Well, I think there's a good chance that Daybreaker is more powerful, or at least more dangerous than Celestia would be. She was, after all, corrupted by the Pony of Shadows' magic, and lacked the restraint that Celestia would show in a similar situation. She did, after all, destroy her own Nightmare Moon and helped Eris to destroy the Pony of Shadows. Still, I'll agree that Eris seemed to go down far too easily, unless Daybreaker is just even more absurdly powerful than we've been led to believe.

It seems apparent that Eris was a little too confident in her own abilities, and perhaps a bit too dependent on the old Staff of Sacanas and having Daybreaker as her slave. She undoubtedly didn't think that a magicless cat and an illusionist unicorn could fool her, which actually enabled them to do so. I do hope she gets a chance at another appearance, perhaps as part of another dimension-hopping story. It would be interesting to see whether Daybreaker-or Reflections Sombra, for that matter-will ever be revisited and possibly healed of their dark infections.
