As can be seen here, Rosa is listed at "At Least High 6-A, Higher with Umbran Armor".
I find this quite bizarre, no doubt a result of dated profiles.
Throughout the Witch Hunts, Bayonetta and Rosa are repeatedly shown as equals, mirroring each other completely.
In her entry in Bayonetta 2, Rosa is described as the possibly the most powerful witch in history: "An Umbra Witch unparalleled in skill, thought to possibly be the strongest in the entire history of the clan."
Whilst you may be inclined to pick at the wording of "thought to possibly be" and "entire history of the clan", the message is plainly put across that Rosa is a powerhouse, and the message is obviously directed at the viewer. Does reading that seriously translate to "An Umbra Witch of unparallelled skill at the time, who may have but not anymore be the strongest in the clan, in the past"?
In her Bayonetta 3 Beta4 entry, she's plain out described as more powerful than Bayonetta, albeit her own Bayonetta.
We must note that in the Beta4 timeline, Balder is the one to perish in what's presumed to be the Sage Hunts, referencing real world events in France. That is to say, Balder was similarly vulnerable as Rosa was in the main timeline during the hunt, except that in the Beta4 timeline there was no Loptr to at the end to finish them off.
Some people downplay Rosa due to her death to Loptr, however in the original timeline this was was due to her saving Balder.
By applying the logic that Jeanne saving Bayonetta from Gomorrah and dying in the process means that Bayonetta would have suffered the same fate, Balder would have been the one to die in this scenario if Rosa didn't body block for him.
In the timeline Bayonetta returned to, Rosa was killed by Loptr after an unknown duration of fighting. We cannot say that Rosa was inferior to Bayonetta here, since Loptr has also beaten Bayonetta on every occassion they have fought.
When Rosa is described to be equal to, and has evidence that implies to Rosa even being superior to Bayonetta and Balder, of whom are a whole five tiers higher than her on this site, I'd say some adjustments are in order.
I propose upgrading Rosa to the common rank of Low 1-C, as well as her general stats (such as speed, durability, etc) matching her husband and daughter once more.
