Stamina: Extremely high. Cell is an incredibly powerful fighter who can battle against opponents for long periods of time, easily keeping up with bann throughout their fight and eventually outlasting him. However, though he has absorbed the Android Holly, he lacks her limitless stamina and can still be worn down over time

Stellar with ki blasts and attacks | Standard melee range. Interplanetary with ki blasts and attacks (His Kamehameha would've destroyed the entire solar system)
Standard Equipment: Nothing notable
Intelligence: Despite his young age and technical lack of experience, Cell has inherited the knowledge and skill of those he was created from. His combat skill and knowledge of ki allows him to easily matched Goku. He was able to outmaneuver and escape Piccolo and the other's attempts to hunt him down while constantly feeding on new humans and faunus in the process, and due to his knowledge on the techniques and personalities of the Ruby's Group, he is capable of easily manipulating them and playing to their differing desires. However, Cell is immensely overconfident and desires a good fight above all else
Weaknesses: Cell is extremely overconfident, and due to his Saiyan blood, he relishes a good challenge and will avoid fighting at full power and let opponents reach their most powerful states to get one. When outmatched, Cell will begin to panic and fly into a rage, fighting irrationally. He cannot absorb mechanical beings by puncturing them with his tail, and powerful enough strikes to his stomach can cause him to regurgitate whoever he absorbed by engulfing them with his tail, causing him to devolve if he regurgitates Holly. Continual use of her Aura will cause it to decay to the point where he can be left open to more significant damage. Aura's durability is cumulative; it will deplete with each attack he takes and can be brought down by characters of similar strength. Semblances drain aura by a small amount and without aura they cannot be used until the user's aura is recharged. Constant exposure to extreme temperature can drain the user's aura. Stronger summons take a few seconds to be fully summoned (Though he can summon parts of them instantly)
Notable Attacks / Techniques:
Ki: The fighting power and life force of a martial artist, a tangible energy derived from the user's vigor, courage, and mind. It can be used in a number of ways, such as to surpass the limits of one's body to greatly increase in strength, and it can be fired as blasts of energy or used to create defensive barriers. Ki is a large part of Cell's superhuman abilities, alongside his unusual composition and the varied DNA he possesses. Due to his nature as a hybrid created from the DNA of many fighters, Cell possesses many of their techniques.
- Death Beam: A technique gained from Frieza's DNA that takes the form of a small, highly concentrated beam of ki fired from the fingertip with enough force to punch straight through an opponent's body.
- Kamehameha: The closest thing that Cell has to a signature attack, gained from Bann's DNA. After charging up the attack in his hands and at his side, Cell fires the beam as a massive, blue burst of ki that is powerful enough to destroy planets, and, as Super Perfect Cell, can destroy the entire solar system.
- Perfect Barrier: Bringing his arms and legs to his chest, Cell charges up an aura before expelling it as a protective, expanding barrier that can block attacks and damage opponents who are caught in it.
- Spirit Bomb: Ruby's ultimate attack, taught to her by King Kai, and which Cell claims to know how to be able to perform due to possessing Ruby's DNA. It is utilized by gathering a vast amount of energy from all the lifeforms in his surroundings to create a massive, incredibly destructive sphere of ki. While one must have a pure heart to utilize it, it is possible that Cell is able to use it due to being pure evil, if he is even capable of using it at all. While it is incredibly powerful and can prove capable of completely destroying an opponent when used with sufficient power, it takes a very long time to charge and is therefore very difficult to use, though the charge time can be sped up by gathering energy from those who willingly and knowingly provide it. Given that Cell is a monster, however, there are few who would be willing to give him the ki for a Spirit Bomb.
Bio-Android Physiology: Cell is Doctor Watt's greatest creation, a "perfect warrior" created from the cells of the greatest warriors to ever visit Remnant, containing the DNA of Bann Belladonna, Vegeta, Raditz, Piccolo, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Frieza, and Cinder Fall. Due to this combination of genes, Cell possesses numerous favorable traits and special abilities. Like Frieza's race, he can survive the gravest of injuries and live in the vacuum of space, remaining alive even after destroying most of his body with his self-destruction, and he has the regenerative capabilities of a Namekian. However, his have been greatly enhanced, allowing him to regenerate as long as the special core nucleus contained within his head still remains. Even having the top half of his body vaporized or blowing himself to pieces is little more than a delay, and due to his Saiyan DNA, this will actually make him stronger. Cell grows more powerful over the course of combat, allowing him to constantly push his own limits during a fight and rise to higher and higher peaks in power. This ability grants a substantial boost in power when Cell is badly injured, allowing him to reach a whole new level of power once he regenerates.
On top of these powers, Cell likely has the other traits of the species whose DNA he has incorporated, such as the Namekian ability to extend their limbs and grow to greater sizes. While he must absorb the Android Holly to reach his full power and achieve his Perfect form, once he has reached this form, his cells remember it. Even if he is forcibly devolved into a lower level or regurgitates the Android and loses the state, he will regenerate back into his Perfect form once injured.
- Absorption: Cell can absorb others through his tail, either by stabbing them with it or opening it up to engulf them with it. When he stabs them with it, he breaks them down into an easily absorbed slurry of organic matter and absorbs their energy as well, leaving nothing but their clothing behind. He cannot absorb mechanical beings through this method. The second method absorbs his victim whole and keeps them unconscious within his body, where he can draw upon their power. However, powerful blows can make him regurgitate those he absorbs in this way.
- Cell Jr.: Similarly to the Namekian ability to spawn eggs containing their children from their mouth, Cell can produce and spawn Cell Juniors through cellular mitosis and birth them from his tail. His Cell Juniors lack his exact power and regeneration, but are still quite powerful, and are capable of easily proving a match for Piccolo, Vegeta, and Future Trunks.
- Super Saiyan: Cell's Saiyan DNA has granted him a state similar to that of the legendary Super Saiyan transformation, as evidenced by his identical aura and similar scale of power. He is able to maintain this state effectively indefinitely, similarly to the Full Power Super Saiyan transformation, and, as with Saiyans, can access higher forms and scales of power. He can utilize the Second and Third grades of the transformation, bulking himself up by forcibly flooding ki throughout his entire body, but such forms are inefficient, and the Third grade will become more of a detriment than a boon, slowing him down considerably in exchange for a great boost in power. After his Zenkai, Cell gained the crackling electrical aura of a Super Saiyan 2 as well as its power, allowing him to match SSJ2 Lime.
- Silver Eyes: A mysterious and powerful ability, the Silver Eyes manifests as blindingly bright light emitted from Cell's eyes. It was revealed that this energy originates from the God of Light, which is able to destroy the creations of the God of Darkness, such as the Grimm. Effects include petrifying them typically, but also sometimes disintegrates them or paralyzes them. Cell is likely able to control his Silver Eyes, due to his knowledge of them from Ruby's use of them.
- Glyphs: Cell's Semblance is Glyphs, which is the hereditary Semblance of the Schnee family and he gained due to Weiss' DNA. His Glyphs have a variety of effects on objects, monsters, and people, but he often uses his Glyphs for propulsion, as they can control motion, with the basic Glyph type exerting push forces on other objects and acting as a solid surface.
- Default Glyphs: Cell's default Glyph allows him to create a seemingly solid force, allowing Cell to push whatever is within their influence. This Glyph usually appears white or pale blue. Cell can stand on this Glyph, using it as a platform for various acrobatic movements, including breaking a free-fall and quickly reversing his motion by kicking off of it mid-air, as well as instantly amplifying the speed of objects both through the air and over surfaces. He can also use this Glyph to create a barrier.
- Summoning Glyphs: A Glyph unique to the Schnee family, Cell can summon avatars of the foes that he has defeated in combat and bring them to fight for their side. He has shown to be proficient enough to be able to summon people he has absorbed. He can also cause his summons to teleport and use his glyphs as surfaces to jump off. He is capable of manipulating the size of his summons.
