Hello, it's me again, with another Xenoblade 2 focused CRT. I just did one about the AP ratings, but the thing is... some of these AP ratings are entirely assumed. Specifically, those of the early game characters; the ones rated as "At least 6-C, possibly High 6-A". There's no calc for this, it's entirely based on assumptions of the size of the Titans and the like.

And so, I propose to replace it with a 5-C rating based on this:

Urayan Titan's Kinetic Energy: 5-C (98.28 Exatons)

Yep, it's a Tier 5 upgrade. Further supporting this scaling to all the early game Xenoblade 2 characters are statements from Malos. Specifically, Malos states that each of his Artifices (those being the Gargoyles) rivals even the largest of Titans, making his Gargoyles scale to Uraya. These Gargoyles are frequently fought enemies that all of the Torna cast are capable of fighting, including Brighid and Mythra. This would in turn scale to the Xenoblade 2 early game cast, as they can contend with Brighid.

Last thing I wanna add is that Alvis is currently scaled to "At least Low 7-C, possibly higher", with the latter part due to being an Aegis like Mythra and Malos and thus possibly being comparable to them. I don't wanna change this reasoning, but I wanna solidify the rating to an "At least Low 7-C, possibly 5-C". No one in Xenoblade 1 would scale off of this by the way, Alvis's few feats put him above everyone else in Xenoblade 1 at the time (like killing a Telethia that gave Shulk trouble).

And that's about it. Hopefully, this should be pretty straightforward. Now... DISCUSS!

This is also fine. Nice to finally see a calc for Pyra/Mythra to scale to.

Curious though, since Pyra’s strength is said to be only a shadow of Mythra’s, would that means Pyra would downscale to baseline 5-C (as the difference between the two value is about 3.3x so not a big drop where even though she is weaker, she can still contend with those scaling to 98.28 exatons)
 
Tbh I'd prefer not. For one, the 98.28 exaton rating scales to Malos's Gargoyles and not Malos himself, who scales even higher. Characters that fought Malos would scale higher than this value, so it kinda balances out. And doing this downscaling approach makes things needlessly convoluted given that Nia, Tora, etc. are comparable to Pyra and then end up comparable to Mythra almost spontaneously.
 
I'll say Neutral for now. As self-contradictory as this is going to sound, I'm going to have to ask for a 'why?' as far as what this calc achieves for profiles, but as long as we're getting and keeping some kind of lower alternate key for these characters, I'm in favour.

Yeah, I think we have enough approval to apply this if not already. What pages need unlocking?
 
I’m on mobile, but from what I can tell: Rex, Pyra, Nia, Tora, Zeke, Morag, Malos, Jin, and Amalthus

I can apply these changes when I get home in an hour or so

Was in the middle of so much multitasking, but am getting to opening the pages.
 
Unlocked them all. Let me know when you're done so I can lock them all back up.
