There is actually no evidence that Alivia is the strongest of all damane. It actually would be very surprising if of all damane, Rand's troops managed to capture the strongest of all Seanchan damane in PoD. Most likely some super strong damane are in the possession of the Imperial Family. It makes sense then that Tuon took at least one super strong damane with her for the campaign in the Westlands.
But maybe BS will clarify it in coming Q&A (maybe he would answer "Is Alivia the strongest damane out there or at least the strongest among those we have seen in the series?", or Sera will play a more important role in ToM and/or AMoL, which shows her true strength.

This theory is based on nothing. You cannot assume that the strongest damane belong to the Imperial Family because it's common sense. There is no evidence for it and actual evidence AGAINST it because we've seen Tuon and her damane.
I've never claimed that Alivia is the strongest damane. She's merely the damane who RJ wanted us to know and she's got super strength.

I agree with Sidious - we have no evidence at this time, so she should remain off the list

Is Graendal the only Forsaken NOT to overstate her own ability then?

Your rankings hinge ENTIRELY on whether you have Graendal correctly placed.

Seems good, except I'd bunch up the upper levels and place Nynaeve a little higher. *NM*
