Main summary
Key takeaways
Strongest inFAMOUS Conduits
The video compares the strength of inFAMOUS conduits by considering their powers, destructive potential, and effectiveness in a fight. The Beast (John White) and the protagonists are excluded: the Beast is treated as an overwhelming force of nature, while the protagonists are difficult to rank because they ultimately prevail. Kessler is included despite being a version of Cole, since his powers manifest differently.
- Kessler: His mental projections, teleportation or short bursts of super-speed, time travel, and unusual white lightning make him powerful. However, the video argues that his combat abilities seem limited, possibly because he was permanently injured by his journey through time. His teleportation is more useful defensively, and he often has to rest after using his powers.
- Sasha: Her tar lets her control Reapers and seemingly connect them through a hive mind. She can also communicate over long distances, move through tar, and attack with it. The video suggests that her mind control and ability to strike from a distance could make her a match for Kessler in the right circumstances.
- Celia Pendergast: In Second Son’s Paper Trail missions, Celia demonstrates paper armor, fast movement by transforming into paper, and paper projectiles. Her abilities seem versatile, but there is too little evidence to know how far they extend, so she receives an honorable mention rather than a high ranking.
- Bloody Mary: In Festival of Blood, she can communicate telepathically, turn people into minions, and fly as a swarm of bats. Her dependence on blood and vulnerability to sunlight are major weaknesses. The video also notes that she is a fictional creature from Zeke’s story.
- Joseph Bertrand: His monster form is formidable, but creating minions appears to require a lengthy process and particular subjects. The video argues that intelligence and tactics could matter more than raw strength—for example, luring Bertrand into a trap rather than trying to overpower him.
- Alden: His control of scrap metal lets him reshape battlefields, throw vehicles such as buses, and destroy structures, including a bridge. He is identified as one of the strongest contenders, with enough raw destructive power to challenge the eventual winner.
- Eugene Sims: His video powers can summon angels and demons, create a digital realm, and transform him into the Dweller. His creations can also scout and locate targets. The main limit is Eugene himself: his fear and reluctance to fight keep him from realizing his potential.
- Nix and Kuo: Nix is presented as the more impressive of the two, with napalm attacks, summoned monsters, and tar. Kuo’s ice powers may be stronger than the video gives them credit for, but the speaker sees less evidence of her abilities.
- Augustine: The final and strongest pick. Her concrete powers let her create bridges, collapse structures, transform into different monsters, and attack with concrete shards that can slowly consume a victim. The concrete around her provides an enormous, dependable power source. The video also notes that her ability to suppress other conduits with concrete restraints seems unusually powerful, but treats that as potentially overpowered writing rather than the main basis for her ranking.
Conclusion
Augustine is named the strongest conduit considered, though Alden is a close competitor. Celia is judged the weakest based on what is shown, while acknowledging that her unknown capabilities could change the assessment. The video’s broader point is that power depends not only on destructive force, but also on tactical intelligence, limitations, and a conduit’s willingness to use their abilities.
