Tbf she was like that before they just saved all her cool moves for a high stakes battle.

?

She was overconfident and arrogant, and got herself compromised, forcing Ainz to kill her in order to get the debuff off her.

In the books you get her perspective, and her confidence gets completely destroyed by the mind control incident. She eventually develops a pretty healthy level of caution similar to the one Ainz exercises.

She was still that strong in S1...

Note that nothing listed in the meme has anything to do with her physical capabilities, only personality traits.

The meme is about the change in her personality and competence.

Not raw ability.

Yeah, she wasn't one, she was incompetent and fucked up.

The key word there is reliable.

Lupusregina made a similar mistake, she fucked around and found out, and Ainz became furious with her because she didn't take things seriously when told to keep the village safe.

It was a human village so she thought it wouldn't matter if some of them died, so she didn't try very hard to stop it from happening. So even though she had the abiltiy, she still fucked it up.

It didn't matter that they were maxed out in terms of strength, when their heads weren't in the right place.

Listing "reliable bodyguard" infers some level of skill that is not present in season 1. Thats what the meme says.

Exactly, yes. She learned from her mistakes and became a more skilled floor guardian.

You nailed it.
