The master of this emotion attempts to save all things in creation. This Doppel resembles a giant, floating Soul Gem.

All of the above, but upscaled to her new level, Immortality (Types 1, 3, and 9, exists in a higher plane of existence separated from the normal universe), Cosmic Awareness (Aware of all possible futures and pasts, of all universes. Can perceive entire universes "frame by frame" and hear even the smallest of sounds, even in ones she does not exist in), Non-Physical Interaction, Higher-Dimensional Existence, Avatar Creation (Used a physical representation to enter in Homulily's world), Acausality (Type 5; Became an existence which is no longer a part of the universe, with nobody being able to neither interact with nor remember her anymore, as she's now completely outside time, cause and effect, without any kind of connection to the world), Incorporeality, Omnipresence and Abstract Existence (Type 1.

Attack Potency: Island level (With the use of Magical Squall, called Puruwia★Magica in Magia Record, Madoka parted a cloud with a massive kinetic energy output), Moon level as Doppel Kriemhild Gretchen (Her Doppel can level the Earth and then reduce it all to dust) | Unknown (Madoka grows exponentially stronger after each reset, thus her final timeline self [after an unknown, but still immense amount of resets] should be far stronger than her fifth timeline self, who should be comparable to fourth timeline Kriemhild Gretchen) | Multiverse level+ (Completely reformed the multiverse, which is stated to be made of infinite universes, from destroying the concept of Witches in every universe, past and future. Ascended to a higher level of existence to become a conceptual entity as the Law of Cycles itself, which encompasses the multiverse as well as the nonexistent multiverse beyond it. Implied to be on par with Ultimate Kriemhild Gretchen)
Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ (Should be at least on par with her third timeline counterpart [Likely is her third timeline counterpart.], becomes faster as Doppel Kriemhild) | At least Massively Hypersonic+, likely higher (Far above all the other magical girls in the series. Madoka becomes faster after each reset) | Omnipresent (Exists as a concept throughout the entire Puella Magi multiverse. Can also manifest outside the timelines and in the nonexistent multiverse)
Lifting Strength: Unknown, at least Class 50 (Far exceeds any regular magical girl, such as Mami Tomoe or Yachiyo Nanami) | Unknown, exponentially higher than before | Immeasurable
Striking Strength: Island level | Unknown | Multiverse level+
Durability: At most Island level, Moon level as Doppel Kriemhild. Higher for her Soul Gem (Soul Gems tend to be the most durable part of a magical girl, as their purpose is to provide a safe, compact 'body' for magical girls according to Kyubey) | Unknown | Multiverse level+ (Existing as an abstract concept makes killing her very difficult without a high level of Concept Manipulation)
Stamina: At least Superhuman (Rated as a 5.5 in stamina, making her immensely superior to Sayaka Miki) Transformation into a Doppel Witch resets the corruption on the Soul Gem, restoring their stamina | Practically Infinite, due to being leagues above all the other magical girls | Likely Infinite as a Goddess
Range: Thousands of Kilometers (The soul gem can only possess the magical girl's body up to 100 meters away), Interdimensional with Extrasensory Perception (All magical girls can detect witches location from outside of their barriers). Planetary once she becomes a Doppel Witch | Planetary, the manga incarnation has Multiversal+ range (Saved the magical girls of all timelines and worlds before transforming into Ultimate Madoka) | At least Multiversal+ (Able to affect both the infinite multiverse and the nonexistent multiverse where she constantly fights Ultimate Kriemhild Gretchen), seemingly Higher with Pink Kyubeys and Pink Feathers
Standard Equipment: A Staff that can behave as a bow, a badminton racket in her Haregi, and her soul gem
Intelligence: At least Average as a Magical Girl, possibly Above Average (Despite being looked upon as the most naive of the magical girls, she was smart enough to avoid making a wish and made a complex wish while understanding its complications), Doppel Witches generally have a mind of their own in addition to their 'Masters', however it is usually equal to their magical girl form albeit more violent and bordering on the morally gray | Omniscient within the World of Wraiths (Her omnipresence allows her to see all timelines past, present, and future as well as shown to have awareness of all timelines; she can even see timelines that no longer exist and have yet to come to pass; shown in Nagisa's Wish that Ultimate Madoka is also aware of the memories of all magical girls), Nigh-Omniscient otherwise (Still aware of everything mentioned beforehand, with the exception of the future of timelines such as the Magi-Reco universe and obsolete universes, such as where the Isolation Zone is)
Weaknesses: Destroying her Soul Gem would kill her immediately. As Doppel Kriemhild Gretchen, Madoka is actually asleep with the witch itself in full control | None notable
- Accidentally destroyed Mikihara City in the process of one-shotting Walpurgisnacht as a Magical Girl in the fourth timeline, which is exponentially weaker than the Final Timeline Madoka (At least Moon level, Attack Potency Feat)
- In the second timeline, Madoka was capable of deflecting Patricia's attacks.

- Magical Squall / Puruwia ★ Magica: Originally shown in the final episode and the Homulily fight, she showers the sky with enough arrows to cover an entire city, Magia Record explains that it reduces the attack potency of those affected, and can restore the stamina of comrades. In the final timeline, however, it was shown that the arrows can travel through time and become duplicates of Madoka herself.
- Pluvia Neuer: Essentially Magical Squall but using her racket instead of a ball. It has a chance of inflicting 'Darkness' which will result in the opposing character losing their accuracy and having their weaknesses more exploitable.

- Let's have a good year!: Gives the connected magical girl a massive attack potency boost and heals her tremendously.

- Weapon Creation: Most Puella Magi are capable of creating weapons out of thin air using their magic. While most select specific weapons, some with a heightened mastery of their abilities can create different weapons with their own minor capabilities.
- Telekinesis: On top of creating weapons, they can also control their weapons in the air and with no limit to how much at a time. The same applies to many weapons that they have enhanced.
- Puella Magi Physiology: Because their bodies no longer harbor a soul, they effectively act like flesh puppets that have no real impact on the 'essence' of a magical girl. According to several interviews and in-series showings, a magical girl can have all their blood drained from their body and still fight with little impairment, or have their head torn off or shot through and still walk just fine.
- Fusionism: When two opposing magical abilities (Like Fire Manipulation and Ice Manipulation) or opposing main abilities (Like a magical girl who wished for Creation and another who wished for Existence Erasure) combine their attacks, the result is an attack the multiplies in power. In addition, if two soul gems were to harbor the same body, the result can be them swapping control or fusing into one magical girl, albeit temporarily.
- Extrasensory Perception: Magical Girls were shown to be capable of detecting despair and magic from within their cities as well as being able to telepathically communicate with one another. As of Magia Record, it is shown that their abilities extend well into other cities and is not limited to emotions or magic.
- Doppel Witch Transformation: In the light of a new miracle, magical girls have now gained the ability to become a half-witch whenever their soul gem reaches maximum corruption, resulting in a Doppel Witch. Unlike normal witches, both the witch and the magical girl are in control of their respective bodies and in a short time will revert back into a magical girl. However, older magical girls have been stated to keep traits of their Doppel form even after reverting, and the same for magical girls who use the transformation for too long.
- Witch's Kiss: Allows the user to corrupt the enemy into despair and allows the user to manipulate the enemy. Used by her Doppel.
- False Paradise: The user absorbs the enemy into its body, creating a paradise suited for the enemy, this technique was stated in lore. This ability is caused passively the nature of Kriemhild Gretchen's body as well. Used by the Doppel as well.
- Barrier: The standard ability for most witches, the barrier is a small pocket universe that can greatly vary in terms of size made to protect the witch from the outside world, only accessible by magical girls or when witches allow access. They are based around the witch's former life's mental condition prior to dying and becoming a witch.
- Familiar Summoning: Another standard ability, a witch can summon several familiars (or create alongside the barrier) to fight on her behalf. If they absorb enough life energy, they can become duplicates of the witch itself.
- Reality Warping: A witch can manipulate reality to cause issues for their enemies. This has been shown from manipulating the outsides of the barrier to attack the enemy, preventing them from even entering, or manipulate unresistant enemies themselves. In the case of the Haregi Doppel, her reality warping is potent enough to grant a wish on such a massive scale, that every being in the entire planet would be crushed as a consequence.
- Pink Incubators: Ultimate Madoka would also later create Pink Incubators to monitor the Magia Record universe. She seemingly creates them for space where she cannot normally interact with.
Notes:
Goddess Madoka had the power that allowed her to rewrite the concepts in all universes. Rewriting concepts (even if it seems insignificant) affects all of space.
Then she (through some paradox) destroyed her own future dark form. After that there was a complete reset of the causality of the world (as if former concepts and all related events never existed). Madoka herself became a conceptual entity (which means that it will take at least same level of power to destroy or rewrite the concept of Madoka).
However, Homura was not happy with the current state of affairs. So she gained the godlike power to rewrite the concept of Madoka and reset the world once again.
The Madokaverse includes 4-dimensional space. In Puella Magi Homura Tamura it was revealed that there are infinite universes.
