The problem with ranking her is that she has very good piercing and speed meaning she can slice your throat with her sword even if your more powerful then her, but as long as your fast enough or can disarm her you'll do fine against her.
@ulteriormotive: Just the big and beefy ones like Hulk, Cull, Abom, Kurse etc.
She would've probably lost to someone like Endgame Thanos because hes similar to Steppenwolf because hes covered in armor, is skilled and has a sword. Her speed and gear could make things interesting tho and she could win on some occasions.
But yeah idk if I would even count EG Thanos as a brick, bricks are more of the unskilled gearless big punchers like Hulk.
@infinityultron: Thats fair, although id like to point out Kurse definitely isn't just a brick. This is a reputation he's earned just because he seems to move around like a lumbering giant outside of combat. He's reacted to a speeding Mjolnir in a tiny fraction of a second, as well as ducked under Thor's punches and perfectly counter-attacked with one of his own.
She was only a high tier when she fought Doomsday and when she awakened in her first movie
You cant really count 1984 because she was depowered most of the film and had no sword. Anyway, when she was powered up she no diffed Cheetah and swung on lightning.
Pure strength wise not extremely impressive. I'd place her at high mid tier. However, she has got that Doomsday buster sword and MHS combat speed plus that super durable shield and gauntlet, that can no sell even heat vision. On top of that she is immune to lightning and has that gauntlet blast that can push back even nuke amped Doomsday. These extra abilities make her a threat to any high tier from both MCU DCEU or other shared universes and ultimately makes her a high tier by damage output/combat effectiveness.
For example. I'd place Hela above Diana in pure strength and yet Diana could easily blitz decap kill her in combat
AP: Large Building to Cityblock at most, City with sword
Dura: Large building to cityblock
Speed: MHS to relativistic

Low high tier in DCEU with full gear, high mid without - she could possibly kill Superman and Doomsday in a fight with her gear, but without it she’s a nuisance to them.
High mid in MCU with full gear, low mid without - she could possibly kill pre-IW Iron Man and Spider-Man with her gear, but without it she people like Cap could give her a fight
She's aggressively mid tier by stats. She does have good weapon and speed though that can sometimes allow her to punch above her weight, but too bad her morals and character doesn't allow her to blitz and slice or decap enemies like some fanboys would like.
@krishnyak: Ok and? JL supes is way more powerful than his Bvs self which in turn is way more powerful than MoS supes
Mos superman died to a nuke, but when he was fully healed in Bvs he was brushing of Doomsday's energy attacks. He was even able to stalemate DD's HV for a long time and post nuke DD is way more powerful that he was before he got nuked.
And before he got nuked he was already as powerful as Zod(probably way more powerful) I mean look at Diana's performance against DD. She was doing way better in that fight then in her superman one, Clark KOed her with a headbutt meanwhile DD couldn't do it with his punches or his HV.
Not to mention the fact that Diana's sword can't go through steppenwolf's armour meanwhile it could easily go through Doomsday.
Steppenwolf also overpowered Arthur underwater and could outpace him and Arthur can swim at the speed of sound. Pretty sure steppenwolf also took superman's punches and was getting back up immediately. Until... he couldn't get back up.
Faora and Nam-ek are Oil Rigg superman level. They're not as powerful as adapted Zod let alone superman.
She’s what I like to call a specialty fighter not a real high tier but with her gear she is imagine MCU spiderman with stormbreaker and a shield he easily be a match for any humanoid in the MCU Hela, Thanos, Carol, etc but not really on their level overrall.
She’s a high tier in both DCEU and MCU with gear without it she’s a mid tier with great speed especially in the MCU
She is a solid high tier, she scales to a "morals off" Superman decently enough and that really is all you need as far as DCEU goes. A lot of people would like to see her as inconsistent but the truth is that scaling to Ares while in her BOS state and scaling to Doomsday pre-prime really should be enough to convince anyone who's not overly picky that her scaling is solid.
For me personally, her skill and gear is what really makes her shine. Scaling to high tiers in stats is one thing, but her lasso is just a broken BFR option, bracelets give her a ton of extra versatility, range and defenses, and her sword is just OP. Bladed weapons, especially magical ones, are like a number 1 weakness for 99% of comicbook characters.
Her portrayal in BvS cements her as a Superman tier character or higher due to being able to hold her own against Doomsday who eclipses both Zod and Superman in power levels. JL, however, did the opposite of that but it was implied that Superman's gotten a power boost from the motherboxes so she's somewhat between MoS/BvS Supes and Post-JL Supes. Her gear allows her to hang with the big guns including Doomsday who's a teambuster. Without said gear, we've got nothing except for being able to annoy Superman with a headbutt and a few lifting feats so... mid-low high tier is a safe option.
