Its nice that we will finally find out what AxA does but looking at the spoilers Issei's rivals need to become Maou level minimum to stand a chance against him. Vali being the main rival will no doubt have the strongest power up since Vali needs to surpass AxA so in their final fight Vali seems to have the upper hand. I think the other rivals should at least become powerful enough to be challenging for him with his AxA powers.
