Black Clover, a world brimming with magic and powerful wizards, has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. With its compelling characters and intense battles, the series has given birth to numerous remarkable individuals who have become fan favorites. It’s only natural to want to know the most powerful Black Clover characters.

In this ranking, we will delve into the world of Black Clover and compare the ten most powerful characters, from the least powerful to the most formidable. Just so you can know how monumental Asta’s climb needs to be a Hokage– er, Wizard King.

Noelle Silva

Noelle Silva, a member of the Black Bulls, has undergone significant growth throughout the series. Initially struggling to control her Water Magic, she has since evolved into one of the series’ most impressive warriors.

Her Sea Dragon’s Roar and her mastery of Spirit Magic place her firmly among the upper echelons of Black Clover characters, especially with her Undine water spirit at her side.

Licht

He has since fallen from the hierarchy, but the fact that he was once the original owner of Asta’s grimoire still makes him a respectable character and someone who deserves to be here.

Sadly, Patolli has taken Licht’s name, but it’s still safe to assume the true Licht will still wipe the floor with that villain. He’s also one of the few characters in the series to almost defeat someone like Lumiere and even nearly kill the young man.

Lumiere

You wouldn’t expect someone with the title of Wizard King to be such a young man, but Lumiere has surpassed expectations. He also defeated Licht, so it’s safe to assume that Lumiere is more powerful than him.

True enough to his name, Lumiere is an expert in Light Magic and also someone who takes full advantage of his four-leaf clover grimoire to further boost his Light Magic to more radiant levels. Besides, the ability to fast travel or travel instantly makes him almost unkillable.

Zenon Zogratis

Zenon Zogratis, a member of the Dark Triad, is a force of nature—or, more accurately, a freak of nature since he’s able to handle two forms of magic at once. Being host to the devil Beelzebub also helps.

His mastery of Bone Magic and Spatial Magic, combined with his ability to access all of his devil’s power, make him one of the most frightening villains in the series. In fact, the height of his power might be limitless or immeasurable since he’s one of the most powerful mages in the series who can possess others.

Yami Sukehiro

Yami Sukehiro, the charismatic Captain of the Black Bulls, is renowned for his Darkness Magic and mastery of Ki. He can absorb mana, create protective barriers, and unleash devastating attacks. Yami’s combat prowess, keen instincts, and ability to cut through dimensions make him a versatile mage with a lot of unpredictable tricks up his sleeve.

Moreover, he gives off that jaded and older veteran persona that action anime love to have in their character roster. You don’t mess with guys like that, guys like Yami. And it’s not like any enemy can sneak up on him since he can easily sense anyone’s Ki and react faster than the enemy can think.

Megicula

Moving on to devils, we have Megicula, the devil responsible for cursing Princess Lolopechka. This high-ranking devil wields Curse Magic with terrifying proficiency.

Her devilish powers, combined with her cunning and malevolence, have posed a significant threat to the Clover Kingdom. The ability to manifest across worlds alone puts her near the top. At times, she can even overcome any powerful kind of magic.

Nacht Faust

Nacht Faust, the enigmatic Vice-Captain of the Black Bulls, has a dark secret from his edgelord predilection. He is capable of controlling multiple devils, a feat few can achieve. And since we’ve given a picture of just how powerful devils can be with Megicula, you get the idea of what controlling multiple devils can entail.

But even without his devils, Nacht’s knowledge and strategic acumen have been instrumental in facing the demonic threat, and he continues to be a crucial asset to the Clover Kingdom.

Most of the time, he wields four mid-ranking devils, tapping into their forms and combining with them to bolster his abilities.

Lucifero

As usual, we have Lucifero near the top of the ranking. He’s the ruler of the Underworld and is a devil of unparalleled power.

His Gravity Magic allows him to manipulate space, time, and reality itself. Only the combined efforts of numerous characters have managed to challenge his nigh-omnipotent might. It’s a given, too, as a character named after one of the most popular depictions of evil in the real world is bound to be among the most powerful.

Asta

Asta, the anime protagonist of Black Clover, defies all odds by lacking magical abilities in a world filled with mages. Like Naruto, he’s all about surpassing limits with the power of shonen anime shouting and boneheaded determination.

With the aid of Liebe, the devil residing within his grimoire, Asta has become an anti-magic powerhouse, easily countering most of the characters here with all their magical prowess. His unwavering determination and combat skills have earned him a spot among the strongest in Black Clover. He’s nearly there.

Lucius Zogratis

Here’s one more member of the Zogratis family to cap off the list. It has been a rather chaotic tally, but most of the fans can agree that the current Wizard King is the top dog in Black Clover.

He’s the eldest among the Zogratis siblings and someone who could easily defeat Lucifero and humiliate the devil afterward. While Asta has come a long way with Liebe’s help, he’s not quite on Lucius’ level just yet, though no one really is at this point.
