IMO the elite Sternritter were deserving of their ranks.

Pernida was hard to defeat due to its ability to evolve and make clones of itself from severed "body" parts. Askin was incredibly difficult to kill and had a very effective Schrift power. Gerard seems kinda equally difficult to kill (for the time being) because of The Miracle.

Only Lille kinda failed in this regard. He had a great potential with the level of difficulty he could have provided if he used his Schrift power properly in Vollständig - a capacity of 24 all-penetrating Heilig Pfeil at once could do quite some harm if just a quarter of them hit the target.
