Same as before but to a much higher degree with the additions of Flight, Large Size (Type 1), Transformation (Can transform into a car-like form), Weapon Creation (The Prog Ares created a Blaster), Likely Matter Manipulation (Can be outfitted with equipment and parts from the Vita including its core which it uses to create solid machines and weapons) and Passive Absorption (The Vita passively absorbs Dark Matter and Ether around it which allows it to manipulate Dark Matter), Bind, Plasma Manipulation (Skells can manipulate Plasma to perform a number of attacks such as powerful blasts to plasma swords), Self-Destruction (Via Detonation-F Superweapon which self-destructs upon the Skell's defeat), Weather Manipulation (Can create lightning storms with the Voltaic tusk weapons), Now effects such as Energy Manipulation, Fire Manipulation, Electricity Manipulation, Gravity Manipulation, Sleep Manipulation, Power Nullification, Perception Manipulation, Paralysis Inducement, Empathic Manipulation are passively built into attacks

Attack Potency: Planet level (Comparable to Cross), higher with Statistic Amplification | Planet level (Skells like the Ares are naturally more powerful than Mimeosomes such as Cross and Elma), higher with Statistic Amplification

Striking Strength: Planet level | Planet level
Durability: Planet level (Can take hits from the Vita) | Planet level (More durable than before)
Stamina: Likely Infinite
Range: Extended melee range. Hundreds of kilometres with projectiles | Plantery with Skell. Hundreds of meters possibly hundreds of kilometres with Absorption and Matter Manipulation
Standard Equipment: Her Dual Swords, Dual Guns and Mimeosome
Intelligence: Genius (Aided humanity in advancing their technology to the point where they could reach faster than light speeds and create weapons [namely Skells] in order to defend themselves from threats such as the Ganglion or the Ghosts)
Weaknesses: Elma's real body is in stasis while she pilots her Mimeosome and thus is susceptible to being attacked if her opponent learns about it.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Overdrive:
Overdrive is a technique given to humans through the use of Mimeosomes. Once active it grants an immense boost to the user's fighting capabilities boosting their attack potency, durability, etc for a limited amount of time however, with a combination of arts and skill it is possible for the duration to last endlessly.
When activated for Skells, Overdrive gives a few extra perks such as passive Damage Transferal, Probability Manipulation, Damage Boost and temporary Invulnerability during attacks.
Soul Voice/Challenge:
A Soul Voice/Challenge is a mechanic in XBX that allows the user to activate certain abilities, buffs or just heal without the need of arts. These effects are typically triggered by certain actions such as "opening the battle with a melee attack". Abilities granted by Soul Voice/Challenge include more Healing, Statistics Amplification, Resistance Negation, Invulnerability and many more.

Note: Dark Matter in Xenoblade Chronicles X is likely just Matter (e.g Solids, liquids, gasses) due to the Vita being to manipulate Dark Matter while in a room that only consists of solids, liquids and gasses and showed to be able to create solid machines and liquid fuel.
Note 2: Elma unlike other members of B.L.A.D.E does not have a data mind, instead she has her own self piloting her mimeosome from afar and thus is why the hax provided by data minds does not apply to her.
