For a series like Black Clover, ranking characters on strength is more complex than usual as its hard to gauge their abilities since they are so diverse.
Power in Tabata’s universe is character-based, with strength reliant on individual characters’ narrative arcs and personal development more than their species, magic, or experience.

She can also increase her physical combat abilities and was able to defeat the three Paladins and slay the ancient five-headed dragon in Chapter 352.
10Mereoleona Vermillion
Species- Human
Magical Powers- Fire Magic
Mereoleona has got to be more beast than human. I mean, even without the Fire Spirit Salamander, who chose her brother, she is among the most powerful fire mages alive.
Just thinking back to her battle against the elves makes me wanna give her a standing ovation. It was a 1v5, for crying out loud!
She’s one of the most proficient Mana Zone users, having taught a goat-like Yami. She’s literally a lioness, having defeated an ancient demon alone.
She stands up to Lucifero and refuses to back down, even punching him and later mocking him.
9Other Angels
Species- Angels
Magical Powers- Supernatural Powers
Lucius Zogratis created the Guardian angels by fusing “rebels” unfit to be part of the “New World.”
He created them to aid him and his Paladins in waging war against the Clover Kingdom and the world.
These humanoids possess supernatural attributes and inhumane strength, capable of taking out armies at once.
They have multiple magical elements, making them invincible and challenging even for Asta.
8Musyogatake Yosuga

Musyoga Yosua, also known as the “God of War,” is the strongest member of the Ryuzen Seven.
Yosuga posseses immense magical powers, which canwithstand the piercing Ice Magic spells from a Paladin.

His swordsmanship and proficiency in Taijutsu are said to surpass Yami Ichika.
7Acier Silva
Species – Human x Devil
Magic – Steel Magic

6Morgen Faust x Lucifugus
Species – Human x Devil
Magic – Light Magic
Lucius Zogratis revived Morgen Faust as one of his Paladins, and he was granted the powers of Lucifugus, a high-ranking devil responsible for his death.
Morgen undergoes a transformative change by harnessing the purified devil power, sprouting four horns from his head and two sets of wings. lines emerge along his neck, extending to his cheeks, while his clothes turn light blue.
With the devil’s powers, Morgen has achieved a nearly immortal body making him invincible in battle!
And the upcoming battle with his former senior Yami Sukehiro and twin brother Nacht Faust is quite anticipated.
5Noelle Silva
Species – Human
Magic – Water Magic
Noelle has come a long way from a hesitant and insecure novice who couldn’t even control her Water Magic to a strong fighter served by the Water Spirit Undine herself.
After losing Undine, we all thought Noelle’s overall power would go down by a LOT similar to Naruto after losing Kurama recently. However, Tabata pulled a fast one on us and gave Noelle something better than an elemental spirit.
Noelle is now the host of Sea God – Leviathan and she’s strong as f**k!
Even before Undine, during the Elf Reincarnation Arc, Noelle’s whole Sea Goddess thing showed us how immense her mana levels are.
Her Valkyrie Armor borrowed from one of her mother’s spells and enhanced her offense, defense, and mobility.
Noelle’s battle and victory against Vanica were quite emotional. When Megicula emerged, she didn’t back down either, eventually destroying her heart. Saint Stage Noelle is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with.
4Sukehiro Yami
Species – Human
Magic – Dark Magic
Our favorite, Captain Yami, is one of those characters who entered the show powerful but has only grown mightier since. He is constantly surpassing his limits like his protégé, Asta.
Yami could take on Licht at full power early on. He uses Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash: Equinox to slice the devil Zagred in half.
He is even able to defeat Captain Dorothy and shatter her Glamour World, which is a commendable feat.
Yami is a master swordsman and also possesses the ability to sense Ki, which gives him a sixth sense to perceive things others can’t.
Additionally, after the Qliphoth Advent Ritual, Yami gets a modified body structure comparable to Asta’s devil possession. He is overflowing with magic and is a legend, and I will fight whoever disagrees.
Also, Yami was able to fight the formidable Dante and, despite being heavily injured, deals some blows to the Demon King, Lucifero. None of the other Captains could do this, not even Mereoleona.
Recently, we discovered that Yami apparently massacred the whole of the Yami clan apart from his sister, Ichika.
Yami is supposed to be a samurai assassin in addition to a powerful mage. If he masters Zetten like his sister, his swordsmanship, Dark Magic, ki, and determination are to take him to the top.

Yuno Grinberryall is the deuteragonist, having the role of Asta’s rival, possesses two grimoires, and can deftly manipulate and control the wind. Moreover, he can even enhance his abilities thanks to Sylph!

Asta is the courageous and most persevering character and is driven by the will to never give up on becoming the Wizard King. He has beaten all odds time and time again in a world of magic where he possesses Anti-magic.

Asta and Leibe share a firm bond and portray the central aspect of the series, painting the power of friendship, overcoming personal struggles, and inspiring each other.
Both of them together can access a powerful form called Devil Union Mode. Which significantly amplifies Asta’s strength, speed, and magical resistance.
The Devil Union mode makes them truly invincible to any human or demon!
