His signature moves are based on two of his Artes. His stats change between his two formes, staying in Ratatosk forme until he is weakened. Ratatosk Forme is very fast and brutally strong, though relatively low in overall bulk, while Emil Forme is weak overall. His diverse moveset is based on his ability to use many different elemental attacks in the game.
