[Spinoirr]

Ruby's ap: 8.71 Tons



Ruby's aura can take dozens of attacks from others on her level and her auras maximum durability cap is 70 times her base durability of 8.71 Tons, but can still break from overtime damage like a health bar in a video game (it takes 70 8.71 Tons attacks to break her aura forcefield)



Skill chain:

Spoiler

At the bottom of the skill chain is aura users as a whole. While every living being in RWBY technically has Aura, actually being able to utilize it for things such as defense, regen, and senses requires years of training and a high enough degree of martial skill (and yes you actually need martial skill for it) that only a small percentage of the population of the entire planet ever become skilled enough to utilize their aura. Of that small percentage, an even smaller percentage ever become skilled enough to manifest/control a Semblance (yes semblances are also skill-based). To reach this small percentage comes to the second half of the bottom of the chain: Almost every character worth their salt in RWBY has spent their entire life training in combat and can fight hordes of Grimm with little issue (Almost because Jaune exists). The entirety of the main cast of RWBY was initially enrolled at Beacon Academy, one of the most prestigious combat schools in the world, with almost everyone who was accepted there having been trained for almost their entire life to fight monsters, and each one that was not professionally trained requiring a skill display overseen by Ozpin (who is just as skilled as king piccolo 200+ years ago and is probably even more skill from training under Kami), who has the composite skill of several thousand professional huntsmen that he accumulated over his immortal lifetime.



Thats the baseline for skill in the verse.



Moving up the chain we have Nebula Violette, who not only outmatched Velvet in a 1v1 test of martial arts skill, but was directly stated to be more skilled than Velvet in combat despite Velvet mixing numerous fighting styles to try to throw her off in their fight.

Above her is Pyrrha Nikos, the skill god of the Beacon Arc. Pyrrha is one of the most skilled students at Beacon Academy, having won every combat tournament she has entered since she was a pre-teen due to both her mastery of combat and mastery of her semblance, being able to apply it in combat completely undetected and having done so in almost every fight she's been in for over a decade, doing so with such skill and precision that she has lead many to believe she is untouchable and invincible as no one has been able to even land a blow on her in her combat career. Even without her semblance she has shown the ability to quickly and easily adapt to her combat situation and analyze her opponents while fighting and changing tactics to suit the situation she is in. She has shown extreme accuracy, being able to hit moving targets from hundreds of meters away and strike vital weak points on an opponent mid-combat both with and without the aid of her semblance. She is also highly skilled at using her weapon's multiple forms in combat, being able to switch between forms several times in rapid succession to both deliver rapid attacks and counter others simultaneously.

This version of Ruby is even more skilled then that due to learning ki at Beacon in a week



Ruby learns how to use ki a week and they know how to use ki better then Videl minus flying



According to Gohan, it's not all that easy to use ki, and Videl's quick picking up of ki control was, in large part, due to her martial arts training. She still had to take time to learn how to even access it, much less control the flow of it, so it'd be all the harder for a normal person to. But Videl had no control over her ki control and can't shoot ki blasts unlike ruby after a week of training back during beacons break



She also scales In skill to Bann AKA Goku:

Spoiler

Skill feats for Bann Belladonna AKA my Crossover AU Goku



Beacon arc:



Fought alongside his step-sister Blake and Adam for years



Trained his whole life in martial arts to the point he is naive to almot anything outside of anything to do with combat



Got into beacon without going to a combat school and without a weapon other then his hands, kicks and ki attacks



mimicked pennys beam with ki and made the Kamehameha just after seeing her use her beam once



he taught team JNPR how to use ki during their break



Fought on par with phyrra in the food fight with his hand to hand skills



Could tell mercury was holding back against phyrra and questioned why he quit after seeing her semblance



Figured out Cinder (who they only knew as a mystery woman in all black) using soothing other then a semblance or dust to freeze Him, Ruby and piccolo in the CTT was definitely not ki nor dust or even a semblance but didn't know exactly what it was



Made it to the finals of the tournament with piccolo and his team picking him to go to the finals



Believes yang saw what she actually saw and explains to them he thinks there is something up with that mercury guy but he just doesn't know what



Hears from velvet that coco also saw something that wasn't there in the match against merc and em alongside ruby, making Bann wonder if mercury has a ability to make people see things



See's emerald in the tournament still even though she said she was going to go with mercury so he gets up to figure out what's going on alongside ruby



When he sees mercury and the next fight is phyrra vs penny, bann figures out why mercury held back and stop fighting against phyrra when she showed her semblance



Bann holds off mercury with orange amp (his semblance that gives him a 4x boost in power) and predicts some of his moves but is forced to run away as he still was being overwhelmed



Mistrial arc:



Knew how to fight with his new gun Sword By copying how his sister fought with her weapon



Tried to help Ruby fight Tyrain, but Tyrain was too strong and fast for him but he did dodge some of his hits via predicting them like he did with mercury



Cut off Tyrains tail after he poisoned Qrow before Ruby did it

Accidentally added those due to copy and pasting sorry

The votes are also there for Ser-Vasra

 

[ExSENNA]

Ser-Vasra is a summoner as obvious from her profile. She isn't particularly good in combat and relies on her Collectees.

It seems Ser-Vasra has a range advantage (kilometers vs hundreds of meters), which allows her to summon her Collectees on top of Ruby (not really, about a meter away from Ruby, in front or behind her) while shooting Blast at her from two kilometers away. She would start with summoning a small number of Collectees, like 4-5, then eventually summon 20-30 of them suddenly to catch her opponent off-guard, who may or may not expect it.

Speaking of skill, surely Ruby is more skilled than Ser-Vasra herself, who is not even a fighter on her own. But Bronze Collectees are complete masters of multiple martial arts and weapon usages to the point of knowing every single thing achievable by them, and in large numbers, they can overwhelm people who are more skilled than this guy. Needless to say they have a massive LS advantage as well.

Despite not being a combatant, Ser-Vasra will slowly get close to Ruby, looking for an oppurtunity to use Rapacity because she likes to consume her targets before killing them if possibly, she'd like to add Ruby to her Collection.

Ruby has a considerable AP advantage, 1.6x is definitely significant, but Ruby needs to quickly figure out and rush to Ser-Vasra, ignoring the Collectees aside from dodging them. Despite being weaker, Ser-Vasra is a Congregrator and her status gives her additional survivability as Ruby would need to crush her chest and skull to stop her for good.

If Ser-Vasra feels too threatened (usually after she gets severely damaged), she may change her appearance to any of her Collectees, which is Info Type 2 and probably would hamper Ruby's ability to tell Ser-Vasra apart from the Collectees.

(Irrelevant but I can't even see Ser-Vasra's quote and link due to questionable color of choice lol)

 

[Spinoirr]

Ruby can just use petal burst, her semblance that grants a speed blitz amp to get close enough and if she tries to grab Ruby weapon then she can just use petal burst to get out with her weapon and focus on shooting Elemental aoe bullets that can curve or ki blasts

 

[Spinoirr]

• Petal Burst: Ruby's Semblance, an ability which allows her to move at a much greater speed than what she is normally capable of, appearing as nothing but a red blur leaving rose petals in its wake. She is capable of using this ability in midair as a means of flight, using it to repeatedly change directions in mid-air and attack at high speeds, and to create powerful whirlwinds that can suck in and knock away objects and foes caught by it and envelop her enemy in a tornado-like rush of air. She also exhibited the ability to seemingly transform into three separate clusters of rose petals, allowing her to flow around an opponent and their attacks before reforming. It is later revealed by Penny that Ruby's Semblance allows her to disassemble herself at a molecular level and reassemble at a chosen location. With practice, she has proven able to do the same with anyone she is in contact with. This allows her to go around obstacles or through paths that she would not otherwise fit.

 

[ExSENNA]

Petal Burst gets powernulled by Fair Sifting.

How so?

 

[ExSENNA]

How so?

All Collectees know Fair Sifting, which negates stat amps and renders them invalid.

Eh, she would still be able to turn into a cloud of molecules that grant flight and fly around things (as shown in super in her sparing match against Vegeta who has power Null of stat increases) witch is super useful

Also she needs to land 118.15 attacks to break her aura

Collectees and herself can hit smoke as if it is solid, that should cover cloud thing. All Collectees can fly as well. Fair Sifting is very layered.


How does that Aura Forcefield work? I don't know

(Why is Ruby allowed to have above High 8-C Forcefield here? That's like Ser-Vasra being able to summon 8-A Collectees)

Because that's how aura works, it acts like a health bar full body forcefield around her body that varies in durability due to the health bar mechanic behind it

Also Ruby can just Instinctively do this as a cloud of molecules

She can even charge up a massive energy beam like a massive Kamehameha basically while doing this

Like she has fought multiple foes before, hell she can harness the recoil to enhance her mobility and speed in combat, firing shots to propel herself short distances, simultaneously attacking and evading opponents. She also uses her weapon's recoil to launch herself into the air, as demonstrated when she is launched into the air

 

[Spinoirr]

Also read this Aura (RWBY) page on vs battle wiki for more information

Note: my version of Aura has a 70 times hit by comparable attacks damage cap before it breaks due to how I treat Aura in my crossover au

 

[ExSENNA]

Understood, it breaks eventually. Not sure if it's still allowed given OP says anything above High 8-C is restriced. Anyway. I assume it is allowed for now.

This is interesting. So once Ser-Vasra figures out her Collectees are not doing much damage (wont take too much), she'll probably command them to switch ranged with guns/rifles, and probably summon move than she usually does (wont summon more than 30 because they go rogue and she doesnt like that)

Collectees are not slick, they are very good shoots. 10-15 of them can overwhelm those who are more skilled than the dude I linked above. I'd argue a hail of bullets coming from dozens of Collectees who can also fly would break the Aura pretty quickly

Ruby would probably just respond with a massive energy beam and move it around to vaporize all the collectees because charing up ki beam boost their power due to damage boosting

Killing Collectees is a waste for Ruby, Ser-Vasra can replicate them, she has thousands of Bronze Collectees (Summons up to 30 at a time). Collectees aren't going to stand still and take it either, they can fly and maneuver around it. They would also surround her, not stay in one direction.

How does the Aura forcefield work? Is it around her body that prevents attacks from getting to her like a shield or is it like an armor? Would it prevent grappling? Either way Collectees will try for a grab and attempt to fold her with that LS advantage early on, if Aura prevents it, they will try it after breaking it. Turning to cloud wouldn't stop it either because they can grab her as if she is solid

Well aura has protected character from getting cut in half, stabed, shot by character stronger or comparable to them. It's a full body forcefield that's even around her weapon too and anything she has on her

Also Ruby would chose to focus on taking down the main one

Sure they can touch smoke, but a cloud of molecules is a whole different story, hell Ruby can fly and Instinctively split apart to avoid attacks too.

 

[Spinoirr]

Also like she fights like in cannon, but with dbz ki blasts added into the mix

Like she did this without any Ki attacks

And
This is all her cannon fights, note she is more skilled in my crossover au and she should be able to do most things post haven training in that video but with the added bonus of ki attacks like this



1:24 is a perfect example of how she counters getting grabed by superior lifting strength and her fighting style is fast, ruthless and making damn well sure you have no breathing room at all

 

[ExSENNA]

Isn't that kinda semantics now? Cloud and smoke are almost the same thing, it is not a stretch to say that one who can hit and grab smoke as if it is solid can do the same to cloud of molecules, come on now.

Instinctive action does not just make her unhitable, especially when she's gunned by dozens of people who are capable with their weapons and able to hit people with instinctive action.

 

[Spinoirr]

Also her shooting out hundreds of ki attacks like Vegeta does too

 

[Spinoirr]

Anyways I see she has zero resistance to electricity, so Ruby could just shoot her with multiple lightning dust bullets after dodging, spinning her scythe to avoid taking damage to get close enough in range to use lightning dust after seeing nothing is working

A AOE lightning attack basically

1:57

 

[ExSENNA]

Also her shooting out hundreds of ki attacks like Vegeta does too

That's fine and all but she'll also eventually be surrounded by dozens of people who are shooting hundreds of bullets at her, who will also try to fold her by grappling at any chance they get.


Electricity is interesting, it says brief paralysis. However, Ser-Vasra and her Collectees are not some giant robot that will stand there and take it, they all fly, and staying out of harm's way is Ser-Vasra's speciality given she doesn't have offensive combat capability of her own. She'll still be able to summon Collectees while paralyzed, and replicate paralyzed Collectees with others if Ruby hits them with it, and can command them to guard her.

I will sleep, we can continue tomorrow (prob evening or morning for you rn but good night anyway lol)

Bumping this

 

[ExSENNA]

She turns petals to counter it, not as effective against Collectees who can still hit and grab that as if it is solid, and tag and overwhelm people with flight, instinctive action, body control, stealth and skill enough to dodge shots from other people with comparable skills, when in large numbers


Also, forgot to mention this earlier, Ser-Vasra can survive and remain active when reduced to her skeletal structure, lacking most her flesh, muscles, and nervous system, doubt she will be too bothered by getting electrified given she doesn't even need nervous system to move her body.

 

[HonestlyBored24]

Bump

 

[ExSENNA]

Here's how I see this battle going

Ser-Vasra summons several of Collectees near Ruby, shoots Blast from two kilometers away slowly approaches while ordering her Collectees to try to get a grab
Ruby speed amp gets negated by Fair Sifting
Ruby turning into a cloud gets countered by NPI
AOE Attacks/Ki blasts is not something Ser-Vasra has not dealt with before and she is good enough to stay out of harm's way long enough, and Ruby attacking Collectees is a waste of time and energy for her
Collectees will fail to do damage to her/grab (if Aura prevents grappling) due to Aura, from there Ser-Vasra will think Ruby is too strong as her Collectees can't damage her, and Summon 20-30 of them trying to overwhelm her. Hail of bullets coming from this many Collectees who can tag people with flight and instinctive action and overwhelm skilled people when in great numbers will result in Aura breaking pretty quickly
Ser-Vasra probably wouldn't even be affected much by electricity given she can move as a skeleton

I think most of what Ruby does gets responded by Ser-Vasra and Collectees, making it unlikely for Ruby to get around all of this to get close to Ser-Vasra and damage her enough or the kill/incap before she herself gets blasted or grabbed, especially considering a a single grab would finish this match

Maybe you can also have arguments here otherwise this is frozen and will not end lol

I’m leaning towards Ser-Vasra, that’s all I can really say

 

[ExSENNA]

I vote for Ser-Vasra for all the reasons I provided so far in this thread. If Spinoirr or anyone else has more to say or add they can do so
