## Techniques

**Full Counter:** Meliodas can reflect magic attacks back at his opponent with at least double the original power, provided he properly times his counter. Meliodas has shown to be able to reflect several attacks at once, provided they are all coming directly to him. For simultaneous spaced out attacks, Meliodas can take advantage of Lostvayne's clone ability to counter them all at once.

* **Counter Vanish:** Rather than reflecting an attack, Meliodas can disperse it, nullifying it. He used his palm to do it rather than his sword, although there is no indication that he has to use his palm.
* **Revenge Counter:** Meliodas lowers his magic power so that he can take as much damage as he can handle. After he has "charged" himself with enough damage he returns all of it in a single massive energy attack aimed directly at his opponent. It is shown to be his last resort.

**Hellblaze:** Meliodas can generate the black purgatory fire of the Demon Clan, capable of nullifying the regeneration of "immortals" like Ban. Hellblaze can be coated on Meliodas' body or weapon through Enchant: Hellblaze to enhance his strikes. He can also create fireballs in his hands that explode into large infernos and releases large blasts from his sword. The black fire cannot be put out normally and was able to burn down the Fairy King's Forest despite the Forest being immune to natural fire.

* **Divine Slayer:** One of Meliodas' more powerful techniques that requires him to heighten his senses and power to their limit. He coats his sword in black flames and unleashes a large slash of fire at his target.

* **Divine 1,000 Slices:** A derivative technique of Divine Slayer (the two are written the same in Japanese) Meliodas releases an aura of purgatory fire around his entire body and charges his opponent, quickly slicing them repeatedly.

**Power of Darkness**: Demons like Meliodas can create and manipulate a mysterious dark substance to enhance both their offensive and defensive abilities. It has been shown to form various weapons and to protect them from attacks that would otherwise cause serious injury. It can also be morphed into various shapes.

* **Trillion Dark:** Meliodas launches a barrage of small spheres of high concentrated darkness at the opponent.

**Physical Clone:** With Lostvayne allows Meliodas to make physical clones of himself. The number of clones determines the power level of each one. For instance, a single clone has half of Meliodas' power level, and that halved power level is divided evenly among each individual clone. So four clones would each have one-eighth the power level of the original Meliodas. The clones can fight on Meliodas' behalf, serve as distractions, as well as use Full Counter. Note that Meliodas is not weakened at all by making clones.

**Admonition:** Meliodas can extract the commandments of others, summon them at will, and absorb them into himself.

**Assault Mode:** This simply refers to Meliodas returning to the full extent of his power as when he led the Ten Commandments in the past. It is not a "transformation" in the usual sense of the word. His total power level in this form is **142,000**. Meliodas exudes a miasma that causes weaker beings to feel sick, even ones as powerful as Post-Training King.

## Feats

Meliodas Fought for unknown amount of time during the first Holy War against both the Goddess and Demon Clans, he was strong enough to take on legendary figures of old times that makes them strong.

Even as Emotions, Meliodas has survived inside the depths of Purgatory which is a truly hellish landscape and distorted space which dialates time between there and real world.

## Weakness/Limitations

Meliodas' Full Counter can work on reflecting multiple attacks at the same time, however he cannot reflect attacks if they are delated or timed off or if they are not directly facing him.

At the beginning of the series, Meliodas had difficulty controlling his powers as they are tethered to his wrath and would go into a violent berserker state, he even destroyed the nation Danafor from it.
