In the game there exists the concept of "Power Contest". Ella roughly explains how it works while training Jake.I am interested about how Bernhardt is able to tank non-physical abilities like Nux Death for example? As we saw on Ella example (lvl 5) - it does not matter how awesome regeneration or durability you have because against such "conceptual" powers you would get down with one word
.
Of course Bernhardt could strike first but what if someone would be able to take him by surprise?
So technically even if a person doesn't have an actual defense against these types of abilities, he can still overpower the caster's attack and nulify it, or even cause a feedback if the power differential is too great.
I can't tell if Bernhardt would be capable of completely nullifying Nyx's death ray with a power contest, even if he is supposed to be a more powerful individual, but that interaction is my best guess.
Of course it also depends on how Nyx's attack interacts with the environment, if it's considered elemental / projectile based etc. For example if the death ray works exactly like projectile energy based attacks (like Klaus for example) , then it's probable that Bernhardt can just stop it with his air barrier.
