The White Court is Underpowered

I'm sure Lara is stronger going all out, but it still seemed like WK and WCV were on one tier, and BCV was on another.

Was he? Or is it he just didn't take into account heat and the damage it can do? Also Mavra and company seemed to freak when anvils were raining from the sky.. If they were all that strong, they would have had an answer for that.

A strong, fully-fed White seems to have Wolverine-like healing- at first. When sufficiently injured, they go feral, and also feed indiscriminately. Don't underestimate that.

I think they're very formidable against humans and average wizards. But against a Blamp, that they presumably can't whammy or feed from? That exceed their raw strength, can also take massive damage, and can feed from them? Not as formidable.
Ramps seem like wimps, so I'm not going to argue against a Wamp taking one on. But unless the Wamp is specifically geared up to take on one, I don't see your average Wamp taking out your average Blamp.
BrainFireBob:
Wamps don't have Blamp weaknesses. Holy water, garlic- religious symbols are probably out, but that's it. Conflict isn't about arm wrestling matches.

Conflict is about what people bring to the fight.
If it's a battle where they're expecting Blamps, then Wamps can bring supplies. Garlic smoke bombs and holy water pistols might come in handy.
Likewise, Blamps can wear a wetsuit and avoid contact with most of that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The_Sibelis:
The WCV don't just mimic human. They possess the free will of a naturalized resident of reality. Something neither the blacks or reds actually did.
