Techniques & Signature Moves
Like Edward, Alphonse can perform alchemy without a transmutation circle after passing through the Gate of Truth during the failed resurrection. He claps his gauntlets together to perform transmutations instantly, though his range and application differ from Ed's.
Alphonse's soul is bound to a suit of plate armor by Edward after the failed resurrection. This grants him extraordinary physical endurance — he cannot be tired, hungry, or injured conventionally, and withstands damage that would kill any human. His only weakness is the blood seal inside the helmet.
Alphonse etches transmutation circles onto his armor in advance, allowing him to trigger alchemic effects without needing to draw or clap — useful in combat for ambushes and defensive traps.
