Though remember that there are all sorts of different routes to power. Etyries has a widespread network of worshippers plus the whacking great big power boost that is the backing of Sedenya (which does beg the question of just where she gets so much power, and how sustainable this is...). Danvodir, though, has a long tradition and is deeply rooted in the Rinliddi culture, such that every Rinliddi probably mumbles an automatic prayer to Danvodir before going to market, etc.
Let's say, oh, just as random speculation, that the Red Moon is clawed from the sky - how long would Etyries remain Big? But unless the Rinliddi are wiped out or forget their traditions, Danvodir will survive.
If we are thinking of deities in 'top trumps'/trading cards terms, it is probably worth remembering that there are all sorts of different ways in which to measure and rate deities.
All the best
