• Information Analysis (His His special skill allows him to a man's true nature at one glance)
• Analytical Prediction (From the moment Askeladd read Thorffin's first move he lost and he is able to read Thorfinn's eyes to see where he targets)
• Social Influencing (He has been the leader of a Viking group full of experienced men for years and he convinced the king into sparing his own son when he was considering killing him)

Weaknesses

Highly defensive of his homeland, Wales. This can backfire though, as he decapitated King Sweyn after he threatened to invade Wales if Askeladd didn't betray Canute.

Ranked tied for #2 of 8 in Vinland Saga by strength.
