I agree Opak, I think Varagarv is quite overrated, especially in comparison to his Mad Dog colleague Buelsar. And yeah, I rated them based on both their battle capabilities and strategic capabilities (i.e. I feel Aguero's mental prowess is high enough that he'd be able to outmatch characters like Ran and Anak).

The only reason why Buelsar gets looked down upon is because Viole curbstomped him. He lost to an Irregular who would later go on to challenge Hoaqin+3; Varagarv would have suffered the exact same defeat. On the other hand, Varagarv only faced Androssi (and lost).

Regardless of that, Varagarv and Buelsar are both Mad Dogs--who have been shown to be leagues stronger than the average Regular of their level (much like Zahard Princesses)--and both were sent up the Tower (along with a 3rd Mad Dog) because they were all supposedly very strong. Just from that alone it would be very strange if the were a [noticeably] large power gap between Varagarv and Buelsar. At worst, Buelsar is a little weaker than Varagarv, at best, Buelsar is a little stronger than Varagarv.
