@molt:Ok lets get to the heart of the arguments.
Strength Counters
Does the explosive force actually destroy anything? To me it looks like a flashy clash you see in lots of fiction work, but it’s hard to get an estimate of energy quantification behind the clash if it didn’t destroy something.
Well we see what happens with a mini nuke of explosion when the weaker Orbital Frame Dolores does this.
Jehuty is again the stated strongest orbital frame along with its twin Anubis. Plus this was a weaken Doleres ontop of that. Not sure what that calcs too. I dont do calcs.
Speed Counters
Forgive me if I misinterpreted your statement, but you’re implying like they’re flying across the whole moon’s surface, which simply isn't shown in the gif you posted.
As for Kratos’s speed, he dodged lightning when he was way weaker than he is now:
This was from GoW2 which takes place when Kratos did not have his godly powers. There is no reason to believe the lightning doesn’t move at lightning speed, give It comes from storm cloud. I can’t stress how much GoW4 Kratos scales above that.
Well lightning is not that great, only Mach 200-300 speed for the initial bolt, not the return stroke as many misinterpret.
If we want solid speed feats, then we have stated max speeds for the likes of Dolores, as well measurable time frames from the Anime and Game.
Hathor flies from Mars surface to Phobos moon in 5 seconds flat. Phobos is 5,826 miles distance from Mars.
Jehuty shows the speed to travel from Mars Orbit to Mars surface in roughly 12 seconds time frame. Jehuty also took the most scenic route following the planets curve rather straight down.
A weaker version of Dolores is stated to move faster than 4 million kilometers per hour.
These machine in short are pretty fast. Also before you say these are just speed feats, Dolores personally showed the ability tom track and react to tram going up the orbital elevator while at these speeds, and avoiding the space traffic at these speeds too. ADA is same kind of AI as Dolres, if not more advance as a stated better Frame. Its why Dingo, who is jack pumped with Metatron magical energy able to preform impossible piloting at such speeds.
Kratos Durability Arguments
In terms of durability, he was in the epicenter of this huge explosion:
He also no-sold a volcanic eruption, which destroyed the city of Atlantis:
Once again, these are both feats where Kratos was significantly weaker than he is now. Both feats also involve the use of heat, which should mean Kratos would no-sell Jehuty’s missiles unless you got feats they are stronger than volcanic eruption or Ares' explosion.
On top of that, his durability scales above his strength since he was eating hits from Baldur, who can physically match Kratos. In terms of Baldur’s standalone strength, he knocked out the World Serpent; anybody who played GoW4 will know Jormungandr spanned the mountain ranges of Midgard, so knocking out a creature of this size is insanely impressive on Baldur’s strength and by extension Kratos’s durability.
Very true. Im not sure what kinds of energy levels these missiles are at, or energy weapons burn at. As I showed the Raptors are very durable but get shredded by the average Energy Blasts Jehuty can rapid fire and in great quantity with the 3 added Modules. To cut through Raptors like tissue paper I thinks its hotter than Magma by far.
There is also the Homing Lasers which is energy weapons fast enough to keep pace with these Orbital Frames mostly, and they home in on targets.
These energy beams (Seen through Doleres, Idalo, and Jehuty) burn through LEVs and Raptors with equal ease. Things that are many times more durable than modern tank armor.
LEVs can tank heavy energy weapon fire from Mosquitos. Energy weapons that rip up solid stone with ease. LEVs also survives smashing through dozen meters worth of solid stone with no damage to its armor. Pierce and burn with utter ease by these Homing Lasers. I think at the least they can cause some damage and very hard to avoid given their speed, homing ability, and quantity.
There is also the close combat weapons Jehuty has. These C class Orbital frames are very powerful and very durable. Insane so. However as durable and powerful these frames are the close combat weapons of Jehuty and other C Class Frames cut through their own armor with ease.
Very precise and very sharp. Add to this further the three Modules around Jehuty act as further close combat weapons.
These Modules act as a swarm of attacks in close combat, and shown to smack around and damage a Anubis level frame. So in short thats four angles of deadly attacks to avoid.
Jehuty Durability Arguments
All of Kratos’s magical abilities came from weapons, which in this case he has ice power from Leviathan Axe and fire power from Blades of Chaos. Starting off with Blades of Chaos, the fire radiates so much heat to the point it’s impossible for fire to burn in Helheim:
God of War - Kratos Finds the Blades of Chaos - YouTube
0:40
The climate of Helheim is so cold that fire cannot burn there. The fact BoC can burn fire there is testament of its heat. Without necessary heat resistance Jehuty will get burnt to death.
As for Leviathan Axe, its stated to rival Mjolnir in power, and we know Mjolnir can one-shot giants like Thamur who is a walking mountain.
I just have to ask how cold something needs to be for no fire to burn. Normal fire? In theory only Absolute Zero can stop any heat source as heat source can always burn in any temperature as long it has a source to power said heat. Like this is so vague and not sure what too cold for fire to burn means.
Well I do know this, if to cold for fire means ancient Greek times, then I doubt any known sources of fire burn hotter than Magma which is what energy weapons already are for Jehuty. Also if we talk casual durability for these C Class Orbital Frames, then again we should see what weaker frames can do casually.
Idalo smashes through a forest at full speed and then crashes through a cliffs edge with no damage.
Idalo takes no damage from Anti Air missiles.
Idalo took dozens upon dozens of Particle Canon shots to bring down. The pilot survives this too. This is the level of durability of the WEAKEST C Class Orbital Frame. The Neiths were stated leagues above Idalo, and both Hathor and Dolores are noticeably above Neiths. Anubis and Jehuty are slightly above Hathor and Dolores. You get the point. In terms of stated superiority and power....
Jehuty gets blasted out of the sky by Tyrant's massive Particle Canon. Jehuty was still very much combat capable. How powerful are Particle Canons?
Dolores Particle Canon showed that it can cut straight into a mountain size Asteroid Military Base, and nearly cut it in half in half. The weakest form of Jehuty (ZOE1) took this dead on with only the smallest damage which healed right after anyway.
I should again touch on this. Idalo < Neiths < Nephtis < Hathor/Dolores < Anubis/Jehuty is stated in Lore talking superiority. Speaking of Dolores she survive a feat like this for her testament to durability.
Dolores crashes so hard into the ocean to generate a nuclear like explosion, but flies out second later of the ocean with no damage. The impact shockwave wrecks the city that was some distance away too. Thats casual durability of these C Class Frames.
Jehuty gets slammed through massive airlock doors easily 50 or so meters of solid steel, compared to Jehuty height, then smash through building size generators which explode, and then slam into the shield wall for a electric shield surprise. all this did no damage to your health bar. Just uncomfortable for Dingo.
So the damage these guys can tank is up there and this is still not the "best' feats. Plus there is the Energy Shield to facto in.
Jehuty's energy shield and how it works. A straight forward energy shield that covers the whole front side of the Frame.
C Class Orbital Frame using a energy shield underwater shows the effects on the ocean on Mars surface, and how the energy output of said shield is visible from space.
Conclusions
- Im not sure what the strength calc is for Jehuty max at, but its nothing to sneeze at. Stopping the train which was 30-40 times larger than Jehuty and several times wider, train moving at hypersonic speeds. Pretty solid. However Dolores also shows nuke like explosions just slamming LEVs onto the moon surface. Where the Gravity factor is lessen. So not sure what thats adds up too, but is serious strength.
- I feel Jehuty durability is still something too much. Thats raw durability, and then add in the Shield. I have not added in yet Healing Factor. Yes Jehuty has a Healing Factor. I will save this last post.
- Jehuty still has a flight advantage. I know GOW has flight abilities, but right now Jehuty will just rain fire power down. If GOW can make it to Jehuty, then Jehuty still has the speed and insane sharp/durable built in sword to defend itself.
- Speed wise Im not sure where you personally will rate Kratos, but as seen C Class Frames are insane fast and this is not the top speed to Jehuty either in combat. Im holding that card for last post.
