So @crystalwatcher, was the vote for what we're doing ever officially closed? I don't think so, so I thought I'd ask.
And what happened to this

Sorry everyone, I've been in a bit of a funk due to a lack of job. Trying to work through it.
As stated before Indestructible renders a weapon immune to breaking, but Auto Recovery and Instant Recovery as well as bonus abilities, or weapons that are actually more than one weapon (such as those with Limitless) can instantly recover from being broken. Otherwise a MG that's had their weapon broken has to re-transform, though doing so on an active battlefield tends to be a death sentence since they become regular squishy teenage girls.
Sunder auto-breaks the opponent's weapon during an intercept conflict. Indestructible stops this, but everyone else gets hit with it. Weapons that aren't actually weapons, such as "Fist" or "Tentacle" and ect, are cleaved from the target's body completely.
Ok, that's really freaking OP. It fits that character though
That makes her downright terrifying in PVP. What even happens to a Magical Girl when their inherent weapon gets destroyed? Does it respawn eventually or something?
When a MG's Weapon is destroyed they lose their ability to utilize basic attacks or spells that are based around some special use of their weapon. Such as Nepgear's Celestial Severance, or White Knight's V.I.C.T.O.R.Y. spell. As you can obviously tell, it's pretty fucking ridiculous.

RAGE! pretty much removes the victim's ability to take advantage of battlefield developments. Like @Makuta said, it's pretty much a berserk effect. When under it, the given girl will go in a straight line to her target without attempting to dodge or really take everything around her into consideration. They won't try to dodge incoming attacks, utilize ability that would be useful, or even cast spells. High-Base-Damage girls with some kind of regeneration effect, or massive resilience benefit highly from the effect simply because it doesn't cause very much deviation from her normal tactics.

Flight and High Speed Combat still need to be filled out.Here's an attempt at a Myth affinity who's evil by choice.
- (Unified Darkness) Magical Girl Genocide

If Miracle isn't a valid affinity, then Miracleslayer targets Magic + any positive affinity. Either of those options is equally appropriate.

Kirby Quest. Long story.What was Nep banned for btw?
I couldn't find the table of what speeds correspond to what levels. Those are standardized, right?

...There is none? Speed of Flight is (level - 1)*10. Or Level * 10 - 10, either or. And High Speed Combat is 90 miles per hour per level.

From what I can tell things go:
| Flight Level | High Speed Combat |
| 5 (40mph) | Level 1 (≤90mph) |
| 10 (90mph) | Level 2 (≤180mph) |
| 19 (180mph) | Level 3 (≤270mph) |
| 28 (270mph) | Level 4 (≤360mph) |
| 37 (360mph) | Level 5 (≤450mph) |
| 46 (450mph) | Level 6 (≤540mph) |
By table I meant that formula. I couldn't find that formula and couldn't remember it. I'll go make that edit now.
Edit:
Edit made.

random question about army combat, how many spells can we cast during a clash? like we have enough time for 30 basic attacks, could we cast a similar number of spells during that time?

At the moment Nepgear can't participate in Army combat.
And on that note I'm currently trying to revise it.

The revision for Army Actions is currently in the workshop.
After @Gore17 and @LostDeviljho poke some holes in it I'll post it here.

are you going to give attacks with apocalypse some kind of bonus in army combat? since otherwise the ability is sorta pointless, it makes anything that has it too dangerous to use except in army combat, but doesn't give any benefit in army combat beyond letting attacks be used in it.
That can't be the complete story, because there's some canon sheets which have HSC without having Flight at all.
And some who have Flight without HSC. The two aren't innately linked, but when someone has both, it almost always follows that pattern.
Would the exceptions be stuff like "this person developed the HSC ability, and then later learned how to fly"?

I am very confident that durning the whole World war III Humanity most likely used most of its higher end weapons like nukes and simply did build all that many afterwards.

You accidentally your formatting.
If even a fraction of the nuclear stockpiles were used in WWIII then he quest would be very different.
For starters the population of Earth is 7.7 billion just eight years after WWIII started. When the war started in 2000, pretty close to 2003 when the war started, this was the breakdown of official nuclear weapon stockpiles held by the Nuclear Five:
- United States: 8,360
- Russia: 21,500
- United Kingdom: 281
- France: 470
- China: 232

I'll consider it.
HSC and Flight are only directly linked when the wielder has both.
Otherwise, they're two completely separate abilities.
I'm just going to leave the current Nuclear situation as a mix between AU (since Humanity has a larger population anyways) and Gaia's influence.

In other news have the new Army Action write up. Speak up if you see a problem please.
After a bit of poking at it, and a couple suggestions form Gore, this is what Army Actions turned into. I'm going to be trying to take more inspiration from Hack-&-Slashes instead of my original 'idea'.
An Army Action is a massive background event when a few thousand mooks from the Unified Light and Unified Darkness all take the field. The two armies fill out the whole battlefield and packs of roughly a thousand or more mooks start marching towards each other. When they meet, they'll duke it out until one group or the other is either wiped out, or breaks and runs. I feel this works better then my original version and lets Magical Girls really strut their stuff.
When an Army Action begins, there will be only a single "Clash" event, instead of the original "one every three turns". It's to represent the initial meeting between the front lines of the two armies. How the Clash plays out depends on the tactics being used by the two side's commanders. For example, a Demon Commander leading one of Hell's Legions would have his forces rush in and close with the enemy army as soon as possible, since on a one-on-one basis Demons tends to be physically superior to pretty much everyone else. An Elf Commander would instead have his front line dig in and brace themselves for the rush, or a Human commander would call down artillery all across the no-man's land in front of his lines.
Combat will be different depending on which armies have taken the field, and what commanders are in charge. More on that later.
Every turn, instead of calculating out damage based on the collective BD and BR of both Armies I'll instead be tracking a more story-based event tree during the battle. Straight combat between individual regiments of troops will follow something similar to the original paradigm with a few minor changes, but will remain consistent with the new Event Tree:
Surges
-Every three Turns, one side or the other will "Surge". This represents the given army making an attempt to overwhelm the opposing army's position in a given area. The Higher the Morale of the Army, the more likely that they'll surge in more than one location.
Positive Morale
-When an Army has Positive Morale, they'll be more willing to engage the enemy army. You'll see more Surges, risker maneuvers, or even some outright stupid shit, such as five thousand demons rushing Goddess Gold like they have a suicide wish.
Low Morale
-This is when the Army just wants to say "fuck this, we're out". They're on the edge of breaking into a rout and you'll see them pulling away from the enemy army whenever the chance presents itself, regardless of whether or not it'd be better if they stood their ground. Fewer mooks will try to stay and fight, and fewer risks will be taken, as well as be unlikely to Surge.
Specials
-Each race's army has something that they're very, very good at. These materialize into "Specials" that change the battlefield in some way. For example, Humanity's army is small as hell when compared to literally everyone else, but we're able to move our troops around with hilarious ease. We're also the Supreme Masters of ranged combat, being more than capable of flattening one of the Unified Darkness' armies without ever directly engaging their troops.
Magical Girls are Elite Troops, regardless of their Growth Affinity. As shown in the first engagement of the New York battle, Nepgear (who at the time was weaker than the low-end of the Story Makers) wiped out an entire group of Demonic soldiers in a single swing of Celestial Severance. Then, she along with Truth, with a bit of support from Team GEAR, slaughtered their way through New York's streets like unstoppable juggernauts. This isn't an outlier.
Magical Girls, nine times out of ten, are all capable of similar feats. When one of them takes the field, most of the Unified Light armies simply just get out of their way. Class 1 Demons will always lose in a straight fight with a fresh Magical Girl, and they know it. If they get lucky, they might manage to injure the girl, but they won't win. Which is why you'll never run into a lone demon unless it's some kind of a trap, or they have no idea a MG is in the area.
Army Actions
(Revised)
So maybe you could solo 10k+ demons. Still won't be easy.
