The second paragraph of the durability page got me confused


 
Generally speaking, yes, because of Newton's Third Law, that every single action has an equal and opposite reaction. Meaning, if you punch with X AP, your body must be strong enough to withstand the recoil of said punch and to not shatter completely.

Of course, there are instances where one uses a separate attack different from their striking strength but then it's nothing more than a separate attack with its own tier.

I agree with punching but what if it is energy blasts AP
 
What Jackof_noTrades said.

In the case of a universal energy source (Which is prevalent in pretty much most of fiction), one can use the same exact energy source to utilize in their physical punches and kicks and/or use it to shoot powerful energy blasts, and it would then scale to them in full.

Of course, there are exceptions with some verses that show energy blasts to be of different magnitudes compared to their physical strikes, but that's basically just it, exceptions.
 
Im so sorry if im disturbing u oo but i still dont understand well



Does being able to make high 6A blast(DC) give u high 6A durability automatically
We do not use Destructive Capacity, we use Attack Potency, which is different as Attack Potency does not rely on area of effect.

And if the character's energy blast uses the same energy source as the one he uses for his physical attacks, then yes, it will scale to durability.

Alternatively, said character could also scale if his opponent took the High 6-A blast and was relatively uninjured, and the said character then damaged his opponent with physical punches and kicks.

Striking Strength scales to Durability, Attack Potency does not. Attack Potency sometimes scales to Striking Strength, though.
Generally speaking, most magic stuff doesn't automatically scale to durability.

Ohh thanks for this 👍🏽👍🏽
 
DT and KLOL are basically correct, though there are exceptions. If character A regularly tanks magic attacks from character B, and the same characters trade blows physical strikes, they scale accordingly. And Universal energy systems also offer explanations such as characters being equally able to harness X megatons of energy into their physical strikes even if their AP feat comes from a magic spell. But the default is that AP that comes from magic powers doesn't always scale to physical attacks.
