Well, when you consider that Teresa was able to beat a former number 1 after she awakened to the point said awakened was calling her a monster, and Teresa barely looked winded, and that Pricilla supposedly had more raw power than her it makes a bit more sense. Of course we still don't know what exactly determines how much power a claymore has after she becomes a claymore.

I've always be skeptical about the whole "Priscilla has more potenial" thing I mean yeah she made Teresa work but she beat 80% Priscilla and the awakened #1 with 10% of her yoki. It looked like the reason she was having so much trouble was because she couldn't read Priscilla's moves.

On the other hand Teresa herself seemed worried about what would happen if she met her again so I guess I'm on the fence. Mostly because when the two actually fought their seemed to be a huge gap in power between the two. Plus I kinda doubt that the Organization or Irene had a clue as to how powerful Teresa actually was,(Irene kinda admitted it) #3-#5 were borderline worthless in that fight yet the Organization thought they would help.

So to sum it up I consider Teresa and Priscilla to be on the same general level if they both awakened, they seemed to be Claymores above Claymores.

To be fair Teresa was massively skilled while Priscilla at that time was despite all her power a newbie. She has more raw power than Teresa but Teressa is so much more skilled than her that it doesn't matter, or at least that's the way I understood it.

To sum it up Teresa is badass.

What makes you say Priscilla had more raw power, looked more like the other way around to me?

On this we can agree, I wonder what a fight between awakened Priscilla and Teresa would be like.

Because that's what they were saying.

First, bear in mind most of this is a theory and may or may not be wrong.

Claymore use youki to power themselves. Most of the time they rarely release more than 50% unless in a life or death situation and releasing too much can cause them to awaken.

As far as we know the only thing that can cause a Claymore's youki to increase is almost awakening. Clare and the other Claymores that came close to awakening felt they had more youki after that happened to them.

From what I see it is a Claymore's youki what determines her strength. Of course there are ways around that like the technique Clare uses which focuses all her power in one spot, which means that sufficient skill and control over one's youki can triumph over raw power to a degree.

The organization most likely ranks Claymore's according to both skill and power. Now, I have no idea how they would measure a Claymore's youki but since they are the ones that made them in the first place it is not completely out of the question that they can.

When the organization says Priscilla has more potential that Teressa, I take that to mean that she has more in the way of power, but is still to inexperienced to fully control it. If given sufficient time to practice and gain experience than she probably can surpass Teressa.

Then again there were many things the organization didn't know about Teressa, especially since her supervisor is confirmed to be a spy.

On this we can agree, I wonder what a fight between awakened Priscilla and Teresa would be like.

If it was completely serious Teresa without any distractions I'd give her a fair chance of beating Priscilla more often than not.

That's not what I got out of the fight.

Fair enough, there are alot of unknowns in the Claymore universe.

Pricilla's ownage continues and Claire may not see it now, but her not being able to awaken is a good thing. She would have been killed if she had, now she has a chance to escape, live and get a powerup somehow.

**Ragnorok64** · 03-03-2010, 09:06 AM

So if I'm understanding this correctly Clare focused on powering up her normal self so it would be multiplied in her awakened form? It seems she has a mental block due to guilt.

Focused on speed and skill, actually. She apparently realized that she'd never be able to overpower Priscilla.

Well, yeah. But who didn't see that coming?

**Guy1** · 03-14-2010, 11:54 AM

Well given everything.....Priscilla probably would have kicked the snot out of awakened Claire anyway.
At least now they can get away.

**Lightsnake** · 03-14-2010, 10:45 PM

Important to remember Teresa HID her true power from everyone else. She claimed to the Org. she could never have beaten Rosemary if she'd Awakened...Hell, Teresa didn't even require the ten percent. She just said if she didn't do it every so often, she was worried she'd forget.
As far as loving relationships...Pris and Isley were apparently very close (Riful commented they were genuinely in love after she saw them I believe)....and Helen and Deneve....and Clare and Jean in the past....don't judge me.
