So in Volume 8, when Salem brings Monstra and her massive army for the siege on Atlas, one type of Grimm she has, Tempests which generate electricity, are used to guard the whale by creating a giant storm that prevents aircrafts from getting close as stated here. The storm was finally calculated and evaluated in this blog to be 115.031 Megatons (7-A). Of course, this is merely the total and not the AP of an individual Tempest, which is found by dividing the amount by how many Tempest there are. Now I tried and combed through the entire Volume looking to see how many Tempests there are, but the most that was ever shown on screen is 7, and I doubt that is all there were. But since I could not find a higher amount that will have to do, which makes the AP of a individual Tempest 16.433 Megatons (7-B).
Now with this, the only person who should scale to the individual AP of a Tempest is Salem, as she created the Grimm using her magic. We know she can create new types of Grimm, as we saw in the post credits of Volume 6 her using magic to make her Grimm army, as well as the fact that this isn't something she does overtime but quickly as shown by her continuously creating Grimm during her siege on Atlas. It was even stated by Blake that Grimm are being made faster than the Atlas Military can kill them, and that eventually the city would be overrun. Monstra itself is proof of her creating Grimm, as a giant Grimm that size with fully formed rooms and doors could not have formed naturally and was even stated in the concept art to be made of contamination and brimming magic.
With these facts, I believe Salem should be comparable to a Tempests AP and be 7-B.
