yeah rarebit said that when he runs an admin charachter for the story it the combination of the level and stast (whcih are admin hacked to 60 points each) that give the main characters their ubernes. but this begs the question do they acctually make use of buffs in the conventional sence seeing as there is no clothing to take advantage of the modifiers.
In all honesty, no one should even come close to beating Seraph. I'm surprised Rarebit has let this happen. Considering the fact that: Seraph easily went toe to toe with Neo in the teahouse. Neo defeated Agents with ease. We die by regular Agents in seconds. So in reality we should never even lay a finger on Seraph, but I guess Seraph has gotten soft since the truce.
Seraph was able to hold is own against Neo for at least a little while. Are you saying 0Valiant that you should be able to beat an Exile that had that much combat prowess?
