As befitting of his long age, Leonardo's Quincy Cross had evolved to a point where it appeared to be an elaborate rosary that featured a six-pointed star with two prongs laid over a halo. Leonardo generally wore his Quincy Cross as a necklace underneath his robes.

It was widely estimated to match or surpass the likes of Captain-class Shinigami and Espada-class Arrancar. During his youth, Leonardo was one of the few Quincy besides able to withstand  exertion of his immense reiatsu, albeit with noticeable difficulty. Leonardo himself can paralyze lesser Quincy and make them submit to his will and presence just by the mere exertion of his own reiatsu. Although his fellow Sternritter can tolerate Leonardo's reiatsu, many of them described it as uncomfortable and overbearing. Unlike the rest of his fellow Quincy, Leonardo's Spiritual Power appeared to be gold in coloration, which seemed to further his belief that he was one of Yhwach's Chosen.
