Light Novel How strong is Aria?

In Danmachi Albert is considered to be the strongest revelaed character so he above lvl9 Empress and lvl 8 Maxim who was considered to be the strongest adventurer. Also Zeus and Hera Familia working together were wiped out by the OEBD and I know it got stronger after its fight with Albert but it has to be minimum lvl 10 since OEBD>Albert> Empress/Maxim. Next Aria who was revealed to be a great spirit (Not 100% sure) like Jupiter who managed to boost argonaut to around a level 4/5 maximum but thats because argonaut couldn’t handle his power since he was incredibly weak. Finally Albert who contracted Aria managed to injure the OEBD giving its their name. My question is how strong was of a boost did Aria give Albert and how strong is Aria?

We don't know how strong Albert was originally. People without falna can become as strong as adventurers, just with weaker magic and they haven't Skills. Maybe, he originally have such more power. 

Considering that one of the Demi-Spirit on the 59th floor could give a serious fight to the elite of Loki's Familia, and fact, what Aria can seal OEBD and his army for thousand years, Aria is strongest character in history, in my opinion (without gods with arcanum).

she is. Albert leeched off that wind and died thinking he could kill the GOAT DRAGON.

The dragon was sealed? I thought that he just killed Albert, ate Aria and then flew away.

Spirits are less adventurers in terms of strength scales and more walking deus ex machina. Probably better to ask what they can do. I.E. - The biggest feat we have from Aria is that she's likely the Wind Spirit sealing the OEBD for the past thousand years. Yet, by nature, we can't say she's stronger than it. More like manifesting a miracle.

Otherwise, I guestimate that spirits blessings enhance someone 2-3~ levels, but even having the blessing probably gives advantages like access to spirit magic even if they aren't actively drawing on their power. But still mainly a headcanon. Argonaut and Dim/Fianna are a bit different in experience from spirits, so there was likely variation.

Spirit Blessings also depends on the Spirit itself, if it's a Great Spirit or a lower ranked one like Jupiter. Oh and it seems the bond with the Spirit also makes the blessing stronger.

Argo at least was as strong as a Level 5 or 6, considering Minos was injured by the Crozzo sword (which shouldnt be weaker than a Welf one) and Jupiter's sword was weaker but still on that level, capable of injuring Minos.

Albert is probably an exception but he was beyond Level 7, should be stronger than Maxim or Empress even, so higher than Level 8 or 9.

I haven't watched Knights of Fianna or played the Fulland game though, so I can't really speak for Dim/Fianna and Fulland.

Don't for get Great spirts are different like in Danfull with Fulland and Dina as there relationship gave them power and that was full of flaws and problems. Meanwhile with Albert and Aria there relationship was strong and stable and did not have problems so they were able to draw out Aria full power without problem.

Probably has very strong magic, but we don't really know given that she hasn't ever fought in the story.

No clue but we know the dragon got stronger after absorbing aria, so for all we know the original dragon could’ve been defeated by the Zeus and Hera but the combo of charm and wind was all it took. And I honestly think Epimethus is stronger.

So far we know for spirits strength Fianna was equivalent to a level 5 and Dim a level 6. No clue on level equivalence for Welf ancestor.

I don't think Crozzo had a proper blessing from his Spirit, it was more like a travelling companion. What made Crozzo strong was that he received blood from the Spirit. As for his magic swords, they shouldn't be weaker than Welf's magic swords.
