Thanks for the reply.

If I understand you correctly, the basis of your argument for characters being so powerful is that they can fight universe- and multiverse-level enemies. I don't think this means they must be that powerful. I think of XX-class Apoptosis as something like a massive machine that extends tiny pieces of itself into universes to influence them. These components are relatively fragile (as shown when the Lilith Sisters and Seraphs combined repeatedly kill Adramelech) but can be easily replaced by the overall machine (hence Adramelech's resurrections, which is why they couldn't stop her from destroying the universe). To use an analogy, a car can break through a brick wall at full speed, but it depends on four wheels in contact with the ground to move, and the rubber tyres of these wheels are relatively easy to pop compared to the steel of the car's body. In Sonya's case specifically, there's also the possibility that she was subconsciously holding back against Luka and co.

About Luka's (and others') list of abilities, while it is true that Luka can learn all of these things, it isn't possible for him to actually use them all at once due to limited points to allocate (unless you hack the game). So there should probably be a note somewhere explaining this.
