Don’t remember if I asked you already, but what do you think of the difficulty of this Zoro vs. Lucci fight?
Lower end of mid diff.
Does this at all change where you scale Zoro?
If he can comfortably use advCoC without going into hyper-overdrive, then I think a bit more highly of him than I did prior to this.
Ask yourself what Zoro lacks.
Lucci fight was the final nail in the coffin, it cements Zoro has no openings. He has elite reactions, barrier haki, and 3 blades for an elite guard. It's extremely difficult to land clean attacks against Zoro.
And we already know he's a top tier in dealing damage. So if he has little holes defensively and he has top tier AP, what's the issue?
My only worry for Zoro would be against equally skilled/fast top tiers as him but with FS stacked ontop. It's hard to make a legit argument for him not to get mopped by those characters. Though I will say Asura is a great defensive tool covers him 360 degrees, if Zoro can maintain this mode there's a legit case he's already a top tier.
Narratively though I think we will know he's a top tier for sure when he wields Enma as light as a feather. Oden is a good barometer for Zoro there narratively.
