Before cursing me first read what I meant.

At what Sunny and Nephis will is good at?

Sunny's death will is good at killing. As he has also mentioned that he can even make an entire realm life less with his death will. So, it can destroy life not just from a living being but also from things like soil, plants, mountains, water and many more, converting entire realm into a lifeless place where no one can live, example nightmare desert. Such places are called as hell in book.

Nephis's will is good at burning/destruction, and her burning depends on how intense her desire to burn stuff is, which she can even buff with the true name of passion and make her flames even more destructive through the name of destruction. Now she can make them even burn corruption through the name of corruption. And we have seen in abundance fight that she was literally burning space, time, melting everything and burning the fabric of reality itself.

So, they both are actually good at what their wills are naturally meant to do. Sunny at killing and Nephis at burning and destroying. As it was also shown in vtb fight that their wills were actually working on it. I know it was nerfed, but vtb even in that nerfed condition showed stronger will than moth and condemnation. And I wouldn't doubt that vtb would solo those two even in that condition. It seems if vtb was at top tier cursed terror level earlier then he became a normal cursed terror level after nerf. And till this day we don't know any other sovereign from ancient time who can fight a cursed terror like this.

At what Sunphis will is bad at?

Will can be used for defense like an armor, you can also form things from your will. For example: Azarax was able to form armor and weapons from sand because of his will. Anvil was able to use his will for cutting the world and he was also able to form runic patterns through his will. Will can be used to gain resistance from mind and soul attacks too. Will can be used to improve your presence and make it more oppressive. Will can be used to bend the laws of world, manipulate probability and many more side skills like this.

So, sunphis is bad at doing there will in these additional ways. And these are some techniques which were formed by the generational hard work of ancient sovereigns so basically, they have been taught to use their will for doing these things from young age which was also said by sunny in tomb when he finds out about Daeron.

These skills might not kill your enemy, but they are helpful in cases like normal survivor skills lol, making your enemies attacks miss you and basically creating more resistance and problems for your enemies.

Conclusion:

If we compare sunphis and ancient sovereigns then the main difference comes in skills, or skills of using will in various different ways other than just the one provided by their aspect.

Sunphis is really good at using their wills in the way provided by their aspect which I explained above. Ancient sovereigns were good at using it in the way provided by their aspect and also in various different ways which they got as an inheritance from previous generations and centuries of experience. They were also good at using their wills for defence, in which sunphis lacks, they can use there will in defence too, but it is not on the level on which those ancient sovereigns were.

But the main thing here is that sunphis's innate affinity of their will is insane, more insane then most if not all ancient sovereigns. Like just take azarax for example, his will is about himself, and what is azarax? a conqueror, so his will suppresses his enemies specially in a 1v1 combat. But would his killing intent be as dangerous as sunny's? Definitely no, Death will is insane. Even cursed tyrants like moth and condemnation haven't shown as dangerous killing intent effect as sunny's death will can do. Would Azarax be able to burn/destroy things in as potency as nephis can do(like she can burn space-time, fabric of reality, soul, shadows, body, even corruption now). Definitely not on the level nephis can, bcoz his aspect don't give him those affinities. And for corruption, idt any sovereign in past can even touch it with their will, burning or destroying it would be impossible for them.

So, the point is sunny and nephis both are insane at using their will in their innate affinities provided by their aspects, and since they are divine aspect holders their innate affinities are extremely dangerous and powerful.

Another example, sunny can change the nature of his will through shadow dance and copy other abilities too, so in versatility his will also surpasses most if not all ancient sovereigns, as idek if any past sovereign was able to change the nature of their will to counter their opponents.

One more thing, sunny speculated that because of shadow bond both his and nephis will can fuse with each other, if this is true then there will potency would become even more insane. Imagine Death + Destruction + Longing combination of will lmao. Imo they also kinda need this buff for 5th nm, as knowing fated they are definitely getting jumped by a cursed titan in the 5th nm.
