Cha Hae-In vs The Ant Queen

5 places
The victimThe Ant QueenSolo Leveling · rank 30

Five rungs apart is close enough for a kill to carry weight, and this one is undercut by the victim rather than the winner. The queen had held Jeju through three attempts to retake it and put poison through two hunters' battle armour, yet Beru's later account was that she could barely fight — reproduction was the power, and her shadow came out so weak the extraction was stopped. Cha Hae-In cleared the royal guards, then took the head.

The connecting record

The Ant Queen on the Solo Leveling ladder

What this does not settle

One death in one work. It is the only place the record puts these two in the same room, and it is evidence about that meeting and nothing wider — not a general matchup, not a rematch, and not a ranking of its own.

The ladder above it is argued from everything either of them has been shown doing; this page is argued from one citation.

Where the two disagree, the disagreement is the point, and it stays visible rather than being resolved by whichever of them happens to be on this page.
