One-shotting multiple characters scaling question.

[Padaruyos]

Does one shotting multiple characters at once give higher value than one shotting one character?

Let's say
A is an 8-C+ character. And he can make clones of himself that's exactly as powerful and durable as him.

B one shots 2 clones of A via.
1. A wide-range explosion that destroys both of them.
2. An energy beam that passes through the first A clone and into the second A clone, killing both.
3. An energy beam that splits into two separate beams and kills them both.
4. B smashes a clone of A into another A clone, killing them both.

Which one of these feats would give B an 8-B rating from one shotting multiple 8-C+ characters?

Sadly, none of 'em. B, in this case, would just massively upscale from A and would still be in the same tier as 'em unless B has feats to put him in a higher tier.

None. We don't increase AP yield of B just because he OHKs a number of Character As with same dura. B would just massively upscale from A by an unquantifiable amount.

Actually the third one might actually warrant upscaling assuming he divided the energy equally among the two blasts when it split. As it means half of the original attacks power is able to kill someone of a certain tier, meaning the OG attack should be 2x stronger.

Nope. Doesn't work that way either.

Wait, what? Huh, weird.

Yeah, it's just some issue with Damage Stacking and Calc Stacking rules. Physics isn't entirely linear with being X times more energy equaling X times more damage; in one way or the other, it often either becomes more than X times or less than X times being the gap.

Plus, character's cloning themselves has often been made inconsistent and one has to consider that circular is a common issue for a lot of verses. Character A had hundreds of clones overpowered by Character B, Characters B was weaker than Character C, and Character A was still able to fight on a sort of level playing field one on one with Character C. Which the 3rd example shouldn't be the case at all if Character B was hundreds of times stronger than Character A.
