Power level

Power level (PL) is a general assessment of the combat effectiveness of a certain character or object, based on a set of criteria. Due to the impossibility of developing an ideal system for determining strength, which would simultaneously take into account all existing subtleties and nuances (speed, strength, versatile abilities and their compatibility), the fundamental criterion is destructive potential (as a combination of power and scale), which, nevertheless, is not the only and prerequisite for assigning a level.

## List of levels:

Level 10 is a tier for characters or objects that essentially have the power of ordinary people and their common hand weapons, allowing at best to destroy walls. Anyone who is inferior even to the average unarmed person also belongs to the low bar of this level.

* General characteristic: Up to wall level

* Optimal speed limit: Supersonic

Level 9 is a tier for characters or objects that can have destructive effects on buildings of ordinary size, as well as natural objects comparable to them, such as boulders and relatively small rock formations.

* General characteristic: From building level to large building level
* Optimal speed limit: High hypersonic (low two-digit Mach numbers)

Level 8 is a tier for characters or objects that can have devastating effects on exceptionally large buildings, urban areas and even entire towns, as well as comparable natural objects, from rocks to small mountain structures.

* General characteristic: From rock level to town level
* Optimal speed limit: High hypersonic (low three-digit Mach numbers)

Level 7 is a tier for characters or items that can have devastating effects on full-fledged cities and mountains.

* General characteristic: From town level to city level
* Optimal speed limit: High hypersonic (high three-digit Mach numbers)

Level 6 is a tier for characters or objects capable of having destructive effects on large areas or even the entire surface of the planet as a whole, as well as destroying small celestial bodies, such as small satellites.

* General characteristic: From country level to continent level
* Optimal speed limit: Sub-relativistic to relativistic

Level 5 is a tier for characters or objects that can have destructive effects on large satellites and planets.

* General characteristic: From the level of a planetoid to the level of a major planet
* Optimal speed limit: Supersonic

Level 4 is a tier for characters or objects that can have destructive effects on the stars and galaxies, as well as their clusters.

* General characteristic: From the level of a small star to the level of a galactic cluster
* Optimal speed limit: Many times faster than light or infinite

Level 3 is a tier for characters or items that can have destructive effects on single or multiple universes.

* General characteristic: From the level of the metagalaxy to the level of the multiverse
* Optimal speed limit: Endless or absent

Level 2 is a tier for characters or objects that can have destructive effects on full-fledged multiverse and multidimensional structures of different orders.

* General characteristic: From the level of the multiverse to the level of the metaverse
* Optimal speed limit: Absent

Level 1 is a tier for extremely powerful characters or objects that can have destructive effects on full-fledged metauniverses, the scale of which is not limited by the number of coordinate axes or the concept of dimension in general, with no upper bar at all.

* General characteristic: Metaverse level
* Optimal speed limit: Absent

Unknown power level is a tier for characters or objects whose power level and baseline indicators are completely unknown or cannot be accurately determined for some reason. This category is set when there is a significant difference in the range of possible characteristics of the characters.
