There are 10 demon slayer ranks, Tanjiro being the lowest was able to put some
fight against Lower Moon Rui. Which demon slayer rank is needed to be able to
defeat a Twelve Demon Moon Lower Moon?

I think it's not depend on demon slayer's rank like Tanjiro. He has abilities
and skills adopt from his father and his experience and succeed from Sakonji
Urokodaki's training. Higher rank than Tanjiro has only have more experience
in battling with demons than him that's why they're high rank. Therefore, it
depends on demon slayer's skills and abilities.

Ranks are given based on completing missions so they might be a bit
unreliable.

A better answer could be that, usually, only Pillars can take down demon moons
unless a talanted rookie comes in picture

> There are such those who reached pillar levels in 2 months after picking the
> blade, Gyomei and Muichiro are two such people.

In the Manga **Vol 6 Chapter 47** Ubuyashiki mentions that the pillars are the
strongest and most talented demon slayers in the corps, they may even defeat
the 12 demon moons. In the anime **episode 23** , Ubuyashiki tells Tanjiro
that the pillars have themselves defeated pillars to come where they are
today.

Spoilers about Tanjiro and party's ranks:
