Goddess Myria was so fearful of the Brood’s power that she was sure they could easily destroy the world.

- Resurrect: Ryu successfully restores a dead member.

- Vigor: Ryu heals heavy wounds on all targets

- Bonebreak/Terra Break: Ryu deals a deadly blow to a single target that can only be used in intervals.

- Accession: Ryu taps into his Brood power to transform into various dragons by using the Dragon Genes he absorbed on his journey. Dragon Genes are the spirits, and the essence of deceased dragons turned into purple pentagon-shaped or circular Chrysm ore. Ryu can combine three Dragon Genes into a mighty dragon. In addition, Dragon Genes give him certain elemental powers such as Flame Gene for flame, Frost Gene for frost, Thunder Gene for electric, Shadow Gene for shadow or poison, Radiance Gene for holy, or other Dragon Genes that give physical or magical enhancements.

• - Flame: Grants a Flame property. Used for becoming Trygon.
• - Frost: Grants a Frost property. Used for becoming Trygon.
• - Thunder: Grants an Electric property. Used for becoming Trygon.
• - Shadow: Grants a Shadow property. Used for becoming Super Peco Hybrid when combined with Fusion.

• - Fusion: Combines power with allies. Used for becoming Hybrid.
• - Infinity: Unleashes the full power of the Brood to become Kaiser. If combined with Radiance and Trance, Ryu becomes Complete Kaiser.

- Whelp/Wildfire: Whelp is Ryu's basic natural small Dragon form. He can turn into other elemental versions using a single elemental Dragon Gene. Whelp gives him slightly more endurance and twice the physical power. He can produce his Whelp Breath by breathing fire or a more potent version with Flame Breath. Depending on the Dragon Gene, Whelp can produce Frost Breath, Thunder Breath, Shadow Breath, or Divine Breath. It can coat its claws or bite attacks with those elements and become immune to them. Whelp can also cause blindness and poison. Ryu can form an enhanced form of Whelp named Wildfire by combining the Miracle Gene, Thorn Gene and Reverse Gene. Though this form reduces Ryu's endurance and only has the standard Whelp Breath, it grants him immunity to all elemental damage, status effects, and increased power. Wildfire is very vulnerable to holy elements.

- Dragon/Trygon: Dragon is a Ryu's large, more potent adult Dragon form. The most frequent result is combining two or more Dragon Genes. Dragons' abilities and physical stats are generally higher than those of Whelps. For example, they can breathe a more substantial fire with Dragon Breath that resembles a laser beam, and the same with Whelp, a more potent version with Flame Breath and other elemental breath attacks mentioned on Whelp. It can make the exact attacks as Whelp but stronger. Dragon can also lower someone's guard with Snap and counter any attack with Counter. By combining Flame Gene, Frost Gene and Thunder Gene, Ryu turns into a particular variant of the Dragon form named Trygon, a gold dragon that improves overall physical stats, the ability to breathe all three elements and become immune to those three elements.

- Behemoth/Mammoth: Behemoth is a colossal dragon transformation formed using the Miracle Gene, which trades off speed for tremendous physical strength and endurance. It can ram into foes with Charge. In addition, Behemoth has powerful earth magic and can call forth meteors. Ryu can combine the elemental Dragon Genes for elemental attacks and immunities. A unique form of Behemoth called Mammoth is created by mixing Miracle Gene with ??? Gene for a more drastic increase in physical stats and has the power to grow even more significantly.

- Warrior/Myrmidon: Warrior is a dragon transformation that looks relatively human with dragon wings, claws, lower body, and tail. Ryu uses a range of Dragon Genes sub-types, including the Force Gene. The form has very high strength on par with Behemoth but is not as durable and doubles Ryu's speed. It can consist of other elemental Dragon Genes for elemental strikes. This form focuses on physical attacks and can boost its power with Focus, Gambit, and Aura. Aura makes a large afterimage that punches foes with holy damage. By mixing the Force Gene with the Trance Gene, Ryu can transform into a stronger variant, Myrmidon. Myrmidon can access all the elemental strikes without relying on the elemental Dragon Genes and generate an omnidirectional blast with Aura Burst.

- Hybrid: Hybrid is a unique dragon transformation where Ryu fuses with the power of one of his allies by using the Fusion Gene, and his allies stay intact. Depending on which ally, it gives him enormous stats in either endurance, magic or speed. Also, he inherits his ally's abilities and more. Even become a Super Hybrid with certain Dragon Gene combinations (see Accession). When combined with Momo, Hybrid can summon planetoid comets and nuke missiles. With Nina, all her elemental magic. With Rei, wind magic and teleportation. With Peco, inflicting sleep, poison and generating earthquakes.

- Pygmy: Pygmy is a unique and tiny dragon transformation with a greater "cuteness factor" than the Whelp forms. Ryu transforms into Pygmy by combining the Mutant Gene with ??? Gene. Pygmy's strength and endurance drastically decrease, but in return is extremely fast and agile with a powerful breath attack that spews magma with Magma Breath.

- Tiamat: Tiamat is Ryu's unique mighty enormous Dark Dragon transformation by combining Shadow Gene with Trance Gene. Tiamat has an overall increase in physical stats and mighty shadow and venom breath attacks. It can summon a tsunami of molten lava and is immune to all status effects and earth elements but vulnerable to holy elements.

- Kaiser: Kaiser is Ryu's ultimate dragon form by mixing Infinity Gene with Radiance Gene and Trance Gene to gain complete control. Without Radiance Gene and Trance Gene, Ryu would no longer gain complete control and become berserk. The Infinity Gene is said to grant the user the full power of the Brood. At first, Ryu's form does not change into a dragon. Instead, his hair becomes golden, and his eyes become red. Ryu's abilities and physical stats are at his best, even in this state. He can also transform into a giant dragon. Kaiser is immune to all status effects and is highly resistant to all elemental attacks. Kaiser Breath's breath attack is equivalent to a nuclear blast. It can even confuse foes with a simple roar.
