By the way, I'd like to point out that neither the Magical girls nor the Abnormalities have showcased their full canon level of abilities in this fic so far.
(Holy crap, I forgot there a votes)
This is because Color level fixer, with the info we have so far, are only WAW category entities. In fact, none of the "Human" characters we have seen are ALEPH level save for *maybe* Arbiters, but that is a bit questionable.
The Pianist vs Roland doesn't count since the Pianist became a cripple because of the gloves, not to mention he's so tough and fadt that he would've had enough time to close in against a crippled distortion, that thing would've given The Red Mist a hard time without the gloves.
Anyway, to clarify, the Abnormalities in Lob Corp are greatly weakened, even then, LobCorp Geburah, who is *stronger* than The Red Mist, was only on par with them, the same Red Mist, who, while empowered by wielding multiple EGO that she could find lying around killed two Claws along with the rest of the weakened abnormalities and still had enough juice to go ham on Garion, meaning real Claws aren't ALEPHs, again, The LobCorp Geburah Bossfight is still stronger than this Kali (both physically and because EGO expands her damage types) and she wasn't even ALEPH herself.
So it makes sense for the Adult and various other WAW abnos to have been somehow still under Qlipoth Deterrence despite being outside, because X, who is weaker than Library Geburah, let alone Kali, right now, kicked The Adult's ass with Argalia and Madoka with great difficulty. I mean, that's not something even The Red Mist would be able to do by herself despite probably being stronger than the trio and the other magical girls COMBINED.
To add to this, a Claw seemed to have been around the level of Colors in Library of Ruins, Baral having 810HP and 410 Stagger and is generally stronger than most Colors we've seen even without most of his passives and after being a placeholder for a Claw that is probably bound to change and get buffs much like Ricardo and other characters in Limbus. no this doesn't actually add to the conversation, I wanted to add this bit of info here because my brain wouldn't forgive me otherwise.
To add another layer to my useless rant so please treat this as a separate matter on the previous topic, PALE damage is an insane cheat, it can close the gap between a nugget getting beaten easily by a weakened WAW and a Claw, a 50/50 chance of a winning even, and that's after considering how utterly busted a Claw is, they can rip space and speed up for the ultimate firepower, regenerate, speed up, teleport and nullify any attack that goes above a certain threshold of power regardless if it's supernatural physical or technical in nature.
all because Justitia does PALE damage going percent damage on the Claw, slowing it down, paralyzing it, bringing it closer to cessation and speeding the nugget up because why not?
Or maybe the Claw is the one who's insanely strong to match evenly with something that speeds itself up and slows their enemy down in some sort of conceptual stasis, in combination with percent damage that becomes doubly effective towards mortals and whatever other abilities Justitia has.
On the other hand, other ALEPH nuggets probably aren't as effective, because they can't exploit this damage type, they're barely only around pre-ego Xiao's level or much lower (around HE to low WAW) that still means they "blow away" regular Grade-1s though.
I... Nevermind I went on for long enough. MOMMY FAUST.
i guess what I meant by all this is, the Birds and the Adult, and maybe Nothing There still had Qlipoth Deterrence if we are following canon as close as possible... That's all...
on the other hand, strong magical girls like Mami can probably reach Grade-1 or 2 if they can launch mini-nukes that look like they're around 0.5 to 3 kilotons in yield, the only problem is that Magical girls lack experience dealing with Fixers. So uh, I think giving them chance to fight TETH distortions is a good high difficulty exercise. (Holy crap, 747 words)
edit: I think I should delete half of this and transfer it to the LoR thread instead of clogging this one with useless topics, what do you guys think?
