Looks like you can't just power through with low gadget levels anymore!

My dog gadgets were up against each other. 2nd-4th place all had higher power than me / My level is 12, theirs are 6 to 8. Normally, I wouldn't give them a base level of 6, but around 9 or 10, if they had higher power, it would be neck and neck, but now I'm winning? This time I had the advantage... But thinking about it, if I meet that terrifying scroll-child now ㅜㅜ Will I be able to push through with power?ㅋㅋㅋ I guess I'll have to meet them to find outㅋㅋㅋ I hate it...
