Well, from what we've seen both Squadron leaders and floor rulers are pulled from the strongest high rankers available. Though I bet the strength level there fluctuates wildly.

Agreed. My take on this is the following comparison:
Urek and 10 heads belong in world class imo
Enryu defeated a floor administrator though and was able to exit the tower, which is a significant feat. Also, he's an Axis, which isn't mentioned much anymore.
Enryu is not an Axis , Phantaminum is.
Jahad can't sire children (canon up to this date). It is therefore impossible for Jahad to have biological sons as princes, Seeing that the princes look almost identical to Jahad, wouldn't they then have to be clones?
Then what would the first squadron commander be ? (Nb: Adori is the general commander of the entire army, answerable probably to the king alone)
Phanta is an axis not Enryu

This isn’t true... The FH have power to influence the tower but they have ceded their power to Zahard. Which is why his companions say the “adventurer” Zahard is the true Zahard not this dictator and why most FH are politically inactive... What I’m trying to say is Zahards “ability” to intervene “anywhere” isn’t his power, rather it’s his paranoia. If he weren’t bent on ruling and controlling the tower he wouldn’t need to intervene nor have safeguards (Urek travels the tower quite freely I may add)...He is still at the behest of admins. SIU has stated he(Zahard) couldn’t kill an admin if he tried... Putting Enryu above him in world/tower contending strength.

And what would be the difference
Where does the impression cat guy (Yas) is stronger than Kalla come from? Yas has stated his trick. The houndkin have his blood. Therefore he can control them, other than that he has just used hostages and mind games. Nothing is indicative of him being stronger than Kallavan.
Was it about the lore that zahard white fluid is too strong for any non irregular womb to handle? Isnt that just to shut masses up and as one of some pretexts of making princess of zahard?
Do we have proof that Adori isn’t the first squadron commander? It would only make sense if she is.
If they disagree with Jahad but can't change things, and can't rule over another family other than their own, while Jahad's jurisdiction reaches everywhere, then Jahad does hold more influence than any FH. He is one tier above them, its not like they could take his seat in "next elections", he is currently a self crowned emperor no matter what others think. Unless a great deal of effort is put, he won't move and no single FH can do It by himself/herself.
As mentioned Enryu isn't an axis, but above Zahard as Zahard could never kill an admin (or presumably create life). That said we also don't know if he exited the tower, do we?
What's the difference between a ranker with defacto immortality and a FH immortality contract at this point anyways? Before the Zahard empire beings couldn't climb and 'rank' but they can now and don't seem to age (or age so imperceivably slow that they are effectively ageless). We don't know if the FH contract makes them ageless and invulnerable. It is said only Zahard is invulnerable from tower inhabitants due to his kingly, SECONDARY contract - which the FH do not have. OTOH, you have Arlen who couldn't kill herself, supposedly, or at least she healed so fast it was too difficult to kill herself a la Wolverine trying to slit his wrists. Making her *effectively* invulnerable, but does it have a limit (some here think she was able to find a way to suicide after all)?
IMO, she pulls double-duty. As both.
Effectively a distinction without a difference. Well, small differences - for one they would share FULL Zahard genetics rather than half. For two, it just underscores his 'seed' is too powerful to 'take' by natural means. But really it's just the difference between how they were begat. The mechanics if you will of how they came to be.
I agree.
