Thearesia van Astrea should have Precognition, she can sense and read the trajectory of her opponents attacks, and also knows the optimal way to kill her opponents:

She kicked away the huge body holding the sword, so that it didn't fall on Wilhelm. At the same time, shots, filled with the lust for blood, energetically advanced towards the slender Thearesia.
All of those trajectories, she could sense them. She could read them. On her skin, she could feel them.

Dodging them, Thearesia followed a mysterious ray she could see with her sword. Suddenly appearing, mysterious white rays were floating in the sky. What was even more mysterious, was the fact that she knew that she should follow the rays with her sword.

Following, following, her sword glided on the white rays. Her sword glissaded like wind, and subsequently slashed down the bodies of the demi-humans.

Wilhelm, who came to the square, locked his eyes with Thearesia's and swung the sword.

She put her hand in its path, and accepted it with her fingers. Thearesia knew everything, regarding the optimal angle of striking, and the optimal force of striking. With his sword's swipe stopped, Wilhelm harshly distorted his lips, and said words painted with passion, unfitting of the reunion.

This ability is a result of being a sword saint, which makes Reinhard's own precognition make sense, before i just assumed it was a blessing but clearly it's due to being a sword saint, here is what was said about Reinhard's intuition:

Reinhardt's superhuman intuition.
It informed him of dire, imminent threats to his self, and preemptively detecting incoming attacks. His keen instincts told him that he could not dodge to the rear. He immediately straightened and began to search for alternative routes.
~ Arc 53​

Despite this Wilhelm van Astrea who trained for 2 years when he was younger or Power of Love as the author calls it, defeated Thearesia as this ability was useless against him:

In Thearesia's eyes, as always, were the floating white rays of battle. If she were to merely follow the rays and trace them with her sword, she would unquestionably kill her opponent, that was the Sword God's assistance in her eyes.
And that guaranteed path to victory in the sword fight, built by the Sword God, was being broken through by mere devotion and maddening passion of the Sword Demon.

The floating white rays always seemed to get slashed away at their ends by the rusty sword. Intercepting every single one of the countless white rays, the Sword Demon roared, and stepped towards a victory which he should never have been able to achieve.

Her heart was throbbing faster and faster. Each and every time, they came in contact. Each and every time their swords collided, each and every time the white rays were cut off.
~ Arc 5, Chapter 73​
Power of Love Wilhelm should have Resistance to Precognition

Also one last thing to add is that Sword Saints have heightened battle instincts to perfection, as long as it's connected to battle they can point out imperfections:

She would just go around and have them wield their weapons and train, and point out flaws in their fighting as always, nothing unusual.
The utmost terrifying aspect of the 『Divine Protection of the Sword Saint』 was perhaps how it heightened the battle instincts of the person to perfection. It was not limited to just swords. Whether it were spears or axes, if they were connected to battling, Thearesia knew all of their leads and imperfections alike.
~ Arc 5, Chapter 73​
And again despite how skilled Sword Saints are Wilhelm still beat Thearesia, it's not really an ability addition just a note in the intellect section of the characters that should be added about their skill.
 
Forgot about clarifying Thearesia regen negation, should be Low High since even cellular Regenerationn can't heal wounds she inflicts:

Q: So the 'Blessing of the Reaper' makes it so wounds won't heal, then. For example, setting aside the question of it being possible or not, neither cellular Regenerationn nor cellular reproduction will close the wound, then? Patch it up. Then, if it's an arm or leg affected by the 'Blessing of the Reaper', cut it off and overwrite the wound, and then regenerate the whole limb, including the muscle and bone that was cut off.
A: In the case where the wound expands, the influence of the 'Reaper' wound expands as well. If a fingertip was cut, and you think you can deal with that by cutting off the finger, at the moment the finger is cut off, the finger that was cut off becomes the target of the 'Reaper'. Even cellular reproduction wouldn't work, I'd guess.
