Intelligence: Gifted (Due to his status as an Oracle Daxos is able to speak and understand the language of the Gods and is able to receive knowledge from past Oracles, and due to being the Oracle of Heliod he was granted additional wisdom from the God of the Sun. Daxos has spent every day since his early teens training from dusk to dawn in the Sunburst Garden to the point that it became known as Daxos' Yard due to the amount of time he spent there. He is a capable leader in combat, being trusted to lead a troop of Meletian soldiers into battle, and alongside Elspeth he was able to formulate a plan to kill Polukranos, a feat with numerous armies before him had tried and failed to do, as well as assisted in planning the use of the Deyda River to defeat the minotaur army) | Below Average (As a Returned Daxos has little to intelligence beyond a single compulsion, this being his never ending search for Elspeth. In this state he has no identity of his own, no memories of his past, and no capacity for holding long term memories. As such, while he is sapient and feels emotions, his existence is nothing but shadow-play, being unable to connect with other living beings and form an actual identity, forever in a state of negative emotions and empty routines) | Gifted (Due to being restored to his former mentality, Daxos retains all of his intellect from his time before becoming a Returned)
Weaknesses: Heliod is able to potentially control his actions to a limited extent (Though this rarely if ever happens in combat and thus is not combat applicable). Though most of his magic is passive, stronger elemental spells such as the one used to raise the Deyda require time and focus to use. | Has little capacity for thought beyond searching for Elspeth (Though this is not combat applicable) | Heliod's will is able to override Daxos' (Though this rarely if ever happens in combat and thus is not combat applicable)
