I guess I'll see how that's gonna be written in a believable way. Surely the author wouldn't do some cheap writing like having the roof be destroyed and the demon dies from sunlight.
Daki (Upper-6) is certainly weaker than the other Upper demons in terms of actual combat ability, as shown by Tanjiro being able to cut her at all, but she makes up for it in terms of cunning and effectiveness.

Upper-3 is a Battle Retard. He's strong, but he sure is stupid. He got goaded into a lot of mistakes fighting Kyoujurou, and stupidly tried to convince the one of the Best Boys to join them. Which shows a real lack of comprehension and reading people. He's also branded himself a coward, and even attempted to boast of that failure to Muzan.

Daki knows well that a Hashira would be able to detect her instantly, and yet she's still killed a lot. I don't think Muzan is lying about how much he respects her. She follows his model too, going into hibernation or relocating for a few decades before resurfacing as a new Oiran to repeat the pattern.

She's careful, methodical, clean, and very skilled at ambushes in her own preferred hunting grounds. The one guy suspected her, but that's only after she's started openly killing. She was probably pretty close to moving on as it stood, but even then, she's selecting targets who were about to leave, and settled in an area where people disappear all the time for explainable reasons.

She's everything Muzan wants in an Upper Six. I would imagine that if she successfully killed off everyone here, and escaped cleanly, that Muzan would reward her with a significant blood infusion to rank her upwards.

Sure, she might have been playing around with her prey, but still. I hope they do her justice in the near future and show how fearsome she truly is.

Same. He knew the obi sash like tentacles were her weapons, and noticed she was using them to somehow sub-space absorb them, and also that it was unlikely that Daki had openly killed anyone (why he suspected the wives were all still alive), but severing out the good Oiran was completely a fortunate accident. All three leads do that quite a bit. They're luckier than they are skilled at this point.

It's actually a surprise that Kanao still outranks all of them. I'd like to see her fight, honestly.
