His Flashfreeze Heatwave is much stronger than his normal attacks), Can ignore conventional durability with Half-Cold Half-Hot (His ice attacks were able to freeze solid half of USJ Nomu's body despite it being as durable as All Might.

Stamina: Superhuman (Can keep fighting with Deku even while being affected by frostbite. Fought continuously for eight hours with Pixie-Bob's Earth Beasts. Is able to endure a long battle against Real Steel. Can survive the overuse of either side of his Quirk for an extended period of time)
Range: Standard Melee Range, up to Hundreds of Meters with Half-Cold Half-Hot (Able to create ice structures hundreds of meters in size and envelop several city blocks in fire. Can completely froze solid part of a city with his Great Glacier Aegir)
Standard Equipment: His Hero Costume, which was made from a special fiber that is able to endure the cold and heat of his Quirk. There is a special device near his neck that senses his body temperature, and it automatically cools down or heats up accordingly. It's used for supporting the vest;
- Combat Vest: It's capable of sensing Shoto's temperature which automatically cools down or heats up according to the facet of his Quirk he's using in order to stabilize his body temperature.
- Utility Belt: The metal capsules that hang on the belt contain water, pain medication, and disinfectants. This makes up the first aid kit.
- Snow Boots: They have spikes that are placed under the soles. This prevents slipping in frozen places.
- Wrist Guards: As an upgrade to his costume, Shoto received new wrist guards made from the same material as his vest. They appear to help him control the temperature of his ice and flames by keeping the high temperatures from travelling up his arms to his upper body.
Intelligence: Gifted (Shoto is extremely intelligent, having one of the highest grades in his class and proficient enough in battle to be able to dispatch most villains effortlessly. He is also considered the single most competent member of Class 1-A in combat, which includes the likes of Dynamight and Deku, and got into U.A. by recommendation rather than taking the Entrance Exam)
Standard Tactics: Shoto usually starts his battles by sending waves of ice to his opponent from a great distance, while using his fire to stabilize his body temperature. If his opponent gets close enough, Shoto will release a large amount of fire to keep them away and use his ice to move quickly on the battlefield. As of the Joint Training Arc, Shoto has learned how to use both his ice and fire interchangeably, primarily from long-range.
Weaknesses: Overusing one aspect of his power will cause him to overheat or lower his body temperature to dangerous levels. Using his strongest ice attack will cause his body to freeze instantly, significantly reducing his overall speed. According to Stain, Shoto relies on his Quirk too much in-combat, which makes him a careless fighter, although this weakness has been mitigated over time. Phosphor requires intense concentration to maintain and time to build up, and losing his focus will cause the technique to deactivate.
Feats: Created a massive ice structure that dwarfed a stadium, and melted it shortly after. Can freeze a whole lake in an instant. His firepower was stated to be on par with Endeavor's by All Might. Is capable of resisting the extreme temperatures of his own Quirk. His Phosphor is capable of chilling down even Dabi's intense Flashfire Fist, which are vastly superior to Endeavor's.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Half-Cold Half-Hot: Shoto's Quirk grants him the ability to generate fire with the left side of his body and ice with the right side of his body. Due to his grudge against his father, Shoto's heavily prefers to use his powers over ice, allowing him to freeze entire buildings and any inhabitants caught inside, in addition, to easily dispatching the Villain Alliance grunts sent to attack him. The drawback to his Quirk arises from his need to maintain his own body temperature. Excessive use of his ice power causes Shoto to suffer from frostbite. As a result, the power of his ice attacks wanes if uses them for too long without rest. However, Shoto's can easily solve this drawback with his firepower, using his fire to heal himself from the frostbite.
- Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall: Shoto creates a humongous ice glacier with his powers to restrain or block a target with the sheer volume of ice. This was first used against Hanta Sero but proved effective against even Pro Heroes like Eraser Head. The main downside to this move is that the amount of ice rapidly lowers his body temperature, forcing him to use his fire powers again. He can control the size of the ice wall to some degree. When he used this technique against Dynamight, Shoto created a much more controlled version compared to when he attacked Cellophane with it.
- Wall of Flames: Shoto uses his left side to generate a burst of flames that covers a large area. This is both a defensive and offensive attack similar to his Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall technique. It can be used to attack multiple opponents and create space between Shoto and his target.
- Flashfreeze Heatwave: Shoto cools the air around him with his ice powers, then switches to his fire and quickly heats and expands the air around him. This allows him to release an overheated blast.
- Flashfire Fist - Jet Kindling: A move learned from his father's signature technique, Flashfire Fist. Shoto concentrates his flames into a white-hot point on his fist and punches the opponent. On contact, a violent explosion of flames burst out of Shoto's arm, severely burning his target.
- Phosphor: Shoto circulates both halves of his Quirk throughout his body, merging the fire and ice into one ability. This Ultimate Move also serves as a basis for other moves Shoto uses.
- Coldflame's Pale Blade: Using the combination powers of Phosphor, Shoto throws a piece of the conjoined fire and ice at his opponent, launching them a great distance backward.
- Great Glacial Aegir: Shoto builds up his fire and ice, rushes toward his opponent, hits them with his fist and unleashes a massive wave of cold fire, able to extinguish the hottest of flames, as well as cover a massive section of terrain completely in ice.
