Now I've said before, Zelena without her pendant is stronger than Regina but I don't think by much. I also think that without Zelena having her pendant, light magic no longer has the same effect on her as before so this actually gives Zelena an edge up on Regina. I think something along the lines of out of 10 battles between the two sisters Zelena would win 6 and Regina would win 4 (I think the EQ beating Zelena and only being stopped by Regina ripping her heart out proves this point IMO). Zelena knew what was coming when the EQ poofed them outside and she still stood by and did nothing and eventually told Regina that had she not come when she did she basically would have died thanks to the EQ. But then we all know a few episodes later Zelena is claiming she had it all under control... I agree wholeheartedly. I tend to place battle separately, though, lol.

I think Zelena has a slight edge over Regina. I wish we got Gideon v. Zelena or Emma v. Zelena. I feel that Regina and Gideon are essentially equal. But of course, I use that to say that then Emma must be stronger than Regina as she owned Gideon seemingly in every way.

Gideon owned EQ. Gideon owned Regina, but Regina was able to keep up. Gideon emphasized not his magic, but Emma's magic would defeat Fiona, which likely means that he saw his magic as weaker.

Thus I get (with elements neutralized):

Zelena with a slight edge

Emma

Gideon, Regina

So, I'm not saying Regina is weak. She's simply amongst better competition whereas I think in EF, it went Rumple, then Regina, then everybody else in EF.
