Shouldn't Aragorn be higher in tier with his sword?

Many characters jump tiers with their weapons, such as Eren Yeager who is 8-B with swords or Jamie who's 9-B with widow's willow.

Aragorn has Isildur's reforged sword Anduril which is the only sword ever that could harm Sauron. We don't see Aragorn struggle against anyone after he gets his sword so i've been thinking, there's nothing that contradicts us making this sword High 7-A to 6-C as it killed a weakened Sauron and as the eye of sauron he feared it.

This would make it:
Books: At least High 7-A to 6-C
Movie: 7-B

This would make Aragorn the same tier with that weapon.
 
His sword also granted him the power to overpower the King of the Dead, and while it was more so the removal of Sauron's Ring that defeated him, the broken version of Anduril was still able to cut off his arm.

So I was thinking about this addition too. I agree.
 
Posting this here would be better, but this change is definitely something to consider, although we haven't gotten to the discussion of human or elven characters just yet.
 
I personally wouldn't mind this change.
 
Movie-wise, there is maybe some discussion that needs to be had, since we see Aragorn fail to cut through a troll, but that could just be PIS.

Book-wise, I'm in favour of this idea, since Narsil was not only used by Elendil who killed Sauron (alongside Gil-Galad), but also used in its broken form to cut Sauron's finger off by Isildur (to get the Ring). Anduril shouldn't be inferior to its prior form, and I don't think we ever hear about the blade being blocked by anything that suggests it shouldn't be on par with Narsil. If anything, Anduril pretty much one-shots everything it hits in the book

The Fellowship of the Ring, Book 2, Ch 4, A Journey in the Dark.
"Frodo saw many grey shapes spring over the ring of stones. More and more followed. Through the throat of one huge leader Aragorn passed his sword with a thrust" (killed a warg)

The Fellowship of the Ring, Book 2, Ch 5, The Bridge of Khazad-dûm
"Andruil came down upon his helm. There was a flash like flame and the helm burst asunder. The orc fell with cloven head."

"Aragorn smote to the ground the captain that stood in his path" (two separate orcs)

The Two Towers, Book 3, Ch 7, Helm's Deep
"'Andúril!' cried Aragorn. 'Andúril for the Dúnedain!'
Charging from the side, they hurled themselves upon the wild men...
Dismayed the rammers let fall the trees and turned to fight; but the wall of their shields was broken as by a lightning-stroke, and they were swept away, hewn down, or cast over the Rock into the stony stream below.
"

It's pretty consistent. Although I'm not sure what tier Aragorn himself would be.

Thank you for the evaluation. The accepted changes for the book incarnation can probably be applied then.
