Strength
- Even ordinary hyboreans can snap the neck of a tiger
- Can manhandle fully-armored men with one arm
- Capable of dazing Conan the Barbarian and Spider-Man with physical strikes
-- And can cut through Spider-Man's webs
- Weapon strikes rip through normal armor like papier mache
Speed/Agility

- Can disappear from people's vision even when they are looking right at her from dozens of feet away (Faster than the eye can see by like, a lot)

- Took repeated hits from Spider-Man and an angered Conan
- High fortitude
- Walks around fighting in unfriendly climates in a metal bikini on a day to day basis
- Cut her way out of the stomach of a (were?)wolf
-- How did it swallow her in one piece in the first place? How and why is she and everything she owns suddenly immune to acid? We don't know, comic book logic

- Can effectively blind-fight
Healing Factor

Weapons
(Pre-reboot Sonya, was called "Sonja" later)
Red Sonja's Sword
- Has had it since joining Conan's universe in some form or another
- Seemingly similar to Conan's Atlantean Sword in most incarnations
- Longsword
- ~3.5 to 4 feet long
- Able to deflect magical energy bolts and other hi-caliber attacks without breaking
- Can break apart crystals
Battleaxe
- A large axe
- Can be used in one or two hands
Spear
- A spear
- Can be used in one or two hands
- Look, these are literally just ordinary mideival weapons so I don't know what you're expecting me to put here
Dagger
- A spare dagger
- Can be thrown
Longbow
- Is a famously good shot with it
- Unknown how many arrows she carries with her, though it appears to be roughly 60 usually
Pistol
- From her days as a Rennaisance-age heroine prior to being rebooted as a barbarianess in Conan's verse
- Is a pistol
- Has two of them
Fists and Feet
- For laying old-fashioned beatdowns or for socking Conans in the face
- Superb hand-to-hand combatant
Armor
Silver Metal Bikini
- Is... well, what it sounds like
- Scale version is most common, though sometimes wears chain or plate versions
- ^Actually has a reason to exist
Shield
- A round shield, sometimes used alongside a melee weapon
- Can also be used to attack
Leather Tunic
- Sometimes worn over armor
Cloak
- Usually green or white
- Grants added protection from the cold and the wind
Chainmail Armor
- On occasion dons light chain armor
Weapon Mastery
- A master of any weapon she finds
- Allows for adaptability on the battlefield
- Even comparatively non-weaponlike objects are deadly in her hands through skill alone, not even counting her great strength
Berserker Strength
- Activated when severely angered or outnumbered
- Increases overall strength and deadliness
Divine Protection
- As chosen of the goddess Scathath, enjoys unique benefits, including:
-- Occasional good fortune
-- Mitigation of blows landed against her
-- A sort of divine aspect, striking awe and fear into lesser people when she needs to
Weaknesses
- Only has access to physical attacks normally
- Hot-blooded and brash nature
- Still susceptible, if resistant, to metabolic hazards that would kill a normal mortal
- Divine Protection is somewhat unreliable
