All Terminator Guards could use the force, and with their advanced training in close quarter combat, in open combats, naval combats, they were the deadliest.

Kōhai ''means devastation, and it is aptly named. the Kōhai form is a very aggressive combat style. Even Imperial Inquisitors have difficulties learning this form.

Armor
The Terminator Guards used a black armor, which resembled to the elite Preatorian guards, used by Supreme Leader Snoke at the time of the conflict between the First Order and the Resistance. This armor, although rarely seen, is a face of the Empire, as it inspires terror. The psychological impact of the armor is very important ; it is as powerful as the trooper inside the armor. They also carried an integrated cloaking device inside their armor, to surprise the enemy, or to infiltrate an enemy base. They have a vocoder similar to the ones of the Death Troopers, to hide their conversations. The vocoder too also has a psychological impact on enemies, as it is actually a scary sound. There also was melee weapons incorporated in the armor. In the leg and arm joints, there are blades that allows the trooper to impale enemies by elbowing or knee-kicking.

The armor was made of composite Kryptonium, a rare but powerful material that is very resistant to heat, and that can absorb a huge amount of kinetic energy. This material is also a component of star destroyers's outer hull.
