Hello everyone, here's a nice, simple, and quick AP update for Puzzle and Dragons, no big lore dumps or confusing mechanics about power systems.
GrimRock punches the ground and makes a fissure and we calced it, simple as that. The accepted Calc is from the updated EDIT, and is the mid end which got a result of 331,105,611,600 Joules, which I believe is City Block Level+ if I checked my math right.
GrimRock is a 3 Star Monster, which are currently Building Level based on scaling to Mistrain's natural lightning feat. This is a bit of a jump in power, but it does at least stay within the Tier 8 brackets, and Mistrain's description is far more casual than GrimRock's, so I don't think this is a particular outlier, especially since there are so far only 2 good feats total anyways. I think this is a pretty non-controversial AP upgrade for this monster class.
Because this AP rating is so close to the threshold for Multi-City Block Level though (Again, if I've done my math right, I believe it's only a 1.2x difference), 3 Star Monsters who have abilities or powers that give them multipliers will probably need Multi-City Block Level listed for those abilities. For example: The Heavy Infantry Hobgoblin can double its AP with 'Defensive Position', so it would likely need a rating similar to: "City Block Level+, Multi-City Block Level with 'Defensive Position'"
The following profiles would need updated for this change:
