Tiering System

## Introduction

This is an explanation of the tiers that occur within this wiki. You can meet the requirements for these levels by being able to destroy items of the size and strength of said level, but you also qualify if you can harm someone who can take attacks of that power.

These are not the final word in how powerful a character is, this is simply the power of their attacks. Speed, intelligence, and hax abilities can just as easily affect a fight. So a character only meets a certain tier if they explicitly show to be on the same level of pure power as others on the tier.

## The Scale

### Tier 11: Miniscule

No joule value available. This tier pertains to characters or objects that can create/destroy or affect the whole structure of a lower-dimensional universe, or lower layers/levels of reality. Please note that existing as a drawing or being made of data/information is not to be ranked at this tier, as such beings are still 3-dimensional, but on an incredibly small scale.

This tier is broken into the following sub-tiers:

#### 11-C: Low Microverse level

Characters or objects that demonstrate power equivalent to destroying/creating a 0-D level construct of any size, or three levels of infinity/degrees of reality/fiction transcendence or similar beneath a 3-D reality. This tier also includes characters who are vastly below this level, and all characters beneath this tier’s requirements in any significant way will still be at this tier.

#### 11-B: Microverse level

Characters or objects that demonstrate power equivalent to destroying/creating an existentially inferior 1-D level construct of any size, or two levels of infinity/degrees of reality/fiction transcendence or similar beneath a 3-D reality.

#### 11-A: High Microverse level

Characters or objects that demonstrate power equivalent to destroying/creating existentially inferior 2-D level constructs of any size, or 1 level of infinity/degree of reality/fiction transcendence or similar beneath a 3-D reality.

### Tier 10: Human

Levels that can be realistically reached in the real world.

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

Characters or objects capable of exerting force comparable to humans who are below the average norm in terms of strength, such as small children, small animals, or elderly people. It should be noted that even creatures as small as a fly would fall under this level.

#### 10-B: Human level

Characters or objects capable of exerting force comparable to that of regular humans, such as teenagers or unathletic adults.

#### 10-A: Athlete level

Characters or objects capable of exerting force comparable to that of more athletic humans, such as trained fighters or generally physically fit individuals.

#### 9-C: Street level

Characters or objects that stand at the threshold of human strength and capabilities, represented by Olympic level athletes or rigorously trained martial artists, as well as larger animals.

It is important to note that, despite being named "Street level", this tier has nothing to do with actually affecting an entire street, with the name being more of a reference to street fighters as portrayed in martial arts movies and the like.

#### 9-B: Wall level

Characters or objects that are stronger than any real world humans can be, and can even go as far as destroying entire walls.

#### 9-A: Small Building level

Characters or objects capable of destroying rooms or entire small constructions such as houses or more modest buildings.

### Tier 8: Urban

#### 8-C: Building level

Characters or objects that can destroy medium-sized buildings and constructions, such as large factories or large complexes such as supermarkets.

#### High 8-C: Large Building level

Characters or objects that can destroy large buildings such as skyscrapers.

#### 8-B: City Block level

Characters or objects that can destroy urban city blocks or equivalent areas of space.

#### 8-A: City District level

Characters or objects that can destroy an entire City District or equivalent areas of space.

### Tier 7: Nuclear

#### Low 7-C: Small Town level

Characters or objects that can destroy a small town or settlement.

#### 7-C: Town level

Characters or objects that can destroy a town.

#### 7-B: City level

Characters or objects that can destroy a city.

#### 7-A: Large City level

Characters or objects that can destroy a large city.

### Tier 6: Tectonic

Characters or objects that can destroy a large island.

#### Low 6-B: Small Country level

Characters or objects that can destroy a small country.

#### 6-B: Country level

Characters or objects that can destroy a country.

#### High 6-B: Large Country level

#### High 6-A: Multi-Continent level

Characters or objects that can destroy multiple continents.

### Tier 5: Planetary

#### 5-C: Moon level

Characters or objects that can destroy a moon.

#### Low 5-B: Small Planet level

Characters or objects that can destroy a small planet.

#### 5-B: Planet level

#### 5-A: Large Planet level

Characters or objects that can create/destroy large ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune.

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

Characters or objects that can create/destroy very small stars.

### Tier 4: Stellar

#### Low 4-C: Low Mass Star level

Characters or objects that can create/destroy small stars.

#### 4-C: Star level

Characters or objects that can create/destroy a star.

#### High 4-C: Massive Star level

Characters or objects that can create/destroy a large star.

#### 4-B: Solar System level

Characters or objects that can create/destroy a solar system.

#### 4-A: Multi-Solar System level

Characters or objects that can create/destroy multiple solar systems.

### Tier 3: Cosmic

This tier is broken into the following sub-tiers:

#### 3-C: Galaxy level

Characters or objects capable of creating and/or destroying a galaxy, when the space between celestial bodies is taken into account, as opposed to merely the matter encompassed by them.

#### 3-B: Multi-Galaxy level

Characters or objects capable of creating and/or destroy multiple galaxies when the space between celestial objects is taken into account as well.

#### 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 via an omnidirectional explosion that covers the entire space, alternately create or significantly affect a 3-D universe or a pocket dimension of comparable size, which does not involve the destruction and/or creation of space-time.

#### 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 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.

### Tier 2: Multiversal

#### Low 2-C: Universe level+

Characters or objects that are capable of significantly affecting, creating, and/or destroying an area of space qualitatively larger than an infinitely-sized 3-dimensional space. Common fictional examples of spaces representing such sizes are space-time continuums (the entire past, present and future of 3-dimensional space) of a universal scale. However, it can be more generally fulfilled by any 4-dimensional space that is either:

**A)** Equivalent to a large extra dimensional space. That is, a higher-dimensional "bulk" space which embeds lower-dimensional ones (Such as our universe) as subsets of itself, whose dimensions are not microscopic / compactified.

**B)** Portrayed as completely transcending lower-dimensional objects and spaces in the setting of a given work of fiction.

#### 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.

#### 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.

#### 2-A: Multiverse level+

Characters or objects that are capable of significantly affecting, creating and/or destroying a countably infinite number of separate space-time continuums.

### Tier 1: Extradimensional

Characters or objects that can significantly affect spaces of qualitatively greater sizes than our 3 dimensional universe, usually represented in fiction by higher levels or states of existence (Or "levels of infinity", as referred below) which trivialize everything below them into insignificance, normally by perceiving them as akin to fictional constructs or something miniscule.

#### Low 1-C: Low Complex Multiverse level

Characters or objects that can universally affect, create and/or destroy spaces with 4 or 5 spatial dimensions.

#### 1-C: Complex Multiverse level

Characters or objects that can universally affect, create and/or destroy spaces with 6 to 8 spatial dimensions.

#### High 1-C: High Complex Multiverse level

Characters or objects that can universally affect, create and/or destroy spaces with 9 to 11 spatial dimensions.

#### 1-B: Megaverse level

Characters or objects that can universally affect, create and/or destroy spaces with 12 or any higher finite numbers of infinite spatial dimensions.

#### High 1-B: High Megaverse level

Characters or objects that can universally affect, create and/or destroy structures whose size is equivalent to a countably infinite number of qualitative number of spatial dimensions, usually represented in fiction by endless hierarchies of layers of existence, each succeeding one completely trivializing the previous into insignificance, or more generally a space with countably infinite dimensions.

### 1-A: Transcendent

Characters or objects that functionally transcend the rest of the Tiering System. These characters are completely transcendent to even those that have absolute power over a single infinite hierarchy of levels of infinity.

#### Low 1-A: Low Outerverse level

Characters or objects that can affect structures with a number of dimensions greater than the set of natural numbers, meaning in simple terms that the number of dimensions is aleph-1 (An uncountably infinite number, assumed to be the cardinality of the real numbers themselves), and therefore that such objects fully exceed **High 1-B** structures, which have only a countably infinite number of dimensions.

Note that, if the **High 1-B** structure in question is a hierarchy of levels of existence, then simply being at the top of such a hierarchy does not qualify a character for this tier without more context, and an additional layer added on top of the "infinity-th" level of this hierarchy is likewise not enough. To qualify as an equivalent of the above description, they need to surpass the hierarchy as a whole, and not simply be on another level within it.

#### 1-A: Outerverse level

Characters or objects beyond the concept of dimensionality. This also equals a level that completely exceeds **Low 1-A** structures to the same degree that they exceed **High 1-B** and below. This can be extrapolated to larger cardinal numbers as well, such as aleph-3, aleph-4, and so on, and works in much the same way as **1-C** and **1-B** in that regard. Characters that stand an infinite number of steps above baseline **1-A** are to have a **+** modifier in their Attack Potency section (**Outerverse level+**).

#### High 1-A: High Outerverse level

Characters or objects that can affect structures that are larger than what the logical framework defining **1-A** and below can allow, and as such exceed any possible number of levels contained in the previous tiers, including an infinite or uncountably infinite number. Practically speaking, this would be something completely unreachable to any **1-A** hierarchies.

A concrete example of such a structure would be an inaccessible cardinal, which in simple terms is a number so large that it cannot be reached ("accessed") by smaller numbers, and as such has to be "assumed" to exist in order to be made sense of or defined in a formal context (Unlike the standard aleph numbers, which can be straightforwardly put together using the building blocks of set theory). Even just the amount of infinite cardinals between the first inaccessible cardinal and aleph-2 (Which defines **1-A**) is greater than cardinals such as aleph-0, aleph-1, aleph-2, aleph-3, etc., and even many aleph numbers whose index is an infinite ordinal.

### Tier 0: Boundless

Characters or objects that can affect structures which completely exceed the logical foundations of **High 1-A**, much like it exceeds the ones defining **1-A** and below, meaning that all possible levels of **High 1-A** are exceeded, even an infinite or uncountably amount of such levels. This tier has no endpoint, and can be extended to any higher level just like the ones above.

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

## **Notes**

**Note 1:**

Because 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. For example, someone twice as strong as a Low 2-C character would still be Low 2-C, and someone infinitely more powerful than a 2-C would not be 2-A.

**Note 2:**

Keep in mind that certain tiers do not necessarily correspond to the destruction of their namesakes in any meaningful fashion. This is because the minimum requirements for these tiers are arbitrary values.

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, as many verses can have their own context result in these feats being above or below their namesakes. The exceptions are that the lower borders of **5-B**, **4-C**, **4-B**, **4-A**, **3-C**, and **3-B** 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.

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 "Significantly affect" is here used as an umbrella term for feats that don't involve direct creation or destruction but are comparable to them in power, such as warping and distorting the entirety of the structure in question, sustaining its existence with energy, merging the structure with another one, etc.
