I have searched this enough and I don’t think this topic exists. So here’s the deal, I search here and there for who is the single most strongest unit in official Fire Emblem series (lore wise). Obviously the strongest character will be a God-like being. Some say, it’s Grima, or others say it’s Ashunera. There are plenty of other contenders to this title as well. So I’ll make a poll about this.
I’m gonna go on a limb and say it’s Sothis. Aside the fact the competition is only between her and Ashunera bc they’re the only deities in FE that are associated with creation stories (that we know of), and Sothis has shown to have (or have had) more capabilities as a creator, especially with the snippets of lore we get from Heroes (iirc).
Why no one bringing up anankos has been the only one able to go to different universes, either different realities or actual universes like taking severa, inigo and owain and placing them in fateslandia
I mean, Naga made a weapon so powerful that an unpromoted unit could brutally murder a powerful dragon with ease. You can’t say that for any other superweapon in the series.
After Heroes, the powerlevel of the main series have become meaningless. You can have a world ending threat in a game but that threat will be called by the Heroes gods and wear funny hats while they celebrate Halloween.
I can’t imagine this being a discussion, to be honest. Ashera herself could petrify any of her creations in a moment if there was enough chaos going around, which also means she could petrify any of the other godlike creatures as well, because all them had chaos within. Maybe Naga could save herself (we never see her altered) but even then, Naga couldn’t even beat Grima by herself. Also, Ashera can use the classic zombie magic to raise armies of cadevers. And this is only half of her power, now imagine when she finally becomes one with Yune and becomes Ashurena
Is this who’s most powerful lore wise, stat wise, or who’s most supreme in a hierarchical way?
My initial thought was that it’s not a fair question since each of the FE series take place in different worlds. I then remembered that there is substantial evidence they all take place on the same globe just in different time periods and on different continents.
-Ashunera clearly created tellius. whether or not she formed the rest of the world is unclear.
-Grima is more like an archdemon. In most theologies/major religions the antithesis/bad guy is either a created being or has maybe been around since time immortal, but wasn’t the one to initiate creation & as such has less dominion over it than whoever did.
-Others have said that Fates is a fever dream, even if it isn’t a quick glance at fireemblem fandom says that Anankos is one of the first dragons. Unless I’m misunderstanding something I think that would put him more on par with say Lehran than the major dieties.
-Naga is similar to grima and anankos. I think of dragons as a lower tier of diety than whoever/whatever “the originator” is.
“RNG” and “Kaga” are both great answers, but without breaking the 4th wall I think the best answer we have so far is Sothis.
-She embodies what the fire emblem series is. She’s also presented almost like a manifestation of another spirit rather than just being a spirit/being herself (If that makes any sense. almost like she’s a projection I guess?) She also has the title “progenitor god” which doesn’t necessarily put her above everything, but does indicate her being at the heart of the birth of all life (green hair, barefoot, has a very druidy vibe)
as an aside, there is a fairly consistent meme in media of the ultimate god of everything being a silly little girl. it’s not proof or anything, just an option.
So my thoughts:
-Sothis created life (potentially even ashunera and the other “deities”)
-Ashunera created man
-We don’t know who created the Dragons
-We don’t know for sure who created the planets/stars
there’s a chance sothis actually did make everything though
EDIT: again, the poll says “strongest.” Idk who would win in a cage match. probably naga or somethin’
To all the people who are trying to think this objectively, I don’t think it’s possible. Because most of the demi-gods or gods are shown to be fairly powerful but their power levels are determined by the game they’re in. I don’t think Fomortiis would be that weak lore wise if it takes 5 sacred stones (1 in SS) and 10 busted legendary weapons (Except Gleipnir) to beat him lore wise. This poll is supposed to be very subjective. We can only judge the power levels of god based on their feats. I haven’t played the games of Naga, Ankaos or Grima, so can’t say anything on them. But for now I believe…
Ashunera seems like the strongest of them all for the reasons mentioned above. I think there are still many people who think Ashunera is not stronger than Ashera, which I believe is very wrong.
This poll is made out of pure imagination. Like what if there was a series of game where all the continents, Valentia, Archanea, Elibe, Magvel and Tellius were combined… Who would be the true God there ? That sort of thing. This is purely speculative and shouldn’t be taken seriously.
(Answering because you tagged me)
I mean, obviously. If you think we are taking this thread seriously, you should go to the “glasses in fire emblem” thread. Now THAT was serious
