Late reply, but what is gonna be covered in the CRT?
As far as I know, it’s AP, speed, strength, dura, basically everything.
When it is coming out?
No idea tbh
Only justification given is Jormungand circling the whole planet
I was actually working on something like this on another site. And I have a bunch of baseline abilities for Magicians and Egyptian gods too. I just need to move all my scans so they're compatible with this site.
Nico tells Carter to die and he does.
Aphrodite
Nico with demigod magic resistance
It hasn't come out yet, all we have now is teaser and casting news
The resistance shouldn't be enough to actually stop Carter's magic from working on him, especially when his attacks still managed to work on Percy while he was in water, so with that being said I'd lean more towards Carter in a fight.
Percy was affected when Carter summoned the first (though still took basically no damage), Carter’s other spell sizzled around him like it was “confused”
The only spell that was confused was the first one he did, the fist spell managed to hit Water Dipped Percy with enough force to knock him out of his shoes
Percy was even held back by a spell of Carter’s during their battle.
Not to mention we see Egyptian magic work on both Percy and Annabeth later in the last crossover
The combat avatar makes Carter slower and less agile, no? While he's physically strong in that state, it's easier for Nico to land hits on him than it is the other way around.
Even if he was, it’s not like demigod magic resistance isn’t like something worth writing home about in verse, seeing as:
He doesn’t really need his avatar though, he should be able to react to all of Nico’s attacks, and be able to like just hide in the duat or send Nico there permanently.
I personally don’t see how Nico would get the chance to do this in battle
Kinda agree on this
Stats amp with water shouldn't increase his magic resistance
The only time I remember him doing that, he had to pick up the Set animal, envision a locker above him, and throw the Set animal into said locker. I don't think he can hit that move on Nico mid combat.
It was spread out over a whole city and even while diluted in that way it put every human in the city to sleep. Sure if it was focused on Percy it might have put him to sleep, but that's enough energy to sleep an entire city concentrated on one person. It's like saying resisting mind manipulation from someone with Martian Manhunter levels of TP isn't impressive because of something like "the total energy was spread out when he mind controlled the continent" as if the fact that he needs to concentrate a significant portion of that same energy on you to make it affect you in the first place isn't impressive.
Circe has pretty powerful magic and had the benefit of not having to spread out the magic.
Charmspeak is some of the strongest magic in the entire verse lol. How is this an anti-feat? Even gods have been affected by Charmspeak.
He wouldn't do that in character. He's bad at those types of spells. The only time I can remember where he even used it in combat was when he was acting as the Eye of a god. Which grants both potency and skill that he wouldn't normally possess.
They do actually. During a fight with Kronos he got stuck in his time magic, but called upon the nearby water and broke free of it.
If said humans had resistance to mind manip maybe the feat itself would be impressive but they are just standard humans, so them falling asleep to it isn’t an indication of it being a super strong spell, and the demigods not being affected by it because it wasn’t fully focused on them isn’t really an impressive resistance feat at all, it is one but it's incredibly baseline.
Regardless, it’s an example of demigod magic resistance not actually doing much.
Which is relative to the context of it being used, charmspeak has tons of antifeats, and characters that are suppose to have magic resistance like Percy falling prey to Piper or Circe using it in a casual sense isn’t a good resistance feat at all. (though I will admit that obviously those two are upper tier users)
Correcting this rq since I just reread the fight, first he punched Percy out of his shoes and into the air.
This means that if Carter decided to just bind Nico with rope the same way he binded someone with higher magic resistance, Nico would quite literally have no way of resist it, and it also means that we can't assume a normal baseline spell will fizzle out when used against Nico seeing as the only time that happened to a demigod was to Percy (Afaik) and that only happened while he was in a buffed state that wouldn't apply to Nico at all.
I thought we were assuming peak conditions and going in to fully end the match, if not I still don’t see nico beating him, as he was able to fight with water empowered percy for a bit even if he was on the losing end of the fight.
I think it's relevant to note that technically Percy wasn't being affected by a spell when Carter tied him with rope. Carter just used magic to animate rope to move into place. There's nothing to resist in this case because he isn't being targeted by anything.
I thought this was base Carter because Eye of Horus Carter would oneshot any demigod. I do agree that base Carter would probably beat Nico though.
Apophis is pretty insane
