Here’s an analogy for my point here
Heat being dura negation doesn’t actually mean it can’t also give a dura value for resisting it
This is like saying that because Raiden’s HF blade is dura neg, that means taking a full power hit from his sword is just vibration manip resistance and it can’t actually be considered a durability feat

from my knowledge, the reason heat is dura neg in the first place is because durability usually doesn’t apply down at an atomic or molecular level or whatever, while the AP of heat does affect people that way
meaning that tanking heat would mean you have both the durability and heat resistance to take it, if the heat is higher than either your dura or resistance then you die, and that’s it.
 
But we already knew this when calc members accepted high 7-A homeless emperor in the first place, so it’s odd that this is a discussion to begin with, but whatever.
 
Also yeah rover definitely isn’t pure vaporization, at most there’s only partial vaporization since there are clear signs of fragments and rubble
 
Also, I don't think it's fair to boil down (pun intended) Rover or Homeless Emperor's attacks to simply heat-based abilities. Sure, they are heat balls, but the things that are being calced is the damage as a result of them exploding, not them just moving through and melting the area effected.
And they can also be interacted physically, be it either by deflection with a sword (Spring Moustache and Iaian) or hands (Bang) or touching, grabbing and kicking them (Suiryu) which isn't a characteristic that actual fire has.

Not to mention that they still produce violent explosions that leave debris behind and don't just phase through melting everything on it's path as you said, these panels are the perfect example of this:

Frag gets 9 kilotons.

V frag gets 77 kilotons.

It's semi worth a recalculation.
 
They're calculating the volume that was destroyed.

Can't we add both together?
 
Apparently, that doesn't really matter because shockwaves can combine.
 
They did exactly the same thing with Injustice, so yes they do.

Anyway, I'll wait for the CGM's input here.
 
Maybe Gale and Hellfire, considering they were able to slightly damage the armor and survive the energy of the brave giant being released
 
They tanked Gigavolt Smash though, so their durability would scale.
They tanked a fraction of the Gigavolt Smash which went out omnidirectionally to hit a lot of other targets besides them. Even if we assumed that the Gigavolt Smash was equal in AP to the Brave Giant's earlier attack, there is no reason for either of them to scale to the full value.

They were in the epicenter of the attack though?

Seems like a petty detail honestly, usually with attacks like that the author intention is just that they were able to withstand it
 
And yeah, gigavolt smash is a last resort self destruct super-move, it’s obviously at least a little stronger than the calc feat given that it explodes brave giant
 
It’s brave giant’s strongest attack to begin with
let’s just say that they’re likely low 7-B and just be done with it, it’s very clear that they were meant to scale.

No. I'm against that.

They were in the center and got blasted away. The second scan you sent was just them getting knocked back.
It doesn't matter; you can be holding onto the side of a missile and you still won't scale to the full value of it. Just being close isn't enough.
