RWBY General Revision Thread

Why do we assume aura has 4x durability of the characters when 4x is not enough to one shot?
Especially when the attack that has the 4 times multiplier is a wind attack that can’t directly hit people. So it has even less reason to fully scale to whoever it hits.

Also want to point this out here. If we actually do accept Aura just being a 4X multiplier for defense, then everyone’s Aura being City level despite being physically town level makes no sense given the massive gap between 15 kilotons and 10 megatons
That's what around 800x or so?
 
I feel like the City level aura shouldn't really scale especially considering it's a massive jump in terms of power compared to everything else. The 4x multiplier is already being called into question considering its coming from a non-AP based attack. This is a literal 666x multiplier and it killed Vine while trying to stop it.
 
Can't really put a exact number on their auras as, aura levels variety between people as jaune was said to have lots of it
 
Pretty sure that was just a foreshadow to his semblance given he can recharge people’s auras with his semblance
 
Nah in the show we actually see jaune has his aura more aura then Yang and Ren when they checked how much they had in the cold, they keep saying he has more aura then most people so it aura levels do indeed variey from person to person

Jaune even said he had more aura then normal after unlocking his semblance "phyrra always did say I had more aura then most"

Indeed, i find hard to believe that the characters's Auras can be High 7-C to 7-B while they are dozens if not hundreds of times physically weaker, despire the fact that characters are capable to damage and even shatter each other Aura.

Either we put them at High 7-C to 7-B in both Attack Potency, Striking Strength and Durability or we delete High 7-C to 7-B completely.

Regarding the changes I noticed. Isn’t this High 8-C+ Calc scales to Volume 4-5 Weiss and anybody who scales to her

And we have characters like Jaune Arc who is 8-C+ in his first key. I was wondering if he was backscaling to 8-C+ from Ruby
 
Huh. Seemingly that's the case, it does say he's weaker than Ruby and Ruby's like just above baseline so maybe its just downscaling but I don't know
 
I’m going to try to keep track of the conclusions this thread came to

  1. 8-A multiplier: Soundly rejected and removed, placing the Post-Haven at High 8-C+ instead.
  2. Lifting Strength: All participating staff (Sir Ovens, Abstractions, and Theglassman) deemed the Nevermore feat unusable. However Cringe Superman from the JL crossover has a Class K feat (and Vol 2-3 Ruby held him back), and Ren’s feat of holding back a King Taijitu was calculated at Class Kbut this is pending evaluation.
  3. Aura durability: The 4x multiplier and Vine’s 7-B feat were deemed unreliable and will be replaced by “higher with Aura”.

Actually the Nevermore feat never had the whole "If Ruby couldn't lif it her arm should have snapped" argument even commented on.
 
Yeah that seems about it. If lifting strength needs to be discussed some more we could but other than that we're just waiting on the "higher with aura" revision to be applied if someone wants to do that
 
I've edited all the profiles to fit the changes and a couple that were missed. For Flynt and Yang I pretty much just replaced all the 4x stuff and just put "higher" or completely took out anything that was related to the 4x multiplier.
 
Just wanted to know after the Class M discussion, are there are any other feats from Volume 8 to look at or have they all been used?
 
If we're in agreement on Post Haven and Pro Huntsman tier characters getting Class M, I'll add it right now. I have all the tabs open for them.
