As the Senshi of the "Forbidden Star", Sailorsaturn is quite powerful. It is a shame that she is generally absent from the anime, even though she is an important plot point. Still, here are the various attacks she uses throughout the manga and anime. All of her attacks utilize the weapon she carries called the Silence Glaive.
“Death Reborn Revolution” is a powerful attack that Sailorsaturn uses against Pharaoh 90 in the Death Busters arc. She lifts her glaive and several ribbons shot out of it and drain the energy of the evil entity. Unlike the attacks of the other Senshi, this attack is able to hurt the creature instead of feeding it. This attack is separate from her maneuver that destroys the world, particularly because there is dialogue between this attack and lowering the glaive (which is said to be what will ruin the world), and the ribbons from the attack are gone by the time the she lowers the glaive (suggesting that this is not a multipart attack). Ian Andreas Miller wrote a compressive article on this issue. This attack is present only in the manga.
Saturn has the power to destroy an entire planet by lowering the Silence Glaive in both the manga and the anime. Still, the only time she is shown doing this is in the manga, once at the fall of the Silver Millennium and once to defeat the Death Busters. The final anime battle takes place in a cloud of darkness so it is unclear whether she attempted to lower her glaive or not. The manga clearly states that the cost of the maneuver is her life, though the anime suggests the same idea.
“Silence Wall” is an attack Supersaturn uses in the manga and Saturn uses in the anime. The maneuver is defensive and creates a barrier of protection around Saturn and those close to her. In the manga, she uses it to protect herself and Chibi Usa from the Amazon Quartet.
“Silence Glaive Surprise” is an attack that Supersaturn uses in the same battle as Silence Wall. The attack uses the Glaive and sends out jets of dark-colored power, but the actual effect of the attack is unclear in both the anime and the manga. In the anime, Chibimoon stops her from completing the attack, apparently because it is too powerful. In the manga it has no apparent effect, but that might be because Saturn is trying not to hurt the women who will one day be fellow Senshi.
“Galactica Glaive Surprise” is a powerful attack Saturn uses against Eternal Sailormoon and Super Sailorchibimoon while she is under the influence of Galaxia. The attack consists of a powerful blast of energy erupting from the end of the Glaive, but the effect of the attack is unclear since it is blocked by Sailorchibichibi. Like all of the “evil” attacks, this occurs only in the manga.
Pluto and Saturn united in an evil attack in which they call on the power of their Garnet Orb and Silence Glaive (respectively) and call out “Galactica Cannon!” The effect is very powerful and knocks out Sailorchibichibi.
All of the evil Senshi unite in an attack called “Galactica Planet Attack.” Although it is a very powerful combination of eight Senshi attacking together, it does not defeat Eternal Sailormoon.
