	Dante can instantly heal from nearly any wound; even the [[Hell Pride]]s were surprised when he ignored their attacks at the beginning of ''Devil May Cry 3''. Dante's durability has been shown to allow him to simply shrug off wounds that would either disable or outright kill a normal Human, such as being impaled through the chest with his own sword (something that happens to him during almost every game and also happened in the [[Devil May Cry: The Animated Series\|anime]]), struck by opponents with superhuman strength (such as when he showed no discomfort when Nero repeatedly punched him in the face with [[Devil Bringer]]), or being shot point-blank in the head and stomach.

	Dante rarely shows himself to struggle in battle and wins most of his fights with such ease it's af if he was merely toying with his opponent, however his brother Vergil did defeat him once, then again as Nelo Angelo. Nero apparently defeated him at the beginning of ''Devil May Cry 4'', but Dante admitted the battle only ended the way it did because he underestimated Nero. In their second fight Dante soundly defeated Nero and made the latter realize he was being toyed with from the beginning.

	In ''Devil May Cry 4'', it is implied that Dante's strength is not just due to his father, but also from his will to protect others. It is suggested that any Demon who possesses the will to protect and love others rather than to simply destroy will gain the full might of their demonic power, though Dante, Vergil, and Nero may simply be exceptions due to possessing both human souls and demonic power.

	Thanks to his half-demon nature, Dante can release his demonic power through his [[Devil Trigger]]. The appearance of this form varies throughout the games — in ''Devil May Cry'' and ''Devil May Cry 3'', the form is influenced by which Devil Arm he carries, while in ''Devil May Cry 2'' and ''Devil May Cry 4'' he has a pair of Devil Forms believed to be his "true" Devil form. These forms usually increase his strength and speed and give him slow regeneration, and sometimes grant him new abilities, like flying. These abilities could be chosen in ''Devil May Cry 2'' by selecting the different pieces in the [[Amulet]].

	'''Martial Arts''': Dante knows how to fight bare handed, in a style that befits a ''Royal Guard''.

			Dante is an extremely adept combatant. He is incredibly proficient with any type of weapon, displaying near-mastery of them within moments of picking them up. He is also quite skilled in unarmed combat, managing to disarm and subdue Nero bare-handed in their second fight; his hand-to-hand combat skills are also displayed by his usage of gauntlet-style Devil Arms.

			Dante's skill with firearms is impeccable. He has displayed enough accuracy to hit targets as small as the pommel of his sword; shoot his opponents' bullets out of mid-air; and hit the same target over and over with such unerring precision that his bullets stack on top of each other. Dante is also shown to have incredible hand-eye coordination; for example, he kicks the Neo-Generator into the statue above the bridge approximately 20 meters away from where he stands in Devil May Cry 3, and kicks the seed of Echidna the She-Viper back at her to get her attention in Devil May Cry 4.
