Acnologia is the strongest character in Fairy Tail — the only character who required the combined power of every Dragon Slayer simultaneously to defeat.

  1. 1

    Acnologia

    Dragon King. Immune to Dragon Slayer magic. Destroyed an island as a demonstration. Required the entire Dragon Slayer cast to defeat.

  2. 2

    Zeref

    Immortal Black Wizard. His Ankhseram curse and END form make him functionally unkillable by conventional means.

  3. 3

    Natsu (E.N.D. + Dragon King)

    At his peak, the only one who can match Zeref. His ceiling is narratively required to reach whatever the plot demands.

    Erza Scarlet

    The most reliable top-tier fighter. Her armor collection gives her an answer to almost any combat scenario.

  5. 5

    Gildarts

    The guild's benchmark. The standard by which other mages are measured.

    August

    Alvarez's most powerful general. Can copy any magic except Holder-type. Near-impossible to counter.
