Tier 1: The Gods(Not even Rumple with all the dark ones power could go against Hades).

Tier 2: The Dark Ones

Tier 3: Ingrid, Evil Queen, Cora, Zeleena

Tier 4: Maleficent, Elsa

Tier 5: Emma, Blue Fairy The difference is that you're looking at feats (or at least battle feats). Emma's stronger than Regina raw power-wise. Regina beats her only in magical knowledge.

I mean, I could say that Emma outsped the Evil Queen and she prevent her from using magic in the finale which was true. (Ingrid showed that she could overcome the cuff spell Emma put on her). The thing that I don't understand is why you downgrade Emma so much. She's surely stronger than Elsa. I mean, Emma was worried about destroying Elsa with her haywire magic. Elsa has range, but she really can do two things: blast ice and make snow items.

Although, personally in my headcanon, they're (Emma, Zelena, Regina, and Cora) all around the (roughly) same raw power level. Emma was only able to put the hand cuffs on The Evil Queen because she didn't have her magic yet. Snow even says so before Regina uses the potion.

Also Emma blasted Elsa snow monster and only made it mad while Regina's 1 Fire Ball completely destroyed it. Clearly Elsa and Regina are superior to Emma. Not to mention Emma could use her magic to bring down Elsa snow Wall. It is clear as day Elsa is stronger than Emma and Regina is stronger than Emma.

I am not downgrading Emma but by feats alot of other characters trump her. You keep bringing up raw power but Emma doesn't have more raw power if her Light blast couldn't take out Elsa Snow monster but Regina's fire ball could. Or if Emma light magic couldn't take out Zeleena but Regina light magic could. Emma isn't as strong as you claim. You clearly aren't taking feats into consideration when ranking her so high. Your forgetting one important thing as well. Emma is still learning how to harness her power. Regina also initally had problems harnessing her power, based on flashbacks with Rumple training her. So Emma probably does have more raw power than many other magic users, it is just she has not fully been able to harness it yet.
