what is the level of his hax? in terms of range and potency
As the page states, their resistance improves with cultivation. The potency is dependant on what stage he gained said ability. There are 35 levels, if he gained a specific ability at level 1, then at level 35 he has 35 levels of potency and resistance.
As for range, cultivators contain words within them. They don't qualify for tier 2 due to their size (only a continent) hence the High 6-A rating. At level 30+ they have a statement of expanding said world into a universe, hence the possibly 3-A rating. As for attacks, they can reach into other dimensions and their senses are aware of other dimensions (
check Enhanced Senses & Extrasensory Perception section)
For starters.
What are the leading hax from both characters in combat, What are the the unlikely moves and Ranges for both.
This is an in character debate.
Chen Qi's only passive is plot manipulation. There is a hierarchy of protagonists, with
Gu Chensha being at the top looking for a protagonist to defeat him (quote on his profile). Regardless of where Chen Qi ranks, he is still a protagonist with plot armour.
Anyways, he has abilities listed as 'passive' but they are things turned off for this match. For example mind & soul manipulation, life manipulation, healing, deconstruction aura which at his level removes all particles, space & time to create a vacuum, etc. It shouldn't be in character for him to have it on immediately. Another unlikely move being death manipulation (cultivators can instakill just with their emotions).
Lets move on to the other bits. Once the fight starts, he would go from being ordinary to suddenly having passive paralysis + powernull, attack absorption (even makes him stronger), manifest his Dao which is conceptual manipulation (type 1) and conceptually mindhaxes the opponent into believing his Dao and it also warps reality. Additionally, his Dao is stories, so it is being swept up by it. Also manifesting his world would also manifest subjective reality.
Lastly, he has shapeshifting and adaptation, if he sees it and understands it, he can just transform into it. Whether it is a weapon or energy, for example the latter, they can transform into devilish energy which has the effects of Corruption, Corrosion Inducement, Power Nullification, Madness Manipulation, Necromancy & Disease Manipulation.
Whether it is his plot manipulation, invulnerability, HGR, abilities or resistances, or absorbing hax and even having the ability to seal, null, erase it or even modify it (power modification) it still seems to be a stomp but I will look forward to replies from supporters. One last thing though, Chen Qi does have information analysis which would immediately tell him everything he needs to know.
