Potency & Resistance based on Power

[ActuallySpaceMan42]

So this verse has Potency of Abilities and Resistance of Hax based on power. This is an example from the verse.

Character A who is Level 3 and some fodder who are Level 2 could completely ignore the Mind, Death & Law Hax of Character B who is Level 4. But the moment Character B began using more power, the Level 2 fodder began getting affected by some of the Hax they were able to ignore before, though Character A could still resist them enough to escape. But then Character B started to use even more power and completely bypassed the resistance Character A showed before.

Now I have two separate questions.

1. Can these levels be used as layers of Resistance and Potency?

2. If a character's level is infinite would that be infinite layers of Resistance and Potency?

I don't think it'd be since the resistance and potency are based on their power levels. If you have a character C that's also level 4 or a character D that's level 5 who shows resistance then gets bypassed then it could make sense.

What exactly do you mean?

What exactly do you mean?

I meant that the fact that someone higher leveled having their ability work on those lower leveled isn't really solid for layers of potency and negation, from what you wrote it can just be taken as applying more "effort" while using the hax, anyone weaker than them can be affected by their ability, how resistant/potent you are is tied to how strong you are.

If you have instances where someone equal leveled resists and gets bypassed or someone higher leveled resisting then getting bypassed by someone lower leveled then layers of potency and resistance would make sense.

Well, that's kind of confusing me since that's normally how Cultivation resistances work. It's usually Higher Cultivation > Lower Cultivation and we count those as layers of resistance, why is it different here?

Well I'm not familiar with that. I was considering it in a cross verse scenario. If it's just inverse I guess it works, but it wouldn't work for a cross verse battle where power isn't an indicator of hax effectiveness. Say we have a verse 1, where mind manipulation by wall level characters works on star level or universal level characters and there's an athlete level character A who resists it, then there's verse 2 where character B that's city level can't mind manip a mountain level character because his power is lower. Character B who has more power than character A wouldn't be able to mind manip him. So I see it as an inverse scaling and wouldn't be layers in the real sense.

Found this thread which could help with what I meant

Oh, I see there is a bit of confusion I think. This power directly gives them resistance, like it's not just a potency and resistance to other people's hax and attacks. For example just because he was Level 3 this one character could drink something that would normally turn you to ash. And although it did hurt him he could still resist it.

Oh, alright if the "power" mentioned is literally already gauging the level of resistance/potency and it's not tied the character's "strength" then it'd work fine for layers. So to answer the original questions again.

1. Yes, they'd work as layers

2. Yes, it's infinite layers

Though I don't think that the infinite layers would be relevant on a higher D hax.
