Arthur is the last character I’d expect to have a confirmed age. Well, there is him and Shuma to a degree. Still, not the choices you would expectAlso looked through Arthur and Firebrand (despite being normally an anti-hero, he is more of a villain in MvC's continuity unlike Tron)'s information for their future pages because why not (besides more Capcom profiles).
For Arthur's biographies in MvC3, Official Complete Works and Infinite, it is said that he is an expert wielder of holy weapons & armors, and skilled at rapidly hurling spears, swords and other weapons toward his enemies with precision and timing as he lectured to Hsien-Ko (obviously applies only for intelligence). He does have Martial Arts from his normal light attacks, some weapons/moves like Goddess' Bracelet allow for Danmaku and using Golden/Emperor Armor while in boxers allows him to restore his silver armor (Cloth/Metal Manipulation - besides enhancing his weapons in a next form).
For standard equipment, Arthur has large lances (clearer to see from his assist role in MvC1; up to three in that game or two in MvC3/MvCI - also a melee weapon), swords (melee), daggers (up to three; melee), axes, bombs, scythes (also boomerangs), a scatter crossbow and Swallow Blade, all throwing out of nowhere (Dimensional Storage), except vine whips and a shield (Attack Reflection for melee/Minor Power Nullification for projectiles; a bashing weapon). Funnily, he is one of the characters to have his age (28) revealed unlike others.
I wonder if his DLC costume where he's just a skeleton (even getting his skin back when wearing an "armor") applies for immortality or something (and sensing Akuma's air of a demon).
According to every biography, Firebrand is considered to be an elite warrior among the Red Arremers in Demon Village, In Infinite, after beating him in a match, Arthur claimed that he used to have much more trouble with the likes (Red Arremers) of him at first, saying that his practice made him stronger.
The DLC skin probably can’t be used for Arthur’s abilities, but sensing Akuma’s demonic air would count for something
