- Great range: Eyedol's large frame grants him great reach on his normals and makes him a footsies monster.
- Overwhelming offense: Both heads have safe/plus specials to create frame traps that loop themselves while building Shadow very quickly.
- Warrior jump arc: Eyedol is infamous for having the quickest jump in the game, complimenting his pip cancels and making his jump-ins particularly difficult to contest.
- Third eye: Between head switches, Eyedol has plenty of time to analyze his opponent's offense and counter accordingly, such as with an anti-air or reversal. Head switching also comes with 7f of invulnerability, causing some attacks to pass through harmlessly and scoring Eyedol a free punish.
- Clear headspace: Eyedol has no shortage of moves that cover the air above him, making jump-ins a risky affair against players with good reactions.
- Chips away: Eyedol's specials in Mage and especially in Instinct knock off full percents of health on block.

- Mediocre damage: When not in Instinct, Eyedol's damage output lags behind most of his contemporaries.
- Linear offense: Eyedol largely relies on strike/throw for his pressure, as his crossups and overheads are extremely telegraphed.
- Projectile vulnerability: While Warrior has a great forward walk speed, he doesn't have any meterless answers to zoning, and his big body + fast jump arc means he will get tagged a lot trying to get in on keepaway characters.
- Projectile immunity vulnerability: Mage is uniquely weak to projectile immune moves as all his punches and specials use projectile hitboxes.
- Chronic downplaying: You will never be satisfied with Eyedol's strength and all the little ways he could be improved.
