Yeah that seems fair. I always did think 2-B seems more safe, then tack in a "likely 2-A"

Okay, so I am mostly in agreement with a lot of the scaling being done here, and I am even willing to relent on the whole "Everyone is likely 2-A" bit. However, there are a couple of notes that I saw which I think was just getting carried away, and I'd like to hammer them out.
I feel like this is more of a turn of phrase, and not referring to a universal world. Remember, this is a dragon from the Monster Hunter franchise, whose canon counterpart has similar phrasing for his own lore, and even if it was taken literally, at most it would only get High 6-A, since it likely just means Fatalis will scorch everyone and everything in the world, rather than decimating the world itself, which would pale in comparison to the Ifrit feat. (Though, funny enough, MH's 5-A statistic comes from Fatalis moving the moon. Dragons love to lift moons, I guess.)
The thing about the phrasing is, again, I believe it could be seen as hyperbolic. There are countless upon countless worlds, as has been stated multiple times, but I don't believe just using this statement is enough justification. That being said, if we can tack on the whole "countless doorways" statement from FEH's Alfonse, effectively noting that it's multiverse exists within Dragalia's, then we may have something there.
If Bahamut's lesser state gets to 2-B then so should Elysium. Zethia did after all just deflect an attack from Void Elysium.
Still, 2-B isn't that bad for them. Elysium's description is like a number so big he can't describe it, and then it further keeps on branching from each decision. So it's not a bad spot for Dragalia.
At best, I can see a "likely" or "possibly" 2-A for all of them
Also, another thing to note about the Bahamut draft profile that was made is that it does lack a number of abilities from standard dragons, mostly sourcing from the gameplay itself.
Things like Darkness Manipulation due to being a Shadow element dragon, or Power Bestowal for being able to grant humans the ability to shapeshift into his form, at least for his Incomplete form.
It's a WIP, I understand, but I figured that should be noted and should be helpful for you.
(Also, unfortunately, I have been the only active supporter of DL on the wiki ever since it was first published. All those pages so far? Mine.)
Mad respect on this one(Also, unfortunately, I have been the only active supporter of DL on the wiki ever since it was first published. All those pages so far? Mine.)
The thing with 2-A is that well, the only evidence for it is that one Monster Hunter line with "worlds as infinite as the stars", which can obviously be just hyperbolic. Meanwhile, 2-B has much more going for it, given how many times they state that the worlds are "countless" and that "no number can describe them" and "millions upon millions" and others. Also the fact that every decision also leads to a whole branching of manifold paths.
Cosmology being 2-B is safer (I'm not discarding 2-A as a possibility hence I made the sandbox go "possibly 2-A") and thus Origin and Progenitor would be 2-B, then below that Gala Zethia and Incomplete Bahamut, then Void Ely and Ely. Complete Bahamut/Origin = Unsealed Progenitor > Incomplete Bahamut = Gala Zethia > Void Ely > Ely
Though Starter Pack DID mention that the FEH multiverse might have a connection with Dragalia so if there's another infinite worlds statement there then 2-A might be more solid. So I do wanna confirm if thats a thing @Starter_Pack
2-B is Multiverse level. It's for thousands to any finite number of universes. 2-A is straight up infinite. A baseline 2-A would be considered countably infinite universes.
Countless is considered 2-B if I recall correctly. Because it's a massive MASSIVE number that Ely can't even describe, but its still not infinite.
Honestly, it's best to take the 2-B cosmology that is certain and established, with 2-A being added as a possibility.
The thing with the FEH bit is that, while it can be viewed as support for 2-A, keep in mind that this is not 100% solid on its own merits either, since the exact line describes the amount of worlds Alfonse can access as "countless," rather than "infinite." So, I think keeping things as 2-B, possibly 2-A, will keep the ratings the most solid.
Also, I do not want to give anyone any reason to scale Dragalia up to Low 1-C or 1-C because of Persona.
I'm sure this is fine, but as you say, the current statistics should remain 2-B, possibly 2-A, since there is no current absolute proof of 2-A at this current time.
This can change with further chapters, but this is where we stand now.

Yeah 2-B is definitely the way to go, with 2-A just being a possibly at best.Honestly, it's best to take the 2-B cosmology that is certain and established, with 2-A being added as a possibility.
Don't you mean 1-A aka upscaling above all of SMT cuz cosmology shenanigans
Yeah 2-B is definitely the way to go, with 2-A just being a possibly at best.
Anyways like I said, I'm not really a wiki profile maker type of gal but you guys can just take my existing sandbox and then improve upon from there to make Bahamut's profile and the others.
Scaling to Euden, Morsayati and others can wait for another thread so for now, as long we're all in agreement of 2-B Bahamut, then the creation of the pages for him can start now.
Oh yeah
Nedrick should get two keys. Like: Base | Pact w/ Incomplete Bahamut
He'd scale roughly equal to Gala Zethia since she also has a half of Bahamut's power so logically they should be on par, and thus Nedrick should also get his profile made since he's relevant to Bahamut (Who's the main focus of this thread). So Nedrick gets 2-B too. Idk what his Base form would get, we can discuss that later in a future scaling Dragalia Thread but his Pact key should definitely scale to Zethia.
In this chapter, Phares/Progenitor says that Nedrick has half of Bahamut's power. Audric also fight Phares alongside Nedrick, and Phares actually manages to fight them off. This Progenitor isn't complete yet either, since he still hasn't completely been revived.
So yeah, Nedrick definitely scales; 1. He fights an incomplete Progenitor and 2. Progenitor says he has half of Bahamut's power. In the ending of Chapter 21, Euden and Nedrick are also about to fight so Euden prolly scales too, but that can wait till the next chapter.
Just get back into VSBW and I see this. From just looking through quickly it looks pretty good.
Starter Pack seems to make sense above.
I would just like to note that statements about millions of universes are still just 2-B.
This doesn't work because you can't just assume Ely goes from 2-B to 2-A with just a form. The gap is literally infinite. Also Elysium and Void Elysium definitely aren't on the level of Gala Zethia/Incomplete Bahamut- let alone Complete Bahamut.Where the case for 2-A comes from is mostly in the idea Elysium, Bahamut and Progenitor's current forms are all "lesser". As example: Elysium's default state pretty much has the power of a God already. But, he then assumes a Void form in the newest chapter, and any time a dragon gets a Void form their powers exponentially rise. Then, we have the Reborn form. Elysium is not here yet but he is very likely to reach it later because every Dragon with a Void form before him has gone Reborn. And basically, Reborn is another significant power increase. Elysium reached his millions of worlds at base, so by the time he gets to Reborn, even if he isn't explicitly shown doing it then 2-A is safe assumption (DL is more about telling and not showing, anyway). To show my point isn't unfounded: Base Elysium went from struggling against Euden, to reaching his Void form and being mere seconds away from one-shotting Euden (it taking Zethia with a Bahamut pact to no-sell him).
Thanks for the input Ant. I guess Starter and the rest can start making their pages now then?Starter Pack seems to make sense above.

I think the chapter shows that its pretty that Elysium is lower in power and in the scaling chain than Bahamut and Progenitor. See my reasons above, where Half-Power Bahamut Zethia casually deflects an attack from Void Ely. So even if Void Ely will get a Reborn self, at best it'd be around Half-Bahamut's power and not Complete Bahamut or Full Power Progenitor.
Basically, the God tiers are Origin and Progenitor at their peak. Everyone else from there downscales.
Wanna also add that Elysium just saw and visited those worlds in his Base. Its not an AP feat, he just saw countless timelines. He "took charge" of the multiverse yes but watching over a multiverse doesn't automatically mean you scale to that in AP. What makes it an AP feat though is via Origin and Progenitor. Since Elysium said that there are countless worlds that a number can't define them and that each of those worlds further branch out endlessly based on decisions and moments, then this must mean the whole Cosmology is 2-B. For it to scale, you'd have to either create or destroy that cosmology. Origin and Progenitor made the world itself so they obviously scale. Hell, Progenitor's goal is to destroy all possibility and make the world only have one world. That was also what Elysium wanted, thats why he was against the revival of Bahamut. So since Origin and Progenitor made the multiverse, the 2-B cosmology scales to them. From there, we downscale. (Complete Bahamut/Origin > Half Pact Nedrick = Incomplete Bahamut/Gala Zethia = Phares!Progenitor > Void Elysium > Euden and his gang > Ely)
Trust me, even if Reborn Ely is literally millions and novemquadrillions or even Graham's number times stronger than Void Ely, his 2-B stats wouldn't reach 2-A. Its literally infinite universes vs finite universes.But the method of increase is pointed out. Elysium goes from God status, to basically going God status x 2 (Void), then God status x 3 (Reborn). It is thanks to being Reborn a dragon like Nidhogg could beat Tartarus in the first place. The caveat being: it makes no sense to have Reborn Elysium try to reach for infinity, even if he could, when he'll really end up settling for our world. The 2-B we see is good for OG Elysium and maybe Void, not that sure I see it for Reborn though when the power here is not the increase of one form, but of two (coming straight out of Void with much greater prowess).
There's not even a Reborn Elysium yet and even then, Euden and Ilia could still keep up with Void Elysium anyways, even if it was very very difficult. So honestly the gap in power might not even be that big. The point is, Gala Zethia, with only half of Bahamut's power, was still able to easily outperform Euden and his whole gang against Void Ely. The only reason Zethia couldn't immediately defeat Void Ely is because the pact took its toll on her. And also, Gala Zethia should be equal to Half-Pact Nedrick, and he was fighting Phares and Beren, and Beren was the one who buffed Ely in the first place. So at best, Void Ely could be argued to be equal to Incomplete Bahamut, if not slightly lower.I should also point out Void Elysium took the fight with Baha-Zethia no further than that no-sell. No incapitation happened, the fight simply ended without a clear winner either way. So we have little to work with for this. However, the teaser has flat-out established that Elysium will fight the Progenitor. What happens there is what we haven't seen yet. At worst, Elysium is still top 3 in power. We just don't know if Reborn will make that "top 3 in no particular order" or not.
Altering a timeline and watching over them =/= creating and destroying the whole thing. Besides, he never altered ALL universes all at once. If he could then he'd just wipe out all possibility to begin with and settle with a singular world, since that's what he wants. And besides he downscales from Origin anyways, that's the feat he'd benefit from. Not altering a timeline or destiny. If anything, his "feat" isn't AP- but could probably be timeline manipulation or fate manipulation. Most likely the former.The first part here is not true. Elysium first entered these timelines, then directly altered a great amount. Don't forget where he confirms some of the timelines he indeed left idle to see if civilization would fix itself. And then he doubly confirms he indeed does affect the other ones with his power. Remember: he tried from every imaginable angle to find salvation for these worlds. This means in some he'll have used all his power as overseer to fix things (and fail), in others he'll have done half, or quarter. Agreed on Progenitor/Bahamut at the end though.
Trust me, even if Reborn Ely is literally millions and novemquadrillions or even Graham's number times stronger than Void Ely, his 2-B stats wouldn't reach 2-A. Its literally infinite universes vs finite universes.

But anyways this should be reserved for a future scaling thread. We already got Ant agreeing with Starter's 2-B Dragalia cosmology proposition so the Bahamut page and other relevant ones can be made now. Unless we need more mods?
Can somebody summarise the reasoning for 2-A please?
Okay, but is there really any indication for that he is infinitely stronger than 2-B?
Well, the issue is that even if a 2-B turns a trillion times stronger, he/she is still 2-B.
