Tiering System

## Introduction

Power scaling wikis utilize a hierarchical system to categorize and index fictional characters, entities, and objects based on the scale of their feats and abilities. This system is particularly relevant in the context of the Dragon Ball franchise, which features a vast array of powerful characters, each with unique abilities and power levels. The Dragon Ball universe is known for its complex cosmology and lore, and understanding the power levels of characters often requires a deep understanding of these elements.

While destructive capacity is a key factor in determining a character's tier, it is not the only consideration. Other factors, such as durability, speed, hax abilities, and energy projection, also play a significant role in determining a character's tier. Additionally, a character's tier is not always a reliable indicator of their ability to defeat another character, as certain abilities and hax can bypass raw power levels.

Furthermore, in the Dragon Ball universe, power levels and tiers are closely tied to the series' lore and cosmology. For instance, the concept of ki and its various forms are integral to understanding the power levels of characters in the franchise. The various gods and deities in the Dragon Ball universe possess abilities and power levels that exceed those of mortal characters, adding another layer to the tiering system. This comprehensive overview of the tiering system aims to provide a clearer understanding of the different tiers and sub-tiers used to categorize characters in the Dragon Ball universe.

### Explanation of the Tiering System

The tiering system utilized by power scaling wikis is based on the principle of adhering to infinity in projective Geometry and the concept of a Hausdorff dimension, in which each higher spatial dimension is more than inaccessibly greater than the preceding number of any magnitude. In simpler terms, the tiers represent a hierarchy of power levels, with each tier being significantly more powerful than the previous one. This is demonstrated by stacking squares into a cube, for example, which requires more than an infinite amount to fill a true 3-dimensional cube.

In the context of the Dragon Ball universe, the tiering system is closely tied to the series' lore and cosmology, as well as the various abilities and power levels possessed by the franchise's many characters. The system takes into account factors such as destructive capacity, durability, speed, hax abilities, and energy projection when determining a character's tier. However, raw destructive capacity is not the only consideration, and other abilities can bypass power levels. While differences between tiers can be significant, being far stronger than a character that belongs to a certain tier does not necessarily qualify one for a higher rating.

The M-Theory defines the total and complete sum of an entire multiverse, with all higher dimensions included, as a 10 to 11-dimensional structure. The various dimensions of the multiverse and the structures that exist within them are key considerations in the tiering system. Additionally, the various planes of existence in the Dragon Ball universe, such as the afterlife and the demon realm, also play a role in determining a character's tier.

Understanding the tiering system is crucial for accurately and effectively analyzing and comparing characters from the Dragon Ball universe. It provides a framework for categorizing and indexing fictional characters, entities, and objects based on the scale of their feats and abilities, as well as the varying scopes in which they can affect or create/destroy. This system helps to organize the vast array of powerful characters in the Dragon Ball franchise, each with their own unique abilities and power levels, and allows for meaningful comparisons and discussions among fans and enthusiasts.

## The Scale

### Tier 11: Essence

This tier represents the lowest level of existence and refers to beings that exist purely in essence or energy form. Such beings are typically not bound by physical form or location and may exist beyond the traditional constraints of space and time. The tier is further divided into sub-tiers based on the level of manifestation of the being's essence.

#### 11-C: Essence Level

The first sub-tier includes characters or objects that exist purely as an abstract concept, thought, or idea, and lack physical form or existence. These beings may represent the fundamental aspects of existence or the primal forces of the universe. Also included in this sub-tier are beings whose essence is equivalent to a point in space, having no mass or physical form. Such beings may be able to manipulate energy and matter on a subatomic level but have no significant impact on the physical world. In Dragon Ball, at this sub-tier, it would include dreams, premonitions, memories, and thoughts about things that may no longer exist or might possibly exist, such as the legend of the original Super Saiyan.

#### 11-B: Form Level

The second sub-tier includes characters or objects that have a defined form or shape but lack physical or material substance. These beings may be illusions, projections, spirits, or beings made entirely of energy with a limited physical presence. They lack the ability to interact with the physical world on a large scale and are primarily composed of energy or essence. In Dragon Ball, this sub-tier would include disembodied spirits, such as those seen in the afterlife.

#### 11-A: Manifest Level

The third sub-tier includes characters or objects that exist in physical form, with tangible bodies or material substance. However, their essence has manifested into a physical form, making their essence their primary source of power. These beings possess physical strength and the ability to manipulate matter on a larger scale but may be weakened or destroyed if their essence is disrupted or drained. This sub-tier includes all living beings, physical objects, and other material entities. At the highest level of this sub-tier in Dragon Ball, it would include any being with a physical form that is below the capabilities or influential power of the Mortal tier, such as primitive life forms like bacteria, or a spirit with enough power to take control of physical matter.

In Dragon Ball, the Essence tier reflects the existence of beings that exist beyond the traditional constraints of space and time, from the fundamental aspects of existence to beings with tangible bodies or material substance. The Essence tier is divided into sub-tiers based on the level of manifestation of the being's essence, from abstract concepts and spirits to physical forms that are below the capabilities or influential power of the Mortal tier. The Essence tier showcases the diverse nature of existence in the Dragon Ball universe, ranging from the most basic concepts to powerful, otherworldly beings.

### Tier 10: Mortal

This tier represents the power level of mortal beings, such as humans and animals, who are limited by the constraints of their physical bodies. While they may possess impressive physical abilities, they are ultimately bound by their mortality and lack the potential for the same extraordinary feats as beings beyond their mortal limitations.

#### 10-C: Below Average Mortal level

Characters or objects who are physically impaired or below the average norm in terms of strength for mortals, such as young children, elderly individuals, or small animals. This sub-tier would include creatures with very low intelligence and minimal physical abilities, such as insects or other small creatures.

#### 10-B: Average Mortal level

This sub-tier would include characters who are physically average or below average, such as ordinary humans without any special training or abilities. It may also include weaker alien species who are comparable in strength to humans.

#### 10-A: Enhanced Mortal level

This sub-tier would include characters who have undergone physical or mental training to enhance their abilities beyond that of a normal mortal. This could include martial artists or soldiers who have undergone extensive training, as well as certain alien species who possess innate physical abilities.

Overall, Tier 10 in Dragon Ball represents the power level of mortal beings, with sub-tiers reflecting the varying degrees of physical strength and abilities among mortals. This tier highlights the importance of physical training and discipline in the Dragon Ball universe, as well as the diversity of life within it.

### Tier 9: Structural

This tier represents characters or objects with the ability to affect the physical structure of their environment, ranging from small-scale destruction to larger constructions. It reflects the theme of characters being able to manipulate their environment to gain an advantage in combat.

#### 9-C: Street level

Characters or objects who possess peak human physical abilities or low superhuman strength, such as Olympic-level athletes, rigorously trained martial artists, or large animals. This sub-tier may also include characters who possess advanced combat skills, techniques, or weapons, granting them an advantage in combat against more physically powerful opponents. In Dragon Ball, this sub-tier would include ordinary humans with no special training or abilities, as well as certain alien species who are physically weaker than common Saiyans or Namekians.

#### 9-B: Barrier level

Characters or objects who possess the ability to destroy or significantly damage extremely resistant materials, such as stone, metal, or steel, as well as similarly resistant parts of constructions such as walls, barriers, or structural supports. In Dragon Ball, this sub-tier would include characters who are capable of breaking through thick barriers or shields, such as Android 8, or characters who possess physical strength beyond that of a normal human, such as common Saiyans. It may also include characters who possess special abilities that allow them to bypass physical durability, such as energy blasts or ki attacks.

#### 9-A: Small Building level

Characters or objects capable of destroying entire small constructions, such as houses or other structures, or causing significant damage to larger constructions such as buildings or bridges. This sub-tier may also include characters who possess the ability to manipulate the environment on a larger scale, such as causing earthquakes or other natural disasters. In Dragon Ball, this sub-tier would include characters who are capable of destroying entire houses or small buildings, such as early Goku or Krillin, as well as certain alien species who possess innate destructive abilities, such as the Freeza Force soldiers.

It should be noted that while Tier 9 represents characters who are capable of affecting the physical structure of their environment, they are still mortal beings and lack the potential for the extraordinary feats of beings beyond their mortal limitations. In Dragon Ball, characters beyond this tier possess the ability to affect their environment on a much larger scale, from planetary destruction to even the destruction of entire universes.

### Tier 8: Urban

This tier represents characters or objects that possess the power to affect the physical environment on an urban scale, with a focus on the destruction of buildings and other man-made structures.

#### 8-A: Multi-City Block level

Characters or objects who possess the ability to destroy multiple city blocks or equivalent areas of space, such as a significant portion of a large city or even an entire smaller city. This sub-tier may also include characters who possess advanced technological or magical abilities that grant them the ability to manipulate their environment on a larger scale, such as characters who can manipulate energy on a planetary scale.

In Dragon Ball, this tier would include characters who possess advanced technology, such as the Red Ribbon Army's weapons, as well as powerful fighters who can destroy buildings and other structures. This tier also reflects the theme of characters possessing the power to affect their environment on an urban scale, as seen in battles that take place in cities or populated areas.

### Tier 7: Cataclysmic

This tier represents characters or objects with the power to affect their environment on a large scale, capable of destruction on the level of entire settlements or even mountains. It reflects the theme of characters possessing the power to shape the world around them, with characters ranging from powerful Saiyans to advanced technology from the Red Ribbon Army.

#### **High 5-A:** Dwarf Star level

Characters or objects who possess the ability to create or destroy very small stars. This sub-tier may include powerful individuals or groups with innate abilities or those who possess advanced technology capable of manipulating celestial bodies on a massive scale.

Overall, Tier 5 in Dragon Ball represents characters or objects with the power to affect celestial bodies on a planetary scale, including the destruction of small planets and even stars. While the sub-tiers are primarily based on destructive power, they may also take into account durability and resistance to such attacks. Advanced technology and magical abilities may also play a role in this tier, as they can grant characters the power to manipulate celestial bodies in ways that would otherwise be impossible. The range of power represented in Tier 5 makes it a significant level of power in the Dragon Ball universe, as characters at this level can easily destroy entire planets and even cause mass extinction events.

### Tier 4: Stellar

This tier represents characters or objects from the Dragon Ball universe with the power to affect celestial bodies on a stellar scale, including stars and even entire solar systems. The sub-tiers are as follows:

#### Low 4-C: Small Star Level

Characters or objects who possess the ability to create or destroy multiple solar systems. This sub-tier includes powerful individuals, groups, or even entire races who possess innate abilities or those who possess advanced technology capable of manipulating celestial bodies on a truly galactic scale.

In Dragon Ball, this tier reflects the theme of characters possessing the power to affect celestial bodies on a stellar scale, including the creation or destruction of stars and even entire solar systems. The inclusion of sub-tiers for advanced technology and magical abilities reflects the diversity of power sources in the Dragon Ball universe.

### Tier 3: Cosmic

Tier 3 represents characters or objects with immense power on a cosmic scale, based on their ability to create and/or destroy celestial bodies and their attack potency. The sub-tiers are as follows:

#### 3-C: Galaxy Level

Characters or objects that can create and/or destroy a galaxy, taking into account the space between celestial bodies, not just the matter encompassed by them. This level of power is often demonstrated by characters who are able to destroy a planet with ease.

#### 3-B: Multi-Galaxy Level

Characters or objects that can create and/or destroy multiple galaxies, taking into account the space between celestial objects as well. This level of power is often demonstrated by characters who can destroy an entire solar system with ease.

#### 3-A: Universe Level

Characters or objects that can create or destroy all celestial bodies within a finite 3-D space at least equivalent in size to the observable universe. This can be achieved through an omnidirectional explosion that covers the entire space or by significantly affecting a 3-D universe or a pocket dimension of comparable size. This level of power is often demonstrated by characters who can destroy a universe with ease.

#### High 3-A: High Universe Level

Characters or objects that demonstrate an infinite amount of energy on a 3-D scale, such as creating or destroying infinite mass, or those who can affect an infinite 3-D space. This extends to an infinite number of finite or infinite-sized 3-D universes or pocket dimensions when not accounting for any higher dimensions or time. Large numbers of infinite 3-D universes, unless causally closed from one another by a separate spacetime or existence, only count for a higher level of this tier. Being "infinitely" stronger than this level, unless uncountably so, does not qualify for any higher tier. This level of power is often demonstrated by characters who are able to destroy multiple universes with ease.

Characters in this tier possess power on a cosmic scale, and can create and/or destroy celestial bodies with ease. The sub-tiers reflect the size and scope of their abilities, ranging from galaxy level to high universe level. The immense power demonstrated by characters in this tier make them some of the most powerful beings in the Dragon Ball universe, capable of wreaking destruction on an unimaginable scale. The inclusion of sub-tiers based on the space between celestial bodies ensures that characters who can affect a large area of space, rather than just a small cluster of matter, are accurately represented in this tier.

### Tier 2: Multiversal

Tier 2 represents characters or objects with immense power on a multiversal scale. The sub-tiers are based on the size and scope of their abilities to create and/or destroy multiverses, ranging from small multiverses to those comprising an infinite number of separate space-time continuums.

#### 2-C: Low Multiverse Level

Characters or objects that can significantly affect, create and/or destroy small multiverses which can be comprised of several separate space-time continuums ranging anywhere from two to a thousand or equivalents. This level of power is often demonstrated by characters who can destroy several universes or timelines with ease.

#### 2-B: Multiverse Level

Characters or objects that can significantly affect, create and/or destroy larger multiverses which comprise from 1001 to any higher finite amount of separate space-time continuums. This level of power is often demonstrated by characters who can destroy entire multiverses with ease.

#### 2-A: Multiverse Level+

This sub-tier is divided into two categories:

* Multiverse Level+: Characters or objects that are capable of significantly affecting, creating and/or destroying an infinite number of separate space-time continuums. This level of power is often demonstrated by characters who can destroy an infinite number of universes or timelines with ease.
* High Multiverse Level+: Characters or objects that demonstrate the ability to affect or create 5-dimensional constructs to a greater degree than Multiverse Level+. This level of power is often demonstrated by characters who are 5-dimensional and can destroy and/or create constructs beyond the scope of a multiverse.

Characters in this tier are capable of affecting structures beyond the scope of a single universe and can easily destroy or create multiverses. The sub-tiers are based on the size and scope of their abilities to create and/or destroy multiverses.

### Tier 1: Transcendent

Tier 1 represents characters that have surpassed the limitations of all dimensions, including time and space, and can affect structures beyond any scientific definition thereof. These characters possess an indescribable level of power and can manipulate reality at will. They are beyond all dimensional scales and are not bound by the usual concepts of space, time, or dimensionality.

* 1-C: Hyper Multiverse level
	+ Low Hyper Multiverse level (1-C): Characters that are at least 6-dimensional in nature and can easily destroy more than an infinite number of 5-dimensional constructs. This means that even a 6-dimensional character can exceed the scale of an infinite number of 5-dimensional constructs.
	+ Hyper Multiverse level (1-C): Characters that are 7 to 9-dimensional in nature, or ones at an unspecified level, that can exceed the scale of more than infinite numbers of 6-dimensional constructs. This means that even a 7-dimensional character can exceed the scale of more than infinite numbers of 6-dimensional constructs.
	+ High Hyper Multiverse level (1-C): Characters that are 10 to 11-dimensional in nature that can exceed the scale of more than infinite numbers of 9-dimensional constructs. This means that even a 10-dimensional character can exceed the scale of more than infinite numbers of 9-dimensional constructs. Characters in this sub-tier are considered Hyper Multiversal, as they transcend the limitations of a single multiverse and can affect structures beyond any scientific definition thereof.
* 1-B: Ultra-dimensional
	+ Low Ultra-dimensional (1-B): Characters that are at least 12-dimensional in nature, vastly exceeding the Hyper Multiverse level, but are still loosely related to it. These characters are capable of affecting and/or creating structures beyond any scientific definition.
	+ Ultra-dimensional (1-B): Characters that possess a finite number of dimensions greater than 12. They can affect structures that are beyond the scope of lower sub-tiers.
	+ High Ultra-dimensional (1-B): Characters that possess an infinite number of dimensions or any number of dimensions higher than infinity. These characters are capable of creating and/or destroying structures beyond the scope of lower sub-tiers. Characters in this sub-tier are considered Ultra-dimensional, as they transcend the limitations of all lower dimensional structures.
* 1-A: Omni-dimensional
	+ Low Omni-dimensional (1-A): Characters that are beyond all dimensional scale, meaning they are dimensionless or superior to dimensionality as a whole. They are also capable of creating/destroying structures of this magnitude.
	+ Omni-dimensional (1-A): Characters that are transcendent to the concept of dimensionality and can affect structures beyond any scientific definition thereof. They are also capable of creating/destroying structures of this magnitude.
	+ High Omni-dimensional (1-A): Characters/structures that are beyond the scope of all lower sub-tiers. They are capable of dwarfing other things that fit the definition of Omni-dimensional to the same extent that an Omni-dimensional character dwarfs anything below that would fall under this definition. Characters in this sub-tier are considered Omni-dimensional, as they have no dimensional limitations and can affect structures beyond any scientific definition.

Characters in Tier 1 are beyond the conventional power scale and have transcended the limitations of dimensional structures, including time and space. They possess an indescribable level of power and can affect structures beyond any scientific definition thereof. In the Dragon Ball universe, characters in this tier would be considered gods or god-like beings, capable of creating and destroying entire multiverses with ease.

### Tier X: Beyond Boundless

This tier represents the pinnacle of power in fiction and is reserved for characters that have transcended all other levels of power and are beyond the conventional power scale. They can affect structures that completely exceed the logical foundations of High 1-A and Outerverse level to such an extent that using those tiers to categorize them becomes impractical.

Characters in this tier possess an indescribable level of power and can manipulate reality at will. They are beyond all dimensional scales and are not bound by the usual concepts of space, time, or dimensionality. Their power and capabilities are virtually incomprehensible to those in lower tiers and may be considered godlike, omniscient, or omnipotent by those beneath them.

Note that being "omnipotent" or any similar reasoning is not enough to reach this tier on its own; however, such statements can be used as supporting evidence in conjunction with more substantial information.

This tier has no endpoint and can be extended to any higher level just like the ones above. In Dragon Ball, Tier X would be for characters who transcend even the highest levels of power seen in the series, making them beyond all dimensions and universes. They can easily destroy or create multiverses and their power and abilities are practically limitless and beyond comprehension. These characters are so far beyond the baseline of the previous tier that using such tiers to categorize them has become cumbersome.

Characters in this tier are so far beyond the rest of the power scale that their very existence can be considered godlike. The Beyond Boundless and Ultimate Transcendence tier is the ultimate goal for characters in any fictional setting and is rarely achieved.

## Notes

### General

1. The tiers are hierarchical and represent a hierarchy of power levels. Each tier is significantly more powerful than the previous one. The tiers are based on the principle of adhering to infinity in projective geometry and the concept of a Hausdorff dimension, in which each higher spatial dimension is more than inaccessibly greater than the preceding number of any magnitude.
2. The tiering system takes into account factors such as destructive capacity, durability, speed, hax abilities, and energy projection when determining a character's tier. However, raw destructive capacity is not the only consideration, and other abilities can bypass power levels.
3. The various dimensions of the multiverse and the structures that exist within them are key considerations in the tiering system. Additionally, the various planes of existence in the Dragon Ball universe, such as the afterlife and the demon realm, also play a role in determining a character's tier.
4. While being far stronger than a character that belongs to a certain tier does not necessarily qualify one for a higher rating, differences between tiers can be significant. Characters from a higher tier are not necessarily invincible to entities of lower tiers, as certain powers and abilities can potentially bypass the difference in strength entirely.
5. The concept of ki and its various forms are integral to understanding the power levels of characters in the Dragon Ball franchise. The various gods and deities in the Dragon Ball universe possess abilities and power levels that exceed those of mortal characters, adding another layer to the tiering system.
6. Higher-dimensional characters are not capable of directly attacking a lower-dimensional character, but they can harm them via an indirect attack on a higher-dimensional plane. Conversely, lower-dimensional characters may have abilities (high-level quantum manipulation, reality alteration, etc.) which allow them to influence higher-dimensional structures.
7. Due to the fact that the distance between any given number of universes embedded in higher-dimensional / higher-order spaces is currently unknowable, it is impossible to quantify the numerical gap between each one of the subtiers in Tier 2. As such, it is not allowed to upgrade such a character based solely on multipliers.
8. The minimum requirements for certain tiers are arbitrary values and do not necessarily correspond to the destruction of their namesakes in any meaningful fashion. Tiers between 9-A and 3-B, even those which do correspond with their namesakes, should not be assigned unless there are accepted calculations, multipliers, and/or reliably stated precise Joule values that correspond with those ratings. The exceptions are the lower borders of 5-B, 4-C, 4-B, 4-A, 3-C, and 3-B, which can be considered standard calculations for destroying a planet, a star, a solar system, two or more solar systems, a galaxy, and two or more galaxies respectively, and adding those tiers based on those specific feats is allowed.

### Tier 11(Essence)

1. Tier 11 is the lowest tier of the power scaling system and represents the basic essence of a being. This tier is characterized by the existence of the being in question, regardless of any physical form or manifestation.
2. Tier 11-C represents the bare essence of a being, without any form or manifestation. This level is the starting point of all life and existence, and is often considered the most basic form of power.
3. Tier 11-B represents a being's essence taking on a physical form. This can range from simple forms like gas or liquid, to more complex forms like a human body or a planet.
4. Tier 11-A represents a being's essence fully manifesting into a physical form, with all of its abilities and powers fully realized. At this level, a being is fully capable of interacting with the world around them and using their powers to affect their environment.

### Tier 10(Mortal)

1. This tier is for characters who are purely physical beings and lack any special abilities beyond what a normal human could achieve through training and experience.
2. Tier 10-C is for characters who are physically weaker than an average human.
3. Tier 10-B is for characters who possess average physical abilities that an ordinary human could achieve through intense training and conditioning.
4. Tier 10-A is for characters who possess physical abilities that surpass the capabilities of a typical human. These characters have trained their bodies to be peak human specimens and can perform feats beyond normal human limits.

### Tier 9(Structural)

1. Tier 9 is considered to be the lowest level of power that allows for significant physical ability beyond normal human limits.
2. Characters at this level are capable of destroying or damaging small structures, such as buildings or walls, with relative ease.
3. Tier 9 is subdivided into three sub-tiers: 9-C (Street level), 9-B (Barrier level), and 9-A (Small Building level).
4. 9-C is the lowest sub-tier of Tier 9 and represents characters who can destroy or damage things like streetlights, cars, and other small objects found in urban areas.
5. 9-B is the mid sub-tier of Tier 9 and represents characters who can break through barriers such as walls or forcefields, typically encountered in fictional settings such as science fiction and fantasy.
6. 9-A is the highest sub-tier of Tier 9 and represents characters who can destroy or damage small buildings, such as houses or small shops.
7. It's important to note that Tier 9 is a very low level of power compared to the higher tiers, and characters at this level would typically be considered weak or low-level by most fictional universes.

### Tier 8(Urban)

1. This tier represents characters who can destroy buildings and other urban structures, typically with single attacks or in a short period of time.
2. Characters at this tier can cause significant damage to a city block or a group of city blocks, but not an entire city or urban area.
3. The upper end of this tier is also known as Large Building Level, and it represents characters who can destroy large and tall buildings, such as skyscrapers, with relative ease.
4. Characters at this tier can also cause collateral damage to other nearby buildings and structures.
5. Some characters at this tier may also have abilities that can affect the environment and infrastructure of a city or urban area, such as earthquake generation or city-wide energy absorption.
6. This tier is also important in determining the destructive capabilities of many street-level and mid-tier characters, as it provides a baseline for their power and abilities.

### Tier 7(Cataclysmic)

1. Tier 7 is Cataclysmic, encompassing characters with destructive capabilities on a large scale, including cities and mountains.
2. Low 7-C is the starting point for this tier, representing characters with enough power to destroy small towns.
3. 7-C represents characters capable of destroying entire towns.
4. High 7-C represents characters capable of destroying large towns.
5. Low 7-B represents characters capable of destroying small cities.
6. 7-B represents characters capable of destroying entire cities.
7. 7-A represents characters capable of destroying mountains.
8. High 7-A represents characters capable of destroying large mountains or small islands.

### Tier 6(Geologic)

1. Tier 6 is characterized by characters who are capable of manipulating or affecting geological structures on a large scale, such as continents, islands, and planets.
2. Sub-tier 6-C represents characters who are capable of affecting islands, while sub-tier High 6-C represents characters who are capable of affecting large islands.
3. Sub-tier Low 6-B represents characters who are capable of affecting small countries, while sub-tier 6-B represents characters who are capable of affecting entire countries.
4. Sub-tier High 6-B represents characters who are capable of affecting large countries or small continents, while sub-tier 6-A represents characters who are capable of affecting entire continents.
5. Sub-tier High 6-A represents characters who are capable of affecting large continents or multiple continents.
6. It is important to note that the destruction or manipulation of these structures may not necessarily correspond with the destruction of their real-life counterparts, as the rules and physics of different fictional universes may vary.
7. The ability to affect geological structures on this level often requires immense energy output and/or reality warping abilities.

### Tier 5(Celestial)

1. Tier 5 represents characters who are capable of producing destructive forces on the scale of celestial bodies such as moons, planets, and stars.
2. 5-C: Moon level is the lowest sub-tier of Tier 5 and represents characters capable of destroying celestial bodies the size of moons.
3. Low 5-B: Small Planet level represents characters capable of destroying celestial bodies the size of small planets.
4. 5-B: Planet level represents characters capable of destroying celestial bodies the size of Earth or larger planets.
5. 5-A: Large Planet level represents characters capable of destroying celestial bodies the size of gas giants like Jupiter or even larger planets.
6. High 5-A: Dwarf Star level represents characters capable of destroying celestial bodies the size of dwarf stars, which are smaller than regular stars but still massive and highly destructive.
7. It's important to note that the destructive capacity required to reach each sub-tier of Tier 5 is not linear, but rather exponential. For example, the energy required to destroy a planet is much greater than the energy required to destroy a moon, and so on.

### Tier 4(Stellar)

1. Tier 4 is designated for characters and entities capable of destroying or affecting stars, and extends to encompass the power of destroying entire solar systems.
2. Sub-Tier Low 4-C: Small Star Level is designated for characters and entities capable of destroying small stars, such as red dwarfs or brown dwarfs.
3. Tier 4-C: Star Level is designated for characters and entities capable of destroying stars up to and including average sized stars, such as yellow dwarfs.
4. Sub-Tier High 4-C: Large Star Level is designated for characters and entities capable of destroying large stars, such as red giants or blue giants.
5. Tier 4-B: Solar System Level is designated for characters and entities capable of destroying entire solar systems, which typically consists of one star and several planets and other celestial bodies.
6. Tier 4-A: Multi-Solar System Level is designated for characters and entities capable of destroying multiple solar systems at once or affecting an area of space equivalent to that of multiple solar systems.

### Tier 3(Cosmic)

1. Characters in Tier 3 have the power to manipulate and destroy celestial bodies on a galactic scale. They can also control the energy and matter within galaxies.
2. Some examples of characters in this tier include characters who can destroy or manipulate entire galaxies, create and control black holes, or manipulate the fabric of space and time on a galactic scale.
3. The lower end of Tier 3 (3-C) includes characters who can destroy or manipulate individual galaxies, while the higher end (3-A) includes characters who can manipulate and control entire universes.
4. Characters in Tier 3 are typically considered extremely powerful, but still limited in their scope of power compared to higher tiers. They may still have weaknesses or limitations in their abilities.
5. It is important to note that even within Tier 3, there can be significant power differences between characters. For example, a character who can destroy a single galaxy may not necessarily be able to destroy multiple galaxies or manipulate space and time on a universal scale.
6. It is also worth noting that while characters in this tier are extremely powerful, they may not necessarily be invincible. They can still be defeated by characters with abilities that specifically counter their powers, or by exploiting their weaknesses.

### Tier 2(Multiversal)

1. Tier 2 characters are capable of affecting and/or encompassing multiple universes.
2. Sub-Tier 2-C: Low Multiverse Level refers to characters who can affect or interact with a low number of universes (usually less than 100), but are still considered multiversal due to the scale of these universes.
3. Sub-Tier 2-B: Multiverse Level refers to characters who can affect or interact with a large number of universes (usually over 100), but are not omnipotent.
4. Sub-Tier 2-A: Multiverse Level+ refers to characters who are capable of affecting or interacting with an infinite number of universes or an infinitely sized multiverse. These characters are often considered to be among the most powerful in their respective fictional universes.

### Tier 1(Transcendent)

1. This tier represents beings that transcend the concept of space, time, and causality, and are beyond the confines of any universe or multiverse.
2. Characters in this tier possess true omnipotence and can accomplish anything they desire with a mere thought.
3. Beings in this tier are essentially all-powerful and can manipulate reality on a fundamental level, including creating and destroying entire multiverses and rewriting the laws of physics.
4. It is important to note that true omnipotence is not achievable within any fictional universe, as it would render any story or conflict meaningless. As such, any character labeled as "omnipotent" should be viewed as having a very high degree of power, but not necessarily reaching Tier 1.

### Tier X(Beyond Boundless)

1. Tier X is an undefined tier, which represents characters that are beyond the scope of the tiering system. These characters are considered to be beyond any level of power, and possess abilities that transcend all levels of existence and dimensionality.
2. The term "Beyond Boundless" refers to the fact that these characters have transcended the limits of the known universe and any conceivable system of measurement. They are often described as being "omnipotent," possessing infinite power and knowledge, and are capable of manipulating the fabric of reality on a fundamental level.
3. Characters in this tier are extremely rare, and are usually only found in works of fiction that feature gods or other divine beings. They are often used as plot devices or as a means of introducing new and more powerful threats to the story.
4. Due to the fact that Tier X is an undefined tier, there is no clear consensus on what it means or how it should be used. Some argue that Tier X should not be used at all, while others believe that it can be used to represent characters that are beyond the scope of the current tiering system.
5. It is important to note that Tier X should not be used as a means of "scaling up" characters beyond the known limits of the tiering system. Rather, it should be reserved for characters that are truly beyond any known level of power or existence.

## Definitions

Here are some key terms and definitions that are important for understanding our tiering system:

1. Power: The ability to perform physical feats, such as lifting, striking, or blasting.
2. Durability: The ability to withstand physical harm, such as blunt force, piercing attacks, or energy attacks.
3. Speed: The ability to move quickly, react to stimuli, or dodge attacks.
4. Hax: Short for "hacks," which refers to abilities or powers that do not rely on physical force or energy, but rather on unique or unconventional means of affecting reality, such as reality warping, time manipulation, or mind control.
5. Attack Potency: A measure of a character's power, specifically the amount of damage they can deal with their attacks. Attack Potency is often measured in units of energy, such as joules.
6. AP: An abbreviation for "Attack Potency."
7. DC: An abbreviation for "Durability Class," which refers to a character's ability to withstand damage.
8. Speed Class: A measure of a character's speed, often measured in Mach numbers or fractions of the speed of light.
9. Regeneration: The ability to recover from injuries or damage, often measured in levels or tiers of regenerative power.
10. Energy Projection: The ability to project or emit energy attacks, often measured in levels or tiers of energy projection power.
11. Dimensional Tiering: A measure of a character's ability to move or exist in higher dimensions or planes of existence beyond the three dimensions of space and one dimension of time that humans experience.
12. Multiversal: Refers to the ability to exist or operate on a scale beyond a single universe, often measured in levels or tiers of multiversal power.
13. Transcendent: Refers to the ability to exist or operate beyond the boundaries of the known universe or reality, often measured in levels or tiers of transcendent power.

These are some of the most important terms and concepts that are used in our tiering system

## Scaling Guidelines

1. Assign tiers based on the character's maximum capabilities, not their average or usual level of power.
2. Use scaling to determine a character's tier whenever possible. This includes comparing their feats to other characters, as well as statements and implications made within the story.
3. Take context into account when assigning tiers. Some characters may have specific abilities or weaknesses that allow them to perform feats that are normally outside of their tier.
4. Do not assign tiers based solely on the character's physical size or appearance. A small character may be capable of extremely powerful feats, while a large character may not be able to do much damage.
5. When in doubt, err on the side of caution and assign a lower tier. It is better to underestimate a character's power than to overestimate it.
6. Avoid using fan calculations or fan-made power scaling methods. Stick to official sources and statements whenever possible.
7. Remember that tiers are not everything. A character's abilities, skills, and tactics are just as important in determining their effectiveness in a fight.
8. Be open to discussion and feedback. Tiers are not always cut-and-dry, and it is important to consider different perspectives and interpretations.
