Erlang Shen is mostly portrayed, whether in ancient legends or games or television, as a noble and powerful Warrior God who slays and vanquishes Demons and Monsters in the mortal realm and who embodies justice and righteousness. He is shown to have vast, superhuman strength, being able to cleave an entire mountain with his axe to save his mother in just one stroke and being capable of 72 Transformations(sometimes said to be 73 Transformations), meaning he can transform into virtually anything he wants.
His main weapon of choice is his "three-pointed, double-edged Lance" (三尖兩刃槍), a long three-pointed Spear with two cutting edges of a Saber. This Spear is powerful enough to penetrate and cleave through steel and stone like wool. Erlang wields the Lance with unmatched skill and superior mastery, being an unstoppable force of destruction in battle when wielding said Lance, and has slain countless Gods and massive armies of Demons with it. He is almost always accompanied by his faithful 'Howling Celestial Dog' (嘯天犬), which has the ability to attack and subdue Demons and evil spirits.
Erlang Shen has also been portrayed as possessing a unique skill known as the "Nine Turns Divine Skill" (九轉玄功). It grants him vast, physical durability of undefined limits and nigh-invulnerability to conventional weapons and various magic spells. In the novel "Creation of the Gods", Erlang was shown to be completely impervious to hits from various powerful mystical objects due to this skill; he has emerged completely unscathed from mystical weapons and artifacts that have proven capable of severely injuring or even killing other Immortals.
Erlang Shen, as a God that embodies justice, can execute 'Heaven's Punishment, by calling down countless massive, devastating bolts of Holy Lightning to strike and totally disintegrate evil beings.
The third-eye on his forehead does not have a fixed name, though its most popular name currently is "The Eye of Heaven" (天眼). It has the ability to differentiate truth from lies and see through deceptions and disguises. It may be used as an offensive weapon, being able to fire continuous, highly destructive energy blasts of vast, incredible power.
The third-eye possesses enough power to utterly destroy and vaporize anything it hits, even powerful enough to shatter and disintegrate entire mountains, or completely erase hundreds of thousands of Demons from existence in one go, or even cripple and destroy Immortals that have supposedly 'indestructible' bodies.
Erlang Shen is a playable character in the RPG 'League of Immortals' (亂鬥西遊), an action-adventure game that combined RPG and MOBA gameplay. He is known as only 'Erlang' in the game and is of the Immortal Class（仙）, which is strong against the Devil Class（魔）.
The playable character 'Exiled God'（神將）from the Asian MMORPG 'Asura Online'（鬥戰神）is based on Erlang Shen, in appearance and skills. He is a melee fighter who mainly uses the Spear but can also use the Sword and Crossbow. While most of his skills involves deadly combos with his Spear, they include melee attacks with the Celestial Hound and ranged Power attacks with his Heavenly Eye.
In the
MOBA game
SMITE, he is a playable character featured as a melee warrior.
