I guess better justifications are due.
The verse does need better justifications for some stuff yes.
I don't think electricity works like that.
I think electricity fits into this, since a guy who can resist a million voltz doesn't mean he can resist 1 billion.
Do you have scans of those instances? I wouldn't mind just replacing the justification.
Agreed. Electricity can't really be "layered".
It is in their boss fight, he withstands their electricity / lightning, unlike Trish’s, he still takes minimal damage but that’s expected from a game.
I don’t think elemental abilities in general like fire,ice etc can be layered either way,unless the verse has some specific mechanics that allows it to happen.
I wonder what it's like at absolute zero.
Uh, I mean if it's just taking a blast of electricity and getting harmed by it, then it isn't really resistance. He'd have to be unharmed by it for it to be a resistance.
isn’t the resistance for electricity manipulation granted if the character doesn’t get electrocuted by the electricity? Cause Dante doesn’t, but it still takes off a tiny bit of his health bar, just like his every enemy in the game can damage you.
No? If this is a standard, then it's completely new to me. If Dante is visibly harmed by electricity, and you seem to admit he is, then he doesn't resist it.
(Well yeah cause everything in most games is coded to damage you) but I was under the impression that you get resistance to electricity manipulation if you resist getting electrocuted by it , if that isn’t the case in the wiki’s standards then I have nothing else to add
If you notice, in many games you take damage to the x thing but it is placed as resistance on the wiki. Like, just go to some of the most famous ones and look at the resistances that come from the gameplay, you will probably see him being affected/receiving damage and it will be listed as resistance. Why exactly and the argument? I don't know, but it's common.
Yeah video game verses are that way mostly, I think it is because let’s say attack A is said to be able to petrify anyone who gets hurt by it, character B gets hit by the attack but they don’t get petrified and only take a bit of physical damage, they will get a resistance to petrification that way as far as im aware.
He does beat demons who use electricity, such as Blitz, Nevan and Griffon. He also blocks Griffon's lightning with his sword in DMC5 without getting shocked.
Not severely harmed so much as convulsed due to the current which directly contracts muscles and then standing up unharmed.
My brother in Sparda, there's steam coming out of him from everywhere.
He has 30K degree lightning pulsed into his spine for several seconds, and then gets up right afterwards undamaged. Even the steam and smoke can very easily be his clothes, his sweat, the floor, the wall.
I mean, if you're referring to the gameplay itself, basically everything hurts the player
That could just be game mechanics.
Basically that. A cutscene would be better.
Maybe just limited resistance to it, then?
We're not talking about some fodder enemy that you can easily destroy though, we're talking about a boss that's also kinda important to Mundus' army, whose copycat version would later go on to also harm Dante. You cannot use the "eh its an outlier because gameplay" argument.
