Power Scaling.com
A Tiering System is a shorthand explanation of comparing characters’ feats of strength and power by displaying them in alpha numeric tiers. These tiers are then designated and differentiated by relevant criteria such as joule values, universes, or dimensions.
The purpose of a Tiering System is simply a convenience when discussing the subject of broadly categorizing the strength of characters. As it would be much easier to say someone is “X Level” then to give an exact joule or energy value
DISCLAIMER
This page assumes that the reader understands that these categories are meant to specifically tier AP/DC, and the potency of some Hax. If none of these terms are familiar to you, please visit the linked pages that explain them in great detail.
Characters placed in the same tier aren’t necessarily equal or relative in power. As stated previously these tiers have a broad range. Although lower tiers have ranges with finite values, which makes it much easier to quantify a difference in power. However when we go beyond those tiers it becomes way more broad and harder to quantify. So it’s important to have the full context of both characters and what feats they displayed before we assume they’re relative and/or equal in power.
Being in a higher tier doesn’t automatically mean you will always beat a lower tier character. It’s not always a game of who hits harder, many different factors are considered when discussing a vs battle. Such as speed, Hax, and various other abilities that could end the fight before a punch lands. So keep that mind.
Also, most of the Tiering System is originally based on older versions of the Character Stats and Profile Fandom Wiki Tiering System. However, due to this site's disagreements with the current definitions of higher tiers and the ongoing changes within CSAP's guidelines, our definitions and standards differ. See the Tiering System Explanation page for further clarification on these changes.

-
High Universe/High Intraverse level ("High 3-A"): Characters who have an infinite power or display Infinite 3D Attack Potency, a lot of infinite energy statements would be a good example for this tier.
​

As another example, an entire timeline would often include the entire 4-dimensional vector space.

Characters that have no dimensional limitations. Basically, a being or an object which is above and beyond dimensional measure.
This category is separated in the following manner:
-
Low Outerverse level: Characters that are beyond all dimensionality, as well as characters capable of significantly affecting things that are also beyond dimensionality.
​​
-
Outerverse level: Characters that are beyond the concept of space/the form from which all of space is cut from
- Important Note: The term concept is not inherently impressive. When we use the term, it's meant to be as we define "the form from which all of space is cut from." ​​​
​
-
High Outerverse level: Characters that dwarf other things that fit the definition of Outerverse level to the same extent that an Outerverse level character dwarfs anything below their tier, as well as characters capable of significantly affecting things at this scale.
​
1-S: Extraverse level
Characters who exist so far beyond the baseline of Outerverse level and High Outerverse level that using such tiers to categorize them has become cumbersome. This tier is intended to be used for talking about some of the largest and/or strongest things that have been found in fiction, and is not something that should be seen as the next new thing to try to put characters at.
This tier is currently occupied by the following category:
-
Extraverse level: Characters who can significantly affect things which would have their "size" expressed as infinity on a scale where 1 is baseline Outerverse level and 2 is baseline High Outerverse level. Like with High 1-B, this tier extends outward to any number beyond countable infinity, and in rare cases it may even expand past the point where the aforementioned analogy is not enough to convey the full scope of the character/structure.​
