Range: Extended Melee Range with Umbrella or Bat, Hundreds of Meters with Projectile Badge (Projectile badge has in some cases reached off the map and has hit areas far from Bow Kid. Though it has shown short range in the ship that is likely due to game mechanics as it's shown far higher range), Kilometers with Enhanced Senses (Can find the source of interest in Mafia Island even if it's on the other side of the island), Macrocosmic with Mirror Badge (Flips the entirety of space), Macrocosmic+ with Time Stop Hat and Time Pieces, Low Macroversal with Dweller Mask (Pulls in objects and enemies from other dimensions), Macroversal with Preparation (Collapses dimensions on top of each other)

Weaknesses: Has none of her hat abilities if her hats are removed. Though she's shown to fight through this. Snatcher's protection is only active when she's on a contract, so if she fulfills her contractual obligations he'll no longer revive her. Though this weakness seems to not matter since their current contract is being her best friend forever.
Note: While there is a scene where she's initially affected by the time piece breaking it should be noted this is a one-off case asides from every other moment. It could be equally argued that this is just a trait of Reactive Evolution or Bow Kid being caught off guard.
