[split] Quick questions

[Ms. Marvel]

A sword with area shield, a proper move. I said nothing about not having it.

You said you couldn't deflect a fireball with a sword. I cite canons that do just that, or with less.

The question asked if you need Area Shield Proficiency and you said you can't do it with a sword.

2+2 = 4 but so does 1 + 3. Having the higher tech and speed is the best way to counter and defend, but in cases where you don't have the advantage, having a move and the Area Shield Prof is the next best option.

Doesn't matter what your canon is, without the advantage in tech and speed, your sword shouldn't be deflecting all that much and to a character like this, in order to deflect something with any degree of success, you would need the move and Shield Area Prof. Make sense?

Guys, what Minato said is very important. It does NOT matter what your character was capable of in their canon, the only thing that matters is what is capable in the Omniverse. Goku could punch through fireballs in canon, but without the proper stats/moves/powers/prof he wouldn't be able to do so here.
