Other Attributes
List of Equipment:

Blades of Chaos: Powerful weapons given to Kratos by Ares after he pledged his allegiance to him. They were a pair of large curved blades that were attached to Kratos' arms via chains, which served as both weapons and marks of his servitude to the God of War. He could swing them about to strike enemies and pks. Kratos lost them after Ares ripped them from his arms during a hallucination of Lysandra and Calliope and their deaths. Blade of Artemis: A large, cumbersome blade given to Kratos by Artemis. It was quite slow, but also did more damage to enemies than the Blades of Chaos. Blades of Athena: Given to Kratos by Athena at the end of God of War. Replaced the Blades of Chaos, which Ares took from Kratos in their final battle. Barbarian Hammer: A slow, but powerful melee weapon originally wielded by the Barbarian King, Alrik. Kratos could deliver powerful slams and smashes, and also summoned legions of souls. Spear of Destiny: The spear was a magical weapon with Purple crystals that were infused in its ends, which could be used to pierce enemies and even created more explosive crystals. It also had the ability to extend and retract itself for greater range attacks.  Blade of Olympus: A weapon that possesses incredible Godly Powers, which allowed those who wielded it to kill Deities or those who were infused with Godly Might, as Kratos used it to slay the Colossus of Rhodes, Athena, Perses, Cronos, Zeus, and Gaia. The Blade could also release blasts of energy that were powerful enough to destroy armies in one swing. Blades of Exile: A weapon similar to the Blades of Chaos and the Blades of Athena from the previous games. After the Blades of Athena became dulled when Kratos fell into the River Styx, Athena gave them to Kratos in order to regain his trust. Their magic power called forth the spears and shields of Kratos' exiled Spartan brothers, that protected him and damaged his foes. Claws of Hades: Kratos used those chains after he took them from Hades. The Claws allowed Kratos to summon the souls of the Undead. The Claws could be also controlled with the user's mind, where the claws spun around Kratos, without him moving his arms. Nemean Cestus: A weapon given to Kratos by Hephaestus after Kratos gave him the Omphalos Stone. They were a pair of triple blades that were chained together. Hephestus gave it the power to project electricity. The magic power that came along with it was similar to Cronos' Rage. Amulet of Uroborus: A golden amulet that was built around a blue-green gem that could manipulate time in a variety of ways. By manipulating time and space, the Amulet of Uroborus was capable of rebuilding enormous structures, such as the Statue of Apollo and large sections of the Hecatonchires. When activated, the area near was glowed Green. When it was used to rebuild something that was previously broken Oath Stone of Orkos: A large orange stone had the power to create a clone of the wielder who was seemingly made entirely of a black and slime-like energy with orange markings. When Orkos used it, the orange markings were in the pattern of his many scars/former Oath Stone points; when Kratos used it, the markings imitated his red tattoos. Eyes of Truth: The eyes were hidden in a bust of Aletheia, that was located in the Lantern of the monumental Statue of Apollo, that was built in the island of Delos by the Engineer, Archimedes, and, long after, were used by Kratos in order to solve puzzles inside the lantern and broke free from the illusions that the Furies released upon him. Poseidon's Trident: A trident that is a symbol of Poseidon. . With it, Kratos could dive underwater, swim, and breathe infinitely. Kratos also could use it to create thunderstorms and strong tidal waves. Medusa's Head After he killed Medusa for Aphrodite, Kratos kept Medusa's Head and used its Gorgon powers to turn his enemies into stone. Although that power didn't work on other Gorgons, all other enemies were turned into stone. Larger enemies took longer to turn into stone than smaller ones. Army of Hades: A power given by Hades. It allowed Kratos to summon the Souls of Hades, and made them attack his enemies. Amulet of the Fates: When used, it causes everything around the user to greatly slow down and take on a green hue, while the user continues to move at normal speed. The amulet, however, could only be activated when it was close enough to a Fates Statue. Golden Fleece :With the Golden Fleece, Kratos could block and counter enemy attacks, as well as absorb enemy projectiles and throw them back at his attackers. If a Gorgon used its stone stare and Kratos successfully deflected it, every enemy on screen turned to stone, including the one who cast the attack. Icarus' Wings: With the wings, Kratos could "glide" small distances through the air, which allowed him to travel across much greater distances than just jumping and launching a limited array of attacks. Opening Air Vents or shafts allowed Kratos to fly higher and farther. Nemesis Whip: A weapon given to Kratos by Hephaestus after Kratos gave him the Omphalos Stone. They were a pair of triple blades that were chained together. Hephestus gave it the power to project electricity. Bow of Apollo: He obtained it after he killed Peirithous, the Mortal lover of Persephone, who was imprisoned in the Underworld by Hades and condemned to spend all eternity trapped within a cage of brambles. That item was similar to Typhon's Bane, except that it used the elemental power of fire instead of wind. Head of Helios:When the Head of Helios shined on enemies, it temporarily blinded them and did slight damage. Kratos could also charge the Head in order to release a powerful burst of light that stunned and damaged all enemies in the vicinity. That blast also illuminated the enemies themselves, which eliminated the need to use the Head itself until all affected foes were defeated. Boots of Hermes:Those greaves allowed Kratos to move at great speed, ramming through enemies and throwing them aside, and the ability to run along the sides of walls. Those walls were always marked with shining and golden bootprints. When not in use, the wings on the side coiled themselves around the Boots.

Extra Info:
 * Despite the amount of powers and abilities shown on here, Kratos doesn't have all of this at one time as he has different abilities depending which version of him from the games you are using him as. Thus when using Kratos in a VS thread, and unless it is a composite of Sora from all of the games, it is important that you note of which Kratos your using in VS threads
 * Before attempting to upgrade Kratos, consider that God of War's cosmology is similar to Greek Mythology, of which is proven by the fact Earth is flat and it's not a heliocentric cosmology (I.E The planets don't revolve around the sun). All this shows that their knowledge of the full extend of the universe is limited and as such, can't be rated strictly above 4-A (Of which is consistent regardless)
 * This profile covers Kratos from the original trilogy. Not from the recent 2014 edition of God of War, where he traverses to The Norse Pantheon
