 The ranking of top ten warriors of Ramayana would be as follows

1 Lord Rama/ Sita

He was the avatar of Vishnu and is said to possess all the celestial weapons of Treta yug.

He defeated and killed powerful demons like Maricha, Viradha, Tarakasura, Kabandha and Subahu in dandaka forest. He killed Khara, Doosana along with 14000 rakshasas single handedly

Lord Rama is powerful enough to destroy the three words and recreate the universe. when he is in anger even Brahma, Lord Shiva or Indra are incapable of facing him.

He easily had the capability to demolish the entire rakshasa clan of Ravana single handedly within seconds but in order to follow his restrictions as a human he did not try to do so.

Sita killed Sahasra Ravana in adhbuta Ramayana assuming maha kali form who was even powerful than Ravana.

Sita was powerful enough to burn down Ravana by her glance but to follow her restriction as a human and as she wanted Rama to save her she did not try to do so

She is Mata Mahalakshmi and the supreme personality of godhead.

She is Adiparashakti and mool prakraiti and Mother of infinite universes.

2 Hanuman/ Lakshmana

He was the incarnation of Lord Shiva and the son of Vayu dev

He had a boon from Brahma that no celestial weapon can kill him.

Hanuman had the ability to change his form and fly in the air

Hanuman had injured Kumbhkarana and broken his spike and made him retreat. He easily could kill Kumbhkarana and save Sugriva but not to defame him he refused to do so

He made Ravana unconscious with a single blow of his fist and was fighting mildly with him because Rama had vowed to kill him

Hanuman killed powerful demons like Jambumali, Akapana, Dhoomarshaka, Nikumbha and Devatanka and burnt the entire Lanka in front of Ravana

Sage Vishwamitra is said to have conquered the heaven along with Indra and other gods.

9 Atikaya

He was strong enough to paralyse thunderbolt of Indra with normal arrows.

He defeated the noose of varun deva. He obtained celestial weapons from Brahma and an impenetratable Brahma armour

Seeing the physical body of Atikaya the vanaras thought him to be Kumbhkarana and fled in terror.

Vibhishana feared that he would destroy the entire vanara army in a single day if not stopped.

Atikaya gave a good fight to Lakshmana in archery and even made him unconscious with a single arrow.

10 Kumbhkarana

He was physically the strongest rakshasa of Treta yug and the only demon who defeated Indra, Yama and the 33 gods without any aid of boons

Kumbhkarana became such a threat to the world that fearing him Brahma cursed him to sleep for six months.

He overpowered Hanuman with his spike and defeated vanara generals like Sugriva, Angada, Nila and Rishaba

Rama,’ s arrows failed to have any impact on him and the arrow by which Rama killed Vali had zero impact on him

Lord Rama had to use four celestial weapons to kill Kumbhkarana.
