* Allomancy - Hoid retrieved and ingested a bead of [[Lerasium]] from the Well of Ascension so that he could become an allomancer.{{qa ref|1013|1}}{{qa ref|1047|9}}{{qa ref|1151|7|Brandon on Hoid|date=2016-02-25}} 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 he was burning [[brass]] or [[zinc]].{{qa ref|1048|29}}
* 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 additional [[Breath]], something that a scene in Words of Radiance seems to confirm, as he mentions how playing and tuning an instrument was easier now with "perfect pitch"{{book ref|sa2|59}} - something granted to those with the Second Heightening (at least 200 breaths).{{qa ref|949|11}} He Awakens a doll prior to leaving [[Kholinar]]{{book ref|sa3|epilogue}}
* Regeneration - Hoid is able to regenerate body parts and even heal his soul if it is severed.{{qa ref|1071|2}} He is unafraid of Jasnah's Shardblade saying, "I'd be surprised if that little knife of yours poses me any real threat ...." Sanderson has also said that Hoid would do well in a fight between all his protagonists because he is "really, really, really hard to kill."{{qa ref|1044|9}}
*Lightweaver- he has now bonded a Cryptic, which will allow him to access the surges of Light and Transformation. {{Book ref|sa3|epilogue}}
