I personally think it’s important in certain contexts such as explaining certain feats that may not make sense in how they appear. However, they must be consistent with the character’s overall capabilities on average or be regulated to very rare (basically one-off) circumstances. For example, you just can’t give some dude, whose average feats appear at most city level, multiversal+ scaling via statements because this one sentence implies he is multiversal (especially if it contradicts his overall capabilities he’s shown). Like imagine you see a guy struggling to punch a steel door open, but then some one-off statement said he had infinite strength from something else or he beat a guy with infinite strength. That opens the way to ridiculous shit like multiversal Kratos. So mainly statement scaling shouldn’t be heavily relied upon unless it’s backed up by sufficient feats and it comes with correct context that doesn’t contradict the story or the character’s actual average power.
