Other

 * Fatal Strikes
 * Special attack opportunites where Yuri will strike the enemy upon seeing a special glyph. Instantly kills weaker enemies, but only does major damage to stronger foes like bosses.

Feats

 * Can fight toe-to-toe with Imperial Knights, monsters, and other warriors.
 * Can survive the blazing heat of the Sands of Kogorh and the frigid cold of the Blade Drifts of Zophier with no special protective clothing.

 * Single-handedly defeated the Adephagos.
 * Sparred with Dhaos, Shizel, Barbatos Goetia, and Kratos Aurion.

Weaknesses

 * His abilities are solely tied to his bodhi blastia. Remove that, and he becomes just a regular human being.
 * He's prone to acting alone at the worst of times. This usually lands him in hot water.
 * While strong, he's not invincible and he knows it. He'll back down if he knows he's at a disadvantage.
 * Exposure to really dense aer can render him weak and unable to fight.
