allows her to cast magic without having any guardian force junctioned to her. This should technically be impossible if she wasn't a sorceress. It gives her a chance for a few very powerful abilities to become useable to her.

• "The End" Selphie's strongest ability by far and one of the strongest ability in the game/series. Destroys almost any enemy, including Omega Weapon and Ultimecia. However, the spell will fail on the undead. (Selphie can instead one-shot undead with a Phoenix Down item or spells emulating their effects)
• "Full Cure" Fully restores the party's HP and removes all status ailments.
• "Wall" Casts Protect and Shell on the party
• "Rapture" Wings appear and carry enemies away from the battlefield
• Can cast any magic in the game up to 3 times in a row (even without a guardian force junctioned to herself or using the triple spell beforehand)
