Each figure was given a numerical value based on there power ranking, A+ being a 15, and F- being a 1, every grade rising in numerical order in between. The numerical value was, for each wave, averaged and divided into squad average, hero average, and wave average, then ranked.

I just sorted infectedsloth's data and displayed them in tabular form so it's easier to see. And went on ahead to correct some of the rankings.

Thanks for cleaning up the data, I had been planning on doing it eventually, but you did a lot better than I could have.

I'm curious what source you used to correct my data, as there is inconsistencies in the different rankings. For example Grimnak is an A- under Spider Poison's alphabetical list but an A in the list by letter grades. There is also inconsistencies between the books and Spider Poison's rankings, Sentinels of Jandar are A- is the alphabetical list and B- in their book. I used the alphabetical list, although I'm not sure if it is the most up to date, I would like to have just one source. Once again thanks for the help.

[screwDriver]

Your welcome. I just reformat your data (specifically the Wave Average Scores) and dump them into excel and sort it there. Any ranking correction I did was based on your data and not on Spider Poison's individual rankings. Example, you had Wave 13 with a score of 11 rank as 4, when C3V Wave scored 11.2 and rank as 4 also.

I'm pretty using Spider Poison's list is the right source to use, as the Books were just updated based on the list and are prone to typos.

[Major Q23]

I love the idea of all this. It can really help people when looking at what to buy. Wave 11 is #1 with squads... Greenscales and Phantom Knights ftw

Avoid using the rankings at the bottom that are alphabetical. Those are updated less frequently and I'm far more likely to forget to correct those. Because each of them contains a link to the respective books, I tend to dislike editing that and find it much more cumbersome. Whenever I restructure the rankings, I use the top list by grade, and try to write down whichever ones I change to go to the bottom alphabetical list afterward.

Thanks for clearing that up. I exclusively used the alphabetical list, so I'll have to do major updates to this...eventually.

[Jexik]

In most cases it's only a difference of 1/3 of a grade. I did change a few that I noticed were wrong, like how you have the Heavy Gruts as A- and Braxas as A.
