I have two questions regarding the Tiering System

[Vizer04]

What does + means (as in Mountain level+) and what's the bare minimum to upgrade someone to baseline of a tier (if someone is too close to the next tier)

"+" symbol​

Currently misused to an extraordinary degree on the wiki, the "+" symbol should be used when the Attack Potency has been calculated to be greater than the average (arithmetic mean) of the high end energy level and low end energy level of a particular tier.

The "+" symbol can also be used if there exists a calculation extremely close to the arithmetic mean, and characters scale above the calculated feat by a wide margin, for example being able to defeat enemies on such levels with a single casual attack.

Example: Average of Large Building level is: [2 Tons (low end) + 11 tons (high end)]/2 = 6.5 Tons (the arithmetic mean). All energy levels from 2 Tons to 6.5 Tons should be listed as Large Building level, whereas all energy levels from 6.5 Tons to 11 Tons should be listed as Large Building level+.

That's from the Attack Potency page

Idk about the upscaling part though

Thank you

and what's the bare minimum to upgrade someone to baseline of a tier (if someone is too close to the next tier)

I'm pretty sure that is defined in a case by case basis, and there's no strict multiplier for this

Used to be 15%, but now it can be higher depending on the case, is now alqayw defined by discussions

wasn't it 50% not 15%?

But yeah, there's no defined limit now, it's still far more strict, even one-shot scaling isn't enough for a 30% difference

For the symbol part, it just means they are above the mid-end.

So, for example, High 8-C ranges from 2 to 11 tons of tnt. Combine them, and then divide by 2, we get 6.5 tons of tnt. If anyone is 6.5 tons of tnt, or above, they'd get a Plus sign next to their AP.

Nope, it was 1.15, not 1.5

I was sure it was 1.5

 

[EmilioRory10]

yeah it was 1.5 as you can see in the post that changed how we do upscaling

the + multiplier is for ppl who are more than halfway to the next tier i think
