Signature Moves
- Temporal Advantage: Geras freezes his opponent in time and renders them vulnerable to hits for a short period. (MK11)
- Sand Trap: Geras summons sand from the ground in a small area. If he hits the opponent with the sand, the opponent will sink into the sand, rise into the air and be struck with a pair of sand hammers. The attack has a close, far and very far version. (MK11)
- Titan Tackle: Geras runs and grabs his opponent, proceeding to charge across the stage with them in his hold. If he runs to the edge of the stage, Geras will throw the opponent against a sand wall and slam their face into it. (MK11)
- Big Fist: Geras throws a straight punch. (MK11)
- Sand Pillar: Geras summons a column of sand from the ground that can hit the opponent. (MK11)
- The amplified version delays the attack for roughly two seconds and allows Geras to act while it counts down.
- Fatal Blow - Stasis Assault: Geras uppercuts the opponent in the air and then reverses time so that they are in front of him again. While they are frozen in time, Geras punches them in the stomach, slashes them three times with a blade, and finally nails their head with a rock-covered fist before punching them away. (MK11)
Fatalities
- Phasing Through Time: Geras disappears into sand and reappears behind his opponent, punching a hole through their pectoral. He then appears in front of his opponent and performs an uppercut to create a hole in their other pectoral. Finally, he appears behind the opponent again and strikes the back of their head with a palm strike, causing their brain and the front part of their skull to fly out of their face. (MK11)
