Intelligence: Azrael is quite perceptive and knowledgeable on the events that are happening in the Blazblue world. In addition, his ability, "The Terror", allows him to execute powerful chains of attacks while attacking certain "weak points" with specific Drive attacks, showing that he does strategize somewhat during his fights. However, despite his intelligence, he prefers to use crude punches and kicks rather than any form of martial arts or other refined movements in order to savor the fight.
Weaknesses: Azrael is reckless and is prone to being ensnared by traps, very arrogant and is obsessed with defeating Kokonoe, His crude and unrefined fighting style means that he can be easily overtaken by those able to match him in strength, The "weak points" he creates are generated by physical contact and are thus useless if Azrael can't reach his opponent or if his attacks are blocked, Dislikes fighting foes weaker than himself, Is a total blood knight who savors battle and won't finish it until he's had his fill, egging on his foes to use their full power against him. Due to his fighting style, as pointed out by Kagura, it is easy to read and combat against if you know martial arts.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*The Terror: Azrael creates numerous "weak points" on his opponent's bodies as he attacks. These weak points leave his foe susceptible to certain Drive attacks in his arsenal, greatly increasing the damage those attacks deal and his opponent's susceptibility to them. However, this ability can be nullified if the attacks are blocked completely and a weak point is consumed every time a successful attack is made on them.
*Mental Colosseum: Azrael's Overdrive in which he exerts his power in an intimidating aura to break his opponent's concentration and defenses, allowing him to leave weak points with each of his attacks regardless if they're blocked or not.
*Full Spartan: Azrael kicks his opponent while charging his power, then kicks them to send them flying. Azrael then teleports himself at behind, before giving the opponent one powerful punch.
*Gustav Buster: An inward leaning-lunging hook punch of raw-energy after a short dashing step. 
*Tiger Magnum: An upward face-striking punch with the leading hand.
**Cobra Spike: Upward splits kick punt with the following foot into an inward recovery turn.
**Leopard Launcher: Straight blazing clothesline with the following arm that covers distance.
*Growler Field: Azrael summons a red aura with an intimidating pose. While it is active, Azrael can absorb projectiles.
**Phalanx Cannon: Flings his arm outward and fires a high speed projectile. Can be used after absorbing a projectile with Growler Field, at any moment.
*Sentinel Dump: Azrael jumps and slams the ground, sitting atop the opponent.
*Valiant Crush: Forward leaning back turning push kick with the following leg in red energy.
**Valiant Charger: Charges at the enemy after Valiant Crush if hitting a weakpoint.
*Hornet Bunker: Table-flipping motion strike of red darkness, and launches the opponent in the air.
**Hornet Chaser: Homing jump, functions like Valiant Charger.
*Panzer Strike: Azrael brings the opponent to the air with a knee strike then slams down on them.
*Black Hawk Stinger: Azrael will rear back deliver a strong forward swinging hook-punch attack after a brief charge.
*Scud Punishment: Azrael focuses with his arms in a waving motion and forming finger jabs, then thrusts forward with the leading hand for a jab; from there after connecting he then explosively-thrusts with an underhand palmstrike.
*Patriot Apocalypse: Azrael slams his opponent into the ground, stunning them before tearing up the earth under them and throwing them into the air. His seals then vanish for a moment as gravity brings his target back down, allowing him to nail his target with a devastating uppercut that resembles a volcanic eruption.
