Standing in the Battledome

The Wild Arms series is a rather impressive series power wise. While it was never been seen as weak (mostly cause no one cared), it is surprisingly strong. The way the series universe is set up, and the way the games are presented, suggest a multiverse for their cosmology. Even so, no one is directly attributed to the creation of this cosmology (it is hinted, but not confirmed). Regardless, the series possess a host of characters that have substantial power.

Power: Within the verse, you are met with characters that are rather impressive in this department. On the lower-end, you have town encompassing storm clouds creation, island transmuting magic and global scale cloud dissipation. Getting a bit higher, you have planet flipping, moon moving, outright planet busting powers (2 from the main characters alone) and supernovas. Once we hit the high notes, you have dimension creation that's host to an innumerable amount of stars, outright galaxy busting and a physical manifestation of a universe.

Speed: Speed is another thing that is pretty impressive, though not at all close to representing their power. You have causal bullet blocking feats, planet exiting speed and characters capable of moving at the speed of lightning (literally!).Other ones have them making trips to the moon and lapping earth

Hax: The series boast a well rounded repetoire in the hax department with stuff like soul erasing, time manipulation, dimension crushing and dumping, spatial manipulation, resurrection, sealing and a host of others
