Attack Potency: At least Wall level (Should scale to his durablity)
Speed: At least Subsonic (Can dodge Sora's light arrowsAragami Chapter XII: Ascension)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: At least Wall level
Durability: At least Wall level (Survived, unharmed, the explosion of Hikaru, who damaged the ground and nearby brick wallsAragami Chapter IX: The Last Captain)
Stamina: Superhuman, possibly Infinite (Did all of the events of Aragami 1 in a single night, not showing any signs of tiredness. As an Aragami, he does not need to rest, eat or sleep. All he requires is a shadow to fuel his spells)
Range: Standard Melee Range, Several Meters with Kunai and teleportation
Standard Equipment: Ryo's Sword and Orochi's Sword
Intelligence: Gifted (In his childhood, Ryo was trained to be a proficient light adept, someone who's able to manipulate the light essence through themselves. He'd later train fighting and weaponry for only six months, and that was enough for him to kill an entire bandit camp. He'd also learn how to control his "life essence", which is mainly focused on healing, in and out of combat, as well as a Sealing Technique as a last resort to defeat the Shadow Empress. With all that knowledge, Ryo alongside a few friends, created and lead Kaiho, a brotherhood consisting of multiple adepts. Ryo would train them until they were ready to take the fight to Nisshoku and the Shadow Empress.
As an Aragami, he'd lose the capability to control his "light essence". However, he'd be granted the ability of his "shadow essence" instead, expanding his arsenal further by learning new techniques with scrolls found throughout the game, training himself to be capable of infiltrating heavily fortified outposts such as castles, military camps and entire cities filled with enemy guards)
Standard Tactics: Stealth, in most cases, will be the first option Ryo will go for. Since it's a player's choice, it depends if Ryo will or will not go for the kill straight away; however, it's hinted in the final chapter that the canon path is the demon one, but that's ambiguous.
Weaknesses: Holy Manipulation will, in most cases, kill him instantly. Normal light made by fire or laterns, upon contact, will drain his essence and make him unable to cast any spells. The light of the sun will kill him as well.
