Precognition

The Monado giving Shulk a vision into the future.

Summary

Precognition the power to perceive future events before they occur. One with the ability can predict possible futures and observe what can happen.

Types

Type 1 - Premonitions: The user gets vague feelings about the future allowing them to know that there is some form of danger that will approach. Examples of this are death sense, where one can tell when one will die, danger intuition where the user senses danger in the immediate future, perceive future in dreams, whether symbolic, direct in meaning or from the perspective of another being, etc. A major weakness with this type is that the users' premonitions are normally vague or are shown through non-combat applicable means.

• Users: Zelda (The Legend of Zelda), Link (Hero of Time), Magus (Chrono Trigger), Force Users (Star Wars), Spider-Man (Marvel Comics)

Type 2 - Analytical Prediction: The user can interpret and predict enemy attacks and react to the incoming attack, brush off or avoid the incoming attacks even from a dead angle. If they possess defensive powers and the attack is coming from behind, the defense power can activate on its own to block the attack. The user, in this case, can not directly see into the future but rather they are so skilled in combat to the point where they can near-flawlessly predict what the opponent will do next. This is less helpful against more sporadic characters that are harder to be read or characters that don't have forms of muscle movements making it harder to read what they'll do next.

• Users: Joseph Joestar (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), Son Goku (Dragon Ball), Link (Hero of the Winds), Garou (One Punch Man), Masks (Tenkuu Shinpan)

Type 3 - Destiny Perception: The user can perceive ones destiny/fate allowing them to know how one's life will carry out it should be noted that users that govern fate shouldn't have this type of precognition as they are the ones deciding one's fate while someone with this ability can not control fate/destiny but only can see how one's fate/destiny is. A major weakness of this is that in some cases the future might be unavoidable due to it being fate.

• Users: Diavolo (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), Time Lords (Doctor Who), Xatu (Pokémon), Coyote (Gunnerkrigg Court), Dynamis (Beyblade)

Type 4 - Temporal Precognition: The user can view not only the future of one timeline but the future of multiple or all timelines allowing them to see every possible possibility that is held. Though this ability isn't helpful if the user's death is throughout all timelines or the one they're viewing is outside of the timestream.

• Users: Doctor Strange (Marvel Cinematic Universe), Garnet (Steven Universe), Yhwach (Bleach), Gilgamesh (Fate/Stay night), Zane (Ninjago)

Type 5 - Perfect Precognition: The user can foresee the exact futures, observe what will happen, and possess knowledge and insight of the events to come, with no mistakes and 100% certainty. Even if the future is changed by someone, it will mean nothing, as even the change in the future was already predicted by the user.

• Users: Shulk (Xenoblade), Sword of Acorns (Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Universe)), Glossaryck (Star Vs. The Forces of Evil), Force Users (Star Wars Legends)
