Ainz Ooal Gown/Abilities and Powers

Abilities and Powers
The normal amount of spells a level 100 player could learn was 300 at maximum. However, Ainz used his special ability "Dark Wisdom" to learn and memorize 718 different spells. For long-term memory, it became paramount to Ainz he remember all of the NPCs setting upon his arrival in the new world. Though his class and abilities are not suitable for PVP, Ainz Ooal Gown was a PVP/PKER guild in YGGDRASIL, proving he was well versed in fights and ambushes which has allowed him to win against players optimized in PVP many times.

Because Ainz doesn't underestimate his opponents but is cautious all-around, he tends to plan out his fight before readily engaging them in combat. Ainz would make preparations first and tends to take any advantage he can in order to be one step ahead of his opponent. This includes gathering cash items, using his guild members' equipment, or buffing himself up before launching an attack on Shalltear Bloodfallen, etc. He is also adept with useful information imparted from his fellow guild mate, Punitto Moe in regards to fighting players. As a magic caster, Ainz is already a strategist and tactician who can hold his own in battle even against a warrior. This was shown when he defeated Shalltear, who happens to be a hard counter to his necromancy and summoning skills.

For a pure magic caster such as Ainz, his selection in weapons was very limited, largely to staves, daggers and the like. Although Ainz cannot used certain weapons due to his class restrictions, there was actually possible ways to bypass it. Upon discovering a hoard of treasures during his journey to the Dwarf Kingdom, Ainz was able to find a long-sword weapon imbued with some sort of magic which can waived that class restriction and let him used it. Moreover, he made modifications out of new world items such as the elemental weapon, Frost Pain to use its spell 'Icy Burst'. Simultaneously, this was while another spell like 'Perfect Warrior' was still in-effect, where he is unable to use the rest of his other remaining spells. In that form, he was also able to waived class restrictions, enabling him to equip items without suffering under any class penalties whatsoever.

On the other hand, Ainz can used the mental bond with his summoned monster for orders to command them under him. Likewise, Ainz was able to sent out another type of mental command to his prototype staff, which is used to initiate the weapon's ability for offensive means in battle. Similar to natives like Clementine in the New World, he is also capable of releasing 'Fireball' or acid-type element spells from a weapon such as the stilettos only if magic casters like Fluder were to cast it with their own magic.

In direct close combat physically, Ainz relied on his prior knowledge and battle experience from YGGDRASIL to fend off the New World natives and their martial art skills. Yet at the same time, cultivating and gaining new knowledge plus experience based on his encounter with Gazef Stronoff and Clementine since then as a front-line fighter. Currently, he has been having an ongoing training under Cocytus as a warrior then putting that practice to test through fighting the workers. Such efforts was also shown during Ainz's battle against the Martial Lord by including the usage of his other abilities like Despair Auras or Negative Touch.

As a level 100 mage, Ainz was quite confident that in terms of stats, skills and even tactics, he estimated himself to be closely the equivalent of a level 33 warrior in comparison. Whereas, after using 'Perfect Warrior' spell to turn into a level 100 warrior, Ainz's stats far outstripped Shalltear, who was not a pure warrior. In exchange for all of his magic caster's abilities, this transformation would grant him overwhelming physical might and prowess as a level 100 warrior, but without magic or class skills.

Over Rank Magics
While magic only goes up to the 10th rank, Over Rank Magic is said to go beyond that, but it acts more like a special ability than an actual spell. Magic casters can unleash it without consuming any of their MP. The number you could learn is one for each level after level 70. When it is first learned, it can only be used once a day. However, it can be used once more for every additional ten levels. The average player who has reached level 100 can use Over Rank magic for at least 4 times.

Furthermore, Over Rank Magic has a weakness that it could not be activated consecutively. Firstly, it has an activation period and certain amount of damage done to the magic caster will interrupt the casting. Secondly, although it is possible to use cash items to remove this activation period, Over Rank Magic has a cooldown time for the whole party members, that cannot be removed.

 * Iä Shub-Niggurath: Summons a black cyclone and kills everything in the area. The victims are sacrificed to summon monsters over level 90, "Dark Young". The number of summoned dark young is proportional to the total number of sacrifices.

While in this form, he can now bypass class restrictions such as being able to use Touch Me's World Champion armor without penalty. This would also include freely utilizing any weapons and its abilities during his fight with Shalltear. As a result of the transformation, the spell does come with another cost, where he is unable to use neither of his magic or spells during the duration of that time period.

Special Skill

 * The Goal of All Life is Death: This special skill is one of Ainz's most powerful abilities and comes from the Eclipse class, which is one of the hardest classes to get because it requires the overlord class with spells specialized in necromancy and instant death type magics. The Eclipse class lets the user become a true lord of death, a life consuming Eclipse. This special skill delays other instant death type spells for 12 seconds. However, it strengthens the instant death effect of spells and skills to the point where even those with complete immunity were killed. Ainz used this special skill with '(Widen) Cry of the Banshee', and it killed everything in 200 meter. The cooldown of this special skill is 100 hours duration. It's not possible to resist death spells enhanced by this special skill unless one uses either an item or skill, causing them to be revived before the 12 seconds mark.

Each with a unique ability and the power to summon monsters level 85 and above once a day. Because it belongs to an entire series of items, after the complete collection, one can display its immense power. The Guild of Ainz Ooal Gown spent tremendous perseverance and time to complete the entire collection. In fact, one member of the guild wanted to give up on the idea during the collection. It became the symbol of power for Ainz Ooal Gown.

Dark Warrior Equipment
Under his Adventurer Persona as a warrior, all of the items he is equipped with are relic-class items, two tiers lower than Ainz’s main gear. Though his technique are rather rough and he doesn't use any martial arts at all, his great power doesn't seem to have problem with that. However, Ainz's fighting style became a lot more skill with dual wielding two great swords than ever before upon using the spell, "Perfect Warrior". His other alias Momon, "Dark Hero", he was look upon by the adventurers and workers as someone who has tremendous physical ability and can fight on even grounds against a devil of difficulty level 200+ (Jaldabaoth).


 * Full Body Metal Armor: This pure suit of black plate armor is created for his Adventurer Persona "Momon the Dark Hero" by the spell, "Create Greater Item" and has many other requirements. The armor's hardness is said to be compared to Adamantium.


 * Twin Great Sword: The two swords are created by the spell "Create Greater Item" for his Adventurer Persona primarily, wielding one in each hand for melee combat as a warrior for dual wielding. Because it's Ainz who created them for close combat, however, he can also additionally used the swords for throwing as a long-ranged projectile weapon and then making a new one appear.


 * Black Belt
 * Black Widow Spider Clothes
 * Crown of Mental Barriers
 * Haste Boots
 * Járngreipr: A common item that improves the user's strength. It is used by Ainz Ooal Gown members only to cover up their hands.
 * Nemean Lion
 * Sure Hit Glasses
 * Necroplasmic Mantle: The red cape his Adventurer Persona is seen wearing around his neck. While so, it was inspired by an anti-hero from American comics.

Other Equipment

 * Mask of Envy: A YGGDRASIL holiday item awarded to those, who logged in on time during the day of Christmas Eve between 7AM and 10PM and played for over two hours. Unfortunately, this item is useless in battle, providing no special effects although it provided him a guise to conceal his undead appearance.
 * Frost Pain Modified: Upon making modifications with the original weapon, Ainz under his Adventurer Persona was able to summon this weapon from pocket dimension to aid him in his battle against Demiurge. As this weapon is much stronger than the original replica, it's power was seen to be greater enough to even suppress Demiurge's hellfire effect for a moment. This lets Ainz use a high-level spell three times a day, but without the special abilities to power it up.
 * Prototype Staff: A type of staff used by Ainz for physical attacks. It was a weapon he had made as a prototype in YGGDRASIL, but which had ended up unused until fighting the Martial Lord. Since it was something he had used a long time ago, it was not very strong. In addition, the prototype staff has an ability, where it can also send out flames emerging around the staff.
 * Stilettos: Upon looting Clementine's equipment right after her death, Ainz begins to wield four of this piercing weapons at the imperial arena. He has shown to utilize one of them skillfully against the martial lord before defeating him. There was also spells from Fluder enchanted into these weapons for Ainz to use.

Consumable Items

 * Horn of the Goblin General: When blown, summons a goblin troop which consists of twelve goblin soldiers, two goblin archers, one goblin mage, one goblin cleric, two goblin wolf riders, and one goblin leader. He gave away a pair of this item to Enri for the sake of protection she can use to defend herself.
 * Minor Healing Potion: For an undead creature, a healing potion is lethal poison, however, Ainz keeps them in reserve for emergencies.
 * Resurrection Wand: This magic item is able to fully restore a dead target back to life.
 * Cash Shop Items

Trivia

 * Because of going for the Overlord race class, he had to take a bit of an RPG approach to the game by focusing on classes and skills that was specifically involved with death magic. This meant as he didn't focus on pure combat magic as much as other Magic Casters, he was actually weaker than other magic caster in actual combat. Ainz was compared to other players actually in the lower ranking or at best medium ranked in power among the upper tier magic casters. Due to having on all purely divine equipment, Ainz was seen as a lot stronger and was much higher in ranking then he otherwise would have been. His skill as a player aside, Ainz’s character could only be considered to be in the upper portion of the middle tier of all players.
 * Since Momonga used the special ability of a magic item, he could wear rings on his entire hand and use all their abilities as well. He was not only considered special in YGGDRASIL, he was known as one of the best ability users on the server.
 * Although its effects weren't to this extent in YGGDRASIL, one of Ainz's special skills The Goal of All Life is Death used in the New World was proven to be more effective. Thus, the air that was devoid of life died and turned the 200 meter area into a space where breathing air became impossible as well as the land dying too. At the same time, the terrains surrounding Ainz was also instantly turned into a desert. If there had been a person within that area who needed to breathe in order to live, the dead air would have contaminated the lungs and ended its life. It was also the reason why even inanimate objects like the air and land had died. In the new world, it was much more clearly pronounced in the form of granting ‘Death’ to all equally.
 * Unlike YGGDRASIL but in the New World, Ainz can summon a permanent undead through the use of a corpse or any parts from its body alone. However, this doesn't seem to work with a spell like Iä Shub-Niggurath, which uses the living as sacrifices for summoning Dark Young temporarily.
