Etymology

Teresa's and Clare's datasheets name this ability in Yoma War Record I. The manga and anime describe only.

Description

Teresa's sensing potential (baseline rated S in Yoma War Record I) enables her sensing technique (Detailed Yoma Energy Sensing) that predicts the "unpredictable" (Quicksword).

Unknown if the Claymore series ever shows Teresa using this ability, since she defeats Priscilla and the purge team without using it or any other special ability or technique.

History

Teresa

See Detailed Yoma Energy Sensing.

Clare

Clare (baseline rated C+) inherited a weaker version of Preemptive Sensing from Teresa.

From the time of her encounter with Priscilla, Clare has prepared to fight awakened beings. During the Paburo hunt, Miria notices this.

Ability is on much reduced scale compared to Teresa's. While Clare cannot do Detailed Yoma Energy Sensing, she can still avoid or counter attacks by opponents. And guide Ilena's arm using Quicksword.
