Discussion Fairy Tail Power Ranking Thread

[reesestl]

Didnt know that jura was that powerful...

This is Weekly Sorcercers ranking and reflects general opinion in FTverse in the beginning of GMG, rather than correct estimates. For instance, look at the stats of Sabertooth and MH members. All of them are very high. Ichiya's ranking is too low. All these and many must have been reversed as the games proceeded.

 

[Asorx]

Same counts for Natsu.

On Natsu ? He always fight in Avatar Arc and vs Zeref and now.

 

[Stormsfury]

Stop understimate Lucy. We don't know how she is strong in this arc so stop call she is week.

If Lucy somehow grew strong enough to defeat a Spriggan over the time-skip despite the fact that she has done barely any training then I will laugh my ass off.

Not to butt in but i think the reference here involves the CSK destroying Plutogrim and that is her power technically, i would consider that a temporary power however and i would not factor it too highly into her power level but that's just me. As far as power levels go as much as they are fun to discuss it is probably best for everyone to just do there own way of scaling as i highly doubt even Mashima could make a list that would hold up with what he has wrote throughout the series.

If Lucy's power=CSK's power than Lucy is top tier in the verse......... the facts are that this is not the case, their powers are not equal. He feeds off her power to stay present in the world just like any other spirit, but their powers do not equal each others sooooo...........

Under Lucy's power CSK isn't all that strong. Base Mard Geer was equal with him in that state.

 

[Summer]

Actually you guys are seriously wrong..... mard geer was technically lose against csk....

Actually csk could just defeat mard since the start but he is too busy chit chat whatsoever....must be for the plot .

I think that if mard geer is hit by meteor blade he would be done . Csk should turn him into stone first and destroy him....

But yeah of course as always it is always natsu jobs go defeat the boss while Lucy actually could do that .
And in the end csk actually already did defeat mard by turning him into stone.

P's.gildart never done anything but still consider strong so I don't think that Lucy never shown anything means that she is weak .

Beside that we don't know that if csk had any other form or not.....

 

[THE ALMIGHTY CRYBABY]

In my opinion, I would rank the characters in this Arc like that, after what I saw:

Tier 1:
Acnologia

Tier 2:
E.N.D ( only hype / designed to kill Zeref)
Zeref
Natsu in DFKM ( I believe he would not have killed Zeref in that fight)

Tier 3:
Gildarts (only hype / I think he will fight August but we have to w8)
August ( according to Makarov)

Tier 4:
Invel ( only hype / right hand of Zeref)
Jacob ( maybe, we will see his powers in the next chapters / he wanted to attack Acno, after God Serena was one shotted by him)
God Serena ( probably dead)
Ninehart (only if he fights Jellal, Erza and Kagura together !)

Tier 5:
Laxus ( maybe even one Tier higher because of his red lightnings)
Jellal ( perhaps stronger than Laxus, hard to tell)
Natsu ( because of Dragon Force! / it is a huge power boost)
Gray ( Demon Force)
Gajeel ( hs probably DF too)
Dimaria
Wahl Lcht
Ajeel
Brandish ( didn' t rly show much)

Tier 6:
Erza
Hyberion
Wolfheim
Warrod ( he said once, he isn't that strong, so it is hard to tell if he was honest or just modest)
Jura
Kagura
Minerva
Mira
Sting
Rogue

Tier 7 :
The rest

What do you mean guys and girls ?

Overall, a sensible list!!
Just a couple of things.
Laxus in tier 4: Duh!! Even w/o Red Lightning.
Mirajane in 5, at least. She has her new TO Seilah, who had a self-limiter released form which was really strong.
Erza: I sadly agree with you, hopefully I am proven wrong during the leftover arc.
4 GOI: can't be helped! they are side characters used as punching bags for making MCs look better.
CSK in his own mettle in Tier 3.

 

[THE ALMIGHTY CRYBABY]

I re-watched the manga and I agree, Mira should be higher on my list ( I totally forgot her new take-over XD).
But it's still hard to compare her with other characters in this arc, because she fought only weak opponents at the moment.
When she fights a spriggean, we will definitely see her true strength.
CSK is probably one of the strongest ft characters( on his own in Tier 3 or maybe even higher) , but his problem is, that his strength depends on the CSM who summons him (in this case here Lucy). Mard Geer claimed this in his battle with CSK!
I also doubt that Lucy will summon CSK again because she doesn't want to pay the prize for his summon! Perhaps she will unlock a CSK-Dress ( that would be cool )
B.t.w Erza will probably receive a new weapon or armor in this or in a future arc in order to close the gap in power between her and Gray, Gajeel and Natsu
( For instance: Gray also became in Tataros Arc rly strong when he was inferior to the others)
The Performance of the GoI wasn' t rly good in this arc, but only because they had to fight Serena who just was obviously too op for them, but you are right. It cannot be helped, they are not mc .

 

[Static]

My list :

Tier 1 : Acnologia (dude is the single strongest character in the entire series, unless Ankhseram makes an entrance)

Tier 2 : Zeref, Etherious Natsu (could be higher like 1.5 or maybe on the level of Acnologia due to insane hype but we don't know much since its only said he can kill Zeref)

Tier 2.5 : BDKM Natsu

Tier 3 : August, Neinhart, Bloodman, Gildarts (all three Shields seem to be powerful due to hype though August is probably stronger than those two)

Tier 4 : Invel, Jacob, God Serena

Tier 5 : Laxus, Natsu, Jellal, Mirajane, Gray, Gajeel, perhaps Erza, Ajeel, Wahl, Brandish, DiMaria, Hyberion, Wolfheim (before anyone says the GoI aren't strong, they are powerful its just that they went against an opponent who was OP for them)

Tier 6 : Jura, Warrod, Minerva, Sting, Rogue, maybe Lucy in Star Dress and maybe some of the CS members

Tier 7 : Everyone else

 

[BluePegasus]

Tier 4 : Invel, Jacob, God Serena

Tier 5 : Laxus, Natsu, Jellal, Mirajane, Gray, Gajeel, perhaps Erza, Ajeel, Wahl, Brandish, DiMaria, Hyberion, Wolfheim (before anyone says the GoI aren't strong, they are powerful its just that they went against an opponent who was OP for them)

Why is Jacob stronger than Di Maria? Di Maria's magic is more hax than his plus her feats are better.

 

[THE ALMIGHTY CRYBABY]

Why is Jacob stronger than Di Maria? Di Maria's magic is more hax than his plus her feats are better.

We didn't see much of Jacob, so most of it's hype until the manga progresses. His hype is based on the fact that he wanted to attack acnologia although Serena was one-shooted by him. So we can assume that Jacob thinks that he is more powerful than Serena and in addition he was in the 3 man team which conquered a whole country.
I also think the ranking is about Mp, physical strength, speed, intelligence ... and so on but how hax some magic is, is not taken into consideration that much!!!

Or do you think Dimaria would stand a chance against acno or zeref although her magic is pretty unfair ?

 

[reesestl]

I really hope to see a stronger Jellal in this arc. I have a feeling same old Grand chariot and Cema won't work this time. Plus if he was really serious about killing Zeref, he needed to get a lot stronger.

 

[Firepower]

Erza was talking about their current standings or why would have she brought it up. Most of the time, scratch that, all the time their fights are gag fights. And yes I do believe her, why would she lie?

Erza was serious, she jumped straight the the armor that would give her the best chance against Laxus. Did you even read what you write, Mystogan's acknowledgment means nothing here, Laxus didn't acknowledge Erza on his and Mystogan's level so he didn't take her serious, Mystogan's acknowledgment means nothing but it wasn't Mytsognam fighting Erza. And Erza didn't get hit by Laxus huh?
http://www.mangapanda.com/fairy-tail/121/13

She was hit in her short skirmish and immediately resorted to the Thunder Empress armor. While your points are irrelevant because Laxus would of punked Erza if the fight had went on.

No you're proving mine, Bacchus most likely fought BoS Erza who was about the same level as Natsu BoS who would literally get beaten by Max currently only proving my point Erza back then is shit tier now. This all ends up making Bacchus look not impressive because her fought Erza back then, while yes Erza did pass up Bacchus when she came back, Bacchus had poor showings and lost to Elfman you're the one thinking just because Bacchus fought BoS Erza he can keep up with er currently especially when Erza's growth rate is massive.



Again all of the dirbble is irrelevant, how does that prove Bacchus kept up with Erza when the whole basis of the arc was tha the FT team surpassed everyone who had 7 years on them, those feats makes Bacchus look good but not better than the Twin Dragons, Natsu, Gajeel and Gray like you proclaim.


Bacchus couldn't even fully break Elfman's defense, he lacked to offensive power to drop Elfman who was literally standing there taking all of his blows. I have mad up NOTHING AT ALL, i said Bacchus lost to Elfman which is a fact, nor did I say he was weak, you're claiming that Bacchus is as strong as Natsu and co which is what I disagree with you have proved nothing to imply so and you simply cling on to the fact he fought Erza awhile back which is irrelevant now.

I saw what you wrote and it made no sense, you barely even brought up Bacchus himself.

Been out for some time. Mystogan and Laxus both acknowledged each other's strength. From the way the story went it seems as if they were evenly matched. So why would Mystogan emphasizing Erza's ability to fight him mean nothing? Yet Erza praising Natsu to be as strong as her even though she has whopped him every time they fought in the past. Most of the time Erza is fighting someone else while Natsu loses to big bosses until df is activated.

You say Max got strong during the 7 year skip. What do you think everyone has done also in the seven years? If no one else got stronger, then Max would be the new king and dominate the gmg. He did not, meaning everyone got stronger. Ft was last place in the gmg because everyone got stronger too. Bacchus could not break Elfman's lizard armor. Who do you think could smash it with their bare hands? Therefore it was a bad matchup. Against anyone with skin and bone they'd be beaten by Bacchus. Physical fighting skills is what makes him dangerous. No one matches him there. Plus his moves are unreadable when he's drunk. As I've mentioned before, watch anime episode 161 and 162. Erza is shocked by his strength. Gray and Mira were shocked by his abilities also. His speed is dangerous, plus martial arts that make him practically untouchable. All s class mages were always stronger than the five original ds. But from what we've seen after the second time skip, Natsu seems to be at least at Erza's level now. Erza had a Jupiter assist. Natsu had Makarov assist. Both had the power to defeat their enemies. Natsu might not have needed an assist, but because he didn't want to destroy the guild or town, he held back. So in this current arc Natsu might already be stronger than Erza, magic wise. Physical strength goes to Erza. The only one I can imagine being physically stronger than her would be Laxus. But something tells me Erza is the strongest in physical strength alone.

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 28, 2016, Original Post Date: Mar 28, 2016 ---

I don't know if Makarov belongs in the top ranking. He was talking about how the spriggan are so strong that Serena, the strongest Ishgar Mage, was just another one of the twelve. Meaning that Makarov should be weaker than any spriggan. He might not have known his members strength after the time skip, but he knew his own abilities, and was gonna give his life up to Ajeel. Maybe the punch he gave Jacob was only capable of sending him flying, but not able to beat Jacob on his own. Or has Makarov been underestimating himself all this time? Doubt it. Might have been just to show that is capable of hurting a spriggan.

 

[Azurwrath]

Heya ! I'm going to write my ranking too here

Tier 1 - God tier - Final boss :
Acnologia, Zeref with Fairy heart.

Tier 2 - Top Manga Tier :
Zeref, Natsu BDKM, E.N.D. Natsu DF (pure guessing since we haven't any feat of his new DF).

Tier 3 - Very high tier :
August, Gildartz, Invel ?

Tier 4 - High tier/Spriggan's level ? :
Serena, other Spriggans, Laxus, Jellal (guessing).

Tier 5 :
3 GOI, Jura, Makarov, Base Natsu (Base Natsu for me = Form when he defeated God of War and Bluenote).

Tier 6 (In my opinion very close to Tier 5s power level but still slightly behind) :
Erza, Gajeel, Gray (I believe that Gray will be very powerful and in my opinion he will probably be in like tier
3 or 4 since he has to fight END.), Third origin Cheila.

Tier 7 :
Stingue, Rogue, Minerva, Elfman, Freed, Lucy, Kagura, Lyon, Mira, other people I surely forgot.

This is by far the best ranking I have seen. I will change very few things if I was ranking.
Just maybe rank the spriggans more finely. For instance, are you putting Dimaria in Tier 4 or 6.
I will put Jacob in Tier 5.
Elman, Freed in tier 8
Mira in tier 6. Why is Mira in tier 7?

Why do you put TO Chelia at tier 6 and not tier 4? She defeated a Spriggan while Jura, who is at tier 5, was pretty much owned by a Spriggan.

TO Chelia >>> Jura

TO Chelia is more or less equal with Laxus, because both of them defeated a Spriggan with the same diff.

Also, Mira would one shot Gajeel.

 

[Ichibei]

How do you know? We havent seen much of them since the timeskip

 

[reesestl]

Also, Mira would one shot Gajeel.

you really think Mira can one-shot Gajeel? sounds very unlikely. Gajeel is strong. I mean is there a catch in power i'm missing?

 

[SirSamuel016]

My view of the Spriggans' power has changed a bit given the recent chapter, so here's how I currently see the Spriggans:

Spoiler: Spriggan 12 Power Rankings

Spriggan 12 Power Rankings thus far:
Top Tier:
1. August
High Tier:
2. Invel
3. God Serena
Mid-High Tier:
4. Wahl
5. Bradman
Mid Tier:
6. Dimaria
7. Brandish
8. Neinhart
Low Tier:
9. Ajeel
10. Jacob

Jacob was really disappointing as a Spriggan and its a bit sad to think that he only lasted that long due to his magic which is a bit hax-y and Natsu was holding back. I mean, the guy got sent flying by Makarov but he didn't take too much damage from that attack from the looks of it, but Natsu delivered a huge blow to take him out. By no means does this mean Jacob is necessarily weak, but in terms of his actual battling power once his stealth magic is beaten, he goes down fairly easily.

I've still got Natsu at the top of my list of power rankings protagonist wise after 479 too, he demonstrated he is still incredibly powerful and essentially one-shotted Jacob as other attacks dealt to Jacob previously did next to nothing, so Natsu is definitely top-tier among the protags for me, and if I was to compare him to the Spriggan tier, I'd put him in the mid-high or high tier for power rankings in comparing him to the Spriggans.
