Question about Attack Pottency

[Alonik]

I have a question regarding the relationship between the Attack Potency page and the One-Shot page, specifically about the minimum threshold required for an action to qualify as a "one-shot". At the moment, this seems somewhat unclear (at least from a friend's perspective). Is there a defined baseline that must be met, such as a significant gap between attack potency and durability, or is this determined more contextually? For example, one interpretation suggests that if Character A is capable of one-shotting Character B (who is Multi-Continent level in durability), then Character A should automatically scale to a higher tier (e.g., Moon level).

Does a one-shot inherently imply a higher tier, or can it simply reflect a sufficient margin within the same tier? I mean, could a character who is still within the Multi-Continent level (for instance, a higher-end value within that tier) one-shot another Multi-Continental character based on the joule range covered by that tier’s Attack Potency standards, without necessarily qualifying for a higher tier?

It gets far harder to "upscale" characters to the next tier the higher and higher you go in AP values, with multi continent level being one of those tiers I believe, as a character can scale to 7 petatons, yet would absolutely get one shot by another multi continent level character who scales to 200 petatons as an example. While I'm not 100% sure about this, I believe the main way a character can jump tiers through one shotting is mainly if the character who was one shot (character A) was already on the very cusp of being the next tier, then the argument can be made that the character who performed said one shot (character B) would be a tier above. But don't quote me on that

This question heavily reminds me of this match. To answer your question - one-shot would upscale that character to new tier, if another character was really close to that tier, but I can't tell if former gets exactly 8x multiplier from it. Also yes, characters who have the same tier can one-shot each other if they one of them have 8x ap over that characters durability

Yeah it's like a 1.2 or 1.5x difference. So if a character is like 24 exatons and another one shots them, they'd be baseline moon level.

That's only for vs matches.

So, basically if we don't have any other feats - it's 1.2 - 1.5 multiplier instead of 8 over character that got one-shoted?

Yeah the characters have to be 1.2x away from the next tier for whoever one shot them to be the next tier.
