Can't find a good place for these changes in the main series of downgrades, so here's a bonus thread ig. This one's nice and easy.
Zeus' Breath Attack
Currently, Zeus' breath attack justification says the following:
Kratos' Combat Intelligence
One of Kratos' more notable skill feats occurs towards the end of GoW 1, where he is sent to a dimension and forced to fend off numerous copies of himself. The current justification for this is written as follows:
Demigod Kratos' Resistance to Power Nullification
Zeus' lightning can nullify powers. In GoW 1, Kratos can tank this lightning thrown by his clones. without having his powers nullified. Simple, right? Well, not exactly; The power nullification aspect of Zeus' lightning only occurs at the highest level (since all GoW games have you "level up" your magic and items to unlock new abilities). The clones throwing this lightning are explicitly said to use it at only the most basic level; Thus, they would not have access to the variety of Zeus' lightning that negates magic.
This doesn't require any edits (I don't think so, anyways) but it's probably important to note that Ares' whole "force an opponent to fight copies of themselves" thing doesn't summon perfect copies, mostly weaker versions that don't have all of the original's skill and abilities.
Zeus' Breath Attack
Currently, Zeus' breath attack justification says the following:
This is not true. Looking at the original scan, it's clearly stated that he blew up the wall with a lightning bolt, and then blew away the resulting cloud of dust. Thus, the justification should be changed to something like "can generate windstorms with his breath".
Kratos' Combat Intelligence
One of Kratos' more notable skill feats occurs towards the end of GoW 1, where he is sent to a dimension and forced to fend off numerous copies of himself. The current justification for this is written as follows:
Most of this is okay, save for the "more skilled" part. As explained in the official manual, the clones Kratos fights are explicitly less skilled than him, due to lacking his training and experience. The scan cited in the justification doesn't even say they were more skilled than him, either. So, that needs to be removed.During his battle with Ares, he also fought against multiple younger clones of himself who were stated to be much stronger, faster, more agile, more skilled and considerably more bloodlusted, and Kratos brutally killed all of them, threatening Ares to send more and saying that none would ever reach his family.[120]
