Above Anon is correct. The Angel Nigun supposedly did summon was the Principality and not the Dominion. (We can't even say that for certain as it was there throughout the beginning of the fight with Gazef. We see the scrub casters resummoning Archangel Flames, but we never see Nigun actually summoning anything.) However... it derailed long before I responded. I only was responding to the 'damaging Ainz' comment and the level discussion attached to that, not the original speculation. The Principality didn't even get so far... Ainz took the hit from the flat out with no damage.

The Principality is probably roughly equivalent to a Death Knight, and it has similar drawbackss to one. The Death Knight has Lv40 Defenses and Lv25 Attack. The Principality likely has about the same Attack level with the same Defenses as it's Attack. But it boosts the Attack and Defense of everything else allied to it. My guess is that it's roughly Lv30ish, about the same as a typical DK. Which would be in line with Nigun being the summoner... he was supposed to be very capable, but not really outstanding. So roughly Lv30, which places him at roughly Mithril / Orichalcum equivalency.

I agree with Meta's original estimate for the Dominion. It's probably Lv40-45. And had a 1-use ability equivalent to a Tier 7 Spell. It probably would have been able to 1-shot the DK with it's ability, but we never see that matchup.

However, I do believe the whole debate was made with the assumption that since Nigun used the Crystal that he was the 'Caster'. He is not. He's the 'Controlling Summoner', but the actual 'Caster' was the person who originally placed the Spell in the Crystal. (Restating my opinion from earlier post.)
