Anyway the only one we probably need is Urianger since he likes to make some strange plot devices...
Regarding "power levels"

It's nowhere near as simple as you make out.
First, Zenos was a man with a pseudo-Echo, so maybe comparable to us, and he had the power of a primal, Shinryu. But the WoL is experienced in defeating primals, that's exactly what we do.
Elidizenos is not the same. he's an Ascian, and he has Zenos's body. Defeating a Ascian is much harder than defeating a Primal, it's taken very specific circumstances, and immence amounts of aether, to kill an Ascian, and this is apparently the top Ascian, stronger than all of the others.

Then we account for the fact that we didn't defeat Zenos one-on-one the first time, it was a group effort.
Then we add in the fact that we're currently weakened by the fact that we're periodically being called to another plain of existence.
