I am making this CRT, with such UNBRIDLED rage, that the power provided to me by Fujiwara and DMUA has motivated me to start fixing this verse.
But, all journeys start from humble beginnings.
MISTER ELECTRIC, NUKE THIS CALC OFF THE FACE OF THIS WIKI AND HAVE WEEKLY PERMABANNED!
The point of this CRT is to remove Yang and everyone's 8-A rating and the scaling from RWBY Arrowfell entirely, as the sole 8-A feat everyone scales to is completely built on misinformation.
The feat in question is Yang "melting" iron blocks in RWBY Arrowfell, and was calc'd by WeeklyBattles (you can probably see where this is going).
At a first, uninformed glance, it seems fine, but as you look into it, you start to realize some issues.
THE BIG ISSUE
First off, in the footage shown, Yang does not melt these iron blocks she punches the ground, and it blows up, but it's noted in a screenshot that it's confirmed Yang melts the cubes.
But, you see, the issue is this ignores the ENTIRE context of the scene where the upgrade to this ability happens.
Look at these screenshots for when you unlock Burn (Full scene with timestamp linked here)
Yang is not actually melting the blocks, nor does she do it with her semblance (that is never even mentioned to have fire abilities). She is using combustion dust, which is DIRECTLY noted to boost your physical capabilities and activities, with the character even giving examples such as throwing a fishing sear or throwing a jab.
After this, Yang then gets her semblance "upgraded" (very clear game mechanics) and she can now destroy iron blocks.
Now we still have the statement of it being able to melt blocks, but no where has Yang shown fire abilities and no where was it stated that combustion dust melts objects, but the most important part is that this semblance ability gets UPGRADED over the course of the game, and is related to a specific ground pound attack meant to destroy these blocks. Earlier in the game you can only destroy stone blocks, but later with this upgrade you can now destroy iron blocks, and based off the fact that the animation does not change, the blocks still blow up, and the nature of combustion dust, this is not melting at all, she is simply blowing them up with her combustion dust amp'd strength. The quote just used the worst wording possible, and someone took it a BIT too literally.
THE CONCLUSION
This calc needs to be axe'd and the scaling to this calc will also go with it. Arrowfell is still canon, but this feat relies on blatant misinformation and should not be used anymore.
