Recently, like, very recently, it was accepted in this thread that the vast majority of Hazbin Hotel (and some Helluva Boss) characters would be getting upgraded to 5-B and then later in this thread to 5-A, due to a showing in the finale involving the Might of Lilith piercing the barrier to Heaven. At first glance, the feat does seem valid when statements involving Heaven being a "planet" are taken into account, but there are multiple issues that, from what I've seen, have yet to be addressed here. So enough yapping and let's get into those as quickly as possible, starting with the first part of the initial thread:
My main issue with this feat is that the supposed 5-A scale just inherently contradicts not only the visuals of the scene, but also the explicitly stated destructive capacity of the MoL overheating, the thing we are actually scaling the characters to. When the Might of Lilith's beam shatters the barrier and pierces through Heaven itself, barely any destruction beyond destroying the gate and knocking back Saint Peter a bit and vaguely destroying a couple of buildings is what we see. During Vox's speech in the aftermath, little to none of Heaven's major buildings are even remotely damaged and there doesn't even seem to be anyone with any major injuries either. All of this explicitly breaks our Kinetic Energy guidelines, and there have been other similar feats in other verses that have been rejected for these very reasons. But unfortunately, there's more:
The major problem here is that, again, the Overheat being anywhere near Tier 5 explicitly contradicts what the intended destructive scale would be. Let's take a look at what Carmilla, the person who designed the Might of Lilith in the first place, has to say about what would happen.
So...yeah. As much as it pains me to say this, this feat being anywhere near Tier 5 is just completely inconsistent with the visual scale and narratively implied scale of the Might of Lilith exploding, so at the very least, the current interpretation of this feat simply doesn't work. What I would probably suggest is instead calculating the yield of destroying half of pentagram city and only scaling characters to that. Unless there are other arguments in support of this feat that I was not aware of, I'm pretty heavily inclined to believe this feat goes against Kinetic Energy guidelines.

This is...(for the part that matters), just simply not true. The feat that we used for the longest time to get the strongest characters to 7-A (before that calc was thrown out) and is now accepted as being Low 7-C here is derived from Adam, whom is currently accepted as downscaling from Lucifer, splitting the Hazbin Hotel. It's quite clear from the scene that this was absolutely not a "casual" feat by any means. Adam was getting visibly infuriated at Lucifer toying with and mocking him, was cussing him out veraciously, and then with a bruise on his face and a bloody nose shouted as he used both of his hands to fire what is clearly a full powered blast of holy light from his hands which accomplishes this feat. It does not matter if any of the other feats beneath this are casual when the highest rated one is not. If a top-tier's highest feat is Low 7-C, then a sudden jump of orders of magnitude by at least a billion times (probably higher, but you get the point), then that absolutely qualifies any Tier 5 feats as an outlier. But anyway, this is not the sole issue with the Might of Lilith or characters scaling to it, anyway. Let's get into that now.So, we're jumping from 7-C peak to Tier 5. Is it an outlier?
Short answer, no.
Long answer: The tier 8 and 7 calcs are either casual or scaling to characters who aren't becoming the above tiers. I will cover said characters as I get to them.

As was suggested by @Eden_Warlock99, the Overheat could scale to the Might of Lilith itself.
Feat for scaling here.
The reason for this is the very simple fact that the Overheat is just another shot with a big charge time going explosive. Thus, the 5-B+ feat is the one we're dividing.
The major problem here is that, again, the Overheat being anywhere near Tier 5 explicitly contradicts what the intended destructive scale would be. Let's take a look at what Carmilla, the person who designed the Might of Lilith in the first place, has to say about what would happen.
Carmilla clearly tells Vox that the Might of Lilith exploding would destroy...half of Pentagram City. Not even all of Hell as a whole, not even the entirety of Pentagram City itself. Just half of it. You really can't dismiss this as Carmilla just speaking in flowery language or dumbing it down or whatever, she is very much trying to talk Vox out of what he's doing for everyone's safety. I'm pretty sure her explaining that it would blow up literally all of Hell or at least, explode with a description significantly greater than "half of a city" to get her point across more effectively. You would not be telling a terrorist not to let a nuclear bomb off by telling them it would destroy half of a small town with it, you would tell them it would end the world. You also can't really claim Carmilla is underestimating it or doesn't know what she's talking about for obvious reasons, either. She designed this weapon and it's a consistent plot point involving her that she's one of the only people in Hell who knows how powerful Heaven is.
So...yeah.
