'''[[Allomancy]]'''
Vin demonstrated varying proficiencies in her allomantic usage. This is primarily caused by Vin’s predilection toward combat oriented metals. If she could not immediately see how a particular metal could aid in a fight, Vin would often consider them less useful. However for the time period, Vin developed a deep understanding of allomantic theory. She was considered the most powerful Mistborn of her time even with Elend Venture consuming Lerasium directly, and therefor not suffering in dilution of power from genetic transfer.
'''[[Iron]] and [[Steel]]-''' Vin was extremely proficient in the use of both steel and iron. Being able to combine both the aspects of steel pushes and iron pulls allowed for far greater mobility and offensive potential when compared to the average Coinshot or Lurcher. Vin’s naturally more powerful allomancy further enhanced her external physical metals, as she was able to match Kelsier in strength when pushing against a coin, despite Kelsier being nearly twice her weight. Vin’s control over steel and iron allowed her to use horseshoes as a means of continued motion.
'''[[Electrum]]-''' The “poor man’s atium” Vin uses electrum to fight Steel Inquisitors when it appeared the supply of atium had depleted.
In terms of melee combat and weapon skills, Vin was very talented. Having undergone training in combat from both Kelsier (a full mistborn), and Hammond (an accomplished thug), Vin has developed a unique set of skill. Primarily using obsidian daggers to prevent allomantic influence by her opponents, Vin uses various steel pushes and iron pulls to quickly maneuver around the battlefield. Doing so she will often surprise her opponents by striking from unforeseen angles. Vin will often utilize tricks to allow her to position herself for surprise attacks as well. An example of this is pushing her coin pouch away to make it seem as if she was moving in that direction, only to strike from an alternate one. In addition to the use of daggers Vin has been trained in the use of staffs, and even handled a koloss great sword to devastating affect. Though in the case of the sword Vin wielded through the strength granted by pewter and not pure skill.
Later when she took the shard of Preservation, Vin was imbued with a large amount of power. She was shown to be able to augment the powers of ALlomancers as seen when she strengthened Elend's Alomancy abilities.
