The Neo Angel Gabriel is very different from his previous form because he activated the Goddess Fragment. He could create conjures of light to shield any attacks while his actual body is tougher than the light shields that he could create. The only thing that he could be described as weak at is the fact that he does not have powerful attacks.
The Angel of Patience Gabriel back when he was not recreated by the Goddess of Light Luminaria had the ability to use a sword to deal damage. The Angel of Patience Gabriel now no longer has the ability to wield any other weapon that his towering shields. Still, his strength that amplifies when he is in battle is still real.
