Hello, this thread focuses on the Primordial Void of shadow fight, which is the starting point of creation. I'll try to provide as much context as possible.
In shadow fight 2, Tenebris (the void's avatar) describes the void as the emptiness in which worlds are born. Establishing the fact that it lacks any dimensional feature / physicality.
The portal -
It’s basically just a hole is reality, through which the void is peeking through. As Tenebris explained, it’s just complete emptiness beyond the portal. It is also where Tenebris vs Shadow takes place. The portal exists at the end of underworld (edge of reality), when shadow and sensei got somewhat close to the portal, sensei warns shadow of universal laws ceasing to exist (not just in the void, but also near the void), this would mean the void houses it's own abstract laws, just like how a conceptual domain should.
In shadow fight 3, we get some more context on the void.
The void is described as a place where anything is possible. It has been called "Nothing" in many translations (the game devs are Russian)
The void is much “vaster” than the universe (space time), a requirement for beyond dimensional existence (type 2).
The void children (a.k.a the ancients) can leave their universes and step into the void / emptiness beyond it, only they can survive it's existence erasure, if any regular character were to enter it, they would instantly get erased. The void children can go anywhere in the multiverse as worlds and times are open to them, they can go to the past and future + anywhere in the 2-A multiverse. But even these characters find it impossible to travel from one side to the other in the void without the infinity beacon, just because of how vast the void is. The 2-A multiverse itself would be a small object encompassed in such a backdrop.
The multiverse / Universes die and be reborn over and over in a spiral, but the void is eternal, detached from the multiverse and everything in it.
Energy of the void can erase matter and turn them into nothingness, just like how the void's Infinity is said to devour anything that enters it.
Another key fact - From the void's perspective, time isn't really a thing, as the past, present and the future happen simultaneously from it's view (the void room is but a small part of the void)
Stranger, the probability of existence from void room, is beyond time, can be used to prove void's atemporal nature.
The developers have mentioned the void to be incomprehensible and work according to it's own rules, this establishes a very strong superiority for the void over physical reality. Here's the english version of the article.
The portal was also once mentioned as something that cannot be comprehended by mortals in a story description.

Quoting Tiering System FAQ (What is qualitative superiority) -
The developers might have not directly stated it, but what they mean is; The Void is ontologically superior to the verse, where everything is possible, it is the largest entity in the verse with no limit / boundaries, using the in-game evidences for support, the void would fit in for a 1-A rating. There are more context for the void, but I guess this is enough for the upgrade.
So, how would this affect the verse?
These three characters get scaled to the void
1) Architect (the writer) - As per this thread, architect's 2-B, likely 2-A scaling is based off the void. With this 1-A void upgrade, Architect's 2-B /2-A tiers should be replaced with 1-A
Conslusion - At least Low 2-C, possibly Higher physically. 1-A with Plot Manipulation and Data Manipulation
2) Shadow (the protagonist) & Sensei - Following tenebris' defeat, the player is presented with two options, wheather to turn back (as tenebris advised) or enter the portal. When shadow decides to turn back, the portal (the void) blesses them with its own power, the power to mold and shape reality, to create anew. The void becomes their direct source of power. This will be given a separate key of its own since turn back option is regarded as non canon for the main story line.
Conclusion - Low 2-C | Low 2-C, 1-A with the Portal's power
3) Tenebris (Void's avatar) - Has the portal's power, similar to shadow.
Conclusion - At least Low 2-C, possibly Higher. 1-A with the Portal's power

even characters and realms with Type 1 Beyond-Dimensional Existence are "beyond" the bounds of dimension (In the sense they're inherently outside of dimensional space). More evidence would be needed to demonstrate superiority, overall, like being described/shown as dwarfing dimensioned things, for example.
The void isn't just aspatial and atemporal with great raw power. it outright dwarfs the entire multiverse with it's non composite existence (as a void of nothingness). Exerting superiority in that sense.Type 2 BDE is and has always been about characters who lack spatiotemporal features being superior to them in ontology. Not just characters who lack spacetime and also have the raw power to blow up spacetime.
Quoting Beyond-Dimensional Existence page -
The void's composition is different from physical reality (emptiness / non composite) + It is much vaster / superior compared to physical reality + Is non dimensional in state + Is the highest point in the verse (Incomprehensible / Unimaginable to physical reality)As a default, statements of being "above dimensions" are set at Low 1-A, and the same is applied to statements indicating superiority over "All of space and time," and similar. However, if they are applied to realms that can be inferred to surpass the very composition of the lower reality (e.g. Realms that are, themselves, non-composite, such as conceptual domains, or often, voids of nothingness), then 1-A is the most appropriate rating for them.
Furthermore, keep in mind that Type 2 Beyond-Dimensional Existence (In particular the latter variant) is not simply a combination of a non-dimensional state of existence and greater raw power than all dimensional structures in a cosmology – Though that is a necessary condition to qualify for it, it is not a sufficient one. Instead, the non-dimensional state of existence must be the direct cause of the character/realm's superiority over dimensions. A simple example being voids of nothingness that lack space, time and physicality entirely, but are nonetheless "vaster" than physical reality in some way, with common imagery being the universe as a small object encompassed in such a backdrop.
Quoting Tiering System FAQ (What is qualitative superiority) -
This inaccessibility possessed by qualitatively superior characters and realms can also be expressed in terms of sheer ontology, generally speaking. That is to say: They are fundamentally different from the nature of the lower reality, and this different nature is precisely the source of their superiority over it. Since their "otherness" is identical to their transcendence, no expansion or extension of the lower reality and anything in it can possibly attain to them, as long as it maintains its particular nature. Put it simply: They are as powerful as they are alien.
