Magna's spell, Soul Chain Deathmatch, equalizes mana between him and his opponents, making battles a test of willpower.
8 Gauche Adlai

Following months of intense training, Luck achieved a new level of power that enables him to channel natural mana into spells, conjuring authentic lightning.
5 Charmy Pappitson
Charmy Pappitson, a 1st Class Junior Magic Knight and a dwarf-human hybrid, possesses an extraordinary blend of magical abilities. She can manipulate two distinct magic types: cotton and food magic. Her Cotton Magic allows her to create and manipulate cotton at will, even summoning sheep to aid her in combat.

Through training in the Heart Kingdom, she has unlocked greater control over both her Food and Cotton Magic, enhancing her capabilities and making her an even more formidable adversary.

2 Asta
Asta engages in combat wielding his extraordinary anti-magic swords in the renowned Black Clover manga. Despite being a 3rd Class Magic Knight, Asta possesses a unique advantage by possessing the rare five-leaf clover grimoire. In a world where magic reigns supreme, Asta stands apart as an anomaly, born without any magical abilities. However, he compensates for this disparity with his remarkable ability. Asta can summon anti-magic swords capable of dispelling any magic they come into contact with. Although his tactical decision-making may not always be the most astute, his proficiency with anti-magic swords establishes him as one of the most formidable fighters in the entire series.
As the embodiment of magic's antithesis, Asta harnesses immense power. Equipped with a repertoire of weapons including a short sword, claymore, and greatsword, each possessing distinct properties for canceling magic, he proves his versatility. Through intensive training under Nacht, Asta attains mastery over his Unite Form, merging with his devil partner, Liebe, thereby vastly amplifying his anti-magic capabilities. Further honing his skills, he achieves mastery over the swordsman technique known as Zetten, which synergizes the potent forces of Ki and Anti-Magic.
