Fair enough. That makes more sense, but now I'm wondering what hit her to put her against the wall in the first place. Her durability is a little tricky for me since you mention she has a healing factor of some kind. Though you make it sound like something she has to activate, and that may be somewhat of a problem.
Her "self-destruct" won't mean anything seeing as Ruby was merely inconvenienced by an explosive round to the face, but it does sound as if she has decent DC if she can bust a building.
Finally, I'd like to address her speed. Given all the feats you've provided, it would put her in the supersonic+ range (Mach 2-5). Bullet-timing was the first sign, but what mainly drove that home was when you mentioned the "1000 punches per second", which was already kind of familiar to me.
Now, if you would be so kind, I'd rather leave this thread alone for some time. At least until you've seen all of the first season of RWBY. I will provide a little more perspective, but I would much prefer you read it AFTERWARDS. As I've said before, I can provide showings all day, everyday, but I'm trying look out for the better interest of future viewers, which would be to only reexamine this information in hindsight. I can't emphasize this enough!
Anyways, here is what I've come up with:
Now I said before that RWBY characters were well beyond base hypersonic, and I came across this calculation, which has helped me get a much better idea of what I was actually looking at. I have yet to take a second look at the scene to verify this, but it actually makes sense that RWBYverse is at least Mach 39, whether the calculation is 100% accurate or not. Either way, it's not something I would readily dismiss. Given that this is a lower-end showing executed by a lesser character, one can actually conclude that this isn't the best they can even do in terms of speed. Hell, this is actually later reinforced by the battle between Roman and Sun in which Roman was consistently dodging/deflecting shotgun fire at point blank (and I'm talking arm's reach). Since this is Ruby we're talking about, you'll have to remember that she's much faster than the rest of her team. The scene for which the calculation was conducted obviously featured Yang, who you can assume is the faster of Melanie and Miltia. When making her way to Ruby to assist her, Yang was extraordinarily out sped by Weiss, who was on the other end of the field. Prior to that, Ruby could blitz Weiss during casual conversation, let alone in conflict, which she actually did moments later. Ruby is thus far resting at the top tier in speed among her peers.
Before I directly address her strength again, I'd like you to have something to compare it to by looking at Ren's. This I was actually able to look slightly further into, and I'd say it checks out. As you can tell, many feats (like this one) are attributed in part to the characters activating their auras, but remember, metaphysical energy is still based on the user's actual physical capability. That said, this specific feat actually speaks for strength as well as durability, which I believe puts the former at Class M respectively. This is said to be enough to lift a small pyramid, and one's striking power is usually not far behind their strength. Ren actually proceeded to obliterate the King Kaijitu's head with a thrust of his palm. What's more impressive is Team RWBY and JNPR's fights that took place later against a Nevermore and a Death Stalker (giant scorpion). Just as a means of reaching her teammates, Nora destroyed the ground upon which her and Jaune stood, launching them several yards. She soon replicated this feat by killing the Death Stalker, hitting it with enough force to even shatter the platform beneath it. I would speculate that this at the very least puts her at Class MJ, enough to bust a building.
Why am I mentioning them? Well, by association of power level, you might infer that Ruby is within the same class as them. Her feat to follow actually proves it. During Team RWBY's encounter with the Nevermore, it completely destroyed the structure beneath them just by flying through it, which can be assumed to be comparable to a building, so you can already tell how strong it is. This goes back to my earlier mention of Ruby carrying it vertically roughly 200ft and beheading it. This creature struggled to free itself from an iceberg Weiss had used to trap it, but Ruby was able to pull it out of that while having to resist gravity on two fronts: natural gravity and Weiss' glyph trail. A lesser challenge for you or I would be something akin to dragging a tank uphill.
Durability is probably the most difficult thing to accurately determine here since Ruby hasn't taken very many hits. (You can probably thank her speed for that.) The best thing you could do right now is guesstimate by comparison. Ren's snake feat might help with this some, and Blake was actually blasted through a train cart by a giant cannon only to get right back up to confront the machine responsible for it. Recall earlier when I speculated Crescent Rose's firepower by relating it to its propulsion? Characters like Cinder don't give f**king about this shit, as she demonstrated by simply Vader-palming all of Ruby's shots with seemingly hilarious ease. Ruby's not Cinder, of course, but it gives you and idea of how potentially durable this universe is. Though, much like any of these characters with any of their stats, there is not yet a clear definition of Ruby's actual durability, but proportional to her physical might, you could probably safely put her around building level.
This is my current insight on it with what is available to me. As said, the series is still rather fresh with most of its showings, but I hope this gives you a proper perspective on it. Believe me, I've thought very seriously about this.
All of this aside, I hope you enjoyed the show, man.
(It's not likely that you didn't.
) I'm SOOO damn ready for whatever comes next!
