Gilius Thunderhead sacrifices magic strength for combat prowess. He is the strongest fighter, and the favoured character of many experienced players. His dash attack is fairly decent. His special attack is a spin attack that hits enemies on both sides. For some reason Gilius deals '''double''' damage against other characters when playing [[Golden Axe II/The Duel|The Duel]] in two-player mode. | Gilius Thunderhead sacrifices magic strength for combat prowess.

'''Combo:''' Gilius's combo has the longest reach in the game. However, compared to the first game, the reach of his combo has been greatly reduced. Furthermore, his combo is slightly slower to hit than the other characters. | |||
'''Jump attack:''' Gilius's jump attack has the same reach as the other characters, but it is the quickest to hit. | |||
'''High jump attack:''' Gilius high jumps the same height as Ax Battler. There are no differences between the attack itself between the characters. | |||
'''Special attack:''' Gilius's special attack is extremely effective. It should be primarily used as a back attack; it has excellent reach in both directions, has excellent priority and deceptive quickness when attacking behind him, and even possesses frames of invincibility, allowing Gilius to outprioritize most enemy and boss attacks. | |||
'''Dash attack:''' His dash attack has less reach and priority than Tyris, but has better recovery, allowing him to handle multiple enemies better. | |||
'''Throw:''' He has the shortest throw distance in the game. | |||
'''Overall:''' Gilius's special attack is game-breakingly good, akin to the elbow attack in the original arcade Double Dragon. He has the weakest magic, but can cast the most level 1 spells, which means that he can use magic more often for crowd-clearing purposes to get out of sticky situations (rather than to use it for damage). However, even when surrounded, his magic is often unnecessary due to his excellent special attack. Gilius is easily the best character in the game. | |||
