Let's settle this once and for all. The Archangels are more powerful than Leviathans. Death said Leviathans were created before "Angel or Man". Archangels are not exactly Angels ,they're there own thing. Like the Difference between a Sabretooth Tiger and a domestic cat. The Leviathans were the first "Beasts" meaning living things or at least indigenouos to Earth. This doesn't mean the first creation, leaving room for the Archangels, which in the 11th season seems way more likely.

Before the Universe began, there was The Darkness. God and his Archangels declared and battled a terrible War against The Darkness, The Darkness is undoubtedly more powerful than the Leviathans but lost against the Archangels. Many say that God fought with them but nothing shows that he did. The show has made it clear that God rarely gets involved directly i.e. God sending Lucifer to Hell where in reality God ordered Michael to Send Lucifer to Hell. Now I'm not saying a Lone Archangel can defeat The Darkness, but the combined force of ALL the Archangels could or more likely did. But if God did join in direct combat, the prowess of the Archangels is still prevalent...as they still battled an entity that predated creation and probably on par with Death.

Now many of you probably say "But God only said that they could be killed by the blood of three fallen on the bone of a saint", this is only partly true. Remember what Castiel said, the tablets weren't meant for Angels or Archangels, only men. This was a guide for humanity on how to kill Leviathans not for Angels or Archangels. A person in the woods would need someone to teach them how to make a bow ad arrow to kill, a person with a submachine gun wouldn't give a crap how to make a bow and arrow...and nor should they. Just like the Okami needs to be killed by a bamboo dagger, blessed by a shinto priest and stabbed 7 times, but Bobby showed the a wood chipper did the job well. So the Leviathans needs to be killed by the blood of the fallen on the bone of a saint, I'm sure the power of Heaven's most terrifying weapons can get the job done.
