[Ebony Maw]

Before I end this rate officially, I just want to thank everyone who took part in it.

Thank you to everyone who voted, and even to those who didn't, the discussion in this thread has been incredibly interesting and outright entertaining.

Big thanks to my fellow hosts @BluePegasus, @Emperor Spriggan and @Gryffindor, you guys really upped your game in this rating and it wouldn't have been possible without you. The same goes to @Brandish @DiMaria Yesta @Crescent_jinxgrace @Takuan @~Charging Lightning~ and @Belserion, you all did fantastic posts!

And in general I want to thank the mods for making this run so smoothly, I know for a fact that this thread easily could have turned to chaos without their intervention. In particular I want to thank @Brandish for sticky-ing the thread, this thread wouldn't have been anywhere near as active if it wasn't for you.

I hope everyone enjoyed that the rate, as now....

This poster was made by @Valhalla777, big thanks to him!

THE EARTH LAND MAGES RATE IS OFFICIALLY OVER!​

 

[Zelefomavis]

Erza vs Ajeel is confusing,because of Marin and Bisca.
But Gray isnt any better,he only beat Invel due to pof thanks to Juvia "dying".

And Erza's last feat is quite impressive,she knocked down acnologia,which imo i don't think gray is able to do

Erza knocking down acnologia and her fight with irene should not even be counted because that was PIS of another dimension. and gray did fought partial END and was not beaten, that was pretty impressive.

 

[Reebi]

Gray should be 10
Natsu should be 2
Irene should be 1

The rest are a toss up.

 

[Berty]

Erza knocking down acnologia and her fight with irene should not even be counted because that was PIS of another dimension. and gray did fought partial END and was not beaten, that was pretty impressive.

While I agree that PIS and POF were incredibly ridiculous in that fight, feats are still feats. I mean if we don't count POF then Laxus, Gray, Natsu and Erza wouldn't be anywhere close to spriggan level.

 

[Seven777]

God Serena should be next, no way he's on the level of characters who've made mince meat of his fellow spriggans. Top tier FT are a cut above ordinary spriggans.

 

[Anti Hero 3:16]

Laxus was going to oneshot ajeel if not for august's barrier and laxus was able to survive wahl's attacks in half dead state, natsu or partial END caused dimaria to have deep trauma and gray in his des mode did fought invel evenly, so not all the fights were PIS, some of them were legitimate indeed.

 

[CaptainTorch]

Yeah because everyone can counter Dimaria time magic.

What story are you reading?

Btw, Zeref let Natsu hit him with that attack.

--- Double Post Merged, Aug 26, 2017, Original Post Date: Aug 26, 2017 ---

Neinhart is more impressive than a guy who can eat 99.99999% of the spells written in this story and physically stronger than the main cast.

Aight.

--- Double Post Merged, Aug 26, 2017 ---

Mard Geer demolished CSK in base. lol what.

Thankfully this is not about who would win in a fight, but who is stronger. So while Dimaria's time stop is the most haxed magic in the verse and only a few people can do it, without it she is not that strong. And I tend to rank haxed people by their "overall power", not simply "who has better hax".
Also, yes Zeref did let Natsu hit him. And? Doesn't change the fact that his body got completely vaporized. Obviously, Zeref managed to revert "time and space" so he wasn't affected in the end, thanks to his hax. but the fact that this attack vaporized FH Zeref's body doesn't change. What story are you reading?

 

[Zelefomavis]

I agree about the Laxus and Natsu part,but Des Gray did not fight evenly with Invel. He surprised him with DeS,landing 1 attack, but after Invel was aware of it, at his next DeS attack,Invel no sold his sword, transforming it into snow while invoking his blizzard.
Thats why i put Gray at 10,because his fight went from Invel mid diffing him, to Gray no diffing him with his fist. And it does not make sense


Also while l was re reading Gray's fight, I came across Ajeel vs Strauss, and Lisanna and Elfman were on their knees while Ajeel had no bruise and said "pfff weak"
Do someone know how they managed to off panel him or ?

 

[Seven777]

You could say the exact same thing about Invel's initial skirmish with Base Gray. Invel surprised Gray with his quick Ice Blasts, then Gray got up and no sold them with Ice Make Shield.
Oh and Invel called Gray spriggan tier after he revealed his DeS magic, which means at that point he was at least on par with Invel.

 

[Berty]

The fact that Laxus survived those nukes half dead is POF itself. So was red lighting. Sheer asspull.

 

[Ace]

God Serena should be next, no way he's on the level of characters who've made mince meat of his fellow spriggans. Top tier FT are a cut above ordinary spriggans.

Nah, God serena is just one of those chars that really was not going to be legit beaten by anyone, He wasnt called the strongest mage for nothing. At full powers he was able to take down the 4 wizard saints with ease. Its a real shame he just came back as a historia and not full power since at full power he is as strong as gildarts. He just go insta killed because he really meant nothing to the story. And everyone else not named natsu, irene,august and Zeref would not survive. God Serena is prob number 6 or 5 right above laxus.

Doesn't change the fact that his body got completely vaporized

His body can't vaporize, he is immortal. That attack didn't vaporize Zeref's real body (which made from meat). He absorb FH - magic itself. Zeref just made his body "ether". I mean Zeref become magic logia itself. Natsu didn't destroy his body, he just Dispersed "magic cloud".
The same attack didn't destroy even Jacob's body...

God Serena also wasnt said to be on par with the likes on Neinhart for nothing. Sad to say it, but the GoI were fodder. True to Warrod's words, the title of wizard saint means nothing.
Gildarts had always wondered who was really the stronger of the two, but that was because of God Serena's reputation. Gildarts never met God Serena while he was alive.

Laxus is easily above God Serena for being able to oneshot characters like Ajeel and Wahl, while God Serena couldnt even oneshot the likes of Warrod. Gildarts too is also well above him, if he can blitz and cube a wizard of August's caliber, then doing it to God Serena would be childs play. At best God Serena puts up as much of a fight as Bluenote did.

The same attack didn't destroy even Jacob's body...

If his body would be "magic logia" then later in the fight natsu wouldn't be able to hit Zeref.
And the attack that hit Jacob was just his FDK Demolition Fist. The one he used against Zeref was enhanced by his DF, a.k.a 2-3 times stronger than normal.

So you actually said attack which was used on Jacobs with 2-3 enhance can vaporize immortal body with infinite magic?
I understood right, Zeref with FH is some Jacob's lvl, maybe 2 times stronger? Well...

Logia is not untouchable. Natsu used his BS power from emotions, so aka 覇気 from OP (sorry, don't know how it is called in english)

Well I do agree Gildarts may be stronger but I don't really think just because Laxus was able to one shot a spriggan means that God Serena Could not do the same. Im also trying to analyze who would win between them. But honestly looking at how Gildarts did not stand a chance against august I really trying to predict if he would win against those hight tier spriggan. Dimaria Time stop is deadly and makes her practically incincible. Irene being able to echant and turn herself to a dragon and Finally God serena who has 8 dragon lacrimas. I honestly do not feel so impressed that Laxus was able one shot one of the weakest if not the weakest spriggan. God Serena probably has lighting element in his magic since not all of his lacrima powers was revealed. I agree that Gildarts and God serena would be a close battle and Gildarts could probably win. But as for Laxus I dont think hes that hight.

Laxus never one-shotted Wahl is not immune to physical attacks, Wahl tanked Laxus melee attacks and besides Red Lighting is Laxus strongest attack....Wahl is not same tier with freaking Ajeel

Red Lightning=Savage Emotions=POF

But as for Laxus I dont think hes that hight.

I'd have to disagree, Laxus isnt only at that level, he's well beyond it. He outclasses God Serena in pretty much every aspect.
Offense: God Serena's offense wasnt even at a level that could oneshot a weakling like Warrod, oneshotting someone like Ajeel seems well beyond his capabilities.
Defense: Laxus was able to tank a bunch of Wahl's attacks while dying of MBPs, much more impressive than God Serena tanking the GoI attacks.
Speed: Blitzing Wahl>Whatever speed feats God Serena has.
Everything about Laxus is superior to God Serena, and not by a little bit, by a lot.

I agree that August and Eileen are beyond either Laxus or Gildarts, but God Serena is an insect compared to them so it doesnt matter.
Dimaria's timestop is hard to gauge, END walked through it, and Dimaria attributed that to him being stronger than Chronos. So for me, anyone capable of beating Chronos in a head on fight would be able to walk through Age Seal too, Gildarts and Laxus fall into that category imo.

Anyway, like you i used to think God Serena was one of the stronger spriggans, but now i've come to realize that all spriggans are pretty much the same. That includes fodder like Ajeel and Neinhart. Only August and Eileen stand above, the rest are more or less on the same tier(though some have OP hax).

Red Lightning=Savage Emotions=POF

Whal absorbs Lightning, every time Laxus hit Wahl he gave him energy, more than enough compensation for any physical damage.
Red Lightning was the only attack that would work, and it obliterated him, a lesser attack prob wouldve done the job if it wasnt for lightning immunity

And the strongest Ice Mage of the rating is:
#10

Gray FullBuster
Score:9.950
Highest score:11.5 x 3 (@Crescent_jinxgrace, @XXEliteXXAceXX @Star Frost)
Lowest score: 8 x 1 (@Cosmicstar )
My score: 9/12

Damn it, I wanted to see him above Erza at least But oh well, I suppose I should be happy he made it into the top 10 of this rating, and is confirmed to be the strongest Ice Wizard in Earthland So anyway, in regards to Gray, I think popular opinion has him as the most well written character out of the main character group. This isn't just limited to his character of course, I think it's also not a stretch to say that he DEFINITELY gets the best fights out of all the main cast (prior to Alvarez anyway), something that is boosted more by the fact that he is versatile in his magic and fighting style. He uses his wits and smarts everytime he's in a fight, which more often than not helps him overcome opponents who would naturally be stronger than him.

Best Spell
Ice Make:Rampart

An odd choice for a spell, I know, but I decided not to use one of his classical spells like Lance, as I have a soft spot for this one. He only ever used it once in the series (?), which makes it more savor worthy. Gray creates an extremely massive and high wall out of ice, which can stop his opponents in their tracks, but uses up a lot of Magic. The first time Gray used this was to stop Racer.

Ice-Make:Silver

By far my favorite move of Gray with the Curse Mark, I know he has others like the bow and sword, but the sheer simplicity of this one is enough for me to list it among my favorites. Personal headcanon is that this is the same technique Silver used to freeze Sun Village, Gray just used it on a smaller scale since there was only one opponent.
Basically, summoning his Ice Devil Slayer Magic, Gray boosts the power of his Ice-Make. Gesturing with his right hand, he is then able to freeze a humongous area in front of him. This Spell allowed him to easily freeze and destroy Ajeel Ramal's Sand Golem.

Worst spell
Iced Shell

Oh put down your pitchforks Gray fandom, you know damn well as I do that this spell isn't as cool as it once used to be. I don't care if Mashima thinks adding the word 'Lost' before it makes it somewhat different, no, it doesn't make it better. It's basically a rehash of the same old spell we've seen in the series in almost off of Gray's fights minus Ultear, Rufus and Invel. Iced Shell is my favorite spell in the entire series, but it reached a point in the series I was expecting Gray to use it against Acnologia
Since I already explained about Iced Shell in Lyon's section, I'll touch on the Lost version in this post.
This spell functions identically to Iced Shell, but with the caveat that is the "Lost Attribute". Compared to the original Iced Shell, Lost Iced Shell has the added drawback of completely erasing the caster's existence from the memories of all who know him, but in exchange for this, its power is several hundred times greater. Like Iced Shell, however, the imprisonment is only temporary, as the ice can melt.

Best Battle
Gray vs Silver

Not really any surprise regarding this being Gray's battle, it's a toss up between this one and Ultear's for me, but personally I don't like the conclusion of the Ultear battle (The sea stuff didn't hit home with me), so I chose this one. Brilliant battle with revealing Silver eats ice, Gray needing to use the same strategy he used in Sun Village against Doriate, and even the ending with the cannon ball (Chevkov's Gun), this was a really, really well done battle. The aftermath with silver memories was just the right emotion to top it with, but of course there was also Gray receiving his father's abilities.

Worst Battle
Gray vs Rufus

Not even a contest, I'm pretty sure this is one of those fights everyone would be happy to forget Where to begin? "Sometimes feelings surpass calculations." R-E-A-L-L-Y Mavis?
Not to mention Rufus literally spent 80% of the fight untouched, and with Gray on the ropes by using his own plethora of memory make spells, and once Gray finally closed the distance, he got one shotted? Literally WTF Mashima There's asspull, and then there's Gray vs Rufus. Definitely his worst fight in the series.

Best Moment
Becoming a Devil Slayer

Easily my favorite power up in the entire series (and by extension my favorite Slayer Magic type), seeing Silver pass on this power to his son is one of my best Tartaros moments. What I really love about Gray getting this magic is the fact that he gets a kickass new design in Avatar (The best part of the arc was his plotline,hands down), plus the newer spells like Long Bow and Sword Of course, this didn't come easy. Invel later on reveals that learning Devil Slayer Magic corrupts the user's heart, which is why Gray was the ultimate warrior to fight E.N.D. He has become proficient enough in this Magic to be able to encase an enemy in a spiked cocoon of ice, roll him across a field of enemies and manipulate it into an immense burst of ice in a matter of seconds.

Absorbing Memento Mori

In the midst of probably the best team battle in the series (Or one of the best, depending on how you want to take it), Mard Geer used Memento Mori, his ultimate spell to finish off both Natsu and Gray. Of course, it didn't exactly finish them off (I'm pretty sure no one expected this anyway), but we had Gray absorbing the whole spell, and even partially demonizing. Honestly, this was just plain out badass. The art work just makes it more appealing My personal headcanon is that Gray exhausted all of Silver's power here, and whatever DeS he uses from this point on is from his own pool of magic. In a way, I suppose you can compare it to a Slayer getting a second element for the first time, versus subsequent uses of the element.

Worst moment
Fighting Natsu (E.N.D)

Cancer, cancer, outright cancer right here Jesus Christ, this was probably the stupidest fight in the entire Alvarez Arc, I'd even say the Spriggan fights had better standings than this. If you think about it, what was the motivation for this fight? Even if you say that Gray did make a promise to his father to destroy E.N.D, won't there be some hesitation when you learn its your best friend? He came from telling Invel that he'd do anything for his family, even become a villain, so what the fuck does he think he's doing fighting his best friend CHAPTERS later? People give Erza crap for stopping this fight, but quite frankly, that might have been the best moment of this battle, the ending.

Best Relationship
Gray and Juvia

This ship had a....odd beginning. With Juvia stalking Gray everywhere he went (Prior to her becoming a Fairy Tail Mage), I'm sure that's part of the cause for the criticisms against the ship, but personally in my opinion, all that was meant for comic relief. Which is why I wasn't big on the ship in the beginning. I think the moment where it got serious was from the Grand Magic Games, with Erza asking Gray to give Juvia an answer. Tartaros though Damn, this was the arc for these two. Juvia was the one who killed Gray's father (albeit indirectly), and she was even willing to give up her love for him, if that isn't deep then Idk what is. These two are willing to kill themselves for each other, I don't think it gets any better than that.
