Weiss, the Rat Exterminator

[Schnee_One]

Using the Grimm as an example isn't much of an argument as Weiss is still fully serious on them on top of it

If she sees it's a threat to her, she's going all out

The problem is that she won't see a threat Ok, my jokes suck but you get the point

 

[Standuser081]

All she basically sees is a rat squinting at her. Then she gets scoped.

 

[Schnee_One]

And then survives

 

[Standuser081]

Ratt's bullets negate durability

 

[DALOKA]

She has aura, standuser081. Even if Ratt will melt her aura, it probably can tank a hit before fading IMO. Even if i think BE win, i'm not sure he's one shoting her.

 

[Ecstasy_Amphetamine]

Ratt fires darts in burst mode, she's going to receive a large dose of that poison. Ratt can also ricochet its darts.

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

She would just make a forcefield with her semblance.

 

[Ecstasy_Amphetamine]

Why would she do that? She can't see Ratt and doesn't know what's hitting her exactly. Also by the time she does that, there are multiple darts on her already.

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Because the moment her aura starts getting hit she will try and stop whatever is hitting it. Hell, the moment she's hit she would catapult herself away and use protective stuff.

 

[TacticalNuke002]

Except she isn't getting hit with just one, its a full burst that has about 5-6 darts.

 

[Standuser081]

Wait, how will she even know that it's coming from Bug-Eaten? She can't even see the stand.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

A burst of 5-6 attacks isnt going to take her aura down, hed need ~6 bursts to do that

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

It shouldn't take it down regardless, since the stuff hit takes some time to melt.

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Wait, how will she even know that it's coming from Bug-Eaten? She can't even see the stand.

She knows she's fighting a rat, and something that comes from it's direction starts hitting her...

 

[TacticalNuke002]

Because the aura melts. How RWBY auras work shouldn't stop BE from melting it. It can melt souls and soul based manifestations, so aura shouldn't be an exception.

 

[Ecstasy_Amphetamine]

Hmmm, does she know where it's coming from if the darts ricochet to her other sides? Hmm? Bug-Eaten will reposition stealthily and find a new sniping position, and she can't properly see something with type 1 small size with that distance.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

It wouldn't melt her aura, only damage it

 

[Ecstasy_Amphetamine]

And why won't it melt?

 

[Standuser081]

It melted stands. Auras are no exception.

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

I don't see why she couldn't replace the melted parts, they can make more of their aura spread whenever they want.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

As I said before you either break all of a user's aura or you dont. It is impossible to break only one part of a users aura

 

[GreyFang82]

I think Weiss has got this, contact can't be established and Weiss just forks up Rat the moment she gets close enough.

This is assuming Rat's bullets aren't intangible. I'm assuming they aren't because they bounced of rocks to hit Jotaro.

 

[Ecstasy_Amphetamine]

It doesn't matter. That aura will transfer damage to the afflicted part, bypassing her forcefields.

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

It doesn't matter. That aura will transfer damage to the afflicted part, bypassing her forcefields.

No. That's a stand mechanic, in rwby their soul getting beaten up only passes pain through, and this isn't even painful as far as we know.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

@Xtasy Aura doesn't transfer damage, only stands do that

 

[GreyFang82]

Yeah I'm with Weekly here

 

[TacticalNuke002]

A burst of 5-6 attacks isnt going to take her aura down, hed need ~6 bursts to do that

So 30-36 hits. That's kinda very different from the Pol thread where it was said that Pol's gonna need 12 hits. And BE's AP is higher than Pol's.

As for the aura melting, if a move can melt something that has a certain composition, it shouldn't have any reason not to melt something else that has the very same composition. Stands and auras have the exact same composition. "Nah, different mechanics" just feels like double standards.

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

Weekly's got a point.

 

[TriforcePower1]

This is assuming Rat's bullets aren't intangible. I'm assuming they aren't because they bounced of rocks to hit Jotaro.

They're selective intangible, like nearly every other stand.

 

[Standuser081]

Eh, it would still melt the aura.

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Also, what stops from just reabsorbing (not sure that's the right way to say it) her aura?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Ven if it did melt part od her aura the rest of her aura would just close over the melted part instantly until her aura is depleted

 

[TacticalNuke002]

Because its a burst. A continuous stream of bullets one behind the other. The 4th to 6th bullets should enter through the hole created by the meltdown.

 

[Chartate101]

You can't just say "well, yes it will" without proof

 

[WeeklyBattles]

@Tactical Not when the aura closes the damage instantly. And even the the melting is slow

 

[GreyFang82]

I feel like since stands can be melted and stands come from the soul then since aura comes from the soul it can be melted too

Stands reflect damage back at the user if it is damaged, and according to Weekly Aura hasn't shown that property. That argument is kinda flawed.

 

[Standuser081]

@Weekly Jotaro's hand was instantly turned into goo as he got hit with Bug-Eaten's darts.

 

[TacticalNuke002]

BE's darts don't damage beyond the initial impact. The melted matter actually behaves like a unhurt person with all vital processes intact. If there was something to compare it to, it'd be Vitamin C. https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Tamaki_Damo

Weiss aura will be a puddle on the floor (lightly damaged).

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

@Weekly Jotaro's hand was instantly turned into goo as he got hit with Bug-Eaten's darts.

It was fast, but not instant. There was a specific point where, after hit, the bullet and nearby flesh was removed and he didn't melt anymore. So it simply spreads fast.
