>Shadow and Codex can just sidestep it.
True actually
>Verdant and Titan can fuck off underground or tank/regenerate from it.
A nuclear fireball is hotter than the core of the sun, and that doesn't even mention the immense pressure and force it produces. Neither of them are tanking it or regenerating from it. Instant death.
>ACIT
A nuke isn't just heat bro, and nukes can be remotely detonated without needing to travel on a missile. Given how nuclear blasts can be miles in diameter it just needs to be kind of close to the target to shred him to bits
>Frost
Would only work if he catches it before detonation, a nuclear fireball expands at millions of miles per hour, far outstripping the hypersonic speeds of RE-9s
>Forge
Defensive artifacts aren't specific to the Forge method, and Forge doesn't give you the ability to make them. But Totem of Rebirth can be used to survive a nuke

Only 3(2.5 really, Forge only kinda counts) of the 7 methods you mentioned could survive a nuke, therefore not MOST cultivators could survive it.

>literally makes up a new definition of conventional on the spot
Kekaroo. RE-9s get assraped by nukes
