How much prior knowledge? Like, they know that the other have x power or how x power work (the gimmick)?

Yes.

 

[Expectro2000xxx]

Yes.

You didn't answered my question, they know that the other have x power or how x power work (the gimmick)?

You didn't answered my question, they know that the other have x power or how x power work (the gimmick)?

Yes. They are suppose to.

 

[Expectro2000xxx]

Yes. They are suppose to.

They know that the other have x power?

OR

How x power work (the gimmick)?

Which one, because it's very different know that Y can make fire to know that Y can make fire when winking (weird example, I know, but the point should be transmited).

Both.

Then he know that touch them is bad, though the damage would still be reflected though since he know about it he would be careful when attacking and could think relatively quick in the strategy of mix weak attacks with powerful ones.

That said nothing prevent that Ghost separate from the main body and when near that the main body teleport to his position and that way touch him, or use Berserk to parasite him, or just decapitate.

He is extremely careful with regards to how he attacks but however he would likely kill them by with true samadhi fire which is superior to normal fire and demonic fire with potential to harm the soul.

Jiang Zi Ya would also spam teleport and probably use his barriers and attack with it.

With the fire resistance of Legion from what I remember they can be near the fire ghost Levia who is hotter than magma and can turn sand in glass. Iirc the own combustion of Baba Yaga in Origin was able to turn to ashes metal or something like that, could be wrong though since it was sometime ago that I readed the scene, but even in that case the fact that the heat was big was made clear. About the soul part with Composite Soul they should also have higher soul resistance than normal beings and in Death Mage the characters can receive some damage to the soul before it actually turn in serious/fatal damage so they should be able to resist for a while even if they ended covered in the fire for a long time, and if the thing actually give big damage they probably would be able to reflect it back to his vitality. And I honestly don't remember if they possess the Familiar Spirit Demonfall, if they have it then a spirit clone of Vandalieu would directly tank all the soul damage.

Would he spam teleportation? In the fight with Natsu I don't remember it was said that, in principle if he see that they can't close the distance because of his attacks then he would have a reason to teleport which would give a chance to Ghost to close the distance, though if he indeed end teleportating around then they could more or less counter with their own teleport if they disperse many flesh parts or if there are around living beings near death (be it because old age, sickness or even the damage from the battle).

Jiang Zi Ya's true samadhi fire was very potent to the point where when he destroyed a demon's soul, the soul that was destroyed was not able to be recreated by outside forces until a spell which required more than 600 souls was used.

The thing is Jiang Zi Ya could literally damage his opponents using his barriers, so if they got too close, he would just use his barriers to damage them.

That... don't say absolutely anything about how potent heat wise is the fire, that's just a mention of the sould potency.

Because the barriers are made from fire no? He would cover completely in a fire barrier if he see the attacks only coming from the front? And wouldn't cover themselves if fire help to pass the fire?

Think I'm gonna wait for DontTalk to her his opinion about the sould part, specially to clarify if Legion has Familiar Spirit Demonfall, in principle I think that's the case since basically everyone with the divine protection of Vandalieu have it but just to confirm.

Destroy the demon soul after burning the demon right? As in, does it even circumvent durability without destroying the physical body first?

In any case, prior knowledge goes both ways and Legion can split into countless people. He wouldn't even know in which part the soul is. And the other parts will just regenerate.
Attacking random parts is kinda bad for him anyway, cause damage reflection. (and due to Legion's high Vitality the damage reflected is more than is inflicted on them) In case of ranged attacks circumventing the damage reflection is a lot more difficult... especially in a speed equal match.

It should also be said that due to Legion's magic resistance most stuff doesn't really have its full effect against them.

Legion would also send its Yomotsushikome and Yomotsuikusa army against him as, essentially, suicide bombers. Or maybe turn some of them into surprise undead.

It damages the body and soul at the same time.

Jiang Zi Ya could toss his characterless book of heaven above Legion which would prevent him from attempting to split off and surround Jiang Zi Ya due to a barrier.

I see, but it won't be that big of an issue.

Jiang Zi Ya could use his Nuwa stone and just bulldoze through both armies.

Source? In any case, it would still not take them down instantly. Both because souls have vitality and since in death mage spirit form protects the main soul. Even Vandalieu needs multiple soul damaging attacks to take down people at this level. And, as said, that is if he can even hit the actual body with the soul.

Jiang Zi Ya could toss his characterless book of heaven above Legion which would prevent him from attempting to split off and surround Jiang Zi Ya due to a barrier.

I have doubts that it could hold them... and that he could do it before they split. As said, prior knowledge applies to Legion too, so they are prepared for it.

Not that it would matter as they can just teleport out.

Any killed being can just be resurrected (for that their soul doesn't even matter, just their body does). Also... them being killed is actually part of what Legion wants. They are fodder made to be slaughtered, as any remaining dead body parts can be made to explode. It's the equivalent of covering the battlefield in landmines.
Best case he slaughters one of them in close combat and gets covered in guts. Then Legion can just make the guts on his body explode for a 0 distance attack.
