>kill the motherfucker before he knows you're even there
Any other tips for dealing with these kinds of enemies? The kinds of enemies who can screw with your mind, and erase you from existence by merely wishing it to be so.
Guidelines to dealing with reality benders

Any decently competent one has already won minutes/hours after having discovered their powers. How do you kill something that may have made itself invulnerable or simply erased the very concept of itself being killed?
It's handwavium bullshit all the way down for this one.
Trick them into accidentally imagining their own death, and therefor making it reality
Yeah kinda macguffiny but would be cool if you could pull it off in a way that's interesting
Pretty much. SCP only works because most folks agree not to think too hard about the premise of the site because otherwise, it would be impossible to enjoy yourself when reading the more extreme articles. 682 doesn't have any of the powers you mentioned and it still should have permanently escaped from containment. You have to introduce at least one crippling weakness in the creature that has such power or otherwise you are relying on author fiat to ignore that they won the moment they acquired their abilities. It doesn't have to be an easily exploitable weakness. For example: a teenager that warps reality whenever upset. So just make sure they never get upset. Which, you know, good fucking luck with that.
Talking.
"Reality bender" itself is a very vague term. It could mean anything. In some worlds or settings, reality benders have short range, localized powers that may vary by the user.
If your reality warping foe is essentially omnipotent, there is basically no way to fight them other then staying unnoticed. In that case, you would simply want to monitor or stay away, or as the SCP theorizes, kill them from stealth or far away. If the power user is strong but can't bring about permanent change or can't warp things without his concentration, he can't make himself permanently invincible or unkillable all the time.
There is also the chance that some things about the reality warper are limited; maybe the reality warper can't manipulate some elements like lead because they're too heavy. Or maybe the reality warper is limited in terms of the complexity of what they can manipulate. Having specially armored gunmen might be a way to storm their compound and kill them.
How I personally like to fluff it, reality warpers are extremely powerful but can only really effect things in their immediate area. It's a subset of the other psychic powers in the setting; if you have reality warping, you don't also get nor can give yourself telepathy or prognostication. Reality warpers always go crazy after a while so usually they just lock themselves in an apartment complex and be God over all the poor people in there.
become a reality bender yourself.
You are talking about making a rational plan to combat a creature that bends rationality as a matter of course. It's dumb on its face.
Do what the GOC does.
> Kill the fuckers when they're young.
> Kill them if they show any sign of not suppressing their powers and desperately trying not to use them, and monitor them even if they do.
> They have human perception. Kill them before they react- ideally with a high caliber sniper rifle from 3 kilometers.
Show it Evangelion.
Kill it while its still confused by binge watching taht shit.
or it barely passed twelfth grade philosophy and you're fucked.

When you treat people like monsters, they become monsters. Don't treat reality warpers like they're monsters from the start.
Depends on how strong they are I suppose. Like say you do sneak attack one and kill them, how do you know they cant just say "fuck this shit" from the grave and come back?
the usual reality warpers I know from fiction aren't living or persons at all, I had more like a humanity-scale reality warping that lead to mindless monsters.

>trying to contain 2hus
Are there any that even can be contained within reason? Those girls don't fuck around.
Depends on the situation, I guess. If I run into a reality warper I'd try to befriend them and look at them as equals. I'd imagine it gets lonely and you can feel really isolated being different from everyone like that.
Yeah. Don't be in a stupid setting where there are powers that let you passively/actively warp reality and not powers which can defend against/negate that sort of activity for no reason
My setting had one reality warper that was essentially tricked by a group of higher deities into ascending so high that he was barred from interfering directly with the mortal world by the higher powers that created the world.
He still acts via proxies and with what limited influence he can enact, but he's still spending most of that time trying to find a way back down. The party's come across a number of his schemes over the years, and fought an avatar of him once or twice. They tended to be really rough fights.
fairies, rinnosuke, kosuzu and akyuu
marisa would cause some damage but would eventually go down and be easily restrained
Cirno might still cause high trouble, even if restrained but it would be posible to adapt an environment to her
Basically all of the touhous that cant put up something more that a hail of pellets would eventually be captured, and those with some slight bullshit capabilities like seiga and tewi would still cause troubles
Stronger hous, like sumireko and mokou, would keep causing trouble and keep escaping every now and then, even if successfully cointained
Then there would be incident class hous that are impossible to contain, better not to, or pointless to contain, like suwako or kokoro, superhumans like hijiri, aya, meiling and youmu, fucking mages like patche and alice, or gimmicks like sukuna and the dickass wish mallet, sakuya, mamizou (who would have the time of her life)
One step above these, in a "dont bother" category are the walking disasters, namely nuke bird, yuugi, reimu, remilia, flan, tenshi, and such
And finally, there's the "monthly sacrifice to win her favor" category, like moonbitches, the oni devas, the four sages, doremy, and the nigh allmighty dragon god
Oh, and yeah, then there's koishi
>Koishi
Who?
who what?
Read Eye in the Sky by PKD. It's a series of defeating reality warpers. They beat one of them by tricking her into deleting enough parts of the universe to make everything fall apart.
