[@Fallenreaper]Well, I was mainly referring to the ones that I had mentioned. It would take time to cut through a city block's worth of metal.

Unless it's metal or can be affected by magnetism, she can't really influence the laser really. This is a point I was trying to make that even if your PC is at a higher level, the field, opponent, and much more can influence how the battle comes out. 

Your Mech PC has a disadvantage with Rach only because of her metal manipulation and magnetism. Icarus does as well due to his being metal, though it's alien metal and she hasn't absorbed the knowledge from it. 

Unless your mech got some sort of alloy that isn't earth base, which she can still manipulate but needs to 'absorb' knowledge putting her at risk, then it will be much harder. Long range might be an issue but the laser has to hit to actually be a threat, else it's just tearing up stuff around her until it manages to hit. 

Against PCs who don't use metal like Achane, Justine (if Racheli didn't have knowledge over her sword metal), Icon, and ect, she would have difficulties because her advantage is gone. Her focus would be split between locating and manipulating mental, alongside seeking her target.  

If she has no metal to manipulate or alter, her odds of winning ends up becoming rather... grim.
