Skills & Abilities
Cassian is a regular ol' human with no supernatural powers to speak of, unless of course you believe luck is a superpower. However it's shown over the course of S1 & S2 of Andor that he's already got many of the building blocks that end up turning him into a Captain and rebel hero some day.
Growing up on Ferrix whose largest source of income mostly came from salvaging parts, means that Cassian probably spent a lot of time learning the in's and out's of ships, the engineering of them and details that some might not bother to learn. He's shown to be a skilled pilot, being specifically sought out by Luthen to assist the Aldhani crew, getting the crew out of a hairy situation that they wouldn't have been able to otherwise without him.
For better or for worse, Cassian also became quite the skilled thief which probably includes slight of hand, being incredibly observant (as evidenced by picking up quickly everyone's dominant or more comfortable shooting hand, taking stock of Narkina 5's guard rotation), and making split-second decisions with a cool head (...most of the time). There's evidence of him developing his espionage skills too throughout the series: being able to read a room, sabotage, understanding how to don personas in order to help him blend into his surroundings, and knowing how to spin a lie.
In terms of combat, Cassian has proven that he's capable of taking care of himself in a fight which probably has a lot to do with the fact that he's been a part of conflict since he's been six years old. His stint as a child soldier had him exposed to combat and then later on in life after witnessing his adoptive father, Clem taken away and hung by Imperials, he became involved with anarchist groups defying the Empire. And while he did a short stint in Mimban as a chef, I'd still like to think that he was forced to go through some training there to understand how to handle a blaster, contributing to his marksmanship skills that we see later on in his life.
