@ThatBoyRimuru, EP alone is NOT a deciding factor when you consider a versus between Testarossa or any of the Twelve Patrons. Raw power doesn't guarantee victory as is the case when Benimaru faced Kazaream. During the Tenma War Arc, Kazaream was made a Great Demon Lord in the same way Rimuru was. The only difference was he was weaker in comparison, but when Kazaream faced off against Leon, Mizari and Benimaru. Kazaream's total power eclipsed the three of them combined and the only reason Benimaru won this fight was because he borrowed power from Rimuru and he used his own power more effectively in comparison to Kazaream who threw his power around unfocused. This of course only happened in the Web Novel as the Light Novel is still ongoing and we are still in the Eastern Empire War Arc.

In regards to Testarossa and Ranga's EP comparison. I'd hardly call those numbers accurate anymore especially in the Light Novel. Unlike the Web Novel Testa who was little more then a powerful Arch Demon in her first appearance. Light Novel Testarossa meanwhile is a member of the Demon Primordials of Color. This makes her many times stronger then her WN counterpart as the Seven Demon Primordials are the oldest and strongest demons in existence. Everyone in the world fears them getting a body in the physical world as shown in the case of Guy Crimson. His power is unmatched and by Volume 11. Four of the Demon Primordials now call Tempest home and are fanatically loyal to Rimuru. The remaining two serve under Guy Crimson but that doesn't matter as the Demon Primordials should not be underestimated especially in Testarossa's case.

Now since this post is getting long, I'm gonna cut it short. Ranga even IF he has more EP in comparison to Testarossa stands abolsutely no chance. As again Testarossa has been around a very long time and it can be argued whether she is the second or third oldest demon in existence. Guy Crimson is first and he is followed by either Diablo or Testarossa but its unknown who is exactly older between the two. Either way because of her advanced age and the experience she's gained fighting against her fellow Primordials. Testarossa will without a doubt use her power and skills more effectively then Ranga who has only recently achieved his status as a True Demon Lord. By the way we aren't even considering what special ability/skill Testarossa has as Demon Primordials each have a special ability that distinguishes them.
