Her Noble Phantasm wasn't something special. And it's normal any servant can fight another toe to toe. They say Saber is the strongest but I've never seen her as the strongest. Berserk & the previous Archer are a bit stronger. And so is the actual Archer. Assassin is weak because he has an ordinary Nodachi, even Saber admited that he's a fearsome enemy and it would be even harder if he has a good sword. And there's probably no way Saber could defeat Caster in the 2nd season.
And in the Zero route, Berserk & Rider wasn't strong enough. But you remember the Lancer fight? The caster wasn't too strong also.
Her Noble Phantasm is almost as strong as Excalibur though and no it isn't necessarily normal for Servants to have an equal footing with others. Some Servants naturally have their own advantages. In the case of Saber and Rider, Saber could easily outmatch Rider in close combat however because of the advantages that Rider created for herself (fighting in air) she was able to hold off Saber for a long time that's why I said under the right circumstances some weaker Servants could potentially kill stronger ones.

That's why I said excluding Berserker and using Gilgamesh for comparison is unfair honestly. By actual Archer, if you're referring to Rin's Archer, he's not that strong.

She can because the 3 Knight classes all have Magic Resistance with Saber in particular being the highest. Most of Caster's magic wouldn't work effectively against Saber but she's a crafty magician so she can work it out.

But they are though? Berserker gave Gilgamesh a run for his money and Rider didn't seem strong enough because he didn't get a proper fight. His fight with Gilgamesh was a literal curbstomp. I won't comment on Saber vs Zero Lancer because my memory of it is vague but Caster also gave a lot of Servants trouble.
