Powers and Abilities:

• Floor 1 (The First Day)
• Floor 1 (Post-The First Day)

Peak Human Physical Characteristics, Has some swordsmanship knowledge (Practiced with a Bokken casually over the span of a few years and watched YouTube videos occasionally to improve, but never got into an actual life or death fight until SAO), Has some martial arts experience (Practiced martial arts ever since she was a child, and though she formally quit going to martial art classes when she was 14, she continued to practice occasionally afterwards), Regeneration (Low-Mid over time (All VR Avatars can regenerate entire limbs within 2-3 minutes)), Statistics Amplification (Sword Skills amplify the user's speed and power, with the downside of having a post-motion stun for a brief period of time afterwards. All attacks also have a low chance of critically hitting the opponent, dealing even more damage), Statistics Reduction (via continuous powerful attacks, such as multi-hit Sword Skills or various critical hits. Slows down the enemy's movement speed), Status Effect Inducement (via Sword Skills. If one can directly land a Sword Skill on an opponent towards a vital point such as the head, the opponent will be stunned for upwards of 10 seconds), Healing (Accelerating recovery via Recovery Potions over a period of 5 minutes), Status Effect Inducement Nullification (via Antidote Potions. Only works against debuffs on Kirito's power or below), Immortality (Type 2), Limited Reality Warping (via Incarnation. Allows the user to change the world to an extent via their willpower or imagination. For those who are not conscious or adept with this ability, it is primarily used to increase the chances of winning a fight against stronger opponents or create miracles not possible normally. All virtual avatars are capable of Incarnation, however only those who recognize this ability can consciously use it to their advantage), Resistance to Pain (All virtual reality avatars have a pain absorber, which lessens the amount of pain one feels to negligible amounts, even with injuries such as decapitation)

Same as previous but to a greater extent, with the addition of Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Skilled Swordswoman and Skilled Hand-to-Hand Combatant (Claire by this point honed her fighting instincts enough to come up with her own fighting style that includes both swordsmanship and martial arts to survive this long), Skilled Crafter & Blacksmith, has a chance of completely ignoring Debuffs (via the Iron Ring of Lyusula)

Attack Potency: Street level (Able to fight evenly with Frenzy Boars and Dire Wolves. Both Frenzy Boars and Dire Wolves should be comparable to real Wild Boars and Gray Wolves/Dire Wolves. With Incarnation, she is able to one-shot monsters higher level than Dire Wolves) | Wall level (Greatly stronger than before, should be comparable to Gergy, who held up a collapsing mineshaft)

Speed: Peak Human travel speed (SAO Avatars, even at level 1, are superior to normal humans) | At least Peak Human travel speed (Should be much faster than before)

Lifting Strength: Peak Human (SAO Avatars, even at level 1, are superior to normal humans) | Class 10 (Stronger than before. Claire focuses both on the STR and VIT stats, and should be comparable to Gergy, who held up a collapsing mineshaft)

Striking Strength: Street Class | Wall Class

Durability: Street level (Comparable to Klein, who's able to take a hit to the genitals by a Frenzy Boar charging at full speed) | Wall level (Greatly stronger than before. Her VIT is superior to her STR)

Stamina: Infinite physically (Virtual Reality Avatars can never get physically tired; limited only to the mental power of the person themselves), Superhuman mentally (Because of her one-track mind, she won't stop until her body does. Continues to fight even in hopeless situations, such as being surrounded by multiple enemies comparable to her)

Intelligence: Though Claire is on average a B-student academically, she is incredibly skilled at understanding how other people are feeling and their intentions, to the point where it can be referred to as a practical "skill outside of the system" that can help either in-combat or out-of-combat. She is also a determined learner, willing to dedicate as much time as possible to learn how to achieve a goal, though at times she can become one-track minded when trying to achieve said goal. In addition, Claire is an incredibly competent planner. Because of her dedication to learn and achieve something, she is extremely meticulous with her planning, accounting for nearly every aspect of a situation and all of the options she can take. Though not that experienced yet, Claire is still a competent combatant, being able to keep track of multiple enemies and actions at once and knowing how to use the environment to her advantage.

Weaknesses: 

• Sword Skills have a slight post-motion stun at the end of them in exchange for increased power.

• Claire can at times become one-track minded when trying to achieve a goal, making her lose some perception around her.

• When things don't go as planned, Claire struggles to adapt and improvise for the situation.

• If she has a long time to plan and have either no deadline or a deadline that's far away, Claire will most likely procrastinate until the last minute to actually plan the situation out.

• Claire struggles to concentrate most of the time in the beginning of fights because of her innate overthinking nature.

• Though it is difficult to manipulate her directly, she can still be prone to emotional outbursts and blind rages.

• Because of Incarnation's passive nature based on the imagination and willpower of the individual, at worst, if the user thinks a situation is hopeless or impossible to succeed, Incarnation will instead have a negative effect and make that situation true.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

All VR Avatars

Incarnation: A secret skill passed down by Integrity Knights since ancient times, and one of the most important concepts in the Sword Art Online franchise. Incarnation refers to the ability to change the state of the world through pure willpower and imagination. For residents of the Underworld, it is a constant passive that dictates whether they succeed or fail in anything. The more confident one is in their abilities and the more of a positive reputation they have, the more the world shall bend in their favor. It is the power which Sacred Arts derive from. Its effects are versatile, as the power has been used to wield invisible blades, create swords from the user's blood, transmute objects, increase the chances of an event happening, and much more. However, the power of an Incarnation ability can be matched by another Incarnation ability, and the use of Incarnation is mentally exhausting, requiring a lot of concentration and energy to perform. If the user is in a state where their will is not strong enough, they become unable to use Incarnation. There are a limited amount of people who can use Incarnation to its full potential, and much practice and experience are needed to be able to use it. This ability is most prominent in the Underworld, as this ability is one of that world's core mechanics. However this ability has also been shown multiple times throughout the series before the Alicization arc.

Outside System Skills

Outside System Skills (OuSS): An ability, usually referred to as a skill, that either involves unconventional use of system-controlled skills, the exploitation of loopholes in the system, or the use of the player's human abilities to enhance their gameplay. Although such abilities are referred to as "skills", none are regulated by the system, though some involve making use of system skills in ways that were not intended by the developers of the game.

These skills are developed through a player's capability in game and are acquired through experience and practice put in by the player themselves throughout playing time. In Claire's case, because she's behind in levels compared to most other Clearers, as well as because of other experiences, Claire decided to adopt and develop some of her own Outside System Skills to keep up with those that are higher level than her.

• Switch - A technique where two players switch positions in-between an enemy's attack to recover Hit Points, chain attacks together without worrying about a post-motion delay, and/or burden the learning abilities of enemies AIs.
• Innate Understander - Claire has an uncanny ability to either figure out quickly or know exactly how other people are currently feeling, even subconsciously. This eventually applies to herself, boosting her own mental defenses.

Skills

Skills: Abilities that a player can use in-game. In Sword Art Online, Skills are essentially passives from any other game.

Sword Skills

Sword Skills (SS): A series of movements that allows the user to attack much faster than they normally could, but the movements required to perform the Sword Skill are fixed and cannot be canceled by the user after they begin performing it. They are essentially Sword Art Online's actives from any other game. The user will also be left in a short aftercast delay when the Sword Skill is finished. Contrary to their name, Sword Skills do not have to be used with a sword.
