Top 15 Strongest Characters for Every Tier

Which is why it's better to try and keep things short and simple. So can we agree on this or not?
You are only arguing for Shiro Chi, correct? Layers won't matter if she can't hit that attack. Moreover, that attack seems to only have CM1 and IM2? The thing is, to pass through the barrier, you will need to counter all of this at the same time (except for magic, ofc)

That is all encompassed by Ontology, which all Paracausal powers are encompassed by, this is on the profiles (it's what the CM1 on them is)
If you want the specific thread, here it is
The reason why it's listed as non-combat applicable on the profiles is because it's a mechanic, not something they can typically use, but it will still allow them to just, say no to the barrier

I don't see Law Manipulation or Reality Warping there, I was already aware of the CM1 and IM2 and was asking about other things that the barrier is

The Nine as easy example that covers both
Subjective Reality, Reality Warping, Law Manipulation, Information Manipulation and Conceptual Manipulation (Type 2) (The Nine Realms are an ontological space where the Nine control reality and the laws that govern it. This space can create an ontological effect to create a world with its own principles, such as a lack of death[5][7])
Or a Warlock
Reality Warping and Law Manipulation (Every demiurge of every race, is a ruler maker, which changes reality to their power/will.[50] Lightbearers regularly warp reality to suit their needs[51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58])
Or Oryx, but like, the list goes on
 
I propose Gan from The Dark Tower for position 4. The Unwritten Leviathan scales to infinite layers in High 1-A, but Gan scales to infinite layers into Meta-Meta-Meta-Meta Qualitative Superiority.

I propose Maria (Umineko) for the eighth spot, since mainline Marvel is only High 1-A baseline, whereas Maria is 2 layers into Meta High 1-A.

There should be a separation between normal Marvel and DeMatteis Marvel ngl.
 
I don't see how it affects Shiro though, it specifically lists that they get LW and RW not from the nature of ontology, but straight feats of these powers
Ignoring the fact that Ontology by definition has to include reality (it is literally the study of what reality/being is)

Ontological Powers such as Light and Darkness can make things real or unreal by simply wishing it were the case, or hell, Darkness literally separates what is and what isn't by simply existing
Meanwhile, there are a bunch of Law things, such as The Daughters of Oryx killing the axioms of the ascendant plane, Auryx, fresh out of gettiing Darkness powers literally can warp the laws of reality with his will, and Ninespace, which is ontological in nature, being free to alter down to its laws, and Light and Darkness (which are ontological in power and nature) are laws superordinate to the rest

And they don't even need it to be under the nature of ontology, when the simple fact that if all the uses of it encompass such things, then it's going to be able to mess with powers that use it

Cool and all, but you still didn't prove that all users are capable of LM by default. Maybe it's my brain at 2 a.m., but I don't find this fully convincing to grant these to everyone, you can make a CRT updating the nature of ontology though

Hell, why am I even arguing this, if my main point was that the attack is easily dodgable

It's quite literally on every single paracausal user's page, it doesn't make a difference either way

It's a blank AoE, if she gets out of range she can't attack, if she gets in range to attack, she gets hit with the taken virus and loses on the spot

She an awoken, This means she naturally possesses Law Manipulation and Reality Warping. She also taken to

Eh, as long as you don't try #2 on for size it'll be fine.

If you do... Good luck.

She has it in her second key, but this attack appears in the first. Does this mean that this attack is separate from her LM?

You are yet to specify this virus, not the first time I ask this
 
You mean try to take spot 2 for H6B? Not planning that. Shion doesn't even have anything smurf
TBH I think some of the non-smurf High 6-Bs for WHF could stomp her lol

Admittedly Tyrion doesn't have a profile yet but the Sword of Khaine is crack.
 
You are yet to specify this virus, not the first time I ask this
Just gonna quote the page
Corruption, Power Bestowal, Healing, Reality Warping, Law Manipulation, Mathematics Manipulation, Information Manipulation (Type 2), Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1), Existence Erasure, Void Manipulation, Matter Manipulation, Space-Time Manipulation, Causality Manipulation, Mind Manipulation and Possession
 
What page are you even quoting? As I'm pretty sure she doesn't have that sequence of abilities, especially considering that Shuro doesn't have Causality, like at all
they have a Verse-specific ability.

Quria, because its definition of taking is better defined than the one Shuro has, but it doesn't change the powers
 
the bottom of swords logic page
they have a Verse-specific ability.
The only thing I see there is this
The power to Take when used by Oryx included abilities such as Corruption, Law Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation, Reality Warping, Existence Erasure, Mind Manipulation, Body Puppetry and Possession, though other users are not known to have been able to use the power as efficiently as Oryx and The Darkness can.
Which doesn't really account for anything
 
Quria, because its definition of taking is better defined than the one Shuro has, but it doesn't change the powers
Which is kinda wrong? You literally say that the more powerful the character, the more abilities they have and scaling a H6B from a L2C honestly even sounds wrong

Taking is the same for all characters; it's the same power as to Take is to turn someone into a Taken who spreads the Taken Blight which Takes people
 
So people, I'm going to sleep for a while. I only have Non-standart breathing type 3 and not Self-sustenance type 3, I still need to sleep, it's past 3 a.m. already
 
Read the entire page.
The bottom of the page refers to the Taking itself. Which is how it convert,s including those abilities that you listed ther,e into his
I read the whole that section, the only scaling it provides is to 2 characters and a mention that everyone else won't get the same abilities
Taking is the same for all characters; it's the same power as to Take is to turn someone into a Taken who spreads the Taken Blight which Takes people
Then why for Shuro it's listed as CM( combat unapplicable, type 2 otherwise) and for Quria it's just CM1 which doesn't make sense, as you list usage of darkness as unapplicable CM1, so is Shuro's profile actually more up-to-date?

Also, what's the range for it?
 
I haven't read the other comments here FYI.

You are only arguing for Shiro Chi, correct? Layers won't matter if she can't hit that attack. Moreover, that attack seems to only have CM1 and IM2? The thing is, to pass through the barrier, you will need to counter all of this at the same time (except for magic, ofc)

Shuro Chi can continuously keep casting Obliteration, she can teleport too, and she has better range than Shion. If anything, it's Shion who isn't getting the chance to hit her.

She can't block CM and IM with that amount of layers without feats.

Not that proficient in English, so can you tell what FYI means? A general question

1) Shuro needs to chant to use obliteration, so there is a delay for action. And she also can't teleport due to this
Spatial Manipulation, Dimensional Travel Negation & Teleportation Negation, Spatial Manipulation Negation (Via Spatial Domination, can interfere with space and block space travel abilities[5], as well as counter spatial attacks[6])
2) Shion has insane RE and AD. If the fight goes on for even 5 minutes, Shion gets her US and slams. Prolonging works against her

She can't block CM and IM with that amount of layers without feats.
The barrier is made by all of this in tandem, moreover, in Tensura LM has the same potency as CM1, so it's you who needs to prove that it can bypass it

1) She'll just get hit the first time. She doesn't know what the chant is for nor how dangerous it is and I know she isn't the type to just teleport away as soon as there's an unknown. She's the simple minded, brute force type of character. You can bring up Instinctive Action/Optimal Action again, but you never really addressed the NLF point nor the complete description of Optimal Action, which really wasn't that impressive. I've also looked into her fight with Razul where she did in fact not immediately take the best course of action and only later in the fight came up with the rather simple strategy of "keep hitting him in the same spot until I break through".

Also she resists Space-Time Manipulation and Power null, so teleportation will work.​

2) She gets a thing that isn't present on her page at all?

So the Law Manipulation is equal to CM with less layers than what Shuro Chi has.
 
which updates?

This one:

I propose Gan from The Dark Tower for position 4. The Unwritten Leviathan scales to infinite layers in High 1-A, but Gan scales to infinite layers into Meta-Meta-Meta-Meta Qualitative Superiority.

I propose Maria (Umineko) for the eighth spot, since mainline Marvel is only High 1-A baseline, whereas Maria is 2 layers into Meta High 1-A.
 
ctr for gan cause i do not reall the cosmology that high and marvel is getting revised again High 1A for marvel might get upgraded.

Check his profile


(Probably massively glazed but hey, it got accepted)

At least add my goat Maria.
 
1) She'll just get hit the first time. She doesn't know what the chant is for nor how dangerous it is and I know she isn't the type to just teleport away as soon as there's an unknown.
What makes you think she wouldn't know how powerful it is? It utilizes principles that are very similar to that of Tensura, and with the amount of layers there's no way she won't feel threatened and teleport from it
She's the simple minded, brute force type of character.
If we were to talk about her first key, I would agree here, but after her fight with Razul she started to think more about tactical advantages and disadvantages and had a general improvement in behavior
You can bring up Instinctive Action/Optimal Action again, but you never really addressed the NLF point
NLF instincts? Say that to Re:Zero fans with Reinhard. At least I only say that towards immediate threats
nor the complete description of Optimal Action, which really wasn't that impressive.
Yeah, sorry about that, it's not due to Optimal action. Just in the TL I was reading, her intuition had a very similar description to OA, so I just fused them to one. They are separate
also looked into her fight with Razul where she did in fact not immediately take the best course of action and only later in the fight came up with the rather simple strategy of "keep hitting him in the same spot until I break through".
1) The best course of action was not to "hit until it works", the best course of action was to 'prolong as much as possible' which she did. Even if she kept hitting it, it wouldn't have done anything if not for evolution. And after it, she managed to leave a crack in his exoskeleton even without hitting that spot
2) We don't know when she started hitting this spot. Yeah that fact appears only in the last part, but we don't have Shion's POV at all until then. That tactic was mentioned without a timeframe when it appeared. It could very well be from the start
3) All her feats and statements about intuition happened after the fight with Razul. It is said that during it her consciousness evolved and she also lost the 'berserk' side of her skill, so this whole point doesn't prove anything
Also she resists Space-Time Manipulation and Power null, so teleportation will work.​
Resistance to Power Null doesn't work, as that negation is an indirect effect. That ability works on people who passively bend, distort and rip Spacetime with their presence, so that also doesn't work
2) She gets a thing that isn't present on her page at all?
Both verses' profiles aren't up-to-date and we generally allow you to mention things that aren't there yet, just like with Quria. It's also not like I'm assigning any specific abilities to it (of which there are a lot) the general things mentioned in the Ultimate Skill section are enough already
So the Law Manipulation is equal to CM with less layers than what Shuro Chi has.
We don't assume that CM1 can bypass LM by default. This argument about verse mechanics was to not bother with things like "ooh, that LM is probably some minor thingy".
It still doesn't pass
 
OK, willpower as in raw stats? Nah sword logic is not raw stats (otherwise Oryx couldn’t beat Akka with it or us to kill Hive Gods), also, go to thread
And that's the problem, we don't know how it does in cross-verse. There actually is the very similar system in tensura, where a person with a higher willpower can without questions affect the person with a lower one. However, there we do not go with "unquantifiable" but rather scale by actual feats
Actually I found a guy who tried to scale the layers based on this mechanic. He went off with the total amount of Unique skills mentioned, which is viable, but still gives less than should be. So it goes as high as 81 and that's just the Unique. Not trying to bring it in as an argument, but just a general thing I wanted to mention
