Genius features Target Lockdown (reduces a specific opponent's shooting accuracy to near-zero), Genius Shot (precision shot with aim assist), and Read The Play (intercepts passes). Total Analysis awakening reveals all opponent cooldowns and applies Lockdown to all enemies simultaneously. Counter to most meta styles — Target Lockdown bypassed only by Chrollo specifically.
