In Fairy Tail, we are fortunate to have many powerful dragon slayers, which makes it challenging to determine their individual strengths. However, here are the most powerful dragon slayers of Fairy Tail.

Wendy Marvell

Wendy is known as the Sky Dragon Slayer, possessing a timid and gentle demeanor, but enjoys making new friends. Throughout the course of the anime, her character undergoes development, transforming her into a stronger individual both physically and emotionally.

As the Sky Dragon Slayer, she possesses the ability to control air and also possesses healing powers, allowing her to heal injuries inflicted by dragons. She is also capable of defending against magic attacks and can enhance the strength and agility of those nearby, including herself. Additionally, her Sky Dragon’s Roar is a formidable force.

Erik

Erik, also known as Cobra, was previously a member of Oracion Seis. His personality exudes confidence and he strongly holds onto his beliefs. He possesses the Poison Dragon Slayer Magic, which he obtained by embedding Dragon Lacrima into his body.

He possesses the ability to create toxins and is also immune to them. Additionally, he possesses Hearing Magic, allowing him to listen to a person’s soul. This grants him the ability to understand their true feelings and anticipate their actions. In exchange for this power, he gave up his right eyesight to obtain Sound Magic.

Rogue Cheney

The Sabertooth guild sent him to the future to aid in defeating Acnologia. As a skilled mage, he possesses the unique ability of Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic, which enables him to transform into a dragon.

Despite being a Third-generation Dragon Slayer and having the ability to enter the most powerful form of Dragon Slayer, he remains a quiet individual who rarely displays his emotions. He was brought up by Skiadrum, a dragon who taught him the art of Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic. In addition to his magical prowess, he is also a skilled hand-to-hand combatant with enhanced speed and durability.

7-Sting Eucliffe

Sting, the Guild master of Sabertooth, shares a similar mission with Rogue as they were both tasked to defeat Acnologia. He is known for his cheerful demeanor and strong belief in the power of friendship. He formed a close bond with Rogue, who often confides in him. Raised by the dragon Weisslogia, Sting learned the art of White Dragon Slayer Magic, granting him the ability to transform into a White Dragon.

Possessing the White Dragon Slayer magic, he has the ability to create and control light. Similar to Rogue, he is also classified as a Third Generation Dragon Slayer, granting him access to the advanced abilities of a Dragon Slayer.

Taught by Metalicana, the Iron Dragon, he possesses Iron Dragon Slayer Magic which grants him the ability to manipulate iron.

He possesses mastery over various elements of Dragon Slayer Magic, such as water, fire, earth, wind, diamond, light, lightning, and darkness. Additionally, his ability to combine multiple elements further enhances his formidable prowess.

4-Laxus-Dreyar

Despite initially being portrayed as selfish and arrogant, Laxus was still a member of the Fairy Tail guild and the grandson of Makarov. However, as time passed, his character underwent significant growth as he worked towards establishing his own identity through his unique powers and skills.

His mastery of Lightning Magic allows him to control and generate lightning. The intense brightness of his lightning can even blind his adversaries. Additionally, his Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic grants him the abilities and characteristics of a Lightning Dragon, as well as protection from lightning attacks. He possesses various other abilities that further enhance his formidable strength.

Additionally, he acquired the ability to wield Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic after consuming Laxus’s lightning. His contribution was crucial in the defeat of Acnologia.

Acnologia

Over time, his frequent slaying of dragons led to an increase in his power. Eventually, his excessive use of this power caused him to transform into a dragon. After years of bathing in dragon blood, he gained the ability to consume any form of magic.

In addition to Dragon’s Roar, Eternal Flare, and Power of the End, he possesses the ability to use Time Magic and Healing Magic. While he is unable to fully heal fatal wounds, he is able to stop bleeding. Furthermore, he has the unique ability to identify individuals by their scents. The defeat of Acnologia required a joint effort from all of the Dragon Slayers.
