And I was replying choco, who was replying to crystal's statement about it being a bad end, who quoted reborn's "why not both".
And so chocolate12 popped Highwind's (sig) cherry.

Take my name off of it. Make people dig if they want context. Don't warn then about my metaphors.
Evil vampire Sega wouldn't actually be Sega, just an evil vampire who looks like Sega. In order for it to have the correct emotional impact, Anastasia can't be capable of just rationalizing it away as an enemy trying to mess with her head. Of course, my "correct" is another person's "critical hit" when it comes to these things, so...Neat.
Yeah...
What's wrong with it.
No, no, this is Evil Vampire-Sega who seeks to kill her. Not just Vampire-Sega.

Funniest meme I've ever laid eyes on.
Well I don't think you can count as being surprising after:
given how long and drawn out the effect is.
And besides that I don't think the chestbuster is instantly fatal. Even West's once, which was specifically designed to be fatal, still had her living long enough for this:
when you consider that White has 3x as much Health as West at the best of times and right now has 11x as much Health, because West was down to ~13k IIRC, she should definitely survive long enough for Instantaneous Regeneration to kick in.

Problem with White isn't her dying, but what she spawns. Bein unkillable means she can keeping spawning too
Take her in while we look for her Mama?
@crystalwatcher, thanks for the info, gonna start writing the omake soon. Crystal, I have some other question, The Big five magic style, is every one of them can be used by non-magical human? I understand that Band Craft was possible for non-magical human since Humanity can mass produce it in factories in magical leyline soak up with mana so the same can be say with human using tools that is soak up in mana. Soul Scrying nothing to say about since only human can used it and it perform through machine. Necromancy and the other three, I not so sure.
Also, did any of the other faction pick up the mass production method of Band Craft perform by human? I can't see them not picking it up since it would help the war effort a lot in mass producing superior equipment despite miscoppection about human technology.
The Magic Binary and Akashic Record, how often they are used by the other races/faction even among the Unified Light?
Well that's mostly because False Existence means it can only be killed by top tier Magical Girls. Actually speaking of which:
@crystalwatcher - I think you might have made a mistake with the numbers for False Existence.
To demonstrate let's take an attack that does say 5,000 damage. Now as per:
False Existence gives the Nightmare an extra Damage x 2 Resilience.
So for Nightmare of the West that would mean:
Resilience = 999 + 5,000 * 2 = 10,999
Now if we apply the four ranks of Resilience reductions:
Myth: 10,999 - 10,000 * 0.25 = 8,499
Legend: 10,999 - 10,000 * 0.5 = 5,999
Epic: 10,999 - 10,000 * 0.75 = 3,499
Divinity: 10,999 - 10,000 * 1.00 = 999
Legend: 10,999 - 10,000 * 0.5 = 5,999
Epic: 10,999 - 10,000 * 0.75 = 3,499
Divinity: 10,999 - 10,000 * 1.00 = 999
Which makes it pretty obvious that only Epic and Divinity effects are capable of even damaging her and everything else gets flat out no-sold. This raises the question of why did you even bother mentioning Myth and Legend having an effect since it still amounts to 0 damage?
Incoming Damage = X
Base Resilience = Y
Total Resilience = 2X + Y
Myth: Apply 0.75x modifier
Legend: Apply 0.5x modifier
Epic: Apply 0.25x modifier
Divinity: Apply 0x modifier
Myth:
Total Resilience = 0.75 * 2X + Y = 1.5X + Y
Legend:
Total Resilience = 0.50 * 2X + Y = 1.0X + Y
Epic:
Total Resilience = 0.25 * 2X + Y = 0.5X + Y
Divinity:
Total Resilience = 0.00 * 2X + Y = 0.0X + Y
Therefore for values of Y > -X Legend and Myth always result in a Total Resilience greater then Incoming Damage.
Base Resilience = Y
Total Resilience = 2X + Y
Myth: Apply 0.75x modifier
Legend: Apply 0.5x modifier

I have caught up finally
Presumably, Abilities likes Armour Pierce and Juggernaut work on it. Plus Affinity penalties. So someone with a Myth Affinity and the right mixture of personal Affinities and Abilities could hurt one.
Because in theory an attack could have BOTH Myth and Legend as properties at the same time, resulting in a residence reduction of either 75% or 62.5% (depending on how it stacks)?
I don't think that's possible, barring synchronization shenanigans, because Myth, Legend, ect are special Magical Girl affinities that determine their growth rate (IE: How awesome and likely to be plot relevant are you):
So a Magical Girl having more then one doesn't really make sense.
Edit:
I think the most reasonable explanation is Gore's idea:
That's characters though. Does it say anywhere that spells can't have multiple growth affinities?
You can only use spells that match your Affinity, unless your name is Samael.
With the exception of people like Samael, who has the Affinity Override ability, and the Big Five styles of magic anyone can use you can only use spells that line up with your Affinity.
Reference:
And would you really be surprised if there was a magical girl out there who had an ability like that

For all intents and purposes the Big Five need someone to be capable of Magic in order to use them. Except for brand Craft for the same reason you pointed out.
The other factions in the Unified Light are picking up the concepts that originally lead humans to the industrial revolution, but it's slow going. Not only is it because of the technology gap, but it's also due to the mentality of the other races when compared to humans: we're the insane moe blob of doom remember. As it is, the Elves are closest to working out mass-production but only in a roundabout manner, it's caused a lot of false starts across the board.
Necromancy directly requires the user to be able to use magic. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to manipulate their own soul.
Magic Binary isn't very wide spread, but its spreading. A lot of Fairies are taking it up themselves. The Akashic Record though is a lot harder to use and has caused more than one non-human practitioner to trip into the Abyss. So its currently spreading a lot slower, and with a lot less enthusiasm.
As Gore says.
Myth is where a Magical Girl starts getting bullshit abilities that can pierce through something like that. It's not reliable, not even close, but it's where the gap starts.

A couple questions for ya. One, isn't the Record really only useful for correcting history and such? Two, the fuck is the Abyss?
