That being said, I feel like this will keep popping up over and over until someone takes care of it. Since I feel confident I'm more neutral in regards to this now, I think it's safe for me to say x or y towards the characters (and do correct me if I'm wrong regarding anything on Homura here because my knowledge on Wraith arc is not up to date).
I'll talk more about the compatibility of the skillsets and why I feel iffy about the match:
Power Drain is good and all but the problem is that Peak!DD's absorption caps at Zeed Levels. Conceptual Split she used to tie with Lucemon, welp... If Homura were to eventually split DD and fight its base form that would not affect the Acausal alternates scattered across the infinite timelines, so the match simply resumes with whatever alternates whenever that happens.
Now comes a point I talked about on the Daemon thread:
"1. Isn't Daemon a user of magic? If so he'll have a hell of a time against TD since Lavos can passively absorb magic (not just spells, Magic energy
directly from the enemy if they have it) ever since Base
, and was the one responsible for actually creating it in Chrono." ...Being absorption, this scales to the same feats (can absorb Serge+CC if given the chance to) as well, meaning Homura will be facing Drain on Zeed Lvls throughout the entire match while making the thing stronger. And will be even more drained whenever she strikes as DD at this point has a passive counter of draining the energy from the enemy who strikes on top of the passive absorption.
On Homura's side, no Soul means the broken "Soul to Sleep that worked on 2-A through a small fraction of its power" hax is out of the table.
She has Conceptual Manip on her side that Lavos lacks. Lavos on the other hand has Existence + Non Existence Erasure added to whatever it does (
they literally have a cutscene for when they nuked non-existence (the Res Nullius) using the power of a fragment of the thing ).
Memory Manip is something that DD is constantly doing to Schala and is also something that FATE, who is baseline 2-A does as a plot point in Cross through channeling Lavos' powers with the FF, still it couldn't do so to Harle or Lavos itself and got outsmarted as a result. So I assume if Homura goes that way they would be in a thug of war with poor Schala in the center? ROFL
I'm not saying Homura would lose the competition on the Memory Department, myself, but dunno if she can be memory haxxing all the dupes at once and assuming she does get it through to one, the others would be aware of what happened to the first and presumably be ready to counter it with their own from that moment onwards.
Now Homura existing as a Concept is something that makes me uncertain as I don't know the extent of that. DD!Lavos can, as I said in the other thread, interact and delete things as immaterial as: Thoughts, Memories, Dreams (which work in quite the abstract level on the Chrono Series as even the Planet, "the Entity" have "Dreams of their own" despite not being human nor existing in the same sense as the characters), space-time, erased space-time and beings that were erased from existence.
This is a good bunch of stuff on the non-corporeal department, so while I have serious doubts Lavos can simply erase Homura, I feel more inclined to believe Absorption may eventually work (dunno how long it takes) considering the scale and that's how it originally beat Madoka way back then?
This is all an analysis I made thinking about it and may be not complete considering that, again, my current knowledge on Wraith Arc is VERY limited.
