Abilities
Master Swordsmanship: Daniel, as Vermillion's Sword Mentor, is extremely skilled in swordsmanship. He was so skilled that he managed to fight equally with Ikki Kurogane, for some time. Daniel also was very fast, even keeping up with Ikki. He also has taught Stella in swordsmanship. Keen Intellect: Daniel is shown being a very intellectual combatant. He was able to even outsmart Ikki for a short period of time.
 * Croix du Sud: Daniel's sword technique. The technique is a series of five thrusts, that hit the opponent's vital points, fast as lightning. The attack forms a Southern Cross pattern.

Device
Lionheart: Daniel's Device takes the form of a long rapier.
 * Flexibility: Despite looking like a rapier, Lionheart is as flexible as a fleuret (foil). It's strange flexibility made it possible to hit from different angles than it would seem. It's flexibility also makes Ikki's Blade Steal and Dokuga No Tachi, unusable.
 * Blood Circle: Daniel's barrier-type Noble Art. It creates a barrier around himself and any opponents in his vicinity. It makes the opponent unable to escape him, though Daniel is also unable to exit it, without deactivating it.
