I dont think this thread ever decided which calc to scale to, as people kept trying to bring other stuff to get calced
As I said before, the Ishtar or Caladbolg thing are likely the best options to scale to for NPs. The two lower ones are just kinda meh. One being the side effect of a weakened version of an NP. The Caladbolg one is arguably better for scaling than the Ishtar one in my opinion but eh
As for scaling from this point its pretty simple, you just scale it to the other NPs, and vaguely and unquantifiably downscale for lower rank ones if you're absolutely dead set on scaling by ranks, since there isn't some massive power difference always shown between them to warrant them scaling to different calcs.
This then brings the issue of servant stats. To be frank, servants can not be low 7-B, 7-B, anything like that if any calc besides the CBA one is picked. NPs do not instantly delete all servants they near, they are strong, yes, they don't annihilate everyone in the war the instant they're used, as a difference in strength of these levels would imply. In fact, we have more than one example of servants surviving noble phantasms. Heracles of course with Caladbolg or whatever else like Excaliblasts or whatever, Nero face tanking Excalibur Galatine twice, Rider surviving after Via Expugnio failed to stop Excalibur, etc.
