*Runic Magic, Ice Manipulation and Poison Manipulation (Gods can resist the innate attributes of the magic flowing through them. Was also capable of touching the Light of Alfheim, despite it being very painful for him and pulled Kratos out of the main shaft with his bare hands, with the Light of Alfheim being able to drive its victims insane before completely incinerating them and making them and their souls one with the Light. While in Bear Form, he was able to endure Kratos repeatedly slashing him with the Leviathan Axe, which wields these powers, and was later able to heal from these wounds in human form. Could weather attacks of Bifrost energy from einherjar and Odin himself during Ragnarok)
</tabber>
Attack Potency: Low Complex Multiverse level (After realizing his godhood and training for 3 years, he is comparable to Valkyries like Hrist and Mist and can outright fight against one of them on his ownGod of War: Ragnarok (2022)- The Summoning. Even while younger and weaker, he could hurt Baldur after the latter lost his invulnerability. Inferior to Heimdall, which would put him on par with Ares), higher with Shape-shifting (Bit through Odin's armGod of War: Ragnarok (2022)- Unlocking the Mask in his wolf form. As Bjorn, he was able to hold his own against Spartan Rage Kratos, but Kratos eventually prevailed and would've killed him if Atreus didn't transform back to normal in time. Charged at Freya and threatened to kill her had Kratos not intervened. Easily tore apart a Valkyrie in half)
Speed: Infinite (Can fight gods and monsters on par with Kratos in swiftness, such as Garm, the Valkyries, Baldur, and Odin)
Lifting Strength: Unknown, likely Class 5 in human form (Has grown considerably stronger than before over the last 3 years of Fimbulwinter, being able to hold boulders by himself, but is unable to keep them up for long, and is consistently overpowered by older gods), Immeasurable with Shape-shifting (Stood his ground against Spartan Rage Kratos. Ripped a Valkyrie in half)
Striking Strength: Low Complex Multiverse level (Barely managed to hurt Odin with his punchesGod of War: Ragnarok - The Realms at War, though he was swatted away after that), higher with Shape-Shifting 
Durability: Low Complex Multiverse level (Withstood a direct blow from Baldur with only his wind knocked out of him, and after getting his breath back, Atreus was ready to fight against Baldur yet againGod of War (2018)- Jotunheim in Reach. Somewhat comparable to, albeit much weaker than his father, Kratos. Survived a vicious beating from Hrist and Mist without any lasting injuries. Able to withstand beatdowns from the likes of Odin), higher with Shape-shifting (Even stronger while in Wolf Form or as Bjorn, being on par with his father and taking hits from Kratos' Spartan Rage)
Stamina: Superhuman (Even before learning of his status as a god, Atreus singlehandedly destroyed an army of dark elves and fought alone for close to a whole day while protecting his father. His stamina further increased after realizing his potential, being able to endure long fights and withstand falls from great heights without suffering any noticeable fatigue)
Range: Standard Melee Range, Tens of Meters with Talon Bow and summons. Several Kilometers with Weather Manipulation (His screams caused the skies to darken and erupt into a violent storm. Inapplicable in combat), Low Multiversal via the Utangard (Can use it to travel to any of the Nine Realms)
Standard Equipment: Talon Bow, Knife, Resurrection Stones, Ingrid (Freyr's sword)
Intelligence: Gifted (Has the innate talent to understand written and spoken languages he has never heard of or read before by tracing their connections, being able to quickly learn how to read the Niflheim and Muspelheim languages when given a cipher, how to read Greek when given a jug of wine from Sparta, and even how to speak the dead language of the World Serpent despite only hearing it a handful of times. He can also understand some animals, and even Mimir, the smartest man in the nine realms, took note of Atreus' linguistic capabilities for someone of his age. A capable fighter, assisting his father in his fights using his bow skills and even taking on gods such as Baldur alongside Kratos)
Weaknesses: Retains his inability to use Resurrection stones on himself. Atreus inherited his father's temper, often losing control of himself and causing him to act recklessly, though this weakness appears to have mostly faded after receiving a scolding from Kratos. Initially had trouble controlling his transformations due to them being triggered on extreme emotional impulses like rage or sadness, but has since overcome them to maintain better control over his powers. His godhood and the power he draws from it heavily depend on his focus and self-belief, going from being unable to perform physically exerting tasks at his lowest to fighting on large with powerful gods and immortal warriors when in the right mindset, his focus for the game improves considerably. He doesn't know how to swim. He lacks wisdom, which causes him to get tricked by Odin.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Ljösa: Atreus fires arrows infused with the light of Alfheim that can stun opponents more easily than his regular arrows and can unleash large bursts of light to attack multiple opponents at once.
*Þruma: Atreus fires arrows imbued with the lightning of the dragon Hræzlyr, paralyzing foes and sending arcs of lightning to hit opponents near his original target.
