Asuna can do the same thing lol, in fact that's another thing she uses riftways for. I don't think it's very important when they are basically equally matched in that regard. Same thing as the fact that javen can basically spawn stars in her face too.
But he wouldn’t if they were next to the earth and cobalt could just avoid that outright if she goes to hyperspace before that’s taken care of
This is fair, but again if destiny goes out (Which i think she likely will the moment javen starts creating stars) Then cobalt will have to split her efforts between two enemies who have good methods of defense. Plus, cobalt has no experience fighting in space as far as i know, but asuna & javen do, so this is a completely unfamiliar environment to her too.
She’s faced way worse odds than ‘two enemies with good defenses.’ Blood sea soldiers are def being underestimated
these guys can do a ton of stuff, even a single one has stuff like precog, corruption auras, EE, all the stuff the hyperblade has, high levels of regen, portals, duplication, a bunch of fighting skill independent of all the other stuff, and more. Cobalt literally fights whole groups of dozens of them, and wins, without even needing to go 100% or just cheese them out with clones (they certainly help though).
The environment created by the sea of blood is certainly more deadly than fighting in outer space would be. She resists the effects of being there anyway (I’ve said this) so basically all that does is give her a free pass to really cut loose
[Negate] Only blocks one skill, yeah, but things like total spirit shield have a pretty strict time limit anyway, and the blade thing doesn't sound completely impossible to dodge especially considering cobalts inferior range, and the deconstruction has even worse range and cobalts burning deconstruction seems contact-based too. Asuna will just go for whatevers the most convenient for her team most of the time, which seems to be the clones in particular. I believe i already mentioned defense mechanism for the plutonium light thingy too, so unless it's 100x brighter than a star the atomic goggles should block it out.
Bruh culmination is not just pure light
if you glance at it, the effects are gonna take place even if you have filters on or whatever. This thing can literally drive beings of embodied madness, into madness, at a glance. It’s mesmerizing. I don’t think putting on advanced glasses is going to help so much
Disabling clones gives cobalt incentive to use power mimicry and modification as a main focus, and god knows what she’d gain if she went all out with that. Possibly a method of astral projection which surpasses her plutonium phantoms…
Javen has power absorption which cobalt doesn't have a shown resistance to, and it's pretty much power mimicry on steroids
Javen might not be able to use it to it's full effect as the page says, but even then some of it's stuff could prove highly useful.
Asuna might not be able to mimic cobalts stuff directly, but i imagine she could also get inspired by them and make her power creation more effective now that i think about it, especially since she's done this when she's seen others' abilities in the past. She's considerably more skilled than her beggining-of-series self so i imagine some pseudo-versions of cobalts moves wouldn't be that difficult to make and use to their benefit.
Bro, we have been over this already in cobalt vs Asuna two, power mimicry of cobalt is not gonna happen
absorption doesn’t matter either. If you don’t have her exact dna structure, you can’t wield her Energy, and even if they did they would have zero experience and it would hardly assist them anyway
The kind of heat cobalt would experience, especially if there's multiple supermassive stars, is roughly enough to cook you in a femtosecond, or enough time for light to travel the diameter of a bacteria cell, so even if these guys were all MFTL and not FTL it's not even enough time for them to move a millimetre, so make of that what you will
Yeah I’m banking on cobalt being in hyperspace before this is a problem
Well, i mean, javen has literally supported that SS javen would do this. Plus if he didn't use stars in combat or anywhere before, he wouldn't really have them
Again it wouldn't be hard for them to move the earth out of the way at all. We talked about this.
Doesn’t seem right for an everywhere hero.
Would the clones be affected by their own attacks then? Asuna can redirect them with riftways at anytime, so even if her own non-physical interaction doesn't work (Which it likely could if they really are ghostly beings, since this is exactly what hers specifies) this could be an option.
Not really, they can’t be hurt by their own Energy so all reflection would do is count as a defense, it wouldn’t make for extra offensive options
It probably is lol
I feel javens range is far enough for that to not matter too much even if he doesn't resist the heat though. Asuna can always teleport him far away which is also one of their defense mechanisms.
Well it’s not even implied on his profile, and I can’t just let everything off with the benefit of the doubt. I’m gonna assume he doesn’t and needs to make that range.
Teleporting him far away might be good for a moment but cobalt can follow him with cosmic awareness + portals
Keep in mind that, other than plutonium spirit shield (Which doesn't last very long anyway), most of cobalts other shields probably won't be very hard to get through at all. Cobalt has never used them to block something that's literally trillions of times stronger than herself, she's never encountered anyone THAT strong, so if she's vulnerable for even a moment then asuven are gonna capitalise on that too.
She can make it last longer though
and while it’s active there’s nothing either have that stops her from going to hyperspace outside of playback, ig
