Notable Attacks/Techniques:
===Noble Phantasm===
Excalibur Morgan: Sword of Promised Victory: The greatest Holy Sword. Even after being blackened by the mud of All The World's Evils, its status remains unchanged. Upon activation, it converts Artoria's magical energy into a beam of concentrated energy that takes the appearance of concentrated flames, destroying everything the tip of the beam passes through.
* Vortigern: Hammer of the Vile King: In close quarters, the energy produced by Excalibur Morgan can be instead utilized as a powerful melee attack.
===Class Skills===
* Magic Resistance: An innate ability that grants protection against magical effects. Unlike the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Due to possessing the blood of dragons, Artoria has a stellar A-Rank in this ability, rendering her virtually invulnerable to all of Caster's spells from the Age of Gods. This also applies to indirect magical attacks, such as magical hypnosis, petrification, and spatial manipulation.
* Riding: The ability to ride mounts. Artoria's A-Rank in this skill allows her to deftly ride any modern vehicle with expert skill to superhuman speeds, though she primarily sticks to her sleigh, Llamrei II, which can deliver any gift within one day of the order date by propelling it with her Mana Burst.
===Personal Skills===
*Instinct: The power to "feel" the most favorable developments for oneself during battle. Artoria has an A-Rank in this skill, granting her a refined sixth sense that is close to true precognition in addition to halving the hindrance that visual and auditory obstructions would normally provide.
*Mana Burst: A skill that allows for an increase in performance by infusing one's weapons and body with magical energy, for both defensive and offensive purposes, effectively recreating the effects of a jet burst. Artoria uses this skill mainly for defense and high-speed movement, propelling herself across the battlefield at high speeds while reinforcing her entire body with magical energy. With A-rank, even a stick can become a great weapon. Through this, Santa Alter is capable of engulfing her attacks with mana, creating black arcs that flow from her sword to strike with far greater power than even her normal blows. However, to ensure she doesn't damage her presents, its rank has been reduced from A to A-.
*Saint's Gift: A skill acquired by those who have taken up the role of Santa Claus. Due to her EX-Rank in this skill, Artoria is an expert in offering gifts that delight others. But since she is able to offer gifts that are slightly different from the receiver's desires, she is able to perceive and perturb the hidden traumas of others.
===Other Abilities===
*Blessing of the Lady of the Lake: Artoria has also received the blessings of Vivian, the Lady of the Lake who bestowed Excalibur to the young king. As a result, she is able to walk on water as if it were solid ground without any change in movement speed or traction.
