The Tiers of Godhood are a complicated thing. Each Tier represents a toolset a god can achieve at different Tiers. It also represents the power of a god. But does it?
Could it only represent the potential power of a god, rather than actual?
We do know that it is not clear cut when it comes to power as a lower Tier can defeat a higher Tier. We know that the Elders in Tier 1 are powerful in the extreme. but could it be their toolset that makes up a bulk of the "power" as that word is not that clear in this situation. They may very well have a lot of raw potential and be practically unkillable. But that could still be down to their T1 abilities, rather than sheer strength.
In short. Tiers are not the full story of how a god would fare both on and off the battlefield. And certainly not a clear divider between the gods. Otherwise a T3 would easily wipe the floor with everyone below them, solving any god war in short order.
Just look at Tuska. Massively powerful. in fact probably more powerful than any of the gods of Gielinor, alive and dead. But only due to a unique Anima Shield that protected against Divine energy. But she had them all on the run for a long time. Tier 4. Which shows that where someone is on the Tiers does not automatically confer an advantage.
So it would seem that the Tiers closer represent a skill set, like levelling up in a skill, than it does anything else.
What is your take on it?
Opinions, ideas and cookies welcome!
The purpose of adventure is to shine light into dark places,
Poke monsters with a sharp stick, Then steal anything that isn't nailed down!
