Leifhelm: The strongest warriors of all have to be the two Masters-tier warriors..
Traveler: "Strongest warriors"?
Leifhelm: Oh, it's you, Honorary Knight. I am categorizing the opponents we've encountered on our expeditions so far into five tiers based on their combat strength.
Leifhelm: The tiers, from the least powerful to the most, are: Pre-Captains, Captains, Super Captains, Pre-Masters, and Masters.
Traveler: Do you not have a tier that's even higher than that?
Leifhelm: Ahem, in that case, we would be talking about the ones with weird powers, like
gods, demons and ancient
dragons...!
Leifhelm: I'm not really creating a power ranking. The whole point of this exercise is to help me establish my standards and set a goal for myself. So why would I include all that?
Leifhelm: Besides, there are so many factors that go into a loss or a victory. Things like the strengths and weaknesses of each side, and the proper application of battle tactics, these are all important... Only people who don't understand battle come up with those silly rankings and lists all the time!
Traveler: You... are right.
Leifhelm: ...But come to think of it,
Teyvat is a huge place, and it's been said that there has been a human warrior who managed to ascend to the divine throne.
Leifhelm: Too bad the
Grand Master didn't bring me along when he went to
Natlan... Otherwise, who knows? I might have found a really solid candidate for the "Super Masters" tier! You could use this ranking as a guide when facing enemies.
Leifhelm: That is true... You know what? I'll come up with a "Hypothetical Opponent Ranking" when I have the time.
Leifhelm: No matter how I look at it, the
Lupus Boreas and
Decarabian would belong in the "Super Gods and Demons" tier... In that case, wouldn't
Rächer of Solnari be in the "Ultra Gods and Demons" tier?
Leifhelm: Oh, I should mention — we've had quite a few signs of wolf activity around here lately. Since they tell me you're a pretty famous
Adventurer, Honorary Knight, I figured you'd be interested in knowing that?
Traveler: So, who do you have in the Masters tier?
Leifhelm: Our very own Grand Master Varka's one of 'em, for sure! As for others...
Leifhelm: In all our time during the expedition to Nod-Krai, the only other one we've met who can compare is the head of the
Fatui Harbingers.
Leifhelm: But annoyingly, he's also referred to as "
The Captain," which makes discussions about battle power quite confusing, especially with the Captains tier! Ugh!
Traveler: So which tier do I fall into?
Leifhelm: Uh... Huh? Um...
Leifhelm: You know, I haven't really thought about that before... I'm sorry. Maybe because our Honorary Knight over here is so lowkey most of the time.
Leifhelm: If I really have to... I feel like I should start a "(Traveler) tier" just for you alone?
Traveler: I'll leave you to it then.
Leifhelm: I need to keep improving...
