* Worldhopping - Hoid is very good at manipulating Shadesmar.{{qa ref|428|102}} He can travel to any world he likes, and can even use this ability to move swiftly around a single planet and to get to otherwise inaccessible areas, like the Well of Ascension.{{17s ref|post|42244}}
* Feruchemy - Hoid uses Feruchemy to gain limited foresight--he knows where he needs to go and when he needs to be there.{{qa ref|689|4}}{{qa ref|895|2}}
* Allomancy - Hoid retreived a bead of Lerasium from the Well of Ascension so that he could become an allomancer.{{qa ref|1013|1|Hoid has a metal he isn't supposed to have|date=Dec 18th, 2011}}{{qa ref|1047|9|Did Hoid use his bead for Feruchemy?|date=Mar 29, 2014}} Brandon has been very careful with his wording{{qa ref|1047|15|Is Hoid an allomancer?|date=Mar 29, 2014}}, so it is unclear if he used it for that purpose, but he does appear to consume metal in Shallan's flashback the same way an allomancer would.{{book ref|sa2|45}}{{qa ref|1073|1}} Brandon also said that he did it to make people act a certain way, implying that it was [[brass]] or [[zinc]].{{qa 1048|29|What alloy did Hoid drink?|date=Mar 20, 2014}}
* Extremely long life and time dilation{{qa ref|622|106}} - Hoid is far older than any human could really live. He also hasn't lived through all those years. He can move swiftly forward in time, but has not yet traveled backwards in time.
* Awakening - Hoid likely has a [[Breath]], something that a scene in Words of Radiance seems to confirm, as he mentions how playing an instrument was easier now with 'perfect pitch' - something granted to those with the Second Heightening.{{qa ref|949|11}}
