Stamina: Very high (She is capable of fighting dozens of Noises without breaking a sweat)

Range: Standard melee range

Standard Equipment:
 * Symphogear: A powerful armor made of pieces from prehistoric relics, used initially to fight the Noise. They activate when the user sings the sacred words to harmonize with the relic.
 * Gungnir: The Symphogear that was given by Kanade when a fragment of the armor got stuck in her body. Due to the fact that it is only a fragment of the original gear, it's less armored and cannot create the spear that Kanade had. However, Hibiki manage to fix this flaw by using the pistons (and later rockets) in her arms and legs to amplify the power of her attacks and gain a boost of speed. Combined with her melee training, it gives her great versatility in combat.
 * Armed Gear: Powerful weapons manifested by the Symphogear, which can take many forms based on the properties of each Gear. Hibiki is the exception since her relic is a fragment. But later she got one like that of Kanade's, but this time the spear directly connected to her hands, which she can increase in size, use rockets to amplify the speed of the impact and morph it as drill-like arm.

Intelligence: Very skilled melee fighter and martial artist. Adaptable to situations (to a degree), though she is rather naive

Weaknesses: She sometimes restrains herself to fight against others (even if it is self-defense) and can easily lose control of herself when the situation does not go as she expected. When she goes berserk, her moves become more predictable and she doesn't care about her own safety.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:


 * Berserk: It has been stated that when the body of a Gear user transforms in a much powerful form, the user can lose control of their emotions or fail while attempting to activate the Ignite Module. It make the gear to complete take control of the user, increasing all their powers to the point of being able to regenerate lost limbs, such as the manifestation of Armed Gears. However, the user becomes bloodlusted and loses reasons of self-preservation.


 * Ignite Module: The Power Up resulting from the Ignite Project. It's essentially a way to take advantage of the Berserk Mode without losing control of oneself. It has three levels of activation:
 * Nigreda: The first activation has the lowest amount of increased power, but has a longer amount of operation time.
 * Albedo: The second activation grants higher power, but less operation time is available.
 * Rubedo: The third activation has the highest output, but the rate at which it drains the timer causes it to be highly impractical.
 * Superb Song: A song performed by a Symphogear user who unleashes the power of the Symphogear in a strong attack. However, even small amounts of discord between the user and her Symphogear can cause serious damage to the user's body. Hibiki, due to being fused with her relic, has the ability to use the Superb Song much more freely than other Gear users and can even drain the energy of other Superb Songs. This last skill however is a severe burden on her.
 * X-Drive: This mode is hidden in the gears under 3001655722 locks, and it can only be unlocked when it obtains a high level of phonic gain. In this state, all Symphogears users, regardless of their normal capabilities, are able to fly and survive in space, and also gain telepathy between each other. All their stats get a massive boost, including the manifestation of their Armed Gears.
 * Power of Deicide: Is later revealed that Gungnir is the same lance that was used to pierce through Jesus Christ, making it a god-slaying weapon that can nullify the powers of beings that can be conceptualized as "Divine".
 * Divine Monster: After absorbing the divine power that was given to Tiki, Hibiki became a giant cocoon that gave birth to a mutant giant monster. Its capabilities are unknown but it is possible that it has the same causality abilities as Tiki's And Yohua's.
 * TESTAMENT: By using alchemy on herself, Hibiki can transform her armor into a golden version of itself with enhanced gauntlets. She then unleashes a barrage of strikes powerful enough to slowly launch both herself and her target into the air until she has punched right through said target.
