On the other hand, it seems that Aranea had more time practing. So Minfang might not be as OP in that regard (she still'd got a long life). Furthermore, Vris is God Tier so she has more potential of getting powerfull and shiny then Mindfang who never player the game. Her light powers are probably not fully unlocked and "passibe" only... On the other hand, power levels are very situational and relative. And character power tiers do not always end up being dirrectly tied to god tier

I was going to add the ‘Vriska is God Tier so maybe…’ thing to the post about Vriska vs Mindfang, however then I remembered that Terezi is very much not God Tier, and that John made a tornado swirl through half of his planet before Ascending, and I don’t think actually dying in the Quest Bed makes that much of a difference if you’re just Powerful enough.
