It can materialize impossibilities turning them into possibilities; it is that which helped seal Nyx in the sea of souls and that which allowed Makoto to go from nearly being one-shot by Nyx to enduring Nyx's immutable death attacks)
Attack Potency: Building Level (Lowest tier Magic Skills produce this much energy) | Universal+ (During the events of "New Cinema Labyrinth", he fights alongside, and as such should be comparable to, Ren Amamiya after the Greed Arc), eventually Extraverse level (Fights and Participates in the final attack that finishes off Enlil with Willpower amplified, Enlil being the one to manifest the cinema labyrinth, a realm that holds the Akashic Record, and the Akashic Records being a different name for the Heavenly Throne, or in other words Kether. Enlil, as the creator of the realm, should be superior to the personas contained in the films of the theatre, which would include the likes of Metatron and Shiva) | Extraverse level (During the events of "Shadow of the Labyrinth" fights and defeats Zeus overtaking Elizabeth, which conventionally requires one to be more powerful than the person you're overtaking. Zeus is the highest ranking Persona putting him above the likes of Lucifer and Metatron. Also defeats Chronos, an aspect of death and creator of time, who exists in a sort of a duality with Zeus) | Extraverse level (Fights and defeats both the Reaper and Elizabeth, the latter casually summoning Masakado and Metatron) | Extraverse level (Fights and defeats Nyx Avatar, the deepest Archetype in the entire collective unconsciousness, whose attacks are shown to be damaging to the rooftop of Tartarus, which corresponds to Atziluth and it's Sefira. Later is shown to actually deal damage to Nyx's true form, with her presence alone shown to shatter it, and Tartarus is a part of its body), much higher while utilizing the Universe (At the achievement of the Universe Arcana, Makoto was able to contend with Nyx's core, eventually manipulating the collective unconscious to seal Nyx away. The Universe Arcana itself, symbolizing the realization of a human's full potential, putting Makoto above even the strongest Persona Users and Archetypes, as well as the power that lies at the beginning of everything and can actualize anything, and making him the most powerful Persona User in the franchise)
Speed: Speed of Light Reactions and Combat Speed, FTL Reactions and Combat Speed with Willpower (Relatively equal to the Mid-Game Phantom Thieves) | Irrelevant (Consistently fights Atziluth level entities who exist beyond the concept of dimensions and exists as a deeper reality than Yetzirah, which transcends the temporal dimension, unreachable to those who are bound by space-time and operating on conceptual time which exceeds measures applicable to physical time) | Irrelevant (Kept up with Nyx's Avatar) | Irrelevant (Attains unity with the universe, with everything dwelling within him)
Lifting Strength: Class M (Should be comparable to Ren Amamiya, who could do stand against Cognition Wakaba's blasts, which can blow away dozens of gold blocks), higher with Willpower | Irrelevant, higher with Willpower
Striking Strength: Universe level+, eventually Extraverse level | Extraverse level, higher with Willpower | Extraverse level, higher with Willpower | Extraverse level, much higher with the Universe
Durability: Universe level+, eventually Extraverse level | Extraverse level, higher with Willpower (Tanked attacks from Atziluth level and higher entities) | Extraverse level, higher with Willpower (Survived attacks from Nyx Avatar) | Extraverse level (Can tank immutable death attacks from true form Nyx and went on to outright disregard the damage they used to deal to him), much higher with the Universe Arcana
Stamina: High
Intelligence: Genius. At maxed social stats, Makoto's intelligence is considered to be on the level of a genius
Weaknesses: Makoto inherits the elemental weaknesses of his equipped Persona if they have one. He needs an Evoker to summon his Personas. Using the Great Seal sacrifices his soul, and would thus be out-of-character for him to use outside of extreme circumstances
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Persona Summoning: The ability to utilize Personas, powerful manifestations of the mind and soul. Personas can move and attack independently of their users, allowing for double-teaming between their user and the equipped Persona. Each Persona has a set of elemental affinities, which also apply to their user while the Persona is equipped. Unlike the respective casts of Persona 4 and 5, the cast of Persona 3 can use their Personas in reality. Makoto's initial Persona is Orpheus, its evolved form is Orpheus Telos, and his ultimate Persona is Messiah. Each Persona has a unique set of statistics and elemental affinities, which also apply to their user while the Persona is equipped. The Personas that Makoto has access to are listed here.
Persona Skills: Personas are all able to use certain skills and spells related to the stories/mythologies of the figure they are based on. Persona-users and their Personas can use skills and spells independently of each other. These skills range from amplified physical attacks, highly-malleable elemental attacks, status buffs and debuffs, ailment infliction, passive defenses and more, can manifest instantly and with a thought, as well as affect the mind, soul, information and concept of the target.
