Power Advantage

The Power Level system serves as a crucial determinant of a player's effectiveness in Combat. Once a player equips a full set of gear that reaches the maximum Power Level, they gain a significant advantage in most Activities in the game. This empowers them to tackle a broad spectrum of challenges with heightened efficiency and effectiveness.
However, the strategic depth of NEXUS lies in the intentional inclusion of activities with a set Power Level that surpasses the established maximum. In these instances, players find themselves intentionally handicapped, creating an environment where skill take precedence over raw statistical power.

Level Advantage

The complex calculation of Power Level's impact on combat involves an assessment of both offensive and defensive capabilities. When facing Enemies with a higher Power Level, players will find their attacks less potent while being more susceptible to incoming damage. Conversely, when facing foes with a lower Power Level, players enjoy a proportional advantage by dealing more damage while being more resilient.

Challenge

This system ensures that the challenge of the game remains dynamic and adaptive, encouraging players to refine their skills rather than solely relying on the sheer strength of their gear. The balance between Power Levels introduces an element of strategy for every encounter, making each more nuanced and encouraging players to diversify their approaches.
The calculation for damage dealt and received based on the Power Level difference involves a dynamic formula based on numerous live factors.
