[Discussion] Who do you think is stronger?

[Prince Badman]

The hierarchy of strength in Fairy tail has been long debated but some things were very clear from the start. But as the series progressed the power levels of characters have been hard to compare. So i wanted to discuss how the current hierarchy stands. So if I were to decide an order amongst these characters how will you rank them and why?
Natsu (lightening fire dragon mode included), Gajeel(shadow iron dragon mode included), Erza, Gray, Laxux, Mirajane

 

[V h o]

I want to say natsu but I feel the hierarchy doesn't change too much.

Edit
Natsu
Laxus
Erza
Mirajane
Gray
Gajeel

 

[Bimbonium]

Without plot armor
Natsu
Gray/Gajeel
Gajeel/Gray
Laxus
Erza
Mirajane.

With plot armor
Laxus/Erza
Erza/Laxus
Natus/Gray
Gray/Natsu
Gajeel
Mirajane.

 

[Filosoofis]

Probably gray/natsu first place

 

[KcMSean]

I'd say
Laxus
Natsu
Erza
Gray
Gajeel
Mirajane

Still think Laxus is ahead of Natsu, considering we haven't seen too much from him after the Timeskip, but that likely won't last long. I guess Gray and Natsu are supposed to be equals, but I've never felt like Gray could beat him in a fight to the death.

 

[Commander Axe]

Imo it's

Laxus
Natsu
Erza
Gajeel
Gray
Mirajane


Although Natsu Gray Gaeel and Erza are all currently relatively equal.

So you guys think mirajane the only female character compared to erza in fairytail is weaker than gajeel no if anything

Laxus
Natsu/Erza
Grey/Mirajane he might be stronger with DS magic
Gajeel
