Who's the most powerful FE lord?

Depends on what type of power you mean?
Overall fighting capabilities? Ike is implied to be the #1 up till Awakening at least.
Physical strength? Dimitri, followed by either Edelgard or Chrom/Lucina.
Most powerful as in having the most magic power and such? Robin or Micaiah, due to being vessels of much more powerful beings.
Most powerful as in having the most political power? Marth rules the most powerful united nation of any FE Lord by the end of his games.

>Everything else aside, he wields a two handed sword with one hand. Dude is literally fucking shredded and borderline invincible.
Dimitri could literally dualwield Ike and the BK while they hold their weapons.
Physical strength is not rare among FE Lords, any of them with a good amount of dragon blood has superhuman physical strength.

Now Micaiah possessed by Yune isn't Micaiah anymore, now we're talking about a goddess.
Ashera didn't bless Zelgius in any way, Lehran was the one who gave him the blessed armor(which lost its blessing by the time he fought Ike in RD) and Alondite. His strength came from the fact he was a branded, which was an unintended side effect of reproduction between laguz and beorc. That goes to show how strong Ike was even though he was just a normal beorc, although he is the son of the greatest swordsman in all of Tellius at the time, so genetics still give him an advantage there.

Ike is the only one to talk shit straight in the face of a god, and Ephraim is chad enough to siege a castle with 4 dudes. While Sigurd is the best Lord with super genes, his ideals get him killed.

Probably would have to go with Ike then, all things considered.

>Spbp. The real question is who is the weakest FE lord? I'm going with Lyn since she's just a rando who lucked into royalty and whose only specialty is repeatedly making the *tink* noise. Leif comes close but at least he has super powered blood to make up for it.
Weakest FE Lord in terms of fighting is one of the following:
-Marth: good-ish fighter, but not peak level in his own games
-Celica: Same.
-Roy: He is comparatatively weak, but has great potential canonically, but his weapon in one of the strongest in the franchise.
-Lyn: None of the FE7 Lords are even in the Top 10 fighters of their own squad canonically(nevermind the continent a a whole), and Lyn is flat out worse than the other two according to FE7 itself.
-Eirika: Never implied to be that great a fighter.
Leif is canonically superhuman.

In game, probably Corrin by raw stats/abilities. In lore, I wanna say Seliph or Ike.

Hypothetically speaking, he could. But Dimitri's biggest flaw is that he doesn't have determination. Only rage. If placed in a fight against Ike with neutral circumstances, Ike would win every time.

Hector.

Ike is a good contender.
Unfortunately I also think Robin and Byleth are also up there because poorly written self inserts.

>Ike is literally referred to as the strongest in Awakening.
In fairness, Awakening also has Eliwood reduced to doing almost nothing but fawn over how Lyn is so superior to himself that it almost funny, despite the fact that Eliwood was canonically the most skilled of the three FE7 Lords.
>Ike is the only one to face and kill a creator god.
He faced half a creator god, acted as a tool for the other half to focus her power for one single strike, and almost collapsed from holding on to said power for only a few seconds. and the half creator god doesn't even die.
Reminder that the canonically strongest fighters in Tellius bar the goddess are Deghinsea(until his death), Caineghis and Giffca, and Ike is nowhere near Deghinsea.

>he wields a two handed sword with one hand
Spotted the smashfag

Well, Robin at the very least doesn't count as a lord right? I also feel like Byleth is debatable since the house leaders are supposed to be the lords.

The FE7 cast as a whole is the weakest overall they did struggle killing a single dragon after all
so lyn

Probably Byleth, as much as it pains me to say.

Aren't you forgetting someone?

Takes one to know one, I guess. What I said isn't false. It's just a small point in favor of Ike's retard strength. There's plenty of other shit too, but you already know that right?

Considering the full freedom to make them do what you want. Yeah, it's pretty easy.

Not a lord

>None of the FE7 Lords are even in the Top 10 fighters of their own squad canonically
nah, hector was still stupid strong. but its not his fault that he's in a game with people like athos that can snap all of the other games settings in half. Fucker had a personal harem of divine dragon lolis, had control over quintessence/aegir that is only shared with most settings' gods, and could use EVERY magic.

Don't forget literally being a god and having time rewind powers canonically.

>Byleth are also up there because poorly written self inserts.
Ike's supposed skill and strength is legitimately bordering on bad writing in and of itself. Laguz are supposed to be superhuman in strength and speed, but somehow Ike is stronger and faster than almost all of them because his dad was super strong for some reason too.
At least there's an explanation for Byleth being such.
But yes, Byleth is probably canonically the best of the best since much like Ike, he was trained by the best Knight to ever live(and who lived almost 100 years), is noted for his unparalelled sword skill even by the best Fodlan have to offer, and has all of his magical bullshit on top of it.

But is Byleth supposed to be a lord though?

Ike is the chaddest. Even if he's not strongest. "Pray to whatever it is gods worship" is simply unsurpasseable.

huh? he swing his swords around with one hand in both his games too

I dont remember anyone wielding Alondite or Ragnell with two hands
Hell Greil casually picks it up and tosses it to the side with his non sword hand

>nah, hector was still stupid strong
Hector was an inferior fighter to Eliwood in 7 in a one on one, and their team in FE7 has a whole bunch of people that would crap all over both of them(Karel, Vaida, Jaffar etc.).
FE6 Hector and Healthy FE6 Eliwood is another thing entirely, but their young selves are fairly mediocre as far as FE Lords go.

Barring legendary weapon BS probably Roy or Leif. I'm pretty sure they're both 15 making them the youngest lords and neither is very large even for their age.

Gameplay-wise: Sigurd
Lore-wise: Byleth or Ike
Also daily reminder that if you like any of the Archanea games or Fateswakening, you should fuck off to Reddit.

He and Robin pretty much have every single characteristic as other lords do, so yes.

Sigurd
FE peaked at 4

No, Lord is a title, not a personality.

Hell, the originally owner dual wielded Ragnell and Alondite and she wasn't exactly a large muscular man or anything.

I figured the lord title was more superficial than that. Or maybe arbitrary is a better word for it.

Hector would lose to eliwood in a spar, but it would take effort, which puts him solidly above the level of an enraged ice dragon.

>Ike is nowhere near Deghinsea.

That reminds me, I never got around to playing Sacred Stones.

Altina was two heads shorter than Ike and dual-wielded them.
>It's just a small point in favor of Ike's retard strength.
Chrom and Lucina have better canonical physical strength, and Dimitri does too.

Roy gets a bad rap because he isn't allowed to grow up until four chapters before the end game. Also I don't think it's fair to not let him use his super-weapon since it's basically all he's got. It's pretty much a WMD with twenty uses that only Roy can wield, that's got to count for something.

Well for the most part it comes down to who has the strongest weapon. And who would that be? Roy?

Elincia is a lord then

>Who's the most powerful FE lord?
Ike's been stated to be the most powerful on a couple of occasions.

Can't the Binding Blade literally grand the user's wishes?
So yeah, probably Roy.

It's decent but overrated, don't let SS fans tell you otherwise. Honestly, I'm not sure how that game got such a following within the franchise, though I'm thinking it's contrarianism.

>not the main character
False equivalence.

I agree, Roy gets a terrible rap from people who haven't played his game and just looking at growths on Serenes. I'm just talking storyline wise though.

What's with these retards calling Robin and Byleth "Lords"?

>only with the help of her other half, don't be dishonest, user. he's still canonically the strongest, regardless.
Except you forget that there was one other wielder of Yune's power, and Ike killed them while they were full on it and riding a royal dragon laguz.

Yune's power was a contributing factor certainly, but no one other than Ike would be able to wield it and kill Ashera.

Gameplay is not canon, user.
>Vs Ike
>Ike: Dheginsea, Dragon King. I can see you have no intention of letting us pass.
>Dheginsea: I follow my goddess's decrees. My will is unwavering.
>Ike: I have no choice, then. Be on your guard.
>Dheginsea: Very well, beorc general. Our blessings may be equal and opposite, but your strength is a mere fraction of mine. Show me your best!
See:
>but your strength is a mere fraction of mine.
Also, Tibarn is not all that far off from Zelgius and Ike:
>Tibarn: I never would have believed that one day I'd be facing off against you. Life sure is funny, sometimes.
>Dheginsea: Even you, Tibarn? Don't make me kill you. You haven't got a chance.
Deghinsea canonically massively outclasses all your units except Caineghis and Giffca. The implication is that your squad all help beat him.

Smashfags.

Having seven titles with no postgame and then having a game where beating it no longer means all your units will never see another level, is very exciting. it lets you do things like use armor knights.

Idk. I feel like Roy has time to show his personality a lot but it’s mostly with Merlinus (so people will just zone out) and sometimes with Guinevere. I do agree that his ambitions are only clear in the wider scale just before they approach Bern but you get pieces of it scattered throughout the previous chapters.

Truly, these people are worse than people who say Lucina is a Lord

Theyre all the same lmao
Who cares?

>What's with these retards calling Robin and Byleth "Lords"?
Game over if they die/there as a main character from the start of the game? I'd still argue they aren't but I can see why they might think that.

>all the drama centers around them
>they're the ones who recruit
>if they die its a game over
>Byleth has a special weapon of plot advancement
>Robin has to kill the final boss for the best ending
>>>>not lords

"Lord" isn't "Main character". It's a class.

>but your strength is a mere fraction of mine.
How do you know that Dheginsea wasn't just talking shit? Not everything that a character says is necessarily true.
