*facepalm*
One guy's wanking Larcade and the other's downplaying him.
His magic affected Irene and Zeref , but check the magnitude at how much it affected people like Laxus and others and the magnitude at how much it affected those two. Other people were completely lying on the ground , helpless , whereas Irene wasn't floored , she managed to retain to stand and attack , even if she was weakened. Same goes for Zeref. Which means he can affect those stronger than him only to a minimal limit. He can't affect Acnologia. Base Natsu is not on par with Zeref lmao. If it wasn't for Zeref toying around/jobbing , he would've gotten oneshotted. Remember how Zeref oneshotted Natsu and forced him into DF with a single spell ? This Zeref is capable of enchanting a dragon into a human , and base Natsu was being controlled by Brandish. Please. If this isn't Savage Flames of Emotions Natsu , he can't defeat Zeref.
That being said , bringing up Sting here is the most ridiculous instance one can cite . Sting was literally immune to his Pleasure , white magic and RIP as well. And was still getting dominated through out the fight. If it wasn't for Larcade being cocky and jobbing , Sting would've lost the fight hard. Larcade is far above Sting level. His magic was capable of flooring ( flooring , not just affecting ) Laxus and entirety of FT , and Gildarts ( some argue Gildarts went along with it because he's pervy , never know ) . So yeah , Larcade IS a tier above Bloodman . It was even stated.
Now it depends if Larcade's hax spells affect Bloodman or not. If Bloodman's immune to sleep , hunger and sex because he's a demon , then Larcade's a goner. Larcade's main factors that place him so high are his hax , if that's taken away , I'd argue he's not even Spriggan tier.
