An adaptation of the manga of the same name, the anime Fairy Tail came out in the 2000s, and is one of the last shows that had the long-running episodic format. Like the manga, the show featured a lot of guilds filled with wacky characters and strong personalities.

While the likes of Fairy Tail, Lamia Scale, Sabertooth, and Crime Sorcière are considered some of the strongest, there are, in fact, quite a few guilds that are quite weak in comparison. It's time to shine a spotlight on those particular guilds. Take note, though, that guilds that have little to no information about them in the anime will not be considered.

Fairy Tail: The 12 Strongest Guilds

The Kingdom of Fiore is dotted with guilds of varying strengths and sizes. Here's a rundown of the strongest guilds in Fairy Tail.

7 Orochi’s Fin

Cowered In Fear When Fairy Tail Came For Revenge

Orochi's Fin
  • Notable Mage: Orochi Head

Orochi’s Fin guild claims to have a rivalry with Lamia Scale. The reason for this rivalry is unknown, but even though they are a legal guild, Orochi's Fin gets up to no good most of the time.

They aren’t without power, but compared to all the guilds showcased in Fairy Tail, they are weak by comparison. They did manage to get Bluenote as a hired hand, but he and the rest of the guild were defeated in no time by Natsu and co. Once cornered, they solidified their reputation as a weak guild, as they surrendered immediately and didn’t even try to put up a fight.

6 Quatro Cerberus

They Had To Change Their Name To Quatro Puppy

Quatro Cerebus
  • Notable Mage: Bacchus

The rockstar guild was created by Goldmine, a former member of Fairy Tail, and he put together quite a few unique individuals. Again, this is the case of a guild that isn’t weak in itself, but when compared to the other top guilds in the land, it is relatively weak.

Quatro Cerebus has an S-class mage called Bacchus on hand, but he suffered defeat at the hands of Elfman after making a bet. This led to the guild changing its name to Quatro Puppy. In the anime, the guild was used for a lot of gags. In a battle against the other top guilds, few will consider them capable of holding their own.

5 Twilight Ogre

Disgraced Upon The Return Of Fairy Tail

Twilight Ogre
  • Notable Mage: Banaboster

Twilight Ogre is a guild in Magnolia who started to terrorize the town when the Fairy Tail guild was trapped on Tenrou island. With all the strong characters from Fairy Tail gone, the mages left were weak, and Twilight Ogre took advantage of that. In a memorable scene, they stormed the Fairy Tail guild hall and were accosted by Romeo Conbolt, who wanted to protect the guild.

While Fairy Tail is full of powerful characters, there are some characters who are pretty weak but are blessed with overpowered abilities

Romeo was about to take a hit when the assailant was casually kicked away, and it was revealed that the main Fairy Tail mages were back. As none of the Twilight Ogre members could even hold a candle to the Fairy Tail main members, it's easy to consider them among the weaker guilds.

4 Sylph Labyrinth

Great Treasure Hunters But By No Means Mages

Sylph Labyrinth
  • Notable Mage: Rala

Sylph Labyrinth is the strongest non-magical guild in the whole of Fiore. The guild specializes in finding treasure and even won the Grand Secret Treasure Games, the equivalent of the Grand Magical Games.

Members of the guild can’t use magic, but are excellent weapon users. It has been said that they can beat an average guild. That said, it would seem that in the arena of true magicians with power, they would not be able to handle such a fight due to their lack of magic.

3 Southern Wolves

Morally Ambiguous, And Underestimate Mages Too Much

Southern Wolves
  • Notable Mage(s): Vanish Brothers

The Southern Wolves guild is one of the non-magical guilds that exist in the kingdom of Fiore. They are mostly martial artists who also use magic-countering technology to fight against their opponents. They have only two known members, a pair of brothers.

While they are strong in their own right, they are incapable of handling strong guilds and like to underestimate mages. They are also willing to take on all sorts of jobs, whether for good or evil purposes, as long as the price is right.

2 Cait Shelter

They Never Really Existed Anyway

Cait Shelter
  • Notable Mage: Wendy Marvell

The Cait Shelter guild was created for the sole purpose of raising Wendy Marvell and Carla. The guild came about after the creator, Roubaul (who is actually a spirit) created multiple illusions to keep up appearances and trick Wendy into believing she was a member of a real guild.

Fairy Tail: Dragon Slayer Magic, Explained

Dragon Slayer Magic can completely turn things around in any battle. Here's a look at one of the strongest types of magic in Fairy Tail.

After an adventure with the Fairy Tail guild, the truth about Cait Shelter and Nirvana, the mysterious magic that Roubaul created, was revealed. The great magic, which Roubaul had meant to protect his tribe, ended up destroying it. Cait Shelter is a weak guild due to its lack of members, especially considering Wendy and Carla left to join Fairy Tail.

1 Fairy Tail (Edolas)

The Edolas Version Of The Strongest Guild Has No Powers

Fairy Tail
  • Notable Mage: Lucy

When the members of Fairy Tail ended up in Edolas, they met with members of a Fairy Tail guild who looked exactly like them, but with different personalities. The history of the Edolas in Fairy Tail is tragic. Most of its members are dead due to being hunted by the Royal Army, who are bent on stamping out all guilds.

While the Fairy Tail team in Edolas is resourceful, they are ultimately without magic. Therefore, in terms of powers and abilities, they would be unable to hold their own against regular guilds in Fiore.
