The Pleiades in overlord, also known as the Combat Maid Squad of Nazarick, are secondary characters compared to Ainz and the Floor Guardians. However, they are still quite powerful. Especially if a reader/viewer compares them to someone else in this Yggdrasil-esque world, as they are all between levels 10-30 on average.
The Pleiades aren’t quite as big a jump in power or level as the other Nazarick members, but these battle girls have levels that range from the late 1940s all the way up to 100, and each has a different specialization. In addition, many of the Jobs, Races, and game-like mechanics of overlord’s setting have not yet been revealed in the source material, so this ranking in effect is based on information provided so far in the story.
Small spoilers for the Pleiades members in overlord below. Thanks to SkytheWood for the Character Sheet translations.
8 Entoma Vasilissa Zeta: The Entomancer
Unfortunately, taking the back of the group is probably the most visually distinctive girl, Entoma Vasilissa Zeta. While Entoma may seem absurdly strong, especially when viewers watch her fight, that’s only when compared to Blue Rose members. Even Evil Eye, the strongest member, was able to take her down thanks to an absurdly lucky spell called Vermin Bane, which works incredibly well against insects. The situation may have been against her, but Entoma still really lost to a non-Nazarick native. No other Battle Maid in the anime has suffered such a defeat before.
Mainly part of the Arachnoid Race, Entoma has surprisingly specialized more in her Job Levels than her Raciale. She is usually specified as a Talismancer and Entomancer, which are actually more suited to Support than pure Offense. As a final nail in the coffin that puts Entoma at the bottom of the rankings, she’s only level 51, which is almost at the bottom of the Pleiades levels.
7 Solution Episilon: The Slime-Shoggoth
Solution is the gossip, torture-loving Shoggoth of the Pleiades. Solution, unlike Entoma, is much more specialized in her racial levels than her job levels. She is a 10th level Shoggoth, Ubbo-Sathla and a few other undisclosed races. Basically, she’s a really evil Slime monster. However, her highest level Job is Poison Maker at only 4th level, followed by Assassin at 2nd level. Solution specializes in capturing enemies by taking them into her empty, but seemingly infinite body, where she can choose to consume them or keep them safe. She’s essentially a Slime who has all the stereotypical advantages of this monster race – as well as their weaknesses, such as her weakness for Blunt-type damage.
This glaring weakness to a common damage type, low levels in her jobs, and specialization in capture and espionage are the main reasons why Solution is at the bottom of the rankings. However, she is another character who overlord fans haven’t seen much fighting either.
6 Yuri Alpha: The Striker
Speaking of blunt damage, Yuri Alpha is the group’s Dullahan Race and Striker Job user who specializes in direct damage at close range using Fa Jin-like abilities. She is much more of a direct damage dealer than Entoma. That said, although she is vice-captain of the squad, Yuri’s level is at the bottom at 51.
Still, most of the other maids treat Yuri as a sort of “big sister”, regardless of her rank or level. It is clear that she is respected for her professionalism and intelligence. As one of Yamaiko’s creations, Yuri uses Gauntlets as her creator did. She also seems to have a similar kind of personality, which is probably why she’s also one of the few characters who don’t naturally “hate” people, along with Nigredo and Pestonya.
5 CZ2128 “Shizu” Delta: The Gunner
It’s a little surprising to see CZ rank so highly, considering she’s the lowest tier in the Pleiades at 46, but there’s a reason for that. First, Delta is a vending machine, meaning she’s naturally resistant to many types of damage that the other maids would struggle with. Second, she specializes almost entirely in her Jobs of Gunner and Sniper, making her unstoppable when fighting at a distance.
And since she also has quite a few levels in the Assassin and Stalker Jobs, CZ is great at dodging her enemies until she’s in a perfect position to shoot them from afar.
4 Lupus Regina Beta: The Battle Cleric
Although fans haven’t seen it in the anime yet, Lupusregina Beta is a werewolf and also fills the role of “Battle Cleric” in the Pleiades. Like CZ, she only has five tiers in her racial level and the rest are placed in her orbits. She has 10 levels in Cleric, 5 in Battle Cleric, 5 in Hierophant, and 4 in Warlord, as well as 30 other levels in various unnamed Jobs.
Lupusregina is the only girl with a way to heal herself a lot in combat, allowing her to survive most of her opponents in combat. She’s a bit more “mundane” compared to a Dullahan, an Automaton, or other monstrous characters in similar anime. However, she is definitely one of the stronger Maids of the Pleiades.
3 Naberal Gamma: The Mage
Nabarel Gamma is the battle girl that fans of the overlord anime have probably seen the most, and she’s also the least “emotional.” But as the highest-ranking member of the Pleiades at 63, Naberal isn’t really afraid of much. Nabarel is another girl who has invested heavily in her jobs, with only one level in the Doppelganger Race and the other 62 levels split between War Wizard (10), Air Elementalist (10), Armored Mage (10), Fighter (1 ), as well as a bunch of other unnamed jobs.
She is the team’s main “caster” and uses a ton of different elemental magic to deal massive damage to a single target or AoE. And since she’s the one who brought Ainz to infiltrate E-Rantel, Naberal is strong enough (and scary enough) for even the great ruler Ainz Ooal Gown to recognize her.
2 Aurol Omega: The Commander
Aurol Omega is a member of the Pleiades that almost no one knows about. That’s because she usually resides in Nazarick as an Area Guardian of the Cherry Blossom Sanctuary. From here, Omega controls all teleportation ports in Nazarick. She also protects the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown when Momonga isn’t using it.
However, as a fighter, she is quite unique in that she is one of the few “people” who are part of Nazarick. Unfortunately, fans haven’t seen much of Aurole Omega’s power, even in the original Light Novel, so it’s hard to say for sure how strong she is. But as a level 100 Area Guardian with a variety of levels in Commander-type Jobs, it’s safe to say she’s probably very strong.
1 Sebas Tian: The Ki Master Leader
Technically, even though Sebas isn’t a “Battle Maid” (obviously), he’s still the leader of them. And while he’s also not technically a Floor Guardian like Demiurge or Aura, his strength is more comparable. Like someone like Yuri Alpha, Sebas is an unarmed specialist who uses punches and kicks to blow his enemies away.
His Job and Race levels have a ratio of 3 to 1. He has put 75 of his 100 levels in his Jobs. 15 are in the Ki Master Job, 10 in Martial King, 10 in Monk, 5 in Striker and 5 in Out Ki Master. As the leader of the group, a level 100 NPC and an attack type fighter, Sebas is by far the strongest of the Pleiades that viewers have probably seen the most fighting out of the group.
