So...these
crts happened
And the former absolutely annihilated how chainscaling looks and its honestly so bad so i will start with that
First i will dip my arguments as to why 4-A should be removed entirely, then i will argue which characters should have justification changed and their tier 4 removed too
first is to start about why do 4-A exists, well it comes from this feat
- Barbatos at his prime was challenged to a battle by the Hexenzirkel,[6]an organisation of powerful mages or witches founded by Alice,[7]who was a protector of Old Mondstadt,[6] a civilisation ruled by Decarabian. Decarabian was defeated by Barbatos himself.[8]A single witch of Hexenzirkel was capable of creating the Imaginarium Theater,[9] with casting spells using their quill,[10]which contains a starry sky[11][Note 1][Statistics Values 1])
So whats wrong here? first if you look at the scan of him being challenged, he legit rejected the challenge...the first disqualifier of this scaling.
Another issue is this
Alice,[7] who was a protector of Old Mondstadt,[6] a civilisation ruled by Decarabian. There is no proof that Alice was as strong as she is now, nor that the Imaginarum Theater was created at that time, in fact it wasnt even specified when was Hexenzirkel found:
Another issue is that the feat itself isnt consistent, it has only appeared once with little to no details about it, and witches themself have 0 combat feats shown.
Yet another issue here is this:
Decarabian was defeated by Barbatos himself.[8], this is not true, or at least not as accurate as it sounds, in the story quest of Venti
it was revealed that entire old mondstadt rebelled against decarabian, nothing said that Venti himself fought and defeated him.
Final issue is the fact that every other Feat shown by Archons is at best tier 6, Such as:
Shogun cutting island in half
Venti casually throwing giant mountain
Azdaha shaking earth
Neuvilette covering entire fontaine in clouds
Mavuka using combined power of death, 6 natlan heroes, and gnosis just to break false sky barrier and possibly destroy the moon.
None of these feats are reaching into tier 5, theres no reason for archons to scale into tier 4 just because witches are capable of challenging one archon which even refused the challenge, nor that they have any consistent feat itself, this can at best be an
Outlier since nothing else provides support for archons scaling to 4-A, let alone any other character who is listed 4-A except...
