Yes the tier list is in order from strongest to weakest.

Mavis is tier 0 because she's cursed. People who are cursed are automatically OP b/c plot. Acnologia can't kill her, and she has the same powerset as Zeref.

Zeref is absolutely tier 0 and you saying otherwise disregards literally everything the manga says. Ars Magia wouldn't have even worked on him, and August had to sacrifice his life for it. It's also said that he rules Alvarez with an iron fist. Not to mention, he taught the Spriggies their Magic. Ankhseram Black Magic will kill anything save for Acnologia and Plotsu.

Now, items and other things can be fashioned to absorb it, but the person themselves will still get rekt if the Magic ever touches them.

arrd lets do this.

invel instafrezze mavis put ice lock on her she is finished. same powerset as zeref?:yodawg show me the feats.

doesnt matter by ur logic FH zeref>natsu w/pof because he cant kill him having immorality is irrelevant when there are other ways to get the win. 2. fh zeref>acno is debatable because FH zeref hardly had any feats to put him above him.

august has copy magic he can trash zeref . irene is a dragon. base zeref has no feats that can put down a dragon irene. he rules alvarez :looolGOI were to be the strongest in fiore. makarov said jura=gildartz and GOI was also to said to leap and bound above the rest by ur logic GOI>gildartz. dont use every word from manga to justifed their power lvls because sometime leads to false hype.
black curse magic not him its ankherseram he cant control it.


lol to cheira and wendy>GS lool how? gray with pof and end natsu>laxus? how? when erza causally stop there attacks. sting with WSM isnt on laxus level at best he is on base natsu(without POF)

Did you forget the fact that Natsu punched through Zeref's immortality? Are we reading the same series?

Ankhseram Black Magic is his Magic you halfwit. He killed Mavis with it, remember? He can also control it if he doesn't care about life. It's literally stated as part of the Contradictory Curse. FACEPALM. Chapter 451, look back at it.

Erza casually stopped Gray's and Natsu's attacks? Is this a joke? Her hands were mashed potatoes when that happened. One was cracked like ice and the other was blacker than that guy in your post.

Mavis's powerset is not dying and being able to kill anything if she loves it enough. That's why she's Tier 0.

Irene is a dragon...so what? Zeref transformed her into a human with the flick of his wrist. Acnologia respects Zeref. August can copy Magic but he isn't immortal like Zeref; still gets shitstomped. He can pull out an Ars Magia and dies and Zeref lives on fine.

Gildarts at the time was equal to Jura. He just improved like the rest of the cast did. GOI were irrelevant and used for dick-measuring God Serena to high power levels.

Your whole argument forgets the fact that main character bias exists, and that everyone isn't going to improve linearly.

ur lucky that we are in a forums that doesnt allow foul words but if i was u. u should follow the rules
natsu defeated zeref=/=he can kill zeref. even zeref said he take some time for him to heal. go reread my post because according to ur logic being immortal means ur god tier in the FT verse.
if he know how to control it he wouldnt have kill mavis genius :cookiehand its come and goes when the plot demands it

i see ur gving mavis feats that she hasnt shown in the manga when did she have to power kill anything when she was getting no stomp by jacob and get no diff invel. beggin some1 to stop invel shit ur pants when she say august and irene?? hahaha nice try

zeref help make her look human=/= beating a dragon. show me feats.

lol ur funny august doesnt have to kill zeref to prove he is stronger. he know more magic than zeref remember. by ur logic base zeref>acno even tho he know he is stronger than him :cookiehand

ur not getting the point gildartz was always above jura was hype to at his lvl. but laxus beat him so are u saying GMG laxus>GMG gildartz? im still waiting why u think wendy>GS cause that is laughable.

erza ate those attcks from both END and gray with pof. and was fine after go reread the chapter. so ur argument is debunked

ur argument are using words without no feats

Put Larcade above Gray, Gajeel and Erza and it's perfect. I see what you did with all the S12 besides the top 3, it's been repeatedly stated they're all the same level so you grouped them together to showcase that. I'd move Dimaria and God Serena up though

Zeref is definitely >August and is basically>= dragon irene(depends if she can stop him from turning her back to human form but he is still stronger)

They don't have the hype or protrayel that puts them on his level.

FT Guild Powerscale based on feats and actions.

1. Natsu

Destroyed Zeref with Fairy Heart and one shot 2+ Spriggan 12 members without Dragon Force or Flame Lightning Mode. Both of these modes increase his power further.


2. Erza

Yes you heard correctly based on feats. With broken bones easily destroyed Irene's enchanted Meteor.


3. Gildart's and Laxus

Gildarts have mountain level shockwave punches and Laxus has giant Lightning Nukes. They are pretty much equal in power.



4. Gray(?)

Powerful yet question mark given in his fight against Invel he had a slayer advantage by being immune to his cold and a slayer advantage against E.N.D an Etherious. However he was able to freeze partial E.N.D Flames which is super impressive in its own right.


5. Lucy(?)

CSK has some of the best feats of any character in the series. Aquarius stardress was able to turn the earth into a tidal wave. Her overall feats are the next best in the entire guild.


6. Makarov

Dude might be old and out but his power still backs a punch. He has powerful defensive and attack power.


7. Mirajane

Her algeria form was pretty powerful and her Sayla takeover was also powerful.


8. Wendy

Wendy has powerful enchantment magic and great speed. Her dragon Force power also holds somewhat of a punch.


9. Gajeel

Great and strong and powerful in his ISD form.


10. Freed

His rune magic is extremely powerful. was able to create a barrier around all of Magnolia.



FH Zeref>Irene>Serena=Whal>=Invel>Algeria>Ezel

^^^What does this Mean?

Fairy Heart Zeref was said to be more powerful than Irene. Irene was said to be more powerful than any of the other Spriggan 12 members outside of August. The Spriggan 12 were shown and said to be on par with the number 1 wizard saint Serena. The Spriggan 12 are more powerful than Algeria and Algeria is more powerful than Ezel.

Natsu defeated Fairy Heart Zeref
Erza destroyed Irene's enchanted enchanted Meteor attack with ease.
Gildarts and Laxus defeated Serena and Whal. Well Gildarts defeated an historia but it was implied they were the same i power.
Gray defeated Invel
CSK easily destroyed Algeria
Mirajane strongest Takeover is her Algeria form


Didn't include Gajeel Black Steel mode because he needs Anti Magical particles to enter that mode. It was more of a 1 off unless he faces Bloodman again.

Zeref (Immortality is pretty useful)

August/Irene (Dragon)
Irene (Dragon)/August
DF Natsu (he could be below here but the attack he used looked pretty good, and DF Natsu has pretty much always been top tier)
*gap*
Larcade
DiMaria (DiMaria's above Human Irene as she can stomp a wider variety of people with ease via Age Seal)
Human Irene/Jellal/Laxus/Gildarts/God Serena
WSD Sting/JBI/DF Gajeel/DeS Gray/FDKM Natsu (I'm always a little uncertain of where to place FDKM Natsu and DeS Gray)
Erza (dat endurance)
*gap*
Bradman/Invel/Wahl
Brandish (I'm still conflicted on her tbh)
Mirajane
Ajeel/Jacob
Base Natsu/Base Gray/Base Gajeel
DF Wendy/Lucy (Again, not really sure where to place them, especially DF Wendy since she went from not being able to scratch DiMaria to hurting Irene)
Neinhart (His historia magic is too unreliable IMO, since he won't always face enemies with powerful historias)
*small gap*
The rest (top tiers among these lot being Kagura, base Sting, Elfman and Lisanna, though tbf that's mainly because they actually got panel time)

Note that this is without POF stuff included, otherwise base Natsu would actually be above FDKM/DF Natsu.

My tiers are designed to take hype into account and with no particular order.

Top Tier:
Natsu, Zeref, Acnologia, August
Very high tier:
Irene (honestly, somewhere between this one and the above one), Gildartz, Laxus, God Serena, Brandish, DiMaria, Erza, Grey, Gajeel, Jellal
High tier:
Larcade, Sting, Bloodman, Ajeel, Wahl, Mirajane, Makarov, Neinhart

After doing this, I think I need to re-read Gajeel vs Bloodman and Larcade vs. Sting, Rogue, and Kagura.

Top Spriggan

Gildarts
Laxus
Jellal

Erza (with power of feelings at their max)

Ishgar's Elites
Natsu (END mode)
Gray (Demonized with power of feelings)
Gajeel (Black Iron)
Sting (White Shadow Dragon Mode)

High Spriggan

Larcade
Natsu (base)
Gray (Base with power of feelings)

Non POF Base Natsu is too high. He's stronger than Neinhart and Jacob but Spriggans with decent haxes like Dimaria and Invel are above him. Base Gray should be average spriggan level; Invel resisting Gray's magic was the primary reason he ever struggled in that fight. Black Iron Gajeel should be average spriggan level too; that mode changed the property of his magic to touch Bradman but was never implied to make him any stronger plus the fight would have ended in a tie if it wasn't for Irene's interference. Base Zeref is Ishgar top tier level at best but that's a debate for the tournament.

It would only take Natsu one or two hits to take down a Spriggan. Dimaria or Brandish might be able to avoid direct combat with Natsu by the nature of their magic, but they are exceptions. The other Spriggans are going down in a few hits if Natsu ever gets serious.

The resistance goes both ways for Gray and Invel. Invel ice was simply stronger than Gray's ice until Gray started to use his devil slaying magic. Then they were on a relatively equal . Then Gray received a POF boost from thinking that Juvia died, and Gray was stronger.

Gajeel's attacks managed to deal lethal damage to Bloodman. The suicide attack doesn't really reflect Bloodman's ability to fight. When it came to combat, Gajeel was a great deal stronger than Bloodman.

Zeref's durability/endurance alone puts him on the level of a top Spriggan. He hasn't ever been knocked out by any attack this arc, so his regeneration is unstoppable if given enough time. He can survive attacks that would kill pretty much everyone else.

I actually wonder why you still put Larcade above the likes of hax users like DiMaria, Jacob, Brandish, Invel, and a natural demon encounter: Wall. All hype that we thought were Larcade's, turned out to be August's, and Larcade only hyped himself. I think my S12 rank is 1. August/Irene and 2. The other 10.

Not really. Both Mavis and Zeref hyped Larcade. Zeref went as far as to say he had potential to be a threat to Acnologia. We saw his magic work on Irene, Gildarts, Natsu and Laxus. Irene herself had no way to counter Larcade's pleasure magic, Zeref had to stop him from using it. If it wasn't for Sting and Zeref's work, RIP would possibly defeat most of them. Larcade did stop a sword with his fingers, something I highly doubt your average spriggan would be capable of without a scratch.

Larcade was the only other Spriggan that was singled out apart from August and Irene by Mavis, and Zeref referred to be him as his secret weapon against Acnologia. He's probably closer to the other Spriggans than he is to August/Irene, but I still see him as being stronger.
