Is enhancement the strongest nen type?
>enhancers can have hatsus just as strong as the other nen types if not stronger, but enhancement level makes you stronger when using nen even outside of your hatsu
>has the highest nen percentage total of all types except specialization, but specialization sucks because it only has 40% enhancement efficiency
no, manipulation is
specialist is strongest
Specialist is the strongest type, but most of the strongest nen users (Gon, Netero) are natural Enhancers.
Specialist for the asspull abilities will always be king
>strongest nen users
>Gon
what did he mean by this?
How strong specialization is entirely dependent on what the hatsu itself is. iirc specialists are unique in that they don't really choose their own nen abilities but are stuck with whatever they have. If they're stuck with an ability that doesn't have a lot of combat utility like neon then they're kind of screwed since not only is their hatsu weak but their close combat abilities will be weak as well. Not every specialist is Chrollo.
On the other hand enhancers will always have their inherent strength to fall back on even if their hatsu is shit.
Physically enhancement would be the strongest. The thing about nen you have to remember is that the abilities are not all based around fighting, which is why arguing over "useless abilities or "which type is stronger" because you're approaching it from a combat standpoint.
Enhancement-Emission
Is there a stronger combination for combat? You master both close quarters and long range combat.
Specialist for scenarium plating
transmutation because you can add qualities to your enhancement
Wouldn't an enhancer be just as strong as an emitter when firing simple aura projectiles? Their projectiles would lose more power compared to an emitter, but an enhancer would be stronger to begin with. They'd still be worse than an emitter when using more complex stuff like nen beasts and teleportation though.
If it's just a fight using fundamentals Enhancers win 9 times out of 10 assuming they're both nen masters and at the same level.
Once abilities and gimmicks come into play, it's anyone's guess.
How do you guys feel about conjurers/manipulators?
Personally I feel like they're kinda cucked in the sense that they have to make up for power with extra conditions just to beef up their abilities.
Also due to the nature of their category they often end up with abilities that usually have just one function compared to the versatility that enhancers, transmuters and emitters get to have.
Maybe someone can change my mind? I do like conjurers/manipulators the most since they have pretty creative powers.
the way they explained it is if you're an enhancer, it takes more aura to achieve an emission technique of the same effectiveness of an emitter. So logically it would be better to use enhancement attacks since they require less aura to be effective
Conjurers are cucked because they have to expend aura to conjure their object, so they start off with less aura compared to another nen user of same level right off the bat. Then they have to add all sorts of rules and limitations to bridge that inherent disadvantage, which usually means that they're only strong in certain situations. Kind of plays into how nen increasingly becomes more specialized as you go down the nen wheel. Conjuration has an advantage when conjuring a very large object that's impractical to carry or a large quantity of objects.
If Kurapika was an enhancer he could just carry a chain with him and have the same abiltiies, except better. Might not have been able to develop emperor time then though. You could argue that if he was stronger he wouldn't have needed it.
transmutation
If Meruem was an enhancer he would have been able to tank poor man's rose and survive the poison.
Yeah, Enhancement is the strongest simply because a gun can kill all the other types, but not an enhancer.
but then he would never get his post nuke power-up
>iirc specialists are unique in that they don't really choose their own nen abilities but are stuck with whatever they have
Specialists very much can choose their nen ability but we have two examples of specialist who make up their ability subconsciously.
a lot of good that does him while dead
>If Kurapika was an enhancer he could just carry a chain with him and have the same abiltiies
wrong
Emission is the best because of how losely explained it is, making it the most versatile.
>teleportation (Kurapika said so)
>creating portals (pirate boxer)
>mind paralizy (melody)
>interrogation (lynch)
>nen beasts (razor)
>sealing nen (knuckle)
>the strongest attack of the whole manga (zero hand, Meruen's unamed nen blast)
Not to count it is next to enchancer and manipulator, so they have great offensive powers and han use the manipulation hax well enough. Seriously, name one better nen type than emission, there is none, people say specialization, but most specialists are shitter, Chrollo is an exeption.
Pretty much this, if your want a hatsu that is not attached to your body it can fall into emission, the definition is way to broad
Manipulation is objectively the best category. Besides the obvious advantage of being able to control people, you can do shit like manipulate poisonous gas into people's orifices. Tank that, enhancer-kun.
>>mind paralizy (melody)
>>interrogation (lynch)
>>nen beasts (razor)
>>sealing nen (knuckle)
All of these incorporate manipulaton, which is the actual best category. But emission is a close second best.
Don't you need to actually conjure shit before being able to manipulate it?
No, you can manipulate real ojects not made of nen, like Morel does with smoke
Isn’t that one guy with his own pocket dimension also an emitter?
No, Knov is a conjurer, but there are emiters with similar powers
Melody's technique is pure emission, somehow, you are right about razor and knuckle, lynch is unconfirmed.
He wouldn't have survived the poison by being an enhancer. Poison would have killed Uvogin.
Morel's smoke is made from his aura. But yes, you can still manipulate real things. We've seen people control blood, hair, dogs,
>Melody's technique is pure emission
Being able to paralyze people and force them to see visions seems like it's a manipulation overlap. Memory related stuff has already been confirmed the domain of manipulators and specialists in Pakunoda's case.
Anyone using a pocket dimension is using conjuration and emissions. Conjuration makes the space, emissions handles sending people to the space itself since it's disconnected from reality.
>less than a year of training
>better than adults with decades of experience
Gon has the potential to become stronger than Meruem, speedreader-san.
>Being able to paralyze people and force them to see visions seems like it's a manipulation overlap. Memory related stuff has already been confirmed the domain of manipulators and specialists in Pakunoda's case.
I agree that it would make more sense, but Togashi breaks his own rules all the time
Asspull and super high power level abilities are always the most popular.
>Time stopping guy kills everyone because they literally can't defend themselves.
>Until he meets Chad the mighty because he can't break through Chad's mighty defence and got squished in one hit when his power ran dry.
Long range gets an honourable mention due to the modern gun meta making writers think that bullets can shoot through anything including tank tier muscle and probably time as well.
At his absolutest strongest Pitou said that "his claws could reach the king". Being stronger than him is your headcanon, plus, his potential doesn't matter since he got writen out of the story
