Range: Tens of Meters, with shotgun blasts, much higher with projectiles and magic.
Standard Equipment: The Exeter, a simple yet powerful shotgun. Made with the finest materials.
Intelligence: Irvine is a skilled marksman and avid womanizer. He is charismatic and thoughtful. He is considered intelligent and competent enough to be the best candidate for assassinating the notoriously powerful Edea Kramer.
Weaknesses: Junctioning Guardian Forces cause memory loss, has a limited stock of spells to use, Irvine must be hard-pressed to use his Limit Breaks, unless he has buffed himself with Aura. He has to manually decide between some of his resistances, although they can be changed when he wants them to. Changing his resistances or Junctioning an ability to his strikes locks it out from being used elsewhere (Can't have Death Junctioned to his attacks and resistances at the same time as an example)
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Draw and Stock/Cast: Irvine can absorb the energy from an opponent to recreate their magical abilities. He can use this absorbed energy offensively to use the same ability on an opponent, or he can Junction it to become resistant/immune/strengthened by it.
*Junction: Able to increase his statistics via Guardian Forces and grant himself resistance/immunity/strength to effects of magic and energy.
*Guardian Forces (GFs): Guardian Forces are mystical entities that claim dominion over the elements. Irvine's superhuman abilities are a direct result of being Junctioned to multiple Guardian Forces, which he can temporarily manifest in a battle to assist him in combat.
