Actually nvm, Jason scales to 16.32 Megatons in durability, and Enceladus can harm him. But the giants are 10x stronger, so the giants would actually be 163.2 Megatons, or 7-A.

Further support for 7-A demigods
 
Enceladus has his own 7-C+ feat of shaking Mount Diablo, but he scales to 7-B for injuring Jason

Meaning that all of the giants would scale to 7-B+ I assume
Do we have a calc for that feat somewhere? I remember running the numbers a while ago and getting a different value, but 7-C+ seems pretty specific for an estimate.

I just used the earthquake magnitude chart. Encleadus shook the entire mountain, which stretches over an entire kilometer. This would be roughly a Magnitude 6.5 Earthquake, which is 84 Kilotons or 7-C+

Idk about using the 10 times thing literally. Jason expressed some difficulty with handling Enceladus's strength. I can't see him then going on to fight people 10 times stronger and not being completely overpowered. Also since we're scaling Enceladus to Jason to make him 7-B in the first place, it doesn't make sense to then say Jason's durability was actually 10 times higher than Enceladus's AP the whole time.

Tbf Jason could have gotten stronger from The Lost Hero to Blood of Olympus

What about the fights with giants between those books? The scaling issue still exists. Not to mention the 7-A calc probably doesn't scale to any of the giants since it was basically him pushing his limits to the limit. He's never pushed himself so hard before or after that fight.

Yeah I don’t think the weather calc scales to the giants

The way I see it, Jason wasn’t at his full pinnacle of power since he was still obtaining his memory back in Lost Hero. So, he can keep his 7-B key from Last Olympian to Lost Hero, and have a 7-A key for the later books of HOO

Why exactly does affecting a km distance automatically equate to magnitude 6.5? Lesser earthquakes have that kind of Aoe all the time.

According to the Richter scale, extreme shaking at a huge distance is a sign of a high magnitude

The shockwave also sent Leo flying and knocked out Coach Hedge

Wasn't Leo like, a few feet away from Enceladus? He's very close to the epicenter. And again, 1km isn't a crazy high range for an earthquake to affect. The intensity of the shaking is completely unknown at a 1 km distance. At best we can say that it knocked Leo to the ground by being a few feet from the epicenter. Idk if that requires magnitude 6.5 or not.

Leo was between the bulldozer and the tree harvester, which are both near the end of the clearing. Enceladus is presumably at the center of the clearing since he was at the bonfire. Said clearing was football field sized, so he was a decent distance away.
Just over the ridge where they were hiding, in the shadow of the mountain’s final crest, was a forested depression about the size of a football field,
where the giant Enceladus had set up camp.
Trees had been cut down to make a towering purple bonfire. The outer rim of the clearing was littered with extra logs and construction equipment —an earthmover; a big crane thing with rotating blades at the end like an electric shaver—must be a tree harvester, Leo thought—and a long metal
column with an ax blade, like a sideways guillotine—a hydraulic ax.
Jason and Hedge dove to the left as the giant blew fire—a furnace blast so hot even Festus would’ve been jealous. Leo dodged behind the
bulldozer, wound up his homemade device, and dropped it into the driver’s seat. Then he ran to the right, heading for the tree harvester.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jason rise and charge the giant. Coach Hedge ripped off his canary yellow jacket, which was now on fire, and
bleated angrily. “I liked that outfit!” Then he raised his club and charged, too.
Before they could get very far, Enceladus slammed his spear against the ground. The entire mountain shook.
The shockwave sent Leo sprawling.

Yeah Leo was sent flying from essentially a football field’s distance. This is definitely Magnitude 6 or 6.5
 
So have you reached any agreements here?
 
At the same time tho, anything below 6.0 is described as “at MOST slight damage to buildings in small regions”. So, it has to be somewhere in the ballpark

In Vs Battle Wiki you would normally calculate the shaking that does not involve the movement of the continental plates yourself making use of the mercalii scale and a range established in the feat itself.
 
I’m going to go ahead and list all the best AP feats that occur for the demigods, for those that think Tier 9 demigods is still a thing.

Leo’s Supernova: like High 7-A
Jason creates a storm: 7-A
Percy surviving Mount Saint Helens: 7-B
Khione creating freezing rain: 7-B
Nico creating a crevice down to the Underworld: Low 7-B
Enceladus shaking Mount Diablo: 7-C+
Percy Jackson obliterating an iceberg: 7-C
Hazel sinks a small island: Low 7-C
Jason survives a point blank explosion: Low 7-C
There are these calcs. Though they weren't put on a blog yet so we probably should do that
 
I think the calcs still need to be approved and a few things are discussed still
  • The demigod calcs still require approval.
  • Tier 4 and Tier 3 gods were thoroughly rejected because the constellation feats were deemed invalid, but I'm not quite sure where the gods end up now - probably somewhere in Tier 6 or Tier 5, but I don't know the calcs for that.
 
I can ask for evaluation help after all of the calculations here have been placed in blog posts.

So about this
Currently reading the Greek gods
In the graphical representation in the book, Ouranus/Uranus is depicted to embody stars in his true form
Isn't that enough to make him tier 4ish?
I also believe that the information in that book should be regarded as a WoG account of the "cosmology" for the Greek aspects of Riordanverse but that can be addressed in a different thread

No, it isn't. This has already been discussed and refuted to death. To quote me from a few pages back:
  • Though Apollo stating that science works independently of divine influence doesn't prove that the gods absolutely don't affect the actual cosmos, it's consistent with Apollo, Artemis, Ra, and other gods affecting supernatural representations of celestial bodies independent of their scientific counterparts, and there's no reason to think the stars are any different. Ancient Greeks envisioned the sky as a dome surrounding the Earth (In case you're wondering, they knew the Earth was round even back then. Christopher Columbus had nothing to do with discovering the Earth's shape) with stars placed into it by the gods, which, per Occam's razor, is what Artemis and Hera are doing. If you disagree, you're the one who has to prove this specific case is different, and we're not the ones who have to disprove it.
  • The mist could hide Typhon and the gods as they fought across the US, but it didn't hide the volcanic eruptions and storm cells they caused. If Artemis had indeed manipulated scientific stars, the mist wouldn't hide them from humanity the way it hides the mythological representations from humans who fly higher than the sun and moon chariots, which would've caused mass confusion among astronomers, which no book even suggests happened.
In a nutshell, we have ample proof that the Greco-Roman deities don't affect real stars, instead only placing "stars" on a sky that's a dome over the Earth that exists alongside the scientific sky and is hidden by the Mist in the same way Apollo and Artemis's chariots are. If you keep repeating tired old debunked points, I'll have to submit some discussion rules banning trying to upgrade Greco-Roman deities based on these star feats.
Pretty sure it’s obvious that the primordials like Gaea and Ouranos are Tier 5 to Tier 4, would be surprised if someone disagreed with that
They're Tier 5 for sure due to Gaea being the Earth and the others scaling to her, but Tier 4 and Tier 3 have been thoroughly debunked, save for Chaos, who's Low 2-C for existing as the spacetime continuum from which everything sprung.

Chaos should be at least 2-C, for birthing the whole cosmology which consists of multiple other worlds, including the Duat as well as the 9 realms intertwined with Yggdrasil.
 
Also, how would this scale over to the demigods? If Enceladus has small city level striking, should Jason and others on his level downscale since Jason barely deflected a strike and then his arm went numb, or would they fully scale?

No. Our current page treats Chaos from Greco-Roman mythology, the Sea of Chaos from Egyptian mythology, and Ginnungagap from Norse mythology as the same entity, which is obviously not the case. Greco-Roman Chaos is Low 2-C, and you'd have to prove the Duat and/or 9 Realms are separate universes for their versions of the primordial void to be 2-C.

This would just be a supporting feat, but from what the feat seems to be, Jason was fully capable of deflecting the strike. It’s just that the blade grazed his shoulder, and idk if the giant’s blade is celestial bronze or not or if it has some properties, but it seems like that was what made his arm go numb

There's a lot of evidence pointing to them all being the same primordial existence (entity is a bit much to apply to a thing that is a place that hasn't actually ever displayed sentience). These cosmologies aren't as separated as you think. The Mist, which is part of the Duat and exists throughout the Greek world is directly stated to be part of Ginnungagap. Apollo describes Chaos as a churning mass which is similar to how Carter describes the Sea. Ginnungap is referred to as a mist, which both Chaos and the Sea are referred to as on multiple occasions. It would be weird to have 3 separate primordial voids that all exist at the same time in the same cosmology while also having similar visual representations and qualities. 3 voids wouldn't make much sense in the setting either, because these are also physical places. Having multiple pantheons with gods to embody these things doesn't make more copies of that place. We have multiple Earth gods, but not multiple Earths for example. Let's leave this here though. We can have a prolonged argument where I provide scans for everything in a thread specifically detailing revisions to the Chaos page on some other occasion.

Okay, if you can provide sufficient proof.

In general I'm curious how the other Gods stack up against each other and if any are outdated

So, small city level striking for high tier demigods? Or do we have better feats?
