Discussion Fairy Tail Power Ranking Thread

Crazy seeing Wendy over Cobra now, overall she probably had along with Sting most natural glo up in the arc. Wonder what feats we'll get from Cobra.

1) Natsu. He simply has the best feats. Demolition Fist in Dragon Force allows him to erase Zeref's body. Zeref only survived because he was immortal, and only managed to piece himself back together because he had Fairy Heart. None of the other dragon slayers have Zeref's immortality or infinite magic, so none of them are really surviving Natsu's demolition fist. Even without Dragon Force, FDK mode has massive AOE and the ability to oneshot Spriggans. FDK mode alone puts Natsu on Laxus' level. Even in his base mode, Natsu could 2-hit an enchanted version of Neinhart.
2) Irene. The fact she can be shocked out of her dragon form by Wendy's dragon slaying magic works against her. Lots of people on this list can potentially match Wendy's dragon slaying magic and Erza's strength, though probably only Natsu and Laxus can overpower deus Sema. Otherwise Irene has top notch offensive power and physical strength. She has the ability to shatter everyone of her opponent's bones with a simple claw swipe.
3) Laxus. I'm going off the hype that he beat a Spriggan whilst handicapped, and that he might be able to oneshot a Spriggan. Otherwise, he's done the same thing as Gajeel - which is kill a Spriggan after a decent struggle.
4) Gajeel. Killed a Spriggan after a decent struggle. Unknown if he can use the black iron form out of his own accord, but if he can he should be right up there with Laxus.
5) Sting. Beat Larcade, who was portrayed to be slightly above the average Spriggan. That said, a lot of Larcade's hype was deflated when it turned out August was talking about himself. Nonetheless, he beat a Spriggan.
6) God Serena. Arguably the most overrated out of all the dragon slayers, and I admit I am guilty of overrating him in the past as well. God Serena is an average Spriggan. He hasn't beaten any other Spriggan level opponents, and he was oneshotted by Acnologia. If any of the dragon slayers survive more than 10s against a serious Acnologia, they would have surpassed God Serena. And they most likely will.
7) Wendy. Overpowered by Bluenote, but was pretty impressive in assisting against Irene.
8) Rogue. Beat a Historia of Bloodman. Not really that impressive. But better than nothing
9) Cobra. Showed nothing.

Irene wasn't knocked out of her Dragon form. She consciously went back into her human form to pick up the sword. You can't knock a person out of their real form.... Her human form is just a cover for her Dragon form. She was also nowhere near a KOed state as well and even told Erza she had a long way to go before she could actually beat her. Irene consciously has to go in and out of her Dragon form she can't just be knocked out of it.

But why would Irene go into her human form to pick up a sword? She could have simply stepped on Erza if she could remain in her dragon form. It would do more damage than picking up a sword. Does going human prevent the dragon slaying magic from working against her?

 

[Jko]

Without POF

1. Irene - one of the strongest characters in the verse, and achieved Dragonification, which only two Dragon Slayers in history has achieved.
2. Natsu - Don't see DF Natsu alone beating Irene. Probably will change in the coming chapters.
3. God Serena - S12 with 8 different DS powers. Can even harm Gild, and clash some of his attacks in a dead state that gives him only a fraction of his actual power.
4. Laxus - S12 caliber.
5. Sting - WSD boosted his stats and versatility.
6. Gajeel - Nothing to really say.
7. Wendy - A lot of great showings this arc. Probably surpass every DS but Natsu (as Natsu is a special DS) in the future.
8. Rogue - Really didn't do much but still has better feats than Cobra.
9. Cobra - Has no new feats at all, and is the DS with least progression.

A good amount of Plot force was at work here. She wanted to see Erza face when she killed which her smiled shocked her and led to her suiciding. (Human for was the only way that DS blade was going hit a lethal spot). I don't think human form changes the damage effect of DS magic. The battle was also already over too as Wendy and Erza had nothing left in the tank to give, and Irene hates her Dragon form so she probably went out of it because she saw no longer the need to be in it. She did only go Dragon form out of rage and to show Erza the difference in power between them.

Well, I'll have to take your word for it. But imo that just makes Irene vulnerable even when she's in her human form.

I think you downplay God serena alot. Surely the Dragon slayers will last more than Serena because of plot armour and a future power up that will allow them to keep up with Acnologia and eventually beat him.

God Serena should be the 4th dragon slayer in terms of power and Gajeel should be the 5th.

God Serena hasn't defeated any Spriggan level opponents. Everyone I put above him has.

 

[Doughboy]

@Axiomus no way in hell I'd put God Serena under Gajeel and Sting. Especially Sting, who had the clearest of day help and advantage when fighting Larcade. Laxus I can see over him but I wouldn't be the one to do it. Gajeel? No real advantage like Sting did but God Serena would beat him mid diff or less.

 

[Brandish μ]

1. Acno
2. Irene (a dragon)
3. Natsu (DF)
4. Laxus
5. Gajeel/God Serena
6. Sting
7. Rogue
8. Cobra
9. Wendy

I still don't know what this myth about Serena's 8 elements is all about. Only thing good about it is resistance...

 

[Star Frost]

Ooooo, we're rating DS now?

1. Acnologia
2. Natsu (I mean why not?)
3. Irene
4. God Serena
5. Laxus
6. Gajeel
7. Sting
8. Wendy
9. Rogue
10. Cobra

Gajeel is definetely under Serena. That guy only won Bloodman through stupid amounts of plot and a temporary MCB power up. He's not solid S12 tier from what I've seen.

Spoiler

It was drawn by Mashima years ago.

Natsu always on top

Laxus I can see over him but I wouldn't be the one to do it. Gajeel? No real advantage like Sting did but God Serena would beat him mid diff or less.

God Serena defeated featless character and that makes him weak, even Tartaros Demons can be rated higher than God Of Ishgars, Warrod himself admitted that he is indeed weak.. Silvers ice was too strong for Warrod abilities

but Downplaying God Serena because Acnologia One-shotted him is retarded because even August was not able to react....

I wouldn't call the Gods of Ishgar weak, certainly not weaker than the 9 Demon Gates. Warrod couldn't thaw out the giants from Silvers' ice, but that doesn't mean in a fight he wouldn't be able to break it. That fodder with a sword was able to cut through Silver's ice, so Warrod should be able to break the ice even if he couldn't melt it. God Serena isn't weak because he beat the Gods of Ishgar. He's a Spriggan, and I give him the credit of one. However, God Serena wasn't portrayed to be exceptional among the Spriggans and he's never beaten any Spriggan level opponents. If any of the dragon slayers manage to block or tank one of Acnologia's attacks next chapter without a power-up, then they would have done better than God Serena.

Gajeel is definetely under Serena. That guy only won Bloodman through stupid amounts of plot and a temporary MCB power up. He's not solid S12 tier from what I've seen.

The particles just made it possible for Gajeel to touch Bloodman's intangible body. It ate away at ethernano, so it was unlikely to give him a boost in magic power.

Laxus I can see over him but I wouldn't be the one to do it. Gajeel? No real advantage like Sting did but God Serena would beat him mid diff or less.

Sting had pretty much the same advantage Gray had over Invel, and his elemental advantage doesn't come into play against stuff like pleasure, hunger, or RIP. Sting received a power-up from Rogue, and Kagura helped him learn how to use his new powers. However unless you want to restrict WSD altogether, then Sting's WSD Silk outclasses any of God Serena's attacks. I can't see why God Serena would beat Gajeel mid diff. Gajeel was actually keeping up with Bloodman, tanking most of his attack and even breaking out of Bloodman's over skelter. Gajeel was at a major disadvantage due to Bloodman's intangibility, and eating the particles allowed him to actually land hits on Bloodman. Against any Spriggan that is not intangible to begin with, Gajeel wouldn't have that problem.

even August was not able to block Acnologia attack...so this means Dragon Slayers---->August

 

[Axiomus]

If they manage to block or dodge Acnologia's blitz, then yeah they would have better reaction time than August.

 

[**Silver**]

yeah and August was stated to be the strongest Spriggan and yet Bloodman and Larcade is stronger than August

Sting Blocks---->Acnologia Claw
Larcade was fighting Par against Sting so this means Larcade--->August
