Attack Potency: Multiverse level+ (Created a new universe while the original was being consumed by the Unseen Chaos, which both he and Lightning said would be easy for him to destroy; struck down Mwynn, the original creator of the universe)

Speed: Massively FTL+ (Able to keep pace with Lightning, his attacks reach this speed)

Lifting Strength: Unknown, at least Class Y (Can reach this strength through an increase in size alone)

Striking Strength: Multiverse level+

Durability: Multiverse level+ (Endured a beating from Lightning, tanked the backlash of his Hypernova, possibly survived the destruction of the old universe)

Stamina: Infinite (Continually casts exceedingly powerful spells during his fight with Lightning and continued to resist even after being torn to pieces by Lightning's attacks, and is only put down for good thanks to the combined efforts of Lightning and her friends, but even then it is possible that he survived the attack and the end of the universe)

Standard Equipment: Double Deity, a dual-ended sickle-like weapon formed using Pulse and Lindzei

Intelligence: Created the Fal'Cie gods, Hallowed Pulse, Etro, and Lindzei with his will. Bhunivelze also orchestrated the events of Lightning Returns from the beginning, creating the Order of Salvation and playing with the emotions of several members of the cast through the use of promises and illusions, including Lightning and Hope, for much of the game. He also used Hope Estheim, who by that point in the series had become a widely respected and a capable leader as well as an expert on the time paradoxes, as his vessel, acquiring Hope's knowledge on manipulating time and space as well as the ability to experience emotions to better understand and use them to further manipulate his foes to his ends. As the God of Light, he also wields the mightiest magics in the universe, including the ultimate elemental spells and the mighty Ultima and Heartless Angel in addition to nearly-exclusive abilities like the devastating Hypernova and Almagest. He is also aware of all the planes in the universe, easily retrieving Lightning from Etro's throne and taking the two into Cosmogenesis for the final battle.

Weaknesses: He is exceedingly arrogant and power-hungry, acquiring emotions has left him feeling terrified of his potential mortality and has left him impatient towards achieving his goal. Weaknesses provided by the "Heart and Soul"

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Doom: Places a timer above his enemies' head. When it reaches zero, they instantly die.
  • Monad Beget/Wings of Destruction: Summons four glowing spheres, before making them explode.
