Attack Potency: Small Country level+ (Stated to have surpassed both Heavenly Dragons Volume 24, Life 4 Shin DxD Volume 2, Life 4, and could fight on par with Diabolos Dragon Lucifer Vali. His compressed attack created a colossal hole both in the sky and the middle of the sea Volume 23, Life 2)

Stamina: Very high (Was completely nonchalant by being bathed in corrosive miasma, having half of his face and his wing torn from its roots, and was similarly unfazed after his body was damaged to the extent it was spraying blood.

Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Known as the dragon that governs battles, Crom has garnered a considerable amount of knowledge and experience after traversing the world for a considerable period of time, with the experience gathered through countless battles improving and cultivating his intuition to the point that he can effectively react to, and combat foes he cannot see or perceive at all. Furthermore, Crom possesess a remarkable rate of adaptation in battle, allowing him to exceed even geniuses such as Vali Lucifer and completely avoid Ddraig's use of Penetrate in a short period of time despite the latter actively hiding his eye movements, masking his aura, and indiscriminately mixing his attacks with Penetrate in order to catch Crom off-guard.
Weaknesses: Dragon slaying weaponry and abilities, although he was mentioned to have trained to become resistant to its effects to an extent, and has become completely unaffected by Tathlum which would have been lethal against him in the past
