its really funny watching people struggle with AW's and angel durability scaling when the answer is that the exorcists are sinner level, they have limited invulnerability that would let them tank overlords and the like as long as no AW is involved, and because of that, although someone like AL cant actually bring pain to Adam, he can still be in a similar power range due to the fact that, once again, angels. have. invulnerability.
Adam WOULD HAVE gotten wreked by Alastors uppercut if it wasn't for the angelic resistance thing. WE SEE that Al is capable of downscaling Adam. WE SEE that Angel Dust can parry an exorcist and not get overpowered. Because they don't scale to overlords, the AW can just bypass that one resistance they have. Unless holding an angelic gun suddenly empowers sinners to planetary extents.
The only real anti-feats for the invulnerability I keep seeing are either caused to themselves, or straight up can just be PiS.
Ya'll are making so many problems for yourselves by not just giving them a damage resistance or something to that effect. It's one of the few things that gets said all the time, and actually shown too. I can believe that Lute is above an average exorcist, but none of them (obvs excluding Adam) should scale above sinners.
