Because it's not powernull, it stuns them, preventing them from taking any actions to attack or defend themselves, even thought based abilities that basically every Apparition in Sekiro has they're unable to use while under the effects of Malcontent.
Your basically saying it would stop them from even thinking which means the characters would fall over and become full on frozen. But if they just drop to their needs or enter a dazed state then that doesn't prove they can't think. Could you show a clip of an enemy stunned? I can just check the game out myself if your busy.
And again, what stops him from just redirecting or absorbing the energy blasts with the lilac shield before they hit him, or just dodging them outright? Wolf has a lot of mobility options and dodging attacks is kinda half his fighting style. And he has multiple forms of straight up teleportation.
I never said he couldn't I'm explaining why he'd get vaporized if he got hit which you tried to say wouldn't happen because of AP and heat resistance. Since you didn't counter my point on molecular destruction I'll take that as a no. I never said he couldn't dodge or other stuff so you're point is moot.
Also while he can dodge Danny's punches with ease due to skill, he can't dodge ghost rays as they are lightspeed and since the speed page states only the combat speed of faster character is equalized to the slower character and then other abilities are reduces by the same multiplier...
"The combat speed of that faster character is assumed to be equalized to the combat speed of the slower character. Every other speed the faster character has is reduced by the same multiplier. This includes the speed of any attacks, projectiles, reactions, perception, flight etc."
Wolf is Massively Hypersonic in the key for reacting to natural lightning which going off
our page is (Mach 1282.798834), meanwhile, Danny is Sub-Relativistic+ (Mach 86046.32) which is a 67.0770176269x reduction in Danny's speed. Now applying that multiplier reduction to his ghost ray which are accepted as lightspeed, meaning Danny's ghost rays are still 10.1576685674x faster than Wolf which is enough to blitz iirc so Wolf isn't going to be able to react in time if Danny uses those which is one of his attacking methods even at close range.
...It kills him
though im still not sure how Terror damage killing him isnt mind destruction
That's not how it works. The poison effects both the body and mind but his body isn't physically obliterated so why would we assume his mind was destroyed? That's illogical Someone casing you enough mental pain to kill you doesn't mean the destroyed your mind (unless stated), just that the damage was enough to kill you.
Also not sure why its assumed that his energy attacks destroy minds when normal people in the show regularly get hit by ghost energy attacks and dont get instantly lobotomized via mind destruction
You seriously want to use that argument? You've said in your own words you've seen a good chunk of Danny Phantom but your using the "normal people" argument?
We've seen these "normal people"
perform superhuman feats and match ghosts who also preform superhuman feats in combat. Said regular characters who do withstand ghost attacks are the same characters who've shown resistance to things that seriously effect the actual normal people. Not everyone regularly takes ghost attacks, is false. Those who do (Jack, Maddie, Sam, Tucker, and Valerie) are literal superhuman though their own feats and scaling.
Two examples, In "Reality Trip", we see that when you touch the reality gems they generate heat
which burned a boys hand and also burned the hands of other teens, yet Sam and Tucker, two other "normal humans"
touch them them and have no such reaction and act as if nothing is happening... hell the energy is around their entire body yet they are unfazed despite ectoplasmic energy consistently giving off
intense heat through the series, Maddie also survived the
intense heat from the specter deflector despite it being hit enough to give off steam. You can also check out the "Docters Disorders" where a ghost bug bites a bunch of students yet while majority get sick from the ghost infection, the likes of Sam and a few other are uneffected by the sickness and simply gained a few ghost powers, so they clearly have resistance other normal humans don't possess.
The normal human argument is poor and shouldn't be used as it's shown in series and accepted on this wiki that they aren't "normal humans", and not every human even regularly tanks these attacks, just the few humans that do get it and most other characters don't even get hit so saying normal humans regularly survive said attacks is false.
Also, until Wolf is updated I'm not going to debate further on who'd win, I've pretty much said all I needed to.
