Who is the SECOND strongest playable character in lore strength?

It is indisputable that Columbina is the strongest playable character in Genshin lore, due to the hax of her trilunar authority as the trilune goddess, which she can access any time even without the moon marrows she returned.

However, the thing about having such a clear cut #1 is that it creates a lack of clarity on everyone below them. My question is, who scales the second highest?

I think there's two candidates: Neuvillette, and Skirk.

Neuv: We know that dragon sovereign > archons, so before natlan he was the undisputed #1 in terms of lore strength. No character (besides columbina) that became playable really put this in doubt besides...

Skirk: Since there's so much ambiguity on her true level, she has such a broad range of what she scales to. We know that she's the caretaker of the narwhal that scales to planetary level and she effortlessly pocketed it in fontaine act 5, which should imply that she too is planetary level and stronger than neuvillette. However, it might've only been easy for her because neuv + fontaine traveler had already defeated the narwhal. Additionally, we see from her story quest that the traveler basically almost matched skirk in the fight against Skofnungr, which knocks her down a bit in my eyes.

who do you think is #2 out of the playable cast as of luna VIII? feel free to call me out if i'm wrong about anything I wrote.
