Departing from the usual role of female characters in [[role-playing game]]s, Ayla is a physical damage dealer. Physically, she is the strongest character in ''Chrono Trigger'', and is able to take the most damage next to [[Robo]]. Unlike the other characters, Ayla does not equip a weapon. Though she does still equip armor, she instead fights with her bare hands, and her hands upgrade as as she levels up. This makes her cheaper to equip than other characters, since she only needs to equip armor. Interestingly, in full-motion video present in the [[PlayStation]] release of the game, Ayla attacks enemies with a club. This never appears in-game.

All of her techs focus on dealing physical damage, except her [[Charm]] [[tech]], which is used to steal items, and [[Kiss]] which heals one character. This also makes Ayla the game's "thief" character, because her charm ability is the only way to obtain items from enemies.

Although Ayla cannot use magic, she has a small percentage of resistance against Fire magic (each character has a small resistance against ''something''). This suggests that if Ayla had the genetics for [[magic]], she'd be a [[Fire]] innate like [[Lucca]]. Further driving home the point, Ayla's name is composed of two syllables, "''Ay''" and "''La''" respectively. She admits that "''La''" in Iokan tongue means "Fire", and "''Ay''" in conventional English is an affirmation or a tongue-in-cheek version of the pronoun "I". In other words, "''I fire''"
