Psionic Power Levels Chart [Post SC2]

Gradius, what is your reasoning for placing Alarak so far below Malash?

Tell me something VoK: do you know the difference between the levels from the ascendants? Because if you recall, Alarak started off as a 4th Ascendant, not 1st. I'm wondering if Gradius is trying to take that into account or something.

Gradius, what is your reasoning for placing Alarak so far below Malash?

Basically this paragraph from the short story:

The Highlord did not like his tone. "Understand this, Alarak. I felt the full measure of yourpower at the Pits of Ascension. I know how strong you are." The Highlord's hand lashed outand clamped down on Alarak's face, gripping his cheeks just beneath his eyes. Ma'lashroughly lifted Alarak upward, holding him aloft as he had held Nuroka above the pit. Alarakdid not resist. Ma'lash's words came with the force of a meteor storm. "Challenge me, and I 25will crush you. Challenge me, and you will beg me for a death as swift as Nuroka's. Do youunderstand?"

So you consider Artanis' Templar's support as supplicants as the only reason Alarak won?

Pretty much. What do you think?

I'll have to re-read that short story. The only thing I'm going off of now is the Rak'shir mission; Rohana comments that Alarak and Ma'lash are equally matched without supplicants. But of course this could be simple game mechanics.

Why is the hybrid nemesis below the behemoth? I know they don't really have enough info but the behemoth is not exactly famous for psi-attacks, rather brute (probably psi-supported) strength

Reaver, destroyer, nemesis = regular hybrid units
Dominator, Behemoth = super hybrid units

By the way Gradius, since you said it yourself it was dozens of scourge that hurt ulrezaj, you may have to remember that dozens of scourge isn't enough to kill dozens of void rays, carriers, tempests, etc.

Bottom line is it takes more than ONE scourge to kill one ship, something we've all known since SC1. Given that it took dozens (if not more) of Daelaam ships to kill Amon's host body....

Reaver, destroyer, nemesis = regular hybrid units
Dominator, Behemoth = super hybrid units

Then why put the destroyer as the strongest of the 3 regular ones? It does have the weakest stats....

It shouldn't have been. If neither had support, Ma'lash should have been able to push Alarak back, though at a slower rate. Alarak started off as a 4th Ascendant, which would have been a lot lower in power level compared to the 1st ascendant and highlord status...

[Gradius]

I forgot that literally every vessel fired. The in game cinematic makes it look like just the spear, cybros, and a carrier or 2 had actually fired.

Then why put the destroyer as the strongest of the 3 regular ones? It does have the weakest stats....

It's the weakest physically, but it's supposed to be the "psionic" hybrid, which is what this ranking is about.
