To clarify, the Golden Heaven Syndicate (Formerly called Prophecy cause Dalton's page is outdated af) is a collection of many small gangs united into one massive organization, constantly amassing power with the goal to subdue any smaller or weaker gangs, or destroy those equal or more powerful which may threaten the GHS. Working for an organization like this, Dalton is no stranger to violent struggles and battle between criminal factions, even from a young age.

Despite this, Dalton is not as fearsome a gangster or unreasonably famous as Lux suggests. I never stated that Dalton was revered or looked up on, in fact he's pretty low in the gang's heirarchy, only slightly above henchman status. I also did not say he refuses to kill, rather he refrains from it and tries to avoid unecessary killing, preferring non-lethal means even if forced to resort to violence.

Taking an extract from his personality section regarding the above point: "(Dalton is) even willing to sacrifice and hurt others for his own team's goals. This may come off as selfish and ruthless, and for this reason, he tries to maintain a moral standard of hurting others as little as possible, or only when absolutely necessary, even his enemies."

He is capable and willing to kill humans if forced to, but Dalton is not particularly violent, sadistic, infamous or kills so often that enemies would single him out and study his weaknesses to come up with strategies against him.

Since Lux brought up training and experience, It's worth noting that at age 11 Dalton took his last job as a gangster, while Alala has his first assassination at that age. This means Dalton spent less time training at his childhood than Alala (which he makes up for by training as a bodyguard later in life), but has more practical experience working and fighting on the streets at a younger age. He is also the leader of his Beacon team, and posseses plenty of street smarts and cunning from being a gangster and millionaire's bodyguard, which means he will not be easy to outsmart in a mental battle either.

The toughness of his Bulwark Prism depends on what kind of glass Dalton creates, and its thickness. These can range from paper thin, brittle glass to tough, bulletproof glass sheets, capable of deflecting most melee weapons and small to medium caliber bullets. Like typical glass, extreme heat (1400 to 1600 celsius) can melt it. Also, extreme heat and cold causes the glass to expand and contract respectively, meaning heating a glass sheet and freezing it immediately afterward will cause it to crack and shatter.

Regular glass sheets are smooth and slippery, but it is possible to walk on them if the sheet is flat on the ground. Rubber soled or spiked shoes also help. Walking up an inclined or vertical glass sheet is more difficult, but possible by cutting grooves or making protrusions on the glass for added grip.

And i will admit my comment above on Alala's smoke draining aura is incorrect, rather, the use of his semblance does. But my argument stands that Dalton could force him to maneuver many obstacles and waste aura, and weaken his Dust's potency as a weapon in shotgun form or when infusing smoke to make it explosive.
