Weaknesses: It needs the spirit of another being to animate it. If the spirit is attacked it can be stopped.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Hand Blasts: The Destroyer can fire magical energy blasts from its hands capable of easily slicing through Thor's Mjolnir
*Transmutation Beam: The Destroyer fires a beam which can transmute matter from one state to another
*Heat Beams: The Destroyer generates flames from its hands as powerful as dozens of suns
*Visor Beam: The Destroyer's most powerful attack, it opens its visor and fires a beam capable of completely eliminating matter and energy from existence. This attack takes a while to charge, however it is so powerful, it's been able to actually kill Thor
Other: The Asgardian Destroyer's abilities have a wide range depending on the power of the person inhabiting it. On its own, it has high herald level power regardless of whether the person inhabit it has any powers, but if a more powerful being inhabits it, it adds that power level to its own. Hence, while inhabited by Odin and all of the Asgardians combined, it gained power proportionate to that scale. However, 12 Celestials still easily disposed of it. This profile only covers the Marvel 616 version of the Asgardian Destroyer
