I made a grave mistake in scaling BORUTO which inflated a ton of characters, and it all stems from Sarada's Sharingan and her Chakra-Enhanced Strikes.
Currently Sarada's Academy key scales to her Cherry Blossom Impact that she used in Naruto Gaiden aka the Sarada Uchiha Arc. My issue with this is that I believe this should scale towards her usage with her Sharingan rather than in base, because this isn't something that she can just do in base, as shown prior when she punches a tiny Shin clone, the difference in the damage surrounding the punch are like night and day. This isn't to say that she doesn't already have super human strength, since she did crack the ground without the Sharingan, but it's clear that the Sharingan allows her to channel more her chakra into her strikes for larger impacts. This also explains why in the Kara Actuation Arc, Sarada had Sakura train her in refining her chakra control so that she can massively increase the strength of her strikes without losing too much chakra in the meantime while using the Sharingan.
So the way I see her scaling would be:
A) "X, Y with Sharingan" or
B) "X, Y with Cherry Blossom Impact"
C) "X, Y with Chakra Enhanced Strikes"
I personally think A sounds best, but I'll leave that up to everyone else to decide which sounds better for her profile.
I made this into multiple parts because this will essentially downgrade a ton of characters who may scale (physically) to Sarada as I never made the distinction on her profile. So characters such as the other members of Team 7; (Base) Boruto, (Base) Mitsuki and (Base) Kawaki will be downgraded as they have no feats scaling to Sarada's strongest attacks. It's also made abundantly clear that Sarada is the heavy hitter in Team 7 in multiple missions and fights they get into with alot of their formations that they utilize. Since this affects not just her first key but EVERY key I'll get into more detail in Part 2 and maybe 3 if there's a need for one. (There's also an issue that Team 7, Sarada included, scales to her Fireball Jutsu physically, which should be fixed due to KingTempest's UES thread, hence why there's gonna be more than one Part.Sarada is to blame for all the Boruto scaling issues, not me, I swear..)
So Part 1 will just focus on breaking down Sarada's AP and how it should best be detailed on the profile. If this thread passes with enough agrees from Staff, I won't right away fix her profile, as I currently don't have any calcs or feats for (Academy) Base Sarada, and I'm currently looking for some. This thread is just to get it out of the way so when I do find one I can get started on Part 2.
