An advantage, merit or virtue is sth that a person, thing, plan or action has as a quality, which may be of use or benefit to you or to sb else. An advantage makes the person, thing, etc. better than sb/sth else.

Merits is usually used in the plural to talk about all sb/sth's good qualities taken together.
