    • Intelligence: Gifted (She is an avid reader, having a particular love of ancient legends and adventure stories, though her primary passion is for historical and archaeological books, showing vast knowledge in the field as a result of earning a degree at UCL. Lara's intelligence shines through as she identifies relics and understanding of the culture's origins. As well as this, she is easily able to overcome puzzles of the tombs she uncovers. Lara takes her work seriously, almost to the point of being obsessive, studying charts repeatedly. She is an expert in Japanese architecture and history and is a skilled combatant and hunter.)

    Weaknesses: She is very reckless, she also suffers from both PTSD and a damaged gut. She has incredibly bad luck (Although its rewards outweigh the risks she faces), has a bad habit of forgetting she has weapons she can use besides her bow and is significantly less experienced than her previous two counterparts, will not kill where it is unnecessary.

    Feats:

    Show/Hide

    Durability

    Throughout the events on Yamatai, the island on which Tomb Raider takes place, Lara shows extreme amounts of durability and resilience.

    Ingenuity

    During her time on the island, Lara displays incredible intelligence and problem-solving skills.

    Combat

    Lara has an intense desire to live, and while she is jarred by taking a life, her sense of self-preservation always prevails, and she fights and struggles as hard as she can continuously.

    Athletics

    Lara is incredibly agile and quick, with an astounding jump, as well as good arm and leg strength.

    The Island

    This is a miscellaneous section, not necessarily about Lara, but showing some of the features and abilities of the island and its ancient roots.

    • The Guardians: giant, previous-civilization beings. From the game, they seem to be 10-12 feet tall and at least 500 pounds, probably more. They wield giant swords and have enormous strength.

    Explanations

    • Peak-Physical Condition: She appears to be in peak-female human conditioning, having the strength, speed, acrobatic prowess, stamina, reflexes, hand to eye co-ordination & durability that are greater than those of Olympic athletes, she can push herself for several hours at a time. She has also learned all the ancient meditation techniques of the Byzantine Era, allowing her an improved healing speed.
      • Marksmanship: Lara was taught how to shoot by Roth and refined her skills at her school's rifle club. She has shown remarkable skills with many different firearms, including pistols, shotguns, and automatic weapons. Roth believes that Lara had received her sharp eye and steady hand from her mother, who was an artist.
      • Archery: Lara is also a very skilled archer, having taken it up during her school days, and continuing to practice during her college days by joining an archery club called the Sisters of Artemis. She expanded her skill further after discovering codices detailing Byzantine archery techniques. She can rapidly fire up to three arrows within a few seconds or hit multiple targets simultaneously.
      • Combat Skills: She has decent hand-to-hand combat skills and was said to have a "heavy swing" by Reyes' friend Dana, who is a combat instructor. Lara has also shown that she is strong enough to snap a man's neck with her thighs. She was even able to defend herself from two muggers by using an umbrella as a weapon. Lara can even fight blindfolded. The fighting style she used while fighting Dana, resembles kickboxing.
      • Guerrilla Warfare: As Lara is generally outnumbered in combat scenarios, she relies on stealth, hit and run tactics, and traps to get an advantage on those she faces. Despite not being formally trained, Lara is incredibly skilled at picking off entire squads of trained soldiers with little difficulty.
      • Hunting/Tracking: Lara has shown to be quite adept at hunting for food and resources. She was able to track a pack of wolves to their den to retrieve Roth's distress beacon and has helped the remnants gather food in preparation for Trinity's attack.
        • Foraging: Lara can distinguish edible, poisonous, and medicinal plants for various uses.
      • Superior Athleticism: Lara took gymnastics when she was younger. As a result, she is very acrobatic and has great finesse, performing wall scrambles to reach higher levels or swinging on cloth banners as if it were a trapeze. As she hardens into a survivor, she can combine her scramble move to attack enemies in their weak spots. Lara is a strong swimmer and can hold her breath for a decent amount of time. She has even learned all the advanced mountaineering skills of the ancient Byzantine Era.
      • Pain Tolerance: Her tolerance for physical trauma & fatigue is far greater than the average human being. She even learned ancient meditation techniques that allowed her to ignore pain. Combined with her tenacity, she has given her a high resistance to torture, refusing to give any information to Dr. Taffe despite the severe beating she was getting from the giant goon with him.
    • High-Level Intelligence: Lara has spent years studying different aspects of archaeological and anthropological fields, being able to easily identify buildings and artifacts to their period of origin from nothing more than what she can see, ranging from at least the Kamakura period (possibly before) right up to the Second World War and Cold War Era, as well as the Byzantine elements of the Remnants attire. However, Lara's brilliance is not just limited to her field of study. Lara also has a good memory, as she was able to recognize the cross of the Deathless Prophet, which she'd previously seen in a book years earlier.
      • Archaeological / Occult Knowledge: Lara has a vast knowledge of ancient history and culture, as shown when she could read the scroll inside the hilt of the katana, which is used by the Stormguard General to commit seppuku. She was even able to recognize the powers of certain supernatural beings, such as the sorcery of Himiko, or the immortality & healing of the Prophet.
      • Acute senses: Lara has very acute senses which give her excellent situational awareness, to the point where she is even capable of fighting blindfolded. Her senses also help her track and hunting skill.
      • Attention to Detail: Lara is capable of picking out details in her surroundings to both aid her in combat and remove obstacles and hazards from her path. Lara has also shown that she's able to spot an empty cylinder on a revolver.
      • Deductive Reasoning: Lara has great deductive skills. Lara was able to discover Mathias' intentions for Sam to be used as a vessel for the return of Himiko. She completed her father's research and found the Tomb of the Deathless prophet, and when the Tomb was empty, she made the connection between the Oasis & the lost city of Kitezh when even her father & Trinity's most brilliant minds could not. She was also able to figure out Jacob's true identity, as well as the Identity of Baba Yaga.
      • Multilingual: Lara can understand several languages, including Japanese (though she has difficulty with Kanji), Russian, Mandarin, and German, all of which she can speak to some extent as well. She has even learned how to read several ancient languages that different from their modern counterparts and even some dead languages, including Greek, Mongolian, Mam, Quechua, and Yucatec.
      • Navigation: Lara has an excellent sense of direction, and can set herself on the right path with minimal information.She also seems to have studied cartography and orienteering, as she can find hidden areas from directions on monoliths, and map out areas.
        • Astronomical Knowledge: Adding to Lara's sense of direction, she can navigate by stars, likely taught to her by Roth. Even knowing about Axial Precession and its effect on where stars appear in the sky. She used this to deduce that a riddle in Mexico had directions leading to Peru.
      • Toxicology: Lara has some experience in first aid, which she learned during her time working as a barmaid. She was able to treat Roth's leg, which had been mauled by a pack of wolves. She was also able to tend to her wounds, which she received on the island of Yamatai. Upon her being in Siberia, she was able to utilize herbs for healing the extensive physical injuries that she received. She was even able to craft Poison Arrows from mushrooms found around Siberia.
      • Resourcefulness: Lara has shown to be very resourceful, using salvage found around various parts of Yamatai to improve her weapons. This is shown clearly when she discovers a metal rod in a nearby bunker when searching for a way to light the fuel to signal the plane, strapping it to her torch to remove her reliance on bright objects. Another example is when she uses a nearby grenade launcher to kill a Solarii at the burning stronghold, later strapping it to her assault rifle. Lara is also able to use her environment, throwing dirt to stun foes and use rocks to bludgeon them. Lara learned how to pick locks, using nothing more than a hairpin. She even learned the formula for Greek Fire.
      • Acting Ability: Lara was initially shown to be a poor actress. However, she improved considerably, to the point she was able to convince agents of Trinity that she was unconscious to make them leave her unsupervised so she could escape captivity.
      • Unbreakable Will: Lara has shown on many occasions that she is incredibly tenacious, and will do anything to accomplish her goals and do what she believes is right.
      • Pickpocket: Lara has nimble hands, as she was able to steal a remote detonator from Konstantin without anyone noticing.
      • Escape Artistry: Lara has been captured numerous times, usually relying on herself to be freed. Lara has escaped from a snake pit and a gulag using nothing but what was in her vicinity and has even managed to escape armed men, on multiple occasions, using improvised weapons and clever tactics.
      • Driving Skill: Lara has shown to have excellent control of vehicles, able to lose a tail while driving a van. Lara was also shown to be a competent motorcyclist both on and off-road telling Jonah she owned a bike before being shipwrecked on Yamatai.
      • Piloting Skill: In the final issue of Survivor's Crusade, it's revealed that Lara can fly a helicopter, she was also able to level a plane while it was falling out of the sky.
