In all incarnations, Sephiroth is portrayed as a master swordsman, wielding a long blade known as the Masamune. In the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe, Sephiroth has a large repertoire of techniques that reflects some of abilities he used in ''Final Fantasy VII''. He can move about the battle ground with impressive speed, even fly, and occasionally teleports. He can also activate his attack "Stigma" which summons gigantic pillars of flames that can suck matter in, he can send out orbs of darkness called "Shadow Flares", and his most powerful attack "Super Nova" where he calls down meteors that spin around him and then explode.

His most noticeable technique is "Heartless Angel", an attack that drains Sora's MP and kills him instantly (unless Second Chance is equipped, in which case he will be left with 1 HP), if he is not interrupted in time; this is immediately followed by "Flash", which is fatal unless blocked via Reaction Command. He can also use a variation of Cloud's "Omnislash", in which he flies around the arena slashing wildly. In both games, all of his attacks are extremely powerful, being able to easily kill Sora even when he is maxed out in stats. Sephiroth has extremely high HP in both games. To add to the difficulty of him being a powerful enemy, in both games Sora has to fight him one-on-one without any help from his allies.

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Sephiroth is one of the hardest bosses, rivaling [[Kurt Zisa]] and [[Phantom]]; however, in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', [[Xemnas]], known at the time as "Unknown", also proved to be difficult. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', he is also one of the hardest bosses, having no true rival, standing out as the game's hardest boss. ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+|Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'' also has the [[Organization XIII]] rematches and data battles, along with the [[Lingering Sentiment]], all of which are fights that greatly dilute Sephiroth's notorious difficulty.
