Not really lol.

The only "counter" is using tools, in the sense that it can bypass the immunity given by copy. But the issue is.......... it is 100% countered by Midnight's refraction LMAO. August copied refraction ON SCREEEN, so there is really no excuse.

August also, realistically, should have all Spriggan's abilities, except for Bradman (curse), Wahl (machine) and maybe Serena (lacrima).
Which means, the guy should have the next 3 OP hax I mentioned lmao. Gildarts vs August should've ended instantly with August one shotting him by clap hax, or timestop, or organ burst.

The only real counter to August, is the generic counter to all haxes.........to be overwhelmingly more powerful than him to the point copy, refraction etc won't be able to negate the spells.

He's literally invincible within his tier because of his ability. This character shouldn't exist. Don't get me wrong though, I don't have an issue with the "copy" part of his ability, that's the reason he's the magic king after all (though it shouldn't immediately make him a master of the spell he just learned compared to mages who worked YEARS on those spells).
But, to instantly negate the spell he just learned? Just plain BS.
I’m just saying is unlike the other three it can at least be beaten in a unbs way (sorry I couldn’t think of the right word to say) because all the other three spell you either need to be op, the villain being stupid, or something random happens where it stops their magic. Copy like you said just need to use tools. (This is mostly about if someone else had this magic besides August)

Can we revisit why we don’t think Laxus and Erza are on the same tier as August and Irene yet? I mean it’s seemed pretty solid that every time theirs a power jump they have a significant gain. Laxus has been trailing Gildarts since Tenrou. (His performance against Hades puts him solidly over Bluenote, who knew not to challenge him.) At worst you can argue they were mid Spriggan lvl during the Alvarez arc. Having reached top tier seems rather obvious now.

I feel like if Laxus and Erza were on August/Irene level, most people they meet would have to freak out about on their MP. Also, we don't really put Gildarts at that level either.

Everyone used to freak out about Makarov's MP back in the days too lol. Mashima keeping up this exponential power scaling kinda makes that pointless. Not saying they are on August level tho, I don't believe that.

Laxus and Erza teaming up would get low diffed August, but they could actually do some good damage against Irene before she beats them thanks to their dragon slaying magic. If dragon Irene actually tries, unlike in her fight against Erza and Wendy, she'd also low-mid diff Laxus+Erza. We already know she can one shot Erza with a casual smack and Laxus is just slightly stronger than her so he'd be no different. She could also one shot them with the same spell she used to beat Nebal.

August would, since he's immune to magic all together. Laxus will be completely useless in this fight. August should technically be immune to tools as well, since he copied Midnight's powers. But in worst case scenario of CIS, like against Gildarts, it will just be August vs Erza (swords), whom he can low diff.

Current Laxus + Erza will actually beat Eileen, dragon form or human form.
Either of them can solo human Eileen. Human Eileen was x792 Erza tier.
One clear blow from Laxus would one shot dragon Eileen, considering that Erza with DS enchantment managed to do the same. They need to be wary of Eileen's physical attacks, since it does massive damage. But since it's 2 vs 1, Erza can distract dragon Eileen, while Laxus manage a clean shot.

The thing is, the user of copy can be as OP as you can imagine, depending on whatever spells he previously learned.

If he had copied those three spells prior (which he should've, since he has seen them use their spells), then he's more OP than them.
If he has Midnight's refraction (which he has, literally has manga panel showing it), then he should be immune to tools as well, his supposed "weakness"

If you mean someone who JUST has copy and no other spells, then yea, I'd agree. But that wouldn't be the case, would it?

How was human Irene = x792 Erza? She low diffed an Erza enchanted by Wendy and was playing around with them. Erza only got a good hit off on her when Irene decided to stand still and tank one of her attacks since she was going to forfeit her body and go to Wendy's. We also found out that Irene had feelings for her so it's likely she wasn't going all out, which is likely since she could've just one shot her with the attack that defeated Nebal by separating his magic. What answer does she have to that? Same goes for Laxus, who's more or less equal to Erza.

I agree that dragon Irene would be heavily disadvantaged, but I think she could win with her strength and even stronger enchantments.

Don't talk to GM about Irene. It's the equivalent of talking to me about Gray or Jko about Jellal.

Makarov was stronger than the competition back then, and to be fair... People like Wraith still consider him strong. I just feel if Laxus and Erza had August levels of MP, people would make comments on it all the time.

I dont agree with Irene having not tried against Erza and Wendy. She just didnt expect Erza to actually be able to cut down her meteor. At best you can argue she jobbed, but the effort to kill Erza was there.

You're right she definitely did try, but she didn't go all out.

Which never made sense to me. He didn’t freak over August power, had no trouble keeping up (even before his daughter got involved), and his first landing attack convinced August to revert to his suicide bomber ace. Laxus has been chasing Gildarts the entire series. Realistically another major power jump from a year of training, should have him sitting pretty solid. His treatment of Kyria supports it. Even if you make the argument it’s only in his amped form.

Nebal is nowhere close to them power wise. An Erza only needed Wendy to win. You wanna give her a slayer stronger than her?

Like the entire assembled cast thinking they have no chance against Laxus?

No Nova........Laxus isn't August level as of now....no matter how you try to spin it.
I’m not spinning it. I’m saying it.

And you're still wrong.

Might as well be cosplaying as Lamia Scale's master with all that spinning.

Laxus and Erza aren't individually on Eileen or August's tier but together they would beat either of them imo.

Why lol. I agree that dragon Eileen is August tier, just not human Eileen. I think that's a fair take. This is consistent with portrayal, peak of both of them should be comparable based on their portrayal.

Edit: also, I think you're fair in where you put Gray lol. The only place where we disagree is on darkness Gray.

How was human Irene = x792 Erza? She low diffed an Erza enchanted by Wendy and was playing around with them. Erza only got a good hit off on her when Irene decided to stand still and tank one of her attacks since she was going to forfeit her body and go to Wendy's.

I didn't say human Eileen = x792 Erza. Just said overall she's Erza tier. She has MP >> Erza, but Erza is superior in combat speed and attack power. Dragon Eileen obviously >> Erza.

Eileen didn't just decide to stand still. She used her spells on Erza, Wendy countered them and resulted in Erza landing a blow on her while she casted the soul exchange spell.

And see Eileen vs Erza round 2. This time it was WITHOUT Wendy, ie solo. Eileen was extremely angry and Erza was still matching her in combat, until she decided to transform to dragon.

Nebal is nowhere near their level.
She used her strongest spell on Erza, i.e she did go all out. And Erza broke it. I do agree that moving and attacking with such power without any functional bones is utter BS, but it does mean that healthy Erza would have the power to break the spell.

Laxus and Erza aren't individually on Eileen or August's tier but together they would beat either of them imo.
How would they beat August? Laxus will just be a duck against him. It will just become Erza vs August.

Without CIS, he should make Erza's swords useless as well, since he has Midnight's spells. But I'm just going based on his fight against Gildarts, where he didn't use refractor to nullify Gildarts' spell from tool.
This is the worst case scenario, August fighting like he did against Gildarts without using any spell he copied earlier, except meteor. Laxus is completely useless in this fight. While Erza can at least use her swords.

With about the same difficulty as they beat his equal, Eileen. Erza has the offense to kill him, with Laxus as support it's pretty much a sure thing. As for specific strategies, Laxus takes August head on and Erza strikes in the openings that he creates, much like Cana and Gildarts did except Erza's attacks aren't a one time thing and Cana+Gildarts<Laxus+Erza.

For Midnight's powers, didn't use it against Cana and Gildarts so he's not using it on Laxus and Erza. Midnight can't attack and defend at the same time, so August is likely the same, he probably can't use Midnight's magic if he's using other magic, either that or he's just too stupid, which in itself is just as great of a weakness.
Laxus also isn't useless in the fight, he's just not dealing damage. Gildarts handled August almost the entire fight without using his mechanical arm, while also protecting Cana, Laxus does something similar, the only difference is Erza is a significantly more powerful ally.

Alvarez Erza pulls nakama power out of her ass and does the impossible. She would "cut" through his copy magic or some shit. 😎

poder, perfeccion, pechos = power, perfection, breasts lmao.
I'll make a 90th CV alt just to troll you again :3c
Do it lol. I'd rather get trolled than debate Omni or Exauce...even when trolling, you did a better job at debating than them. :fan Ryuo and Raigo are the two biggest wanked feats in OP as of now. 85km long Jaya :invalid
