Attack Potency

## Destructive Capacity (DC)

Destructive Capacity is the term used to determine the amount of damage a character can produce.

### Attack Potency

An alternative word for **Destructive Capacity** which has more direct meaning. It literally means the amount of DC an attack can produce or is comparable to.

A character with a certain degree of attack potency can not necessarily cause destructive feats on that level, but can cause damage to characters that can withstand such forces.

## Information

If you wish to know the equivalent prefix for a particular exponential value, please see this page.

A Foe is a unit used to measure the energy released by a supernova, and is equivalent to 10^44 Joules.

## Explanations

### Standard sizes

* **Moon level:** Earth's satellite Moon.
* **Planet level:** The Earth.
* **Dwarf Star level:** Brown Dwarf star (OTS 44).
* **Star level:** The Sun.

The value for 4-B and above are obtained from here. The calc assumes that the blast is omni-directional (spherical), as is generally the case in most fictional occurrences, and that the energy output is sufficient to destroy the entirety of the cosmic structure.

* **Solar System level:** The star system known as the Solar System.
* **Multi-Solar System level:** Instead of doubling the value of Solar System level, the distance between two such systems needs to be accounted for as well. A calc for energy required to destroy two solar systems was done, with the following assumptions:
	+ Distance between them as the minimum distance between Sun and the next closest star, the Alpha Centauri.
	+ A spherical blast, strong enough to obliterate the contents of both solar systems at the same time.
	+ Hence, the value obtained is the energy required to destroy two solar systems at a realistic distance.
* **Galaxy level:** The Milky Way galaxy
	+ Galaxies in fiction tend to be destroyed completely, not dissociated. Hence, it is far more logical to index a common occurrence of compete obliteration instead of an obscure one like dissociation.
	+ We have a different interpretation regarding black holes. Simply put, we disagree with the premise of utilization of black holes for energy outputs, primarily because black holes rarely follow any scientific logic whatsoever.
* **Multi-Galaxy level:** Instead of doubling the value of Galaxy level, the distance between two galaxies needs to be accounted for as well. A calc for energy required to destroy two galaxies was done with the assumptions:
	+ Distance between them as the minimum distance between Mily Way Galaxy and the next closest similar-sized galaxy, the Andromeda galaxy.
	+ A spherical blast, strong enough to obliterate the contents of both galaxies at the same time.
	+ Hence, the value obtained is the energy required to destroy two galaxies at a realistic distance.

### Omitted levels

* **Small Moon level:** While most other tiers have been into 3 sub-tiers, Moon level does not have Small Moon level due to the existence of Multi-Continent level. Simply put, the two intersect, and Multi-Continent level is more far more common than Small Moon.
* **Small Galaxy level:** Same reason as the one for Small Moon level, with the tier clashing with Multi-Solar System level instead.
* **Large Galaxy level:** Large Galaxy level was omitted because unlike planets, galaxies in fiction rarely specify the size of said galaxy, and instead go from galaxy to multiple galaxies. As such, a "Large Galaxy level" rating would not only be confusing, but also redundant.
* **Universe level:** This level is omitted because of an insufficient amount of data to calculate the energy requirement.
* **Higher Dimensional levels:** These levels are not listed because they are not restricted to the same parameters for energy requirement. The energy for such levels cannot be calculated.

### Additional terms

**"+" symbol**

Currently misused to an extraordinary degree, this should be made use of to indicate a character being in the high end of a tier.
Example: 4 tons should be listed as Large Building level (being closer to low end of the particular tier), while 8 tons should be listed as Large Building level+ (being closer to high end of the particular tier).

#### **High**

Currently used to denote high end of a particular tier, it will here-on no longer be utilized in that manner. "High" will be utilized only if the instance matches with the Attack Potency chart.
Example: If a character is in the upper range of a tier such as Solar System level, said character will be listed as "Solar System level+", not "High Solar System level".

#### **Low**

Currently used to denote low end of a particular tier, it will here-on no longer be utilized in that manner. "Low" will be utilized only if the instance matches with the Attack Potency chart.
Example: There should be no usage of "Low 7-A", because it does not correspond with the Attack Potency chart.

#### **"At least"**

Should be used to denote the lower cap of a character, if the exact value is indeterminate.

#### **"At most"**

Should be used to denote the higher cap of a character, if the exact value is indeterminate.

#### **"Likely"**

Should be used to to list a hypothetical statistic for a character, but inconclusive due to lack of feats or viable power-scaling. Probability of said hypothetical statistic should be favourable.

#### **"Probably"**

Should be used to to list a hypothetical statistic for a character, but inconclusive due to lack of feats or viable power-scaling. Probability of said hypothetical statistic should also be indeterminate.
