I don't see how that can hold true.

Case 1: If the other Historias weren't weaker than their earlier appearances (but just aren't as high level as the Spriggan - which is debatable anyway, especially for Hades) and were summoned at full power with no toll on Neinheart how did an injured Wendy defeat Ezel in one blow? How did an injured Laxus takes down freakin' Hades? How did Erza survive against 3 previous enemies?

Case 2: If the earlier were also weaker versions because Historias in general don't match their living counterparts, then why did Gray and Lyon struggle?

It's just Mashima inconsistency and rushing. There's no more trying to justify and apply logic in FT anymore imo. Just my opinion though~

(Btw, Ur was stated to be Wizard Saint level when she was alive, just saying)
