The current Lord of the Rings 6-B rating comes from the feat of Osse lifting Elenna-nore: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Amelia_Lonelyheart/Middle-earth:_Osse_raises_Elenna-nórë
The calculation uses gravitational potential energy. However, per our revised rules after a revision a while ago:
"However, lifting should generally not be used to calculate Attack Potency unless it is a fast, explosive form of lift (for example: snatch, clean-and-jerk, etc.). This is based on the biomechanics behind how human type characters attack. Unlike a punch, a kick, or most other types of attacks, a lift is a slow sustained motion which allows for many more muscles fibers to be recruited into the movement more easily, generating much more energy than a fast movement used in combat. Lifting movements also allow the body's tendons to help out by storing the energy, then releasing it in a sudden burst, acting like a spring. If we use real world ratios, when the world's heaviest deadlift is compared to the world's most powerful punch, the deadlift has nearly 5 times more energy, demonstrating the disparity between the two types of movements. Similarly, if telekinesis (or any other ability of a similar nature) is used, the lifting must be performed in a timeframe capable of being used as an attack."
If anyone has feats in replacement feel free to bring them up, otherwise they should be downgraded to the lesser end of Gandalf's current tiering of 7-B.
