Attack Potency: Low Outerverse level (Hercules fought the Chaos King, although it was stated that he would lose, and after the fight, he restored the Multiverse by sacrificing his entire power)
Speed: Immeasurable
Lifting Strength: Immeasurable
Striking Strength: Low Outerversal (Made the Chaos King "bleed" with his attacks)
Durability: Low Outerverse level (Endured a beating from the Chaos King)
Stamina: Infinite
Range: Low Outerversal
Standard Equipment: His mace, the Sword of Peleus (a short blade which is very sharp and effective. It can cut through molecules and is stated to be able to cut through anything, although this is almost certainly a hyperbole). +5 greatclub, +5 mighty distance composite longbow, skin of the Nemian lion. His sword, and his bow. Bow and poisonous Hydra arrows. The Nemean cestus. Torches.
- Optional Equipment: The Shield of Perseus (effective for defense but also has the face of Medusa magically imprinted on it which can turn enemies to stone and reflect energy attacks, the stone transformation lasts for several days before wearing off), the Arrows of Heracles (magic arrows coated with deadly hydra venom, very fast, powerful and accurate, for example, they sliced bullets and guns in half) and the Helm of Hades (when worn, makes the user invisible to the senses)
Intelligence: At least Extraordinary Genius (Has an intelligence rating of 20 when Genius is rated at 17. Incredibly skilled in combat, both unarmed and with melee weapons, invented his own wrestling, external, millennia of battle experience, great knowledge of human anatomy, vast cosmic knowledge. Skilled and clever warrior. Immortal being with thousands of years worth of knowledge. Lots of battle experience from completeting his 12 tasks. Master strategist. Despite his madness, he still retains some of his combat skill, parrying Saber's attacks despite Invisible Air being wrapped around the latter's Excalibur in their initial encounters and several of Gilgamesh's weapons from Gate of Babylon to protect himself and Illya and is quick to fall back on Pankration, a Greek martial art, basically a combination of wrestling and boxing, when his Axe Sword is restrained. Due to his Eye of the Mind (False) skill, he is also unhindered by visual obstructions. He can effortlessly follow Saber's invisible sword, showing that his battle instincts are still ingrained within him. Also, he's extremely protective of Illya and will go to any length to protect her, managing to accomplish feats like snapping Enkidu to reach Gilgamesh and save her. As the human aspect of the greatest hero of Greece, Alcides is an incredibly skilled warrior. Despite losing his god given abilities and techniques, he is able to use the techniques he gained as a human, to accomplish feats such as repelling countless Noble Phantasms fired from Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon, sniping Gilgamesh and his master from twenty kilometers despite Gilgamesh's Auto Defensors defending them. His skill in combat is such that even Hippolyta, the Queen of the Amazons and a daughter Ares is outmatched by him. He is also among the handful of Servants who possess the Eye of the Mind (True) skill, which showcases just how much experience he has accumulated.)
Weaknesses: He cannot fight in Spirit Form. Sufficiently powerful attacks can take off multiple lives at once, potentially even killing him twelve times over instantly.
Note: In his demigod form, Hercules has access to every spell in the Dungeons and Dragons universe. Due to the sheer amount of abilities it would be improper to list them all here. As such they've been ignored, but assume that he is capable of casting any spell in the Player's Handbook.
