Eli is competent with a weapon, as demonstrated in his missions alongside John Marston. Eli has also demonstrated competence in policing duties, being the one to spot the Bollard Twins Gang in Pike's Basin. He is also very strong, getting one of Bill Williamson's men to talk with just one punch to the chest.
