The Boys mid tiers upgrades

[Omegas03]

Pardon my wording here

So, uh, Soldier Boy completely vapourizes the Crimson Countess with his own blast, which also leaves the whole building they were at in ashes and the shockwave from the blast also reaches several meters further

The feat I am referring to:

Could this possibly be an 8-C feat? Because characters like Kimiko, Starlight and others would scale from it seeing as Kimiko withstood the explosion.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Vaporizing someone is 9-A, though he destroyed the entire house in a single blast. That could be 8-C, but it's better to get the feat calculated.

Well... that's what we are waiting for. Vaporizing the entire house may not only be 8-C (it could be higher), I think.

 

[Psychomaster35]

You got a scene showing the full shot of the house before it got destroyed?

 

[Omegas03]

I'll try to look for it

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I don't think it's correct to say he vaporizes the entire house given there's still a bunch of rubble; just he vaporizes the body and also fragments the house.

 

[Hellbeast]

I'd say use the explosion he creates since the body is still there, just skeletal. I'd also suggest waiting for season's end before doing anything with Soldier Boy

 

[Psychomaster35]

I'd say use the explosion he creates since the body is still there, just skeletal.

I mean, it would still be 9-A at the bare minimum as per this calculation of reducing humans to a skeleton

 

[Hellbeast]

True but we already have 9-A via Homelander and the feats are casual.

Should there be insane AP upgrades due to Butcher and Soldier Boy being able to harm Homelander who has low 7-C durability?

Spoiler

low 7-C Hughie, lets ******* gooooo! Homelander is also no longer a stonewall and it seems that Temp V gives similar stat boosts to every user

 

[Omegas03]

Spoiler

idk if Hughie can scale, but the other 3 (HL, SB and Butcher) definitely have Low 7-C stats now unless VBW wants to deem them as outliers.
PLUS, if Queen Maeve turns out to be alive she'll most likely give a fight to Homelander in the next episodes (come on, she is (or was) the third mightiest of the heroes). Just a gut feeling, which means she'll eventually scale too

ALSO, two house destroying feats (ep 5 and 6 respectively) which can easily support everything mentioned before and can also upgrade the mid tiers (such as Kimiko, Starlight, etc) of the cast too.

Soldier Boy is strong enough to trade blows with Homelander, although slightly inferior as Homelander eventually had the upper hand and Butcher had to step in. Both of them scale to Low 7-C as they're strong enough to harm Homelander with their blows, I don't think Hughie scales. It also took Soldier Boy, Butcher and Hughie to restrain him Also it's nice to see that Homelander actually has hella good h2h skills, a lot of people theorized he'd be bad at h2h since he never needed to be good at it since he's so much stronger than anyone else.

All we need now is High 7-C feats so Homelander can throwdown with Armstrong

Spoiler

Armstrong still has way more abilities and hax that give him the win even if you equalize physicals and speed.

Spoiler

Yeah. I don't see Homelander having any wincon against him but it would be a cool fight to see.

 

[Omegas03]

Spoiler

Back to the original topic, anyone got a clip of Countess' full house before getting destroyed? This can potentially upgrade even the mid tiers bc Kimiko tanked the same blast later on.

 

[Hellbeast]

I'd also note the Wall feat but idk if Kimiko would scale to the blasts

 

[Omegas03]

an possibly would make sense as she survived it point blank, or at least scale to the human vaporization part of the blast (9-A)

The kimiko getting thrown throught a wall should also be looked upon too it may give interesting values.

Vought probably standardizes basic hand-to-hand since its supposed to be a military/pharmaceutical organization rather than entertainment. Besides, if your heroes don't even know how to throw a good punch, why even bother.

 

[Omegas03]

Heh, bumping this as someone calced the episode 5 explosion

 

[FantaRin_The_First]

Where's the link for it?

 

[Omegas03]

https://vsbattles.com/threads/the-boys-tv-show-massive-upgrades-on-the-way.134104/#post-4892065

It's on this thread, was calced to around 2 tons of TNT but we may need a blog for it to apply.

 

[Omegas03]

Bump

 

[Just_Butchering]

The thread is kinda dead lol, but I wanted to say that kimiko shouldn't scale. The blast she took was from a recently awaken Soldier Boy, that most likely wasn't at full power.
It specially make sense when you see that:
A- she is far weaker than SB
B- the same blast SB believes can kill Homelander, which wouldn't make sense if Kimiko can survive it.
