File:Moonlight_of_Artemis.png|Moonlight of Artemis
Threads of Artemis: A pair of golden gauntlets capable of producing threads that can be shaped into various weaponry such as his legendary bow.
*Phoebus' Lyre (The Shimmering Harp): Apollo creates a pair of hands out of his threads and places his own hands into them, which transforms the Threads of Artemis into a pair of boxing bracers with pronounced wristbands and studded knuckles. These pair of bracers enhance Apollo's close-range boxing abilities.
*Moonlight of Artemis: Apollo's Threads of Artemis disappear from his hands and right after, a large shadow extends out behind him. A giant statue of Artemis then appears from the shadow, equipped with Apollo's Divine Weapon. The statue weaves the threads it produces to make a giant golden bow that fires arrows of light.
Intelligence: Gifted (A highly skilled fighter stated to excel in the fields of Archery, Music and Boxing with his technique being stated to be that of a masters)
Standard Tactics: Despite his careless attitude, Apollo is a very competent fighter who can quickly close the distance between him and his opponent while using his great reflexes and footwork to dodge their attacks. When in range he overwhelms his opponent with boxing while also using his thread to either restrain them or block their attacks. At the same time will try to live up to the expectations of the people around him (be it ally or enemy) so that he can enter his ultimate battle mode. If faced with an opponent he cant conventionally overpower Apollo will resort to his most powerful technique "Moonlight of Artemis" and start firing off his golden arrows. In the rare circumstance he runs out of arrows, Apollo will use the statue of Artemis to turn himself into a "silver arrow" and then fire himself out with immense speed and force.
Weaknesses: By living up to the expectations of those around him Apollo is able to grow stronger, however that can come to his detriment as he might purposfully nerf himself by doing so

*The Sun Shall Never Set on Me (Embrace of the Eternal Midnight Sun): Apollo's strongest battle mode. A power that defies all logic and common sense, Apollo can actually get stronger the more that he lives up to the expectations of those around him, whether they be an ally or an enemy. When this happens, Apollo emits a large amount of light from his body.
*Artemis Elenchos (Shining Domination): Apollo wraps his threads around his opponent's limb to immobilise their movement.
*Apollo Epicurious (Golden Arrows of the Shining Meteor): Apollo launches a large wave of his light arrows at his opponent to overwhelm them.
*Argyrotoxos (Soul-Piercing Silver Arrow): If Apollo cannot draw his bow anymore, he can use his own body as an arrow. Using a giant thread from the Artemis statue, he propells himself forward with enough force to destroy Leonidas divine shield.
