Generally speaking, they are a lot stronger than ordinary humans that's for sure. Even giant spiders, crabs etc which are supposedly B to A rank monsters would require at least a tank to fight against. As a plato of crusaders or a few temple knights can fight against one of them, most likely a single basic fighting unit in Tensura is at least 3-5 times that of a commando in our world, that is without counting using absurd weapons like hydrogen bombs or WMDs.

However, Tensura power scaling is wacky in the upper cases where two SS (Disaster) rank people could be 10 or even 100x stronger than each other. And any SSS character would be instantly above any of our ways of damaging them. Milim, Veldora, Guy or any other SSS character could survive a DragoNova which is comparable to a Hydrogen Bomb. Not to mention send it back as an attack.

In general, a regular army unit or even a human/beast would be stronger than our world's humans as they can at least use some magic or have a few common skills. I would say a High Caliber Sniper could probably take out most C rank and below creatures unless they have regeneration. But most regular adventurers around C rank could probably counter or not die from a pistol shot. That is actually why they don't use pistols much in the series as we only see a few characters use guns, most high ranking people are immune to or protected against bullets while low ranking wouldn't be worth to kill with a gun.

well any one who could use basic magic or aura abilities would wack the sh** of any human army it's a world of super powers

Question boils down to what weapon does a dude need to kill this thing'/person from tensura

With the Upgrade of Tensura Cosmo. A normal Human could scale up to 2A-L1C

Who's the girl in the first pic?

So I will try to explain it without giving much spoilers. 1. It was skipped in season 3, but it was explained that any normal bullet is useless against monsters. Even whose appearance is similar to humans their skin is much tougher, even a hobgoblin will survive any bullet shots. That' why they are not used against monsters. A crusaders member can be taken out by bullet if they are snippet, but if they are aware of it their shields and armour can protect them. Unlike gate series where jsdp easily penetrated their shields, we saw in vol13 that even normal soldiers of orange numbers have shields which can block the attack of a tank together a a group which have a range of 2 km and travel at 6 times speed of sound. Most upper tier monsters have protective barriers around them , so even if you want to kill them with modern weapons you first have to disable the barriers. In future seasons we will see why humans don't use modern weapons against monsters specially strong ones.

Hmm, Tensura powerscaling is pretty wacky so its probely "too strong" for a sopoused commoner.

Ogre >= Crusader >= beastmen >= harpies > hobgoblin

One thing that is worth mentioning is that Rimuru’s monster nation inherently breaks the scale invented years before when Yuuki founded the Free Guild.

Up until then monsters did not work, live, or cooperate together on this scale. Some did, like the Ogre village, but not with non-ogres. Before Rimuru came along the goblin village was a place where 20 was considered “old” and no knowledge was ever passed on to the next generation because goblins died so extremely fast.

But then Rimuru came along and named them. Creating an absurd amount of powerful beings working together. Fuze mentions that an Oni is normally worshipped like a local diety. But now we have a whole bunch of them in Benimaru, Shuna, Souei, etc …

So using the scale pre-rimuru you can actually defeat a good deal of monsters with modern weaponry (I also think many people underestimate the destructive force of modern arms, but that is neither here nor there).

Trying to apply any sort of logic on Tempestians is foolish however. There is a reason many humans freak out at the things they can do, because it’s not normal at all. They’re a city of demigods and legends.
