The Twelve Heavenly Guards' combat strength depended on what aspect one considered. As far as defense went, they were beyond reproach. Their bodies were immensely powerful, and their defenses were formidable.
Their offensive power, however, was nothing special. At least in a one-on-one fight, they were only average, or slightly above average at best.
Although the Twelve Heavenly Guards were relatively weak in single combat, they did possess one powerful ability: combined attacks.
