None of that scales it to the post-game boss though. An early game hero not defeating it doesn’t put it at Low Multiversal and it protecting the tomb doesn’t either. Also, isn’t this like, the 3rd boss of the game? Why should it even remotely scale to a post-game boss?
How else would he be able to keep King Godfrey from escaping if he wasn’t able to incapacitate him? I’m looking at a few Possibly stuff, not explicitly a Massive AP Spike
The Player can get access to Solar Flair only 6 bosses in minimum
It’s via sealing, not the contagion fighting King Godfrey. Possibly still feels too much for me if we’re talking about a low-tier monster.
I feel Solar Flair should not have its rating as it has now. It uses light from the Milky Way but it’s not an actual solar flair being flung at the enemy.
You’re right it’s not a solar flare it’s a Nebula, Solar Flair is a localized name-It’s called Grand Nebula in Japanese and is one of the hardest hitting attacks you can use in the entire game
No matter what it is, it shouldn’t have a tier attached to it.
I’m not saying attacks can’t, but solar flair specifically doesn’t have anything that qualifies it for tier 4 (at least DQ9s version). Statements and names are used a lot to glorify attacks but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is that thing. In the original text’s case, it is called Grand Nebula, but that doesnt mean Nine is actually using an entire nebula to attack the enemy. Even in the English translation, it notes that the attack is “light from the Milky Way” or something similar. The energy or amount of light used is unquantifiable in any circumstance, hence Solar Flair being even remotely Tier 4 is negligible. However, you could argue it uses some amount of cosmic radiation, but again, the attack varies in effect depending on the game.
I can probably gather a few of Nokturnus’ scans later. Nokturnus is one of many DQ pages with little to no scans. I imagine these profiles will be fixed in a distant future but there’s a very large lack of commitment to the verse.
To summarize what has been discussed since then to cover ratings:
The previous DQ9 feats work for a few things but the end of game and maybe even some mid-game feats are highly uncertain. I would recommend getting them evaluated if they haven’t already. The current Terry speed is the only viable existing speed calculation from before this thread, but it could also need recalculating. End game needs speed feats found in general since the previous reasoning for Immeasurable no longer works.
