As I said before, lightning body is a pretty hard counter to that. He'd slip free of being bound by becoming intangible and then hurl nukes at Zeref. Seems pretty effective to me.
Because Laxus's lightning body has been shown to escape binding techniques before?
I agree he's top 5 Ishgar!
Red Lightning was aspull nothing else, but this doesent mean Laxus is weak, look the panels man Mavis stated Yuri is Like Laxus.... Precht said you have Yuri Blood in your veins. what this means? Laxus learned Red lightning from his ancestor..
It goes a little something like this in my book.
Chapter 69 page 12. Laxus dodges a punch from Natsu by turning into lightning.Because Laxus's lightning body has been shown to escape binding techniques before?
Laxus doesn't even use that move as an elusive technique, he mostly uses it to dart around his opponent like he did with Tempesta and Hades, how exactly do you use that to escape paralysis?
This isn't One Piece with Logias and Haki
yo this guy said FDKM natsu>laxus even natsu fans such as @natsulucy @Axiomus @Daniel9dsi and @CaptainTorch doesn't believe it but somehow u believe that
lets wait for the tournament to finish so we argue this blasphemy. ''laxus isnt top tier he feats are lack busting''

so ur making up characters so that laxus wouldnt be classified as a top tier
What's the difference, really? Mavis just used it at a time Fairy Tail wasn't formed, the 'Fairy' at the beginning just shows the spell is exclusive to Fairy Tail.
I would combine some of these tiers. For instance, I would add Igneel to the top tier, as well as August, since August's ability is stupid and seemingly infinite as long as he's getting hit by caster magic. I'd also drop Larcade because this is Fairy Tail where 90% of characters have broken degrees of willpower to overcome his abilities. I'd add several Spriggans and Ishgar mages to high tier as well, including Laxus. I generally leave dragons out altogether except for Irene because they're more events than actual opponents.
I didn't make the characters, Hiro did...duhyo this guy said FDKM natsu>laxus even natsu fans such as @natsulucy @Axiomus @Daniel9dsi and @CaptainTorch doesn't believe it but somehow u believe that
just because some people are stronger than him doesnt mean he isnt top tier ill just leave it at that.
@Emperor Spriggan u do realize that law=/=FL

actually ur right i thought there were different. except that mavis the improved it. but zeref was said that he thought irene enchantment magic does that mean your gonna give him feats that he hasnt shown??

who are the elder/legendary dragons??? who is the dragon queen (plz dont say irene that will be the joke of the day) who do u consider normal dragons????. who said natsu can beat dragons???? who said zeref has capable feats to take down dragons
You can create 6 tiers or 14 tiers to classify the FT characters (i.e tier 0 > tier 1 > tier 2, tier 3 & so on) & characters in 4th & 5th can still both be considered as mid-tier or high-tier depending on how you rank em.

Elder/Legendary Dragons are those that taught DS like Wendy her DS ability. Among these guys exist Igneel who is the Dragon Flame King (& he is at least Top-tier).
You're right, the semantics aren't important. Regardless, and to stay on topic, nerfed Zeref falls considerably from top tier.
Better feats are better feats. Natsu's FDKM doesn't instantly exhaust and has the power output to KO mid tier S12s lol. DF wouldn't be needed at this point.yo this guy said FDKM natsu>laxus even natsu fans such as @natsulucy @Axiomus @Daniel9dsi and @CaptainTorch doesn't believe it but somehow u believe that

by ur logic 1.future rogue should be god tier since he has dragon manipulation
lol since when???? lol her feats were counter by wendy and a bit of DS magic with erza (who busted her strongest attack) to take down her dragon form. ya she is very powerful might as well say that wendy is always god tier 
Mavis never improved Fairy Law.
ya cause he didnt get help from lucy and the guild to beat jacob
and couldnt oneshot ajeel with his base mode punch like laxus could have done if august didnt save him. go reread laxus vs wahl i think u miss important details of why laxus struggled if u want i can give the chapter number so u can start reading 
Only parent Dragon that was above the pack was Igneel. Irene has solid feats that put her above the parent Dragons, and she didn't get beaten by Wendy so your point is dumb. Any parent Dragon can be hurt by Wendy bcs of her DS magic that doesn't mean they can be beat by her. There's a sheer difference between hurt and defeat.by ur logic 1.future rogue should be god tier since he has dragon manipulation
irene>august and the parent dragons
atlas flames=motherglare the same dragon that HF natsu took down. but let me guess non top tier like laxus and gildartz are not on HF natsu level eiher right?
if she didnt then makarov and laxus would have been curse like her genius

go reread my post open ur eyes where did i say that irene was defeated??? parent dragons wouldnt have trouble no diff wendy and erza as much as irene did lol
