RWBY Vol 9 General Discussion Thread: Multiverse Of Therapy

Again, no, that is something every character can do, Vine even offered to teach Jaune how to extend his aura during the timeskip training period. And on top of that, the ability does not alter the durability of aura, it only changes its shape.
- 1,902

The problem is that all we have to go off of Vine’s semblance is that it stretches his aura. There are no mentions of said aura arms being more durable or powerful then the rest of the casts aura.
- 1,902
- 1,430
That’s fair. Still, without an explicit statement that his aura vines, which are made and extended from his aura, are tougher then his base aura, then it’s hard to claim that they should scale above other characters.
- 61,177

Elm also has the same kind of ability as Vine, she can create aura constructs in the same way with her semblance she just uses them differently
- 1,902
- 1,430
Side note: she has to have the worst semblance in the show. All it does is lock you in place and that’s it lol.

Its also hard to claim that RWBY characters in general have aura comparable to this feat, when its done on a specific character with the ability to manipulate his aura in this regard, and the Mantle-destroying Bomb was clearly implied to have been lethal to the likes of Qrow and the Ace-Ops, regardless on whether they had their aura up or not.
Vine merely contained the bombs implosion, he didn't tank it or survive it. His semblance showed resilience enough that you can say its probably the best feat of aura we've seen as of yet, but that doesn't mean every joe with an Aura of Vines regular combat calibre could survive the same feat.
Elm's ability is completely different. She merely roots herself into the ground. Its a lot more limited in its 'construct', and more specific of a construct compared to Vine, whose implied to make limbs and the capability of morphing them beyond so.

Octavia Ember's semblance gives her the ability to skate exclusively on sand
Pyke Rite's semblance gives him probability manipulation that he has zero control over the outcome of
Robin Hill can detect lies but only of people who are willing to hold hands with her
Lily can make small objects temporarily stick together
Chameleon can camouflage herself but needs to stay still and concentrate for it to work

Ok whatever discussion right now….which CRT are we doing first because there’s actually so much RWBY stuff to go over
- 61,177
- 14,747
Nothing implies it would have been lethal to them. They were trying to stop it from blowing up the city below them.
Yes, hence why it scales to aura durability, not physical durability
- 61,177
- 14,747
The gods is the one we're waiting on currently, unless someone wants to make a quick CRt to add the stuff from the JL film

It was. Its why they didnt sit there and stand. The bomb wouldn't have hit Mantle directly, as the bomb was meant to fall on Mantle and hit it directly. There might have been some damage, but there aint no way we're comparing every characters durability, to that of a last-resort bomb Ironwood was going to use to kill Monstro. Its a lot of topsy turvy logic
Aura Durability still withstands and scales to a character's physical strikes. The character has an aura supply that protects them from lethal damage and powers their semblance, but it can still be broken through and exhausted much like a durability gauge.
I thought it was the RWBY characters are still as durable as they are without Aura, but they just withstand injuries and cant use any of their semblance
Either way, theres literally no one else who could do what Vine's Semblance could and contain that blast, so im not sure we should be scaling that to everyone when it was clearly a self-sacrifical moment only he could do and contain in that moment
- 61,177
- 14,747
It requires no topsy turvy logic, its very straightforward.
No, it does not. Aura does not have a set durability, just a health bat and a cap to how much damage it can absorb before it breaks. It has nothing to do with durability.
Correct.
Jinx you do understand that this isnt even their best feat of aura durability right? Vine's aura containing the bomb is just a supporting feat.
- 1,902

What's the best aura durability feat?

um, Hazel fighting Salem on even ground???
Honestly we shouldn't even use the Mantle bomb to scale to Aura since its like a one time occurrence that only happens with Vine

Hazel fighting salem, Yang, Jaune, and Ren getting hit with Salem's magic, High 8-C Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald withstanding Amber's Maiden magic, Team RNJR withstanding Tyrian's attacks, etc.

So like large island?
- 61,177
- 14,747
city at best, no one scales to the island level stuff
- 1,902

So what would be the aura cap? Monstra’s KE?
- 61,177
- 14,747
Not yet, we need a calc for that and a calc for Ruby reacting to Clark's heat vision in the film
- 1,902
- 1,430
I rented my copy so RIP.
- 1,902
- 1,430
Also, when did Ruby react to the heat vision?
- 61,177
- 14,747
In the final battle, a beringel copied Clark's heat vision and Ruby reacted to it at close range
- 1,902
- 1,430
Gotcha. And his heat vision is usually considred to be a laser, right?
- 1,902
- 1,430
It did. But, logically, Team RWBY's reactions would still be the same. In fact, I'd say that they are more likely to be nerfed then buffed, seeing how it was a big trap by Kilgore.
- 3,780
- 4,080
How fast is Clark’s heat vision in the movie? Is it gonna produce good results.
- 1,902
- 1,430
That's what I'm trying to figure out. Since, isn't Superman's heat vision basically a laser beam in other comics?
- 7,890

I don't see how anything within a simulation is genuinely scalable to the real characters.
- 1,902
- 1,430
I don’t see why not. The only characters who explicitly get weaker are the JL members. There are no mention of the RWBY cast being weaker.
- 61,177
- 14,747
Because it's a simulation of real world combat? That's the entire point of it being a combat simulation?
- 8,805
- 2,864
- 3,780
- 4,080
This is a bad example.
Yeah an explosion of a star is tier 4, the fact that it’s in a simulation doesn’t mean that if the feat happened in the real world, it wouldn’t be tier 4.
The argument here is that the simulation is indicative of RWBY’s actual abilities and strengths. So what happens there would follow with what RWBY can do since that’s what the simulation is based around.
Just like if we simulate a star exploding, we would get a tier 4 result and therefore say that a star exploding…is tier 4.
