How would this be worded?

[Valiant_Abyss]

There's a character that I want to make a profile for an there's a specific feat in particular that I think should get a ", likely higher" acknowledgement, but I'm not quite sure how to word it.

Character A gets into a fight with Character B and is barely able to hold his own and pretty much gets overpowered. Later on (as in a couple of minutes), Character B shows up again but with 3 other characters comparable to Character B. However, character A gets handed another copy of the exact same weapon he was using earlier (basically gets double swords) and is somehow not only able to fend off Character B, but all of Character B's allies as well. Hell it's even later implied that Character A BEAT Character B (the remainder of the fight took place offscreen), despite neither character gaining any kind of boost or weakening in the time between the two interactions aside from getting a second copy of the weapon.

I feel like this deserves mention, but I'm really not sure how to word this on the profile at all.

Maybe that just means the extra weapon gave character A some AP boost but the work of fiction isn't acknowledging it maybe??

Here I'll send some clips. Early game spoilers for Astral Chain if you care btw.

A momentary cutscene of the first encounter.

The second encounter. 1:08:04 - 1:10:05

The cutscene for the second encounter is a bit long, but I wanted to show him being given the extra weapon.

So the Old guy right?? The father of the siblings...

Well the Red Sword wielding Legion seems to hold the advantage in the first encounter....but didn't feel that much of an advantage...mostly comparable......then he retreats with others for their safety it seems.

The 2nd encounter.....it does feels like a "last stand" kind of thing usually that happens in stories.....especially one to hold of enemies from allies....so I don't think the extra sword gave him the boost but rather it was "emotion boost"....both boost and gaining of the extra sword happens at the same time but nothing indicates one is causation of other.
Of course I know nothing about these swords...they seem purely "mechanical" I guess ......I doubt it could give any internal amp.
Obviously I could be wrong....since I don't know the intrecasies of the game.

But tldr;
The the new sword that is gained happens to coincide with emotion boost..but I don't feel it is causation of it.

Hope that helps.

So I guess just "likely higher" for the tiering and just explain that he was able to hold them off in the AP section. Got it. Thanks for the help.

And yeah, there isn't really anything indicating the X-baton would give him an internal amp at all.

Well if you care at all, I made the profile.

Small Building level (Can fight Aberrations. Should be at least comparable to Pre-Sync Legionis), likely higher (Was able to fend off 4 berserk Legions and was later implied to have temporarily re-captured the Axe Legion).


Well I think this works....
