Yeah, but he doesn't use sleep darts, he just goes for the kill. Although, as I said, if he has knowledge of his opponent and his absorption via touch ability, then him going for ranged weaponry makes sense.For what its worth he did instantly bend time against these random guards (5:23)
Fair enough on this but Corvo has other methods of incap
Again, I am pretty sure a living virus constructed from a dead person that never sleeps or even gets tired is going to be able to fall unconscious. Or be affected by a chemical substance meant to induce such a state.
Well, the Dishonored 2 opening implies that maybe Corvo got harsher after 15 years.Corvo actually doesnt normally go for the kill in-canon, the only person he has ever canonically killed is Havelock
Corvo can possess corpses and zombies actuallyAgain, I am pretty sure a living virus constructed from a dead person that never sleeps or even gets tired is going to be able to fall unconscious. Or be affected by a chemical substance meant to induce such a state.
I think what I said about cutting Alex into pieces is a much better wincon.
It's not the idea that Alex can't be possessed that I have a problem with, although, physically merging your body and mind to another on a character which absorbs the biomass of that which he touches doesn't sound like the best idea ever, but I digress.Corvo can possess corpses and zombies actually
He was still conscious as a pile of goo, that doesn't mean that he can regenerate from that on his own.I mean he can still be conscious even with his head blown open.
Corvo reduces th things h kills to ash including things that can regnrate normallyHe was still conscious as a pile of goo, that doesn't mean that he can regenerate from that on his own.
But it's a possibility and likely a probability that he could, so I can't say if Corvo has a legitimate win condition here.
Gravehounds that can regen from their disembodied skullLike...
From what I can tell its .0056 tons scaling from destroying tanksMercers AP is an important factor here, does anyone now what it is
Also does biological resistance in mercers case grant resistance to tranquilizersAlex's physiology is way different than a human or animal's, really only sharing aesthetic similarities, so I doubt sleep dart is gonna work on him. Corvo could incap by just using time stop and pulping him with spring razors, explosive bolts and bullets, etc. Though I did see that Mercer can manipulate his density and make his matter comparable to hard, strong metal, so perhaps he could raise his durability with that?
A 6x gap is still a massive disadvantage mercer is at, Corvo defeated the .069 guy as well. most of these are unsuable as they have not been calcedAnd that AP difference is going to be made less significant with Mercer's Musclemass ability, which doubles his strength in all areas, thus the 12x AP advantage would get reduced to 6x AP advantage once that happens. Also, Mercer's AP is probably higher than just destroying M1 Abrams tanks as Mercer was shown to withstand explosions such as that one explosion that levelled an entire room and blasted him out of the building (with the flames from the explosion covering a notable range around the building he was in) and also that one explosion that devastated the entire building in the Military base he was in - it's just that nobody has tried to calc those explosions for Mercer before, so they aren't used in Mercer's profile for his AP yet.
Corvo can possess corpses and zombies actually, and again possession was argued for allowing an incapNot sure if Corvo could possess beings outside of humans or animals, but even if we assume he could (which isn't an unlikely assumption), it would not help Corvo win here if he were to possess Mercer. Based on what I can recall, Possession has a limited duration based on its descriptions. From what I can recall, at best, Corvo has only around 3 minutes of duration with Possession based on the Inhabitant achievement, and even then it requires unique circumstances such as possessing a rat and staying in a tunnel or possessing a fish and staying in a pipe (which could likely be just gameplay mechanics). Given the win condition for incapacitation is over a day, Corvo wouldn't even reach anywhere near 24 hours until he runs out of duration for his Possession, and thus end up freeing Mercer each time.
Why does that bypass resistance again, is that how its potency is judged, either way corvo can easily teleport away to stealth or heavily injure him and push him back with wind blastGiven that Mercer can absorb via touch in this key, and that Prototype series canonically has all any bites/scratches from the Infected end up with their targets becoming infected, Corvo would eventually run out of stamina/mana and end up with Mercer taking advantage of that opening to absorb him or scratch him with any of Mercer's physical attacks. And while Corvo does have ranged options, so does Mercer with his Whipfist and his Devastators (which was shown to be able to cover the entire city block he was in such as when it destroyed M1 Abram tanks and other vehicles in the cutscenes). If Corvo even manages to get touched by Mercer, he gets absorbed, and if he gets scratched... He would get infected by the Blacklight Virus, which would overpower any resistance to Disease Manipulation Corvo has ever shown with Blacklight's molecular level infection from what I can see. Though even if we assume Corvo manages to continuously dodge Mercer's attacks forever even during periods when he's tired from the usage of his abilities (which is unlikely considering Mercer is not an idiot, and would obviously take as much of an advantage as he can against an evidently annoying target that appears in several areas around him each time), Corvo is not immortal/ageless like Mercer is, so Corvo would eventually die from old age as well if there's nothing he can do against Mercer.
That disadvantage does not mean anything when it comes to characters with higher-tiered regeneration with hax abilities that can bypass conventional durability in several ways, such as Absorption. A 6x AP gap isn't enough to prevent a scratch either and then getting infected either.A 6x gap is still a massive disadvantage mercer is at, Corvo defeated the .069 guy as well. most of these are unsuable as they have not been calced
Incapacitation only matters if it can be kept up for over a day. Unless Corvo has explicit showings, descriptions or quotes of doing that, he isn't going to have a possession duration greater than 3 minutes based on that Achievement (which can argued to be gameplay mechanics), so he would need explicit showings to even prove he can reach over 24 hours, which I haven't found any.Corvo can possess corpses and zombies actually, and again possession was argued for allowing an incap
Teleporting away also has a distance limit for Corvo, based on the showings he has, and he isn't able to teleport through physical obstacles either, so his escape options aren't that many. Even if Corvo spams the blinking, Mercer would still continuously try to get close until Corvo eventually dies from even the slightest mistake that Mercer can take advantage of from a single touch with Absorption. Mercer has not only shown to absorb by touching with his hand either, he was shown to absorb even other targets from the touch of his tendrils, such as in Prototype 2 when he absorbed the Evolved (which should scale to this key of Mercer as it was not explicitly shown or suggested that such abilities are greater in Prototype 2), so he isn't exactly limited to just arms length as he can extend his reach through his tendrils. Corvo's stamina isn't infinite here, and there's also the fact that Mercer has some ranged options as well (and also one of his attacks being a Homing Attack). Corvo can keep trying to gain distance, but it only delays the inevitable. Either he dies from making a mistake from his exhaustion, or he dies of old age.Why does that bypass resistance again, is that how its potency is judged, either way corvo can easily teleport away to stealth or heavily injure him and push him back with wind blast
