Discussion Fairy Tail Power Ranking Thread

[The President]

Erza is a solid > Mirajane. Erza has a better trump card (Nagakami > Alegria) and better base for base (armor for takeovers). Also whats this about Heine and Juliet or Mira being able to solo the OS? Heine and Juliet wouldn't even be able to solo Pre-TS OS. Current OS are collectively likely a decent bit stronger then Mirajane. Also, Ajeel isn't a fair bit below Bradman, Invel or even Serena. In fact, I'd put his efficiency above Invels and Bradmans. Serena is debatable solely due to Gildarts still being an active player to carry Serenas hype, definitely not far inferior though.

Also, to be fair to Gajeel he wasn't using ISD. That would have closed the gap a fair bit. Maybe even completely.

Also, Acnologia definitely did not one-shot Igneel. And the notion that Acno can insta one-shot Irene sounds a little bit ridiculous to me. He undoubtably defeats her with relative ease, but not in the same manner as he defeated Serena. I'd peg it at a Easy-Mid Diff fight (not accounting for DF).

Also, Angel is well below the other OS members. Racer was trashing Gray. Cobra was trashing Natsu. Midnight is capable of trashing both of them at the same time. Hoteye was fairing well against Jura (even if he is a hard counter, its still worth noting). Angel wasn't that much superior to Lucy, who even then was well below all of the above.

So... enough time for 2 people to run a fair distance at separate times.

Yeah, if Jellal stands there bragging about how his opponent won't be useful for his operations and how they are going to get destroyed.

Remotely close? No, the bow didnt even knock out Racer, while Sema took out the lot of them, though im certain i dont think the difference is a big as you do. Or alternatively we go for the argument that says Sema>Ice Bow yet was still at full power, since a) Sema knocked Racer out, Ice Bow didnt. b) Sema hit multiple opponents, Ice Bow didnt c) Killing people is harder than knocking them out, and d) even after Racer suicide bombed Lyon he was still alive, so is suicide bombing yourself + getting hit by an Ice Bow equivalent to Sema? Yeah, maybe.

That logic doesn't work for the simple fact that Sema is an AoE spell. It has consistent damage across its AoE which encompassed all the OS. It wasn't a projectile that hit the OS one-by-one getting weaker after each hit. And btw the bow did take Racer out. He came back while the crew was resting with his kamikaze. And Lyon saved Racer btw, none were hit with the full brunt of the attack. Also, even using that logic you'd have to include the beating that Sawyer took from Jellal Pre-GC and Sema as well as GC.

Oh, and on the subject of Laxus' punches vs Wahl, Wahl exlained that his immunity to lightning came from his ability to convert it into his own strength, so while Wahl may have been taking damage from the physical side of Laxus' punches, he was absorbing the lightning side and getting even stronger, it probably evened out in the end depending on whether or not Laxus puts equal physical and magical power into his punches

Laxus increases the power behind his punches with lightning. He isn't insane to do the same thing over and over again after being told it has no effect, that fact alone means that there was some benefit to enhancing his strength with lightning, not even accounting for how that shit works. And even then, Laxus enhancing his punches with lightning is no different then Natsu enhancing his with fire or Gray enhancing his with ice (ice gauntlets) but both of those are fully capable of doing damage to a Spriggan without doing it and Laxus is at the bare minimum as physically strong as them, if not stronger.

I understand what you're saying but I respectfully disagree. Logically, if Acnologia beats Eileen with Low-Medium Difficulty then he would defeat August + Eileen with Medium-High Difficulty (because August is on the same level was Eileen). And if we were to include Zeref, then Acnologia would be forced into an Extreme Difficulty fight... Add in all the other Spriggans plus the whole Alvarez Empire, and they should win.

But we know this is not the case. It should be clear that if Acnologia was serious, he would one-shot Eileen the same way God Serena was one-shotted. The Black Dragon of the Apocalypse is truly on a whole different tier compared to everyone else.

To be fair, Monty was talking about Human Acnologia, not Dragon Acnologia, who should be considerably stronger (at least, I think that's what he meant by "not accounting for DF")

 

[XXEliteXXAceXX]

I'm talking about Human Acnologia too. Sorry, for the confusion. When I was saying "Black Dragon of the Apocalypse", I was just referring to his title.

One thing I've noticed lately is that people are hyping Eileen and August to be on some god-tier level. Let me emphasize that they can't even beat Zeref together (who is massively inferior to Acnologia). So there is absolutely no way Eileen can give Acnologia any difficulty in a real fight. Had she been a dragon slayer, she would've shared the same fate as God Serena.

The bragging wasnt a factor in the charge time, he was focused on the spell, all he said was fall into darkness while looking up at his hands, Erza was already in front of Natsu by then and even if it was a factor, Simon could still beat Altaris' cast time even when it was mostly completed, like i said any non injured wizard could run up and punch Jellal in the face with ease.

Logically the further you are from the point of impact the less damage you will take, since Sema had to hit everyone and not just one person then logically it would do less damage, getting hit on the head by the actual meteor is probably where the real damage is at.
Better than being out cold like he was after Sema.
Lyon didnt save Racer, why would he risk his life for the guy who just tried to kill him? He's more than willing to kill. You got a panel showing Lyon do that?
Yep, beating Racer took+Grand Chariot and Sema<<Suicide bombing yourself, he didnt expect to come back from that attack.

I'm not saying the lightning didnt enhance his strength, just saying that the fact Wahl absorbs lightning makes it pointless anyway.

I doubt this.
While I do agree on the notion of Acnologia defeating Irene,I doubt it would be as easy as it was with God Serena.
Irene is a solid tier above God Serena (with her being a high tier S12 and God Serena being a mid-high tier)...in my opinion,the reason we were shown Irene dodging one of Acnologia's attacks and God Serena being downed by a single attack was to show the difference between Irene and the other Spriggan 12 members.
Acnologia no diffed God Serena.
In a fight with Irene,I'd say he low diffs her.

Yeah, I see what you're getting at. I agree that Eileen is a tier above God Serena. But Acnologia is the strongest character in the series. A tier difference is negligible here mainly because even Zeref can't beat him. And Eileen is not even half of Zeref's overall power. I still believe Acnologia can take on Eileen with No Difficulty.

Keep in mind that the whole Alvarez Empire can't win against Acnologia. Zeref needs Fairy Heart to have a chance. I honestly think Eileen is overrated here but we'll see soon enough. Due to the inconsistency in Spriggan hype, I wouldn't be surprised if Eileen turns out to be somewhat of a disappointment.

Also, Ajeel isn't a fair bit below Bradman, Invel or even Serena. In fact, I'd put his efficiency above Invels and Bradmans. Serena is debatable solely due to Gildarts still being an active player to carry Serenas hype, definitely not far inferior though.

My bad, when I said that Ajeel would be a fair bit below Bradman/Goddy/Invel I kinda just grouped him in with Jacob. That said, I do feel he is inferior to the trio, just not as inferior as Jacob is.

As far as efficiency goes I'm not sure if I would put Ajeel above the trio, mainly because Bradman doesn't need efficiency to kill regular mages, Invel can insta-freeze people and Goddy has massive AoE attacks which he's capable of spamming. While Ajeel can certainly match Goddy in AoE (Sands of Death and Sand World are pretty underrated IMO) I don't think he can match the efficiency given how quickly Goddy can spam them.

Bradman is a tough call to make, as while in combat he seems like an absolute idiot (I may be a fanboy but I'm not blind , though I do have a speculative reason to believe he wasn't going all out at first) he does have a way of killing any regular opponents without exerting difficulty via his First Seal.

Invel is another tough case, even harder because the one opponent he faced is known for resisting his element, with that said though I see Invel as pretty efficient given that he has a myriad of spells that interrupt thought and movement.

Also, to be fair to Gajeel he wasn't using ISD. That would have closed the gap a fair bit. Maybe even completely.

To be honest I'm not sure about what ISD would do in that scenario or if he even has it, that would have been an ideal time to use it and yet he didn't, he actually risked eating the MBP's instead. Given how desperate that is I'm really unsure if he even has it now.

 

[Solitrine]

To be honest I think both LFD and ISD are gone now. Not much time happened between GMG and Tartarus so it makes sense that 2 years later it could be gone. Since it was essentially just Magic absorbed from another Slayer, it has to run out some time you'd assume.

 

[Static]

Besides LFD and ISD are pretty much irrelevant now, both in terms of plot relevancy and power levels lol. FDKM, JBIM and DF outclass the two modes severely.

 

[Crimson Ice]

Jellal swipes away her magic and get hurt in the process. She's the first one to actually damage Jellal. As the fight progress it shows that Sorano's attacks are easily pushing Jellal back also and Racer and Cobra are going CQC at the same pace doing as much damage to Jellal as Sorano's Angels. Not really more impressive as he wasn't even a true dragon slayer at the time and the only reason he did so well against Natsu is because Natsu had to rely on Happy. The Jellal fight just showed that there really wasn't much of a difference between OS power in the first place.

Jellal swipes her magic and gets a small cut and one bruise where as he's sent flying by Cobra. Sorano's attacks start pushing Jellal back afterwards because he was being worn down. Cobra and Racer being at the 'same' pace only hyped up Cobra because Racer is all about 'speed' not to mention coordinated attacks aren't a thing. Him being a true Dragon Slayer is irrelevant because the strongest Dragon Slayer currently, Laxus Is not a true dragon slayer. Cobra was whopping Natsu because he's flat out stronger, him being on Happy didn't decrease his attack speed, in fact Happy has more movement speed than Natsu. Take Nirvana Natsu vs Nirvana Cobra and place them on the ground and Cobra still smacks around Natsu until he yells at the top of his lungs. Cobra is wayy stronger than Sorano, this argument gets even worse if you bring the Zentopia arc into (which some consider canon)

Angel was the first of the OS to do damage to Jellal, and while Cobra managed to push him back, Angel sent him sprawling to the ground.
Cobra was whopping Natsu cause he had Kinana on his side, without her he is significantly weaker.
All the OS are more or less equal, but if we go by feats Racer craps on them all
Angel was capable of summoning a Gray tier character with Gemini, that together with her laser beam spirit could easily give Natsu as good a fight as Cobra.

How would you rank these teams from Ishgar in the current arc from strongest to weakest?

1. Fairy Tail South Team- Natsu, Laxus, Gray, Erza, Wendy and Juvia
   
   
2. Fairy Tail North Team- Gajeel, Mirajane, Levy, Lisanna and Elfman
   
   
3. Blue Pegasus
   
   
4. Lamia Scale
   
   
5. SaberTooth
   
   
6. Mermaid Heel.
   
   
7. Crime Sorciere- Jellal, Meredy, Cobra, HotEye,Midnight,Racer and Sorano.
   
   
8. The Gods of Ishgar- Hyberion, Wolfheim, Jura and Warrod.
   

 

[Static]

Gods Of Ishgar are featless, so I'm discounting them.

Weakest to Strongest :
-Blue Pegasus

-Lamia Scale (no TO Chelia/Sherria/however her name is called)

-Mermaid Heel (only because of Kagura)

-Sabertooth

-Fairy Tail North Team

-Crime Sorciere

-Fairy Tail South Team

8. The Gods of Ishgar- Hyberion, Wolfheim, Jura and Warrod.

In my opinion...

1. Fairy Tail South Team
2. Gods of Ishgar + Jura
3. Crime Sorcière
4. Fairy Tail North Team
5. SaberTooth
6. Mermaid Heel
7. Lamia Scale
8. Blue Pegasus

---

Blue Pegasus is ranked #8 because they are obviously the weakest here.

Lamia scale is ranked #7 because Lyon is the only powerhouse of that guild (not counting TO Chelia).

Mermaid Heel is ranked #6 only because of Kagura, who is stronger than Lyon.

Sabertooth is ranked #5 because Sting, Rogue, and Minerva are collectively stronger than Kagura (not individually).

---

Fairy Tail North Team is ranked #4 because Jellal is stronger than Gajeel and Mirajane with the help of Oración Seis + Meredy.

Crime Sorcière is ranked #3 because Jellal cannot solo all 3 Gods of Ishgar + Jura especially when he is paralyzed by Hyberion.

Gods of Ishgar is ranked #2 because they cannot beat 4+ Erza-Tier characters.

Fairy Tail South Team is ranked #1 because they have Natsu, Laxus, Gray, and Erza who are by far the strongest characters in this list.

 

[monrow___]

Well here is how I see it.

Fairy Tail

Godly Tier
Natsu and Gildarts
Elite Tier
Gray Mira Ezra Laxus Gajeel
High Tier
Wendy
Low Tier
Everyone Else

I put Natsu before Gildarts because yes Gildarts has been alive for a while and yes he has trained more but Natsu hasn't only accquired power but he was he was also born with power and up till that point he hasn't used it.
Gildarts is explainable. He's just Gildarts. He's a boss
I didn't really order the second Tier but if I did I'd be Laxus Gajeel Gray Erza Mira
Laxus before Gajeel because he didn't almost get dragged to the underworld When he solo'd a Spirrgan
Gajeel because he attained DF and he solo'd a Spirrgan
Gray because he solo'd a Spirrgan and I put him after Gajeel because I believe that Bradman was more of a challenge
Erza and Mira are the same imo.
Erza beat Ajeel with the help of Bisca and Mira beat Juliet and Hyein. Which imo are equal to Ajeel.

 

[Brandish μ]

FT South by a landslide

CS
Savage Six
GOI
ST
MH
LS (no Jura or Sherria)
BP (Ichiya though...)

GOI are the hardest to pick... basically they got smashed by 1 Spriggan. God Serena might pack so much offensive power that he blasts anyone off the park that isn't Spriggan level... only hope for the GOI in power scaling is if they make a comeback maybe to fight August or something.

Sorano hits landed first and her attacks pushed Jellal back. Cobra's punches were easily blocked by Jellal but Sorano's attacks weren't.
Not really moving at the same pace in speed but in overall stats. Racer was clearly the one moving faster.
Happy was slowing down Natsu significantly because he was getting too affected by the poison. If Natsu could fight on the ground rather than rely on Happy bcs his motion sickness would've been kicked in. Even Brain admitted Natsu was the stronger of the two.
Laxus has been a true Dragon Slayer since the beginning of the manga. It was said this in the GMG Arc when Sting and Rogue explained it.
Zentopia was never canon so it doesn't matter either way what people think.
