* **Enhanced Agility:** Angels have a super-human agility, such that they can react quickly, jump great heights, and climb and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion.
* **Augmented Stamina:** Like the other 4 top races, Angels stamina is near-infinite.
* **Enhanced Durability (Nigh-Invulnerability):** Hurting an angel with normal means is impossible. Only supernatural means can harm them.
* **Enhanced Senses:** Angels senses are far higher than that of humans. Only equaled by the other top 4 races. They are very sensitive when it come to demonic energy.
* **Immortality:** Angels can live forever. They are also immune to all conventional illnesses, diseases, viruses, and infections.
* **Regeneration:** Angels can heal faster than humans, their regeneration scales with that of Demons.
* **Holy Energy:** Angels has the ability to manipulate and generate holy energy.

	+ **Territory Declaration:** Like saints, Angels have the ability to declare a holy territory.

* **Photokinesis(light):** Angels have the ability to generate and manipulate light as they wish.

### Seraphs' Exclusive Abilities

### Virtue Seraphs' Exclusive Abilities

* **Conceptual Manipulation:** As beings associated with concepts, Virtues can manipulate the concepts under their authority.

## Weaknesses

* **Miasma:** Demonic Energy is very harmful and corrosive to angels.
* **Environment:** Angels need a holy territory to unleash their full power. If angels went to a corrupted area or unholy place, their strength will be weekend significantly.
* **Demons:** Angels and Demons are mortal enemies.
* **Hell's Metal:** Weapon forged from hell's metal is lethal to Angels. For normal angels, being wounded by such weapons will result in instant death but for a seraph it will only wound them if it's just hell's metal. Hell's Metal can be used to craft weapons that can even harm Seraphs or even Heavenly Virtues as seen when a bullet made of Hell's Metal, engraved with Nordic runes and powered with high-rank demon's soul harmed Ariel and nearly killed her.
* **Falling:** If an angel disobeyed the orders and fell from grace, they would lose most of their abilities and can even become a demon.
* **Spear of Longinus:** A spear specially created to take the life of the most loved 'son' of the Heavenly Father. According to Lucifer, this is the only weapon capable of killing Heavenly Father's creations.
* **Heart Extraction or Destruction:** Destroying an angel's heart or manually removing it will result in instant death. As seen when Agares killed Michael.
