Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 767

Chapter 767: Chapter 767 - Taming the Fifth Year - Everything Goes in Love and War - 4

Ren’s mantis wasn’t physically stronger than other beasts here, actually way weaker in terms of pure base statistics... The distinction mattered significantly for understanding combat dynamics.

In theory, a Silver 1 beast was approximately five times stronger than a Bronze 2 in terms of base power metrics. The bonuses that tamers received didn’t differ as dramatically when comparing a Bronze 2 fused tamer versus a Silver 1 fused tamer... that progression was more gradual in how it affected human combat capability.

And that was Yano’s model of combat: A chivalrous knight-like style where the tamer of higher rank threw away their biggest advantage, their beast’s raw overwhelming power, to instead use their ’smaller’ advantage of personal enhancement bonuses.

Fighting fused with beast rather than commanding it separately was a cultural preference that ’disadvantaged’ higher-rank tamers in some ways.

But when discussing the beast itself in direct combat... physical strength, SIZE, natural resistance... Those differences were substantial and couldn’t be ignored.

Especially the size differential that came with a full rank advancement.

And in situations like this exam where cultural preference for fighting fused with beast didn’t apply due to the rules requiring beast-versus-beast combat, those rank advantages became significantly more pronounced.

A Silver 1 beast should always, theoretically, dominate a Bronze 2 in direct combat even with elemental disadvantage when accounting for the five-times stronger body, or what could be considered a 5x ’multiplier’ in base stats.

Should be... In a situation that assumed all other factors equal.

But there were other factors like abilities, tiers, if the beast’ species was of slow growth and fast growth at the end or fast growth and slow growth at the end... and also the quantity and quality of the stat increases beasts had accumulated in combat relevant categories.

Not to mention that double tamers had even more increases to count when calculating effective combat power.

And if discussing doubles, there was someone worse than that... 4 beasts despite having one inactive.

All that...

Plus Ren’s mantis wasn’t an ordinary beast by any measure of normal development.

The multiple elemental control she’d developed through fusion was an enormous advantage that negated traditional matchup planning. The accumulation of bonuses it’d received, approximately five times her base statistics and even more in certain effects through shared bond mechanics, at this point put her in parity with Silver 1 beasts and even some Silver 2 opponents.

But that wasn’t everything that made it dangerous.

Abilities like invisibility that made it nearly impossible to track. Rapid movements that bordered on speed impossible to follow with normal perception. Capacity to almost fly for escaping or repositioning that gave it three-dimensional combat options many beasts lacked.

All of that made his mantis a nightmare opponent for any low Silver beast that relied on traditional combat approaches.

In theory they would have similar power levels when comparing pure statistics.
