What? No this is just main series Faiz without Axel or Blaster form.Does this match including all Faiz ability and the shocker leader Faiz?
Takumi is 21 Kilotons, Ruby oneshots 29 Kilotons. Takumi does no have the AP or Dura advantageRuby has a skill advantage while Takumi has the AP/Durability advantage (even with the inclusion of Gravity Dust)
Takumi is Class 100, Ruby is Class M, he does not have the lifting strength advantage eitherLS advantage
Can he resist being frozen by her though?as well as pretty solidly resisting any heat-based or lightning attacks from her.
How so?His Gravity Manipulation should also be able to stop Ruby in her tracks, which would be useful given her mobility and skill.
Given the speed of both characters, dodging SoL projectiles is not going to be an issueAdditionally, Faiz has SoL projectiles via the Faiz Phone
How do these abilities negate durability? If theyre unable to bypass Ruby's aura they wont affect her beyond blunt damage.and the Crimson Smash can negate durability should. Not to mention, the Faiz Phone’s projectiles deconstruction would prove to be a problem if Ruby got hit by even one of the shots
I explained the reasoning for the gap at the end of my post. He HEAVILY upscales 21Takumi is 21 Kilotons, Ruby oneshots 29 Kilotons. Takumi does no have the AP or Dura advantage
That’s my bad, mixed up some LS ratingsTakumi is Class 100, Ruby is Class M, he does not have the lifting strength advantage either
With ice? No, that’s a wincon for Ruby. However, it’s not as if Takumi can’t avoid itCan he resist being frozen by her though?
Of course. I’m just noting it as they are projectiles that still are faster than both opponentsGiven the speed of both characters, dodging SoL projectiles is not going to be an issue
Faiz can fire an anti-gravity pulse along the ground, immobilizing ground-based enemies by levitating them in the air. So if he activates this (which he will certainly have the chance to do) and Ruby touches the ground even once, he’s got herHow so?
Literally, Faiz will go through the opponent and appear on the other end by phasing. It definitely isn’t something physical that aura will stopHow do these abilities negate durability? If theyre unable to bypass Ruby's aura they wont affect her beyond blunt damage.
What do you mean?how does it works those dura neg abilities?
excatly how i mean itWhat do you mean?
Ye, they both heavily upscale, the 29 kiloton feat Ruby scales to is from a Grimm that she casually oneshots in this keyI explained the reasoning for the gap at the end of my post. He HEAVILY upscales 21
All good, not sure what LS was even gonna do here anyways lolThat’s my bad, mixed up some LS ratings
Eh, that would be iffy, even in earlier seasons Ruby showed the skill to curve the trajectory of her bullets to hit mobile targets, plus not only does her Ice have a decent AoE that would catch him even if he dodged the bullet itself, but she's 100% willing to use it in CQCWith ice? No, that’s a wincon for Ruby. However, it’s not as if Takumi can’t avoid it
So pretty much the same as Weiss' anti-gravity field, though Ruby can fly so i dont really know how that would immobilize her, and she's entirely capable of spending an entire fight off the ground going by the majority of her fightsFaiz can fire an anti-gravity pulse along the ground, immobilizing ground-based enemies by levitating them in the air.

Oof, phasing, the one type of intangibility the RWBY cast canonically cant hit lolLiterally, Faiz will go through the opponent and appear on the other end by phasing. It definitely isn’t something physical that aura will stop
That would be useful, though I do think Faiz’s enhanced senses and perception manipulation (along with Auto Vajin support) should allow him to avoid thoseEh, that would be iffy, even in earlier seasons Ruby showed the skill to curve the trajectory of her bullets to hit mobile targets, plus not only does her Ice have a decent AoE that would catch him even if he dodged the bullet itself, but she's 100% willing to use it in CQC

I mean, it’s pretty self-explanatory. The energy Faiz uses in his attacks causes deconstruction, and the Crimson Smash has Faiz phase through opponentsexcatly how i mean it
how it works the powers from Deconstruction and Dura neg written in his page?
Deconstruction (Photon Blood is an energy source that is able to disintegrate anything it touches into ash. It flows within Faiz's suit and can be used when Faiz activates his weaponry.), Durability Negation (When Faiz uses Crimson Smash, he can phase through enemies, destroying them from the inside.)
Avoid how exactly...?That would be useful, though I do think Faiz’s enhanced senses and perception manipulation (along with Auto Vajin support) should allow him to avoid those
Im confused as to what exactly is preventing her from just flying away when the field is active?Ruby does tend to stick to the air a lot, but she still makes frequent stops and doesn’t solely move with her Semblance. I mean, it definitely is the majority of her mobility game, but she still has to change out of it, so I think there’d be ample chance for her to get caught in the field
Has Photon Blood shown to be able to get through forcefields? Crimson Smash would get through Ruby's aura but not sure if his other stuff would.I mean, it’s pretty self-explanatory. The energy Faiz uses in his attacks causes deconstruction, and the Crimson Smash has Faiz phase through opponents
Casually oneshots monsters that are 29 kilotons in physical durabilityAs for AP/Dura, Takumi can take hits from and deal damage to Kaixa. Kaixa’s armor is created from Sol Metal, every single part of it. Sol Metal, in insanely, insanely small portions can no sell point blank atomic bombs.
How much higher does Ruby scale above 29 KT?
I mean, Faiz Riders can literally jump several storeys into the air. He isn’t a sitting duckAvoid how exactly...?
She could do that, it’s just that she wouldn’t have any indication that it’s there. It wouldn’t be visibleIm confused as to what exactly is preventing her from just flying away when the field is active?
It’s gotten through physical defences before, so it would be able toHas Photon Blood shown to be able to get through forcefields? Crimson Smash would get through Ruby's aura but not sure if his other stuff would.
Takumi likely has the stat advantage here then here, not by much but the stat advantage no lessCasually oneshots monsters that are 29 kilotons in physical durability
So can literally every character in RWBY lol, doesnt stop Ruby from tagging them with her shots, plus not sure how that would help if she just unloads on him at point blank rangeI mean, Faiz Riders can literally jump several storeys into the air. He isn’t a sitting duck
Given that the girl who has been her combat partner for years regularly uses the same trick i feel like she would pick up on it very quicklyShe could do that, it’s just that she wouldn’t have any indication that it’s there. It wouldn’t be visible
Aura isnt a physical defense though, its a forcefieldIt’s gotten through physical defences before, so it would be able to
How so?Takumi likely has the stat advantage here then here, not by much but the stat advantage no less
Okay so, you know the width of a belt right? That much of Sol Metal can no sell 21 KT. Now you take an armor of Sol Metal and that armor’s dura is the dura of Kaixa. Takumi has defeated Kaxia.How so?
While you said she wouldn’t be against using it up close, she’s more likely going to use them at a Ranger distance first. I mean, she literally has a sniper, not that bold of an assumption. Along with having much better senses as well as his perception manipulation, he’s gonna have ample opportunity to move out of the way of those. If it’s done point blank, that may be more troublesome, though as BERRIES brought up, there’s a chance the Faiz Edge’s extreme heat could just melt thatSo can literally every character in RWBY lol, doesnt stop Ruby from tagging them with her shots, plus not sure how that would help if she just unloads on him at point blank range
Ehhh…. Weiss’ use of it is actually visible and performed differently. With how Faiz does it? I don’t think Ruby’s gonna pick up on it quick enough to get out of the wayGiven that the girl who has been her combat partner for years regularly uses the same trick i feel like she would pick up on it very quickly
Which the Crimson Smash wouldn’t have any trouble phasing through, given it can do so with non-physical attacksAura isnt a physical defense though, its a forcefield
Also it’s worth mentioning Weiss is a combat partner that Ruby has fought alongside for years, as well as uses the same type of weaponry (specifically Dust, not their signature weapons). Faiz is nothing like that. He isn’t using Dust, he’s using a Belt and weaponry built by an entirely different species. There’s no way Ruby would quickly pick up on him using a similar abilityEhhh…. Weiss’ use of it is actually visible and performed differently. With how Faiz does it? I don’t think Ruby’s gonna pick up on it quick enough to get out of the way
Funnily enough no, Ruby more often than not uses her sniper rifle in point blank close quarters combat lol, its her go-to tactic for pretty much any fight she's in.While you said she wouldn’t be against using it up close, she’s more likely going to use them at a Ranger distance first.

I mean, gravity manip is gravity manip, the tech might be different but the mechanics in this case are functionally the sameAlso it’s worth mentioning Weiss is a combat partner that Ruby has fought alongside for years, as well as uses the same type of weaponry (specifically Dust, not their signature weapons).

Ye, Crimson Smash would, the other ability wouldntWhich the Crimson Smash wouldn’t have any trouble phasing through, given it can do so with non-physical attacks
No? According to the rules she is still allowed to do so, it just cant be added as a fair matchShe can't blitz, Faiz is naturally faster.
Even still, it’s not as though he’s going to be helpless given the wincons discussed above. That and the Faiz Edge’s heatFunnily enough no, Ruby more often than not uses her sniper rifle in point blank close quarters combat lol, its her go-to tactic for pretty much any fight she's in.
Speed is equalized. Yes, Ruby has much better mobility, but nobody is blitzing anybody. Plus, with Faiz’s senses and Auto Vajin for backup, I doubt he’s just gonna be an immobile targetTheres also the issue of how Takumi deals with Ruby just immediately opting for blitzing him to hell and back with her semblance
Not quite. Yes, functionality is the same. But one is a visible attack Ruby is familiar with while another is an invisible attack from an opponent she’s never met in her life. Not at all a stretch to say she can’t simply use her previous knowledge of Weiss to avoid itI mean, gravity manip is gravity manip, the tech might be different but the mechanics in this case are functionally the same
The Faiz Phone shots actually would. It uses Photon Blood, just like the Crimson SmashYe, Crimson Smash would, the other ability wouldnt
I mean, what does he have to help him if he just gets shot? Ignoring he whole ice thing, theyre still bullets lolEven still, it’s not as though he’s going to be helpless given the wincons discussed above. That and the Faiz Edge’s heat
Speed equalized doesnt nullify speed amplification techniques, it just means that if Ruby wins this cant be addedSpeed is equalized. Yes, Ruby has much better mobility, but nobody is blitzing anybody. Plus, with Faiz’s senses and Auto Vajin for backup, I doubt he’s just gonna be an immobile target
Not to mention…he’s naturally faster? She couldn’t blitz him even if speed was unequal
Either way she'd know t get away from it, even if she assumed it was some kind of telekinetic attack as those also exist in RWBY, shes not gonna just let herself be a sitting duck floating in midairNot quite. Yes, functionality is the same. But one is a visible attack Ruby is familiar with while another is an invisible attack from an opponent she’s never met in her life. Not at all a stretch to say she can’t simply use her previous knowledge of Weiss to avoid it
The Faiz Phone has shown phasing?The Faiz Phone shots actually would. It uses Photon Blood, just like the Crimson Smash
Bullets that release ice. Ice that would easily melt to the Faiz Edge’s natural heat. Not a giant leap. The shots alone wouldn’t take him out of commissionI mean, what does he have to help him if he just gets shot? Ignoring he whole ice thing, theyre still bullets lol
Pretty certain that Penny’s explanation of the ability made it clear the “appearing invisible” part wasn’t only a factor of speed, but also due in part to the Matter Manip aspect. Not saying she can’t amp speed, but I needed to bring that upRuby's speed amp amps her to the point that she blitzes people comparable to her normally, and does so to the point that she appears invisible to them.
How would she assume? Is there any proof that she would assume that kind of attack would be used? Again, it’s an invisible attack from an opponent she’s unfamiliar with that isn’t using any cues similar to Weiss. She’s definitely not gonna assume “Oh, this is just like Weiss’ attack, better stay away from the ground” when there’s zero indicators to aid her in that analysisEither way she'd know t get away from it, even if she assumed it was some kind of telekinetic attack as those also exist in RWBY, shes not gonna just let herself be a sitting duck floating in midair
YesThe Faiz Phone has shown phasing?
Ice isnt the only kind of bullet she has tho, and even then given that its a piercing weapon with AP slightly higher than his normal durability (unless im missing something) its pretty safe to say that even getting shot with her normal non-elemental ammo would mess him up severelyBullets that release ice. Ice that would easily melt to the Faiz Edge’s natural heat. Not a giant leap. The shots alone wouldn’t take him out of commission
But we're in agreement that she can use it here?Pretty certain that Penny’s explanation of the ability made it clear the “appearing invisible” part wasn’t only a factor of speed, but also due in part to the Matter Manip aspect. Not saying she can’t amp speed, but I needed to bring that up
In what way does it immobilize the opponent?How would she assume? Is there any proof that she would assume that kind of attack would be used? Again, it’s an invisible attack from an opponent she’s unfamiliar with that isn’t using any cues similar to Weiss. She’s is definitely not gonna assume “Oh, this is just like Weiss’ attack, better stay away from the ground”
The ability also immobilized the opponent, so yes, she would be vulnerable
Fair enough then lol
Given the strength of Solmetal? I highly doubt those rounds are gonna leave a scratch. Again, even small bits of Solmetal can tank nuclear explosions and Faiz is coated entirely in that stuffIce isnt the only kind of bullet she has tho, and even then given that its a piercing weapon with AP slightly higher than his normal durability (unless im missing something) its pretty safe to say that even getting shot with her normal non-elemental ammo would mess him up severely
It leaves them incapable of moving while after they’re caught in the fieldIn what way does it immobilize the opponent?
Yes. But not so much to where it’s a blitz GG easy victory for RubyBut we're in agreement that she can use it here?
Actually scratch that. I don’t agree because that ability isn’t on her pageYes. But not so much to where it’s a blitz GG easy victory for Ruby
Ruby's AP is above the durability feat that Solmetal scales to, and thats without taking her bladed and piercing weapons into account.Given the strength of Solmetal? I highly doubt those rounds are gonna leave a scratch. Again, even small bits of Solmetal can tank nuclear explosions and Faiz is coated entirely in that stuff
But, like, how? Are they just suspended in midair? Restrained? Are people caught in the field prevented from flying away?It leaves them incapable of moving while after they’re caught in the field
Again, it literally lets her speedblitz people comparable to herself in speed, and she spams it in-character in combat. It woulnt be an easy victory but its absolutely a major factor for Ruby here.Yes. But not so much to where it’s a blitz GG easy victory for Ruby
...? What ability are you referring to? Her semblance is absolutely on her page.Actually scratch that. I don’t agree because that ability isn’t on her page
