Examining Powerscaling within RWBY

[WeeklyBattles]

Good thing its not consistent

 

[Nico-v11]

Yet it is

 

[Wokistan]

Why not make the aura thing a separate thread instead of piggybacking off of this one? Considering weekly even conceded to not scaling off of some one shot chain, I don't really think anyone else is going to defend it.

 

[Nico-v11]

It's been done before. This whole aura argument has been going on for years now tbh

 

[Wokistan]

So why not make your own thread outlining everything in detail to finally settle it conclusively?

 

[Nico-v11]

Fair

 

[Schnee_One]

Didn't Hazel one shot the Lancer Queen?

He would probably be the only one that can one shot people that strong

 

[Wokistan]

LQ also stabbed through his chest in a hit, apparently. Probably a one shot more akin to how you can kill someone irl by hitting their neck/head without being too much stronger

 

[DragonEmperor23]

Yeah but let's face it we all know Hazel did all the work....seeing how he's just way more powerful than everyone else there.

I'm just saying that claiming "Hazel one-shot it" is incorrect.
We also consider Lionheart to be 8-B, so two shots from him should have actually done decent damage, and knocked it back.

So, to kind of get an idea of what is left for the scaling after this:

• Hazel + Lionheart can rather swiftly kill a summoned Lancer Queen.

• The Lancer Queen could survive an 18 Ton explosion.

• Vernal could destroy a partially formed Arma Gigas Summon.

Seems enough to keep the 18 Ton ratings as they are, just to less of a degree w/scaling.
