Other

Standard Tactics: Galand will generally fight his enemies straight on with his Halberd to directly kill his opponents before they can react to his presence, he will also try to intimidate characters who would try to fight back physically

Weaknesses: Galand can be extremely overconfident, taking unknown enemies way less seriously, and giving them chances to fight back depending on the situation | Chaos Galand is unaware of being mind controlled by Arthur, and reminding him on his past life as a demon will make him temporarily be disturbed. Galand can only be resurrected if Arthur wants to revive them, in which he will be unable to revive if Arthur denies his request or doesn't see him as useful.

Note: Even if the verses use's the idea of Power Levels, the usage of them to determine someone's strength without issue is unreliable. For example: Fraudin who has a total power of 31,000 should logically make him stronger than Galand who has 27,000, however, Galand is consistently treated as superior to Fraudin, such as Fraudin only being a replacment of a deceased commandment without having a commandment himself, or Fraudin getting incapacitated quickly against Sariel, while Galand was capable of fighting off and cutting in half Tarmiel, an angel similar in power. Furthermore, Galand was getting defeated by Post-Unsealed Power Base Meliodas who is considered weaker than Tarmiel Thus, while the use of Power Levels to determine someone's strength/gap in power is completely usable, it should not be as a 100% undeniable evidence as to why a character cannot scale to a feat if said character shows to be relatively close in power or is considered narratively similar in power.
