Yeah ok, this took way too long to happen but it's happening.
I was going to link feats for each of these points but Rooster Teeth took all their shit off of YouTube and I don't want to give their website traffic, so if anything isn't alarmingly obvious I'll cite it if requested.
If anyone would like to mark themselves down for a profile to fix just post here about it.

Scaling / Major Tier Upgrades
- Overall, nothing crazy. There's a few good feats but sort of nothing past what we already have.
- RWBY, JNR, Oscar : Go through another round of training. We're kind of getting a trend where every two Volumes they train, get stronger. Miles and Kerry channeling shounen energy here. The training doesn't actually give them a new tier or very much upscaling purely based on feats - however if we see new feats in Volume 8 that the crew scales to this is where we will likely cut the line. Oscar has a feat where he busts some inordinate amount of rock but that probably doesn't scale to anyone because of him slowly regaining Ospin's power/memories.
- Penny : Penny 2.0 scales to or above the Ace Ops and current cast. T-Poses on Cinder until she brings out Maiden powers. Resists temperatures that freeze through Aura and is straight-up freezing air solid.
- Winter : T-Poses on Cinder until Maiden powers comes in like basically everyone on the show at this point. Should scale to Vol 7 crew if she doesn't already.
- Watts : Fights evenly with Ironwood, both physically and with weapons. Has a bunch of powers that will be described below.
- Fria : T-Poses on Cinder like basically every other Maiden at this point. Makes shit very cold, but doesn't really do anything above what we say Maidens are at right now.
- Ace Operatives : All are High 8-C and scale some amount above the end-of-volume-6 crew. They're the best huntsmen in Atlas and represent, alongside prime Grimm Reaper, the absolute peak of huntsmen scaling/tiering. And team RWBY beats them in a evenly-matched fight at the end of the Volume.
- Thicc Grimm Mammoth : >>> End-of-Volume 7 Penny and Ruby. It required Penny to heat its tusk to red-hot temperatures and Ruby tripping it up onto its own tusk to actually put it down. ***** on an Ace-Op and nearly stomps her to death. Penny couldn't even lift it, which I think is an anti-feat for Class K huntsmen but that debate's for later.
- Grimm Whale : ******* huge. It causes a storm around itself just by moving around, is larger than Atlas. No idea what tier this is but it probably pisses all over the Wyvern as the strongest Grimm creature now.
- If I'm missing any, just holler.
Powers
- Jaune: Light Manipulation/Forcefield Creation with Hard Light Dust, Gravity Manipulation with Gravity Dust
- Yang: Has sticky grenades she can detonate after releasing from Ember Celica. Can just be listed under her already existing explosion manip.
- Vine/Elm : Standard Aura Powers, Energy Projection and Statistics Amplification (for Elm) with Semblance
- Harriet : Standard Aura Powers, Statistics Amplification (Speed) with Semblance.
- Marrow : Weird as hell. Standard Aura Powers, Paralysis Inducement (tenative label) with Semblance
- Clover : Standard Aura Powers, Probability Manipulation / Supernatural Luck with Semblance.
- If I'm missing any, just holler.
Couple Retroactive Changes
- Sword beam is no longer 8-B when we take into account more realistic volume ratios for metal in armored aircraft. This also means that this calcfrom Rusty should be disregarded since it just assumes an arbitrary volume ratio that doesn't hold up to extremely basic scrutiny. I'll repost my debunk of that feat here. Thus Penny should just have a flat High 8-C rating.
- Just to demonstrate how mind-numbingly wrong this calc method is, if we just take the empty fuselage volume of a Boeing 747 (smaller by volume than the entire plane by a bunch), 876 cubic meters and calc the weight with Rusty's method, saying it's 40% Aluminum by volume for ... reasons ... that's 350.4 cubic meters of solid freaking Aluminum. Aircraft grade aluminum alloy has a density of 2.810 g / cm^3, so that's a whopping 984624 kg of metal. An entire Boeing 747 weighs 41145 kg, your math was off, for a fraction of the volume, by an entire order of magnitude or 23x. I don't care how aerodynamic these dropships are, but at least use material ratios that aren't pulled straight out of your rear end.
- Bit more quippy than I'd like but it gets the point across.
- This shouldn't result in any match removals as far as I'm aware of.
- This calc and this calc don't understand extremely fundamental stuff regarding dust. Ice Dust doesn't freeze air or water to form ice crystals, it just spontaneously generates the ice similar to other elemental dusts like rock dust. Weiss can use it to freeze things, however the calc used ice she created above the water, not the water that she froze around that. Multi-City Block level durability for her ice is also entirely unjustified on the profiles and makes zero sense whatsoever, since the durability feats purely consisted of "unable to be broken by High 8-C characters", which isn't 8-A by several orders of magnitude. Also the second calc wasn't ever accepted so
- tl;dr: 8-A Ice Dust isn't real, 8-A Ice Dust durability is even less real. Weiss's Ice should just be delegated to "higher" in Durability with the citations that it restrains characters similar to her AP.
- This shouldn't result in any match removals as far as I'm aware of.
Citations Project
Currently, Weiss' profile has proper citations, with each instance of powerscaling, each relevant feat, and most of her major powers linked with references. Please use this as an example for adding references to other RWBY profiles, and I'll be trying to do this to other pages that are very lacking.
Code:
Put this code after an explaination of a feat:
<ref>[linktofeat.com Volume X Chapter X]</ref>
Then put this code after the "Others" section.
