Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Note: Drole seemed to possess the Demon Clan's Power of Darkness while a member of the Ten Commandments, forming helicopter-like wings for flight. However, he never again demonstrated darkness manipulation and pointedly did not use demonic regeneration in combat, making it likely he either doesn't have the full powerset or the author only decided later to make him a giant instead of a demon.
Magical Eye: Drole can determine his opponent's strength and read their mind just by looking at them. According to Meliodas, for most people forming plans is useless against Drole because he can simply read the plan in his opponent's mind. Balor's Magical Eye was named after his alias.
Soul Extraction and Absorption: Drole can extract souls and absorb them to restore his magic power as well as gain the knowledge of his victim. He regained his magic power through this method after being released from the Coffin of Eternal Darkness. When a soul is eaten it is completely destroyed, removing the victim from the cycle of reincarnation.
Commandment
Patience: Anyone who shows intolerance of pain will be inflicted with further pain.
Abilities
Ground: Drole possesses the same abilities Giant Clan members with the Creation power have, and it is unknown how his power differs from theirs. However, it is stated that Drole founded the Giant Clan. His power gives him a deep connection with nature and allows him to manipulate the earth in a variety of ways, such as slamming massive pillars of earth into opponents from below. He incorporates his power with dance, and can use dancing to cancel other giants' Creation abilities.
- Divining Bowl Technique: Drole summons a large number of levitating platforms made of earth from the ground, which assemble themselves randomly. Drole used this technique to separate a crowd of tournament participants into pairs, which he says were selected by fate.
- Drole Golem: Drole creates an earth golem with his appearance. He can increase the strength of the golem by channeling magic into it. The golem's full power was significantly higher than True Spirit Spear King's.
- Dance of Drole: Drole can increase his power by performing a dance that increases his connection to nature and gathers a huge amount of earth magic. Drole can also use his dancing to nullify others' earth magic. Over millennia the Dance of Drole has become a legendary, sacred dance among the Giant Clan.
- Gaia Form: Drole forms an earth armor, but Zeldris sealed his magic power before the effects of the technique could be seen.
- Giga Crush: Drole levitates many large chunks of earth and sends them flying at his target, smashing into them and driving them into the air. Once his target is in the air, the rocks briefly levitate above them before Drole activates Giga Fall.
- Giga Fall: Drole sends his levitating chunks of earth crashing downward onto his opponent, sending them smashing into the ground and creating a powerful earthquake that shook Liones Castle from Vaizel, 40 miles away.
- Giga Lock: Drole creates several massive earth hands that rise up directly under his opponent, grabbing and imprisoning them. The hands were large enough to surround Calmadios, who is of a similar size as Drole.
- Giga Pick: Drole raises a large point of earth, similar in appearance to diamond, from directly under his opponent to impale them.
- Gigant Gauntlet: Drole clasps his hands together then outstretches his arms to summon two giant stone hands from the earth.
- Gigant Embrace: Drole whirls his hands in a circular motion then clasps them together. The stone hands made by Gigant Gauntlet clasp together and trap any targets between them. Drole can then lower the hands beneath the earth, trapping the targets in his prison.
- Heavy Metal: Drole converts his entire body into metal. It is said he can make himself as hard as diamond. His metal is strong enough to defend against purgatory fire, which is superior to natural fire, shown when it burned down the Fairy King's Forest despite the Forest being immune to natural fire.
- Labyrinth: Drole constructed a massive labyrinth with a radius of 8 miles. The labyrinth walls are regenerating and require a large amount of force to break in the first place. The labyrinth has a huge number of death traps hidden within it, from spike pits to powerful creatures like Earth Crawlers. The labyrinth walls automatically extend to prevent those trapped inside from jumping out of the top.
Time Regression Spell: A Goddess Clan spell taught to Drole in the past that allows him to send someone's soul back into his past to live through his actions and possibly act differently. It is stated that the alternate history is not an illusion, it is a real world that can potentially trap the target inside it should they fail to make a different decision. According to Gloxinia, there is a force working to correct time that will return the target to the proper timeline when they make the correct choice.
