Despite what Anubis tells its victims, it does not appear to improve their actual combat skill. Polnareff noted that Chaka wielded his sword like a complete amateur; conversely, part of Jotaro's difficulty in fighting Anubis was due to Polnareff's sword fighting experience, allowing him to wield his new sword in deadly tandem with Silver Chariot.
 
===Selective Intangibility===

As a cursed sword, Anubis has a unique technique where it can manipulate where it slices along its blade, passing through stones, walls, and even cows without leaving any damage on them.<ref name=":1" /><ref name="gogo">''[[JOJO A-GO!GO!]]'', p.40</ref> For instance, when Polnareff hid behind a stone column, Anubis was able to slash him without damaging the column or even his victim's clothes.<ref name=":2">{{Ch|Chapter 194}}</ref> It was also able to cut the hands of a person whom it didn't want to be drawn by, despite the fact that it was still sheathed in its scabbard.<ref name=":1" />

===Selective Drawing===
 
Anubis can choose who will draw it from its sheath - it is impossible to draw the sword until Anubis is being wielded by someone it wants to possess. Even 3 grown men pulling with all their might won't budge it in this case.<ref name=":1" /> This ability can apply to multiple hosts simultaneously, as seen when the Stand takes control of multiple rats,<ref name=":3" /> though whether this extends to humans is unknown. Additionally, it can move itself to a limited extent without a user, being able to sheathe itself after its user was defeated and cut another person while still embedded in a victim's chest.
