It's funny because I decided to look at TvTropes and Guts' profile off the cuff and:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he effortlessly cuts through everyone in Demon Slayer...
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Tier/Feat Discussion Thread
Because much like with Berserk here, I plan to cover this eventually :maybeonelastforum.comBerserk Tier/Feat Discussion Thread
Because why the fuck not? Seems appropriate when the series just saw its revival with chapters 365 and 366 :maybe As the narration tells us the light and wind produced by the "Great Roar of the Astral World" originated from Ganishka. Obviously, the circumstances that allowed for the planet to...onelastforum.com
Got whole threads for both dude, why TV Tropes of all things?
[Pelt of the Divine Beast] is basically the primary reason Alcides is dangerous since it makes practically all other NP's ineffective against him and is the primary reason he could give Gilgamesh a run for his money. Powerful enough NP's can bypass it if they strike areas not covered by it, but Alcides still has a degree of protection. However it is completely ineffective against unarmed attacks, magic and magically augmented physical attacks/abilities. I could argue that the weapons from Yggdrasil are not "The works of man" and thus it shouldn't function against them. However I'll put it aside and say it works more like Ainz's High-Tier Physical Nullification, but a-specifically against offensive weapons.
[Nine Lives] is hard to quantify since it apparently has many forms and uses. Mainly apparently he can control his arrows. Should reiterate that Nazarick itself can't be destroyed.
[Reincarnation Pandora] allows Alcides to steal an opponent's NP. This is effectively useless. He's not stealing any abilities here. Not only are the conditions for this not fully explained, but none in Nazarick have NP's nor does Alcides know the names of any of the weapons/equipment from Yggdrasil. He's not stealing anything ladies and gents.
[From Hell] isn't a NP Alcides starts with and is one he stole from Jack the Ripper. While I personally don't feel it should be allowed since it's not part of his standard power set, it's essentially a transformation that raises all his stats and defenses in proportion to the amount of fear generated by others within a 5km radius. I would argue it's not very effective given practically everyone in Nazarick has either protection against Fear or such effects, or are undead and don't have such emotions. So I'd argue it's effectiveness against Nazarick is extremely limited.
[Stymphalian Bird], [Mares of Diomedes] and [Cerberus] are basically summons. Nazarick has tons of ways to either eliminate them or outright bar them from being used in the first place. Like the spell [Greater Rejection] Ainz used to keep Shalltear from summoning 10th-Tier Monsters. These're ultimately moot.
Here, An Atlantis Guard states that it's wasteful to use a Demonic Beast like Cerberus that can hold back 10,000 of their ships(Each one can deal with the Golden Hind powered Argo in a head on fight) just to blow it up and take out the island through overloading it's Klironmia.
And that's pretty much it. If there are others I don't know them or can't find them. Just looking at that, I don't feel Alcides can win. Not against the whole of Nazarick. That's suicide. He has A-Rank MR, which means upper-tier spells and above are all effective against him. Which includes [Meteor Fall], which we'll hopefully get to see this year when they finally show the Overlord: Holy Kingdom Arc movie.
Again so what? For all intents and purposes she is a Beast. Her vessel is literally a Beast and her spirit origin is a Beast.
Yes class doesn't matter most of the time.
Servants don't count for this, every single enemy and living character with a class isn't actually in that class.
So there are actually 18 Beasts that can exist then? They should rename it to the 18 Beasts with Beast 7 not even being the halfway point.
They are all apart of the same servants as opposed to Tiamat's offspring which are separate entities to her. If we followed that logic every single Lahmu should be Beast class not just the strongest ones.
Yep at least in regards to non-servant beings.
So? Many things want to conquer the planet, I highly doubt Iskandar's going to get a planetary Excalibur blast to the face.
Damn it, I thought I could avoid it too and yet here I am arguing over things that don't matter.
I stand by Yaldabaoth not being able to do much and eventually losing.
@Xhominid The Apex Lucain really want to argue about this Olga is Beast.
He can keep arguing it but the story says it point blank: She's JUST a Beast and that's only if she even follows Beast VII's perogative(She only "truly" becomes Beast VII when she's sync'd to the Foreign World Chaldeas which IS Beast VII). That's why when she loses her memory, she doesn't even keep her Beast tag and goes under a whole ass different category altogether and has Defender of Humanity(Something she has even when you fight her in the LB7 prologue).
And it doesn't matter anyway when this pertains to Yaldabaoth which anyone with a functioning frontal lobe will tell you he qualifies as a Beast. Again, SB keeps making themselves look stupid when if they ever did some actual research(and I'm not even talking about wikias, I mean actual basic research that is not them trying to color their own points), they would actually come out of this not looking like just another shitty VS. site.
Probably related to her mindset, for the most of LB7 she behaves less like she was in Olympus and more like real Olga.Although why is she "Rainbow" is quite weird too, why didnt they just use Beast Crest like Draco and name it Unknown.
The Class is the strongest evidence here. Her Class isn't Beast. But according to Lucain, because Class effect such as Lancer lose to Saber isn't real canon, that means Class isn't "important".
So he is saying Artoria isn't Saber. Cu isn;t Lancer. Because their class are that in the Game too.

It is still something to be seen for sure
The ambiguity even carries over to the HUD when she is finally fought. While she is recognized by Chaldea's systems as Beast VII and has the Beast Class icon as she should, the Beast icon usually has one of its seven dots filled in to denote which Beast it is — but U-Olga Marie's Beast dots are all empty. When she becomes amnesiac, the Beast icon is completely dropped for a rainbow-colored question mark, something never seen in the game before, as though the Beast side is no longer present or in control. Even after she gets her memories back, she stays in this unknown class.
Now that you mentioned it Salter also has it in her memorial quest.That or FGO's system is wholly different than the other Grail Systems?(Something that has been true since any Grail System outside of Fuyuki's?) Or the fact that it's gameplay and outside of referencing it a few times in the past, it doesn't really matter in canon? I know it depends on the person but it's ultimately a worthless affair that doesn't defeat the point of what happened to U-Olga Marie.
That's only in the most base of terms that Artoria isn't Saber or Cu isn't Lancer, they are Heroic Spirits put in limited Classes that does not reflect their entire legend or even their person at large. Lancer Artoria isn't the same as Saber Artoria and Cu isn't the same as his Caster Counterpart, Setanta or his Altered Berserker self.
That does not or will not matter in comparison to the situation with U-Olga.
Because that's the point of a mystery, my dudes... we know that U-Olga has a Noble Phantasm but it's liked in a way that you can never see it even with hacks. All we know is that she has a "Rainbow" Classification once she gets amnesia, she's Beast VII in Olympus but curiously, she isn't Beast VII in LB7 even before she lost consciousness:
U-Olga Marie
U-Olga Marie (U-オルガマリー?), also known as the Alien God (異星の神, Isei no Kami?), is the main antagonist of Cosmos in the Lostbelt. It is the unknown entity who resurrected Crypters, bleached the world and set up the competition between Lostbelts, with the winner supposedly inheriting Human Order...fategrandorder.fandom.com
She doesn't even have a Nega-Skill or Authority of The Beast which are MUSTS for any Beast but she has Defender of Humanity... and again, this is when you fight her in LB7.
So yeah, this is really a pointless thing Lucain is being in but SB boys never know when to quit when obvious information comes in and debunks their point.
I am not sure what you mean by this as in, what are the connection. I don't think you get what I am saying.That or FGO's system is wholly different than the other Grail Systems?(Something that has been true since any Grail System outside of Fuyuki's?)

I mention to Lucain that Olga's Class isn't Beast it's Unknown. Lucain replies with "Well Class isn't that important for the most part for canonity, class advantage doesn't exist in canon." So he is saying that Servant with their class in FGO isn't important...for the MOST part. To refute that part with Olga's Class is Unknown not Beast. Like he is saying Takeru in FGO being Saber is not Saber then. Nursery Rhyme being Caster in FGO isn't Caster then.
Olga's Class being Unknown means a lot in context, and Lucain is saying "Class don't matter" and so I point out that it means he is saying every single characters in the story don't have the class he is assign by that logic.
He is not talking about legend or heroic spirit itself. He is saying that Class don't matter to show what are the character's Class...See that contradiction?
Tbf, i think he said that class doesn't matter because most of part 2 bosses are not servants but rather living version of them (or in case of LB6 end bosses, disasters minus Oberon), which is trueI am not sure what you mean by this as in, what are the connection. I don't think you get what I am saying.

You keep falling into the same shit SB always does which is moving the goalposts constantly, stay on track dude.

Unfortunately for Lucain, as an Apostle Olga is servant so his point is moot regardless
In that case, you should tell Lucain that exceptions being made for most LB bossesExactly Olga is a Servant. So saying it doesn't matter is like saying Karna having Lancer means he isn't Lancer. See that contradiction?
