Merc easily without too much trouble. Not even a contest

 

[Orphan Prince]

Merc stomps, while I'm doubtful that he was as strong as a full powered (even Human) DG considering his performance after Natsu ate Ignia's fire, he should still be far above everyone here. Even if Brandish and Laxus teams up, he crushes them.

@Kiki : Aren't we speaking about Merc without being nerfed by Touka ? 100% of his original abilities ?

yes. merc is in 100%. if some things were restricted I would have said it in the OP

 

[Tirl]

We never seen him in 100%

 

[Orphan Prince]

yes. merc is in 100%. if some things were restricted I would have said it in the OP

So, he's at full power where he can be compared to Selene & Ignia, or is he just as strong as he was in his Dragon Form?

No, but we've seen Ignia and Selene, and he scales directly to them.

sorry i mean the merc version we have seen in the manga

 

[Orphan Prince]

I mean, the version doesn't really matter here, Merc wins with ease either way. Especially if Laxus & Brandish aren't allowed to team up.

I still need a clarification - is it Human version Merc from manga with only skills from Dragon, or is it Dragon version with all power he has in manga but in human form? Cuz they are completely different in PL

I think it's Merc in his Human Form, but he has the PL he had in his Dragon Form.

 

[Tirl]

I think it's Merc in his Human Form, but he has the PL he had in his Dragon Form.

But that doesn't make sense. Selene and Ignia only have their human versions' power

 

[Orphan Prince]

Yes, but it's a tournament and DF isn't allowed, thus, his power should have (and has) been allowed to be used in his Human Form, it's not like he was amped up to 100%.

All Merc has is the power he held when he was a Dragon, which was less than half of his full power, hence, him not even being as strong as Selene & Ignia.

 

[Kiki]

ye i think orphan prince worded it best :3

That is not Merc's true power

 

[grey matter]

Merc stomps both of them solo.

I'll assume human Merc is at like 33% his full potential. More than enough to defeat Laxus and Brandish.

**********************

Seems people are confused here about "which Merc"

It would be human Merc, with all the power that he had left.

After WW used her abilities on Merc, two things happened:
- Merc's entirety of his power available to him, got reduced to < 50%
- Merc's powers became entirely under WW's control. She can make it either 0 or whatever max Merc still had left.

The one Kyria stomped was probably close to 0%. The one that stomped entire team Natsu, was Merc with all his remaining powers.....and this would be the percentage used in the tournament. That's correct? @Kiki

Merc's dragon form had all the power he had left, after WW took control of him. Which was < 50%. Same applies to Merc's human form as well, some percentage less than 50.

 

[Zelefomavis]

Brandish's journey stops here I guess.
I can't even think of a troll argument to defend her this time. Those are some troubled times

 

[Lucy>Wendy&Elfman]

Merc stomps both.

Laxus is strong but not enough to be on the level of human DGs.

Brandish is fodder.

 

[Dimitri1220]

No one has shown to be human dragon god levels except other dragon gods.
