Techniques

 * Durbal uses his cosmo to attack creating shock waves of great destructive power, capable of hitting the target from great distances. According to Pegasus Seiya, the waves move faster than the Gold Saints can, which means the waves are able to move faster than light, but this may be just how Seiya perceived them.
