Thanks.

In terms of power, I'm a little unsure, but I would give the edge to EL (Escha and Logy). The final boss uses enough energy to make a giant laboratory (The lost ruins https://atelier.fandom.com/wiki/Geosis) fly in the air as well as creating storm clouds covering the ruins in seconds to prevent others from going near them. The final boss basically gathers all the energy in the ruins to fight the party, so EL should scale. In my opinion it trumps EA (Edward and Alphonse) scaling to Father blowing up the courtyard.

Speedwise I have to look for some speed feats for EL, so I'm unsure her at the moment.

Lastly, while EA are better combat trained and their alchemy is better for battlefield control and has no risk of running out, ELs alchmeic items give them better coverage for different situations including healing, water items pose a huge threat to Alphonse and can take him out in one hit, their weapons and armor contain elements that EA are unfamiliar with, making them safe from Edward's destruction alchemy (since he can't complete the first step of knowing the material, a step even a philosophers stone can't circumvent to my knowledge).

So I would give EL the win with higher offensive output, better counters against EAs hax and in the end also better staying power in the long run, since it's more likely that they win before they run our of items then the other way around.
