Skill and power does very little to the serum counterparts. Rumple is more skilled and more powerful but he can't do much against the much weaker EQ or Hyde. Zelena just needed to teleport herself and Robin away

We know (and Zelena does too) the EQ is pretty incompetent at tracking people. She spent years screaming "WHERE IS SNOW WHITE?" in the forest She knew where Snow white was multiple times. She had come face to face with Snow White atleast 5 times if I remember correctly during the enchanted forest past.

As as this thread is concerned it was stated by Zelena herself during the Wicked Arc the only reason Regina couldn't hurt her is because of her amulet which protected her against Dark magic. Not only that but the Amulet amplified Zelena's magic beyond her wildest dreams.

So you can't compare Season 3 Zelena to Season 4,5,6,etc Zelena because she doesn't have the necklace to amplify her powers. Just like you can't compare Regina to the Evil Queen. Both Regina and Rumple have acknowledged the Evil Queen as being superior and stronger.

Powerscaling on the show has never really been consistant though. Best to simply go off of feats rather than battles which usually end before they even begin. Even then though feats are inconsistant.
