If Ryuka's page were up to date I'd suggest her for being at least comparable to Tset, but it's not (and I don't plan on updating it any time soon if at all and would kind of rather avoid debating which of the two of them is superior to begin with).

Anyway, Blane (no profile) and Kura from Reincarnation Wars are up there, as are probably a number of people in the verse due to having any number of mix-matched highly skilled characters. Ilia comes to mind and actually has a profile, but Kura is still probably the most skilled among them. She has at least multiple billions of years of experience which (I know we said doesn't mean much by itself but it's worth noting) were spent fighting against literal multiverses worth of various different types of enemies, and were constantly used to improve herself further and further to reach the impossible goal of surpassing her leader. As evidenced by Blane's encounter with her training robot, she's encountered at least millions of unique styles of martial arts in her lifetime, including ones for unarmed combat along with every weapon imaginable (and are shown to produce supernatural effects like causality and fate manipulation etc), and is capable of using quite a few of them herself. The robot itself, when limited to only a fraction of its known styles can keep up with Blane, who has the combined knowledge and abilities of characters like Saber (Musashi Miyamoto), Anai Miu, Shirou Emiya (Composite), Jin Mo-Ri, The White Queen (Blood Sign), Composite Link and Fran, and Kura is superior to it when it goes all out. Even with all of the yes, I admit, nonsense going on in the current set, Kura is more than capable of keeping up with the party, was able to learn how to move her own concept along with the rest of them, and is still one of their heaviest hitters if not the heaviest despite her quite noticeable lack of hax relative to each of them.

Also Mikage. On top of having the skills of Rimuru Tempest, she's basically borderline composite Anima Beyond Fantasy. She has the skills, knowledge, experience, and literal genetic data of every being that exists in the verse with a Gnosis of 35 or less, which includes people like Ergo Mundus and The Bearer, who were able to go up against and defeat an enemy who not only had access to all of their own abilities, but also the combined knowledge and experience of mankind's collective unconscious, past, present and future, and actually happened to, in fact, be a lot stronger than them. Mikage's database would also include most of the Messengers, who are 21 beings each comparable to Ergo, and people like Lucanor, who despite having absolutely zero interest in fighting whatsoever, was able to pick up a sword literally twice in his entire life and became "one of the best swordmasters in the world", where several people exist that can literally stop time via swordsmanship, and characters who can solo entire armies without getting a single drop of blood on themselves are considered glorified fodder.
