Weakness to all forms of physical damage (blunt, cutting, piercing)? (I imagine Gold is a long-range color.)
Immunity to corrosion (including radiation)?

-Weakness:
Blunt physical damage. Gold itself is
extremely malleable. Wiki: 1 gram can be beaten into a square metre, or thin enough to become transparent. o.o
Electricity: Only silver and copper are more conductive.
Heat: same as electricity.
Weight. This is debatable, but gold is so heavy, only lead and osmium are heavier. In a duel avatar, this works out quite badly because your amour can't withstand physical strikes even though it's so heavy.
Strengths:
-Acid/poison attacks won't work. Gold only dissolves in royal water, mixture of
concentrated nitric and hydrochloric acid. Regular attacks aren't getting through.
-corrosion attacks are ineffective as well, gold is extremely unreactive.
-Infrared radiation bounces right off. So in theory, microwave attacks and lasers should be ineffective.
