As an inventor and innovator, Tails utilizes his gadgets to excel on the battlefield and to aid in his use of Chaos Control. Even if he doesn't have such a natural gift to use the techniques like Sonic or Shadow, he finds his own way to try and keep up with them, and to one day be viewed as an equal in fighting prowess. The lightning affinity effects make for interesting interactions that his analytical mind can take full advantage of. Even if he lacks raw power, his resourcefulness more than makes up for it.
