10 Dorothy Unsworth Is Invincible in Her Dream World

First Appearance: Episode #3 "To the Royal Capital of the Clover Kingdom!"

The Captain of the Coral Peacock Squad of the Magic Knights, Dorothy Unsworth, has a great magic attribute of Dream Magic, with which she can manipulate a dimension called Glamour World where she can make anything she imagines come true. Thanks to this magic, Dorothy is also able to read people's minds and trap enemies in her dream world with limitless illusions.

Not only is it impossible to get out of Glamour World, but those trapped inside will get drowsier over time and will never wake up again if they fall asleep. Dorothy’s magic has been called invincible, but her powers will only work if she can take her opponent into the Glamour World. Dorothy is one of the most powerful witches, along with the Witch Queen and Vanessa Enoteca, and her dangerous magic fits her title of Magic Knight Captain.

9 The Witch Queen Can Control Anyone With Her Blood Magic

First Appearance: Episode #57 "Infiltration!"

The Witch Queen is the mother of all witches, and having lived for more than a century, she is one of the mages who have the most knowledge and experience of magic in the world. The Queen of Witches is the ruler of the Witches' Forest and is capable of using high-level spells and even curing the curse in Asta's arm.

The Witch Queen also has enormous and refined magical powers and a rare attribute of blood magic that gives her control over her own blood and virtually anyone nearby, being able to bend the blood flowing through the veins of her opponent and restrain them in addition to applying healing or creating objects. At the same time, she has skills such as fortune-telling and Bird Control. Given that she has only appeared a few times in the series, even acting as an ally of the Black Bulls, the total extent of her power is a mystery.

8 Lolopechka Has Overwhelming Power and an Elemental Spirit

First Appearance: Episode #128 "To the Heart Kingdom!"

Lolopechka is a user of water magic and the ruler of the Heart Kingdom who also inherited the power of the past princesses. She is considered one of the most powerful characters in the series in terms of mana reserves, but also for her control, which is exceptionally advanced due to her connection to the natural magic of the Heart Kingdom.

Despite her contract with the spirit of water Undine and her infinite amount of mana, Lolopechka's biggest weakness is her lack of fighting experience, preferring strategy and defense instead of direct combat. However, she has demonstrated an overwhelming mastery of water magic, being able to create water knights, use recovery spells and capable of covering and protecting vast areas of her kingdom, a power that few other characters can match, showing she has incredible potential to develop.

7 Lilith Can Freeze Even Intangible Concepts

First Appearance: Manga Chapter #279 "The Door to Hell"

Lilith is one of the high-ranking devils, and along with her twin Nahamah, they are in the first level of the underworld. Even though she is the weakest supreme devil, according to Nacht, she is as powerful as the dark triad. Lilith uses Demon Ice Magic, a magic attribute that makes her capable of freezing anything, including invisible, non-physical concepts, and even turning her own body into ice.

After the death of Nahamah, Lilith unlocks her true power with a new union of devils that allows them to use the attributes of both at the same time by launching combined attacks of ice and fire and with a magical power capable of creating a Freezing Sun, an attack big enough to cover the entire Spade Kingdom.

6 Vanica Zogratis Is a Threat That Loves To Fight Strong Oponents

First Appearance: Episode #158 "The Five Spirit Guardians"

Vanica Zogratis is a member of the Dark Triad and the host of the devil, Megicula. Vanica is one of the most powerful and evil characters in the series, and her blood magic, combined with Megicula's curse, makes her a real threat. Thanks to the combination of the two powers, she managed to curse Lolopechka and Acier Silva.

Like her siblings Dante and Zenon and other demon hosts, Vanica possesses superhuman abilities that prove to be a nearly insurmountable obstacle for the magic knights, as they defy the limits of power in the series. Vanica was most notable as Noelle's rival, pushing her even after she acquired Saint Stage Magic.

5 Ichika Yami Masters Dark Magic and Zetten

First Appearance: Manga Chapter #337 "Whereabouts"

Ichika Yami is the younger sister of the Black Bull's captain, Sukehiro Yami. She is a user of dark magic, a magical attribute known to be extremely rare, and is also one of the Ryuzen Seven, a group of seven powerful mages in Hino Country. With her magic, Ichika can produce and manipulate the element of darkness and becomes very powerful, supported by Ichika's extraordinary combat ability.

Ichika also has the ability to manipulate her ki to increase her physical strength and accelerate her speed and agility, allowing her to attack multiple opponents at once. Using Zetten, Ichika can use ki to concentrate magical power in her body, then release it in a single attack, and with her dark magic spell, Dark Cloaked Black Warrior, she can cover her body and sword in darkness, having the appearance of a samurai armor. Although she isn't like her brother Yami for her serious demeanor and strong sense of duty, there's no doubt she is a strong mage like him.

4 Megicula Is the Origin of All Curses

First Appearance: Episode #127 "Clues"

Megicula is a high-ranking devil who managed to usurp Astaroth's position in the underworld and seeks to manifest in the human world. She has a contract with Vanica Zogratis and is able to use Curse-Warding Magic. Also, due to her control over Vanica and Acier’s souls, she has two other magics: Blood Magic and Steel Magic.

Megicula's Curse-Warding Magic is capable of creating powerful curses that not only hurt her enemies but also weaken their spells, and it is effective against arcane and spirits’ magic. It is stated that all curses originate from the Devil Megicula, which allows for lasting effects such as weakening their senses, turning them into devils, or stealing their souls. Additionally, due to her incredible power, Megicula is also under the protection of a high-speed recovery curse. She was so extremely powerful that she fought against Noelle, Nozel, Charlotte, Rill, Luck, and Gadjah.

3 Acier Silva Was One of the Most Powerful Knight Magic Captains

First Appearance: Episode #71 "The Uncrowned, Undefeated Lioness"

Acier Silva, Noelle's mother, was a noble of the House Silva of the Clover Kingdom. As a royal and former captain of a squad of Magic Knights, she possesses an immense amount of magical power, which is why she was known as the Steel Princess. Acier was recognized for her mastery of magic and her incomparable physical abilities, which led her to be known by the name “The Dancing Princess of the Battlefield.”

Her prowess was even recognized by Mereoleona Vermillion, who used to be trained by her and was never able to defeat her in combat, even though Acier had an elemental disadvantage. Acier was even able to stand up to Vanica before being cursed by Megicula. As a Paladin, Acier single-handedly defeated the Silver Eagle squad, which proves why she was known as one of the strongest magic knight captains and compared to powerful mages of her generation like Julius.

2 Noelle’s Potential is Limitless

First Appearance: Episode #4 "The Magic Knights Entrance Exam"

Noelle Silva, despite starting with trouble controlling her magic due to pressure and contempt from her noble family, is currently one of the most powerful characters in Black Clover. Noelle's magic allows her to freely manipulate water, including creating certain water-based objects or strengthening her physical body.

Noelle's magic control evolves, and she even forms a contract with the Water Spirit, Undine, who previously served Princess Lolopechka. After Undine's transfer, Noelle gains a new ability that transforms her into a Saint Stage mage wearing the Saint Valkyrie Armor, managing to enhance her powers and attacks such as the Sea dragon's roar. Noelle's power, far from being reduced after losing Undine, increases considerably after partnering with something better than an elemental spirit, the sea god Leviathan. Noelle has yet to experience the upper limits of her powers.

1 Mereoleona is the Undefeated Lioness

First Appearance: Episode #70 "Two New Stars"

The temporary captain of the Crimson Lion, Mereoleona Vermillion, is a notoriously barbaric Fire Magic user, whose power is more similar to that of a wild beast than that of a human. Mereoleona is among the most powerful mages in Black Clover, since not only is her magic terrifying, but she is also one of the users with absolute control of the Mana Zone, which she uses to predict her opponents' movements and manipulate the surrounding mana. Mereoleona is literally a lioness, having defeated an ancient demon alone, and is an expert in hand-to-hand combat.

In fact, according to Zora Ideale, Mereoleona looks more like a close-range fighter than a mage. Mereoleona even willingly bathes in a magma crater without feeling the slightest heat and can take on multiple high-level enemies single-handedly, as she fought five elves at the same time during the Elf Reincarnation Arc. Mereoleona is easily the strongest female character in Black Clover, since she has actually never suffered a proper defeat on the battlefield before and has transcended mana itself and physical existence.
