Weaknesses
Escanor has no control over his Sunlight ability, he will continue to grow in strength depending on what time of day it is and his power becomes completely unmanageable at its peak. At night he becomes weak, timid and submissive. Pseudo-Sun only gives Escanor a few seconds of constant power boost, which then gets him back to his weaker state. Though this is irrelevant if he's using Rhitta. If using Rhitta as a sun, his form will be lost if Rhitta is knocked out of his hand, and its stored power is finite. During the daytime he's rather arrogant, but this is mitigated somewhat by his combat skill and power in addition to his willingness to simply blitz targets. Escanor's Sunshine cannot display its full power during rainy or cloudy conditions. | His form as "The One" only lasts for as long as it is precisely high noon, fading the minute noon passes, after Noon his power will begin to decline. | The One Ultimate requires Escanor to convert his own life force into magic power
Ranked #11 of 97 in Nanatsu no Taizai by strength.
