Okudera is known to be a quick-learning child prodigy. He is a fairly capable Attacker, having scored over 7,000 points with Kogetsu. Although he was noted to be an average fighter on his own, his coordination with Noboru Koarai is so advanced that they are able to defeat most higher-ranking opponents by teaming up. According to Sōya Kazama, their teamwork at close quarters is second only to his own squad's. Their proficiency extends to aerial combat. Generally speaking, when Koarai and Okudera fight together the latter acts as the diversion and is responsible for engaging the opponent first due to his superior watchfulness, while Koarai deals the finishing blow; however, their teamwork is by no means limited to this set-up, as Koarai is fully capable of trading blows with the target at the same time as Okudera. This is rendered especially remarkable by the fact that Attackers have a harder time than other classes capitalizing on numerical advantage against a single target; in fact, Koarai and Okudera can use the environment and their own positioning to prevent their target's allies from helping them effectively. Their teamwork gave them the upper hand against Shinnosuke Tsuji and allowed them to go toe-to-toe with Yūma Kuga in an airborne battle, although they agreed with Mako Hitomi's call not to engage opponents of his and Kō Murakami's caliber in combat without Haruaki Azuma's assistance.

Koarai's swordsmanship is complemented by decently quick reflexes, which allowed him to parry a sudden attack from a Rabbit, although he was still blown away, as well as to avoid Tsuji's Senkū. By studying the logs he was able to block two attacks by Yūma while airborne. However, during that same match he was defeated as soon as he entered Masato Kageura's range, seemingly without being able to react.

After round eight of the latest season of rank wars, Okudera was permitted by Azuma to equip Triggers in the Sub apart from Bagworm and Shield. He chose a Gunner Trigger, which he was able to utilize well enough by the next match to distract Kageura enough for Azuma to take him out. This concession was motivated by Azuma's estimation that his mentees had been able to judge the state of the battle properly. In fact, Okudera's eye for strategy is steadily improving under the Sniper's tutelage, and his instincts as well as his analytical skills applied to the preparation phase of the battle have been refined between his unit's two fights against Tamakoma Second. During combat he is able to remain composed and mindful of the conflict at large, and it is not uncommon for him to take the lead when Koarai and he fight side by side. He proved himself capable of thinking on his feet when he sheathed his sword either right before or immediately after Yuzuru Ema used the glow from Osamu's Raygust to snipe at him in the dark.

Triggers

Tsuneyuki Okudera's Triggers

Current

Type Normal

Kogetsu

Classification Attacker

Okudera is fairly proficient with Kogetsu, having scored over 7,000 points with it. However, he is still severely outmatched by opponents of Kageura's caliber, who defeated him before he was able to react. Although he is regarded as an average swordsman on his own, his teamwork with Koarai is so refined that together they are deemed capable of defeating most higher-ranked opponents, with Kazama placing their coordination below only his own unit's. The two lived up to the praise by holding the upper hand against Master Class Attacker - Tsuji. Okudera keeps his Kogetsu conjured at all times. He is first seen using it in Chapter 44 (Episode 22 in the anime).

Type Normal	Senkū
Classification Optional	Okudera rarely utilizes this Trigger as he appears to prefer to close the distance with the opponent, especially if Koarai is close by. However, he will resort to it to cut down an enemy who tries to escape. Okudera is able to synchronize his slash with Koarai's. He is first seen using Senkū in Chapter 172 (Episode 90 in the anime).

Type Normal

Shield

Classification Defense

Okudera uses this Trigger to defend himself while approaching Gunners and other mid-ranged combatants from the front. He seems to prefer casting it in its default hexagonal shape, making it big enough to protect his midsection and most of his head and legs if he crouches down; however, he is also capable of morphing it into a round shape, as well as casting Full Guard around an ally from afar and overlap his Shields with those of other agents. He has been demonstrated to possess enough precision with this Trigger to erect a focused barrier to block an attack from Yūma after studying his logs. Okudera is first seen using Shield in Chapter 60 (Episode 27 in the anime).

Type Normal

Bagworm

Classification Optional

A Trigger that prevents the user's Trion signature from being detected by Radar, therefore concealing their position. Okudera may use it in preparation for a sneak attack, dispelling it right afterwards, as well as to meet up with Koarai without being intercepted by enemies. He can also turn it on and off randomly to increase the pressure on enemy Operators. On one occasion the members of Azuma Squad changed the color of their Bagworms to camouflage in a snowy map. Okudera is first seen using it in Chapter 110 (Episode 67 in the anime).

Temporary

Type Normal	Grasshopper
Classification Optional	Although this Trigger is not part of Okudera's normal set, he often adds it to improve his mobility on certain maps when the terrain makes movement on foot unfavorable for his opponents. Koarai and Okudera are skilled enough to briefly hold their own against Yūma in an aerial battle. Okudera is first seen using Grasshopper in Chapter 114 (Episode 69 in the anime).
