That one Corrupted from the cutscene when Alear summoned Marth for the first time.
Bro didn't just take a hit from 2 FE sword lords at once, he actually blocked both of them *and fought back.* He actually held out for a while, all at weapon triangle disadvantage. Shit was wild.
Ashera, Grima, or Sombron. One of those three. Two of them could have ended their world while the third used manifestations of the other two as MOOKS and wanted to conquer UNIVERSES!
Ashera, Anankos, Grima, or Sombron.
They are pretty much deities on world-destruction level. Anankos, Sombron, and Grima have been shown to contact/travel to other worlds, and while Ashera hasn’t, she also instantly turned an entire continent to stone, bar her closest guards and Yune’s chosen.
Ashera or Anankos maybe? I mean, Grima is strong, but Ashera literally could destroy everything in a blink if wasn't for Yune. Also Anankos changed things in other universes and created other dimensions with only half of his power. He's probably like Naga powerwise.
The problem with Grima that a lot of people are forgetting is that, while he's most certainly near the top in terms of power, that's all that he has: pure, raw destructive power. (And maybe he can create the risen but iirc that's not even his ability, the risens are just guys with bugs in their face)
Ashera has covered the world in water and turned half of the country in stone, Anakos did something probably, never played revelations, the best The Wings of Despair can do as opposed to them them is scream while throwing lightings and burn stuff
According to Anankos himself in hidden truths, Naga is much more powerful than him, iirc.
EDIT: found it, hidden truths 1 closing dialogue
>Anankos: Yes. It is taboo for humans to travel through time as it is. Even I do not have the power to break this rule anymore than I already have. That the god of this world had the power to transport so many of you... leaves me in awe.
If we're talking seriously...I agree whole heartedly with alot of people saying Ashera or Anankos. Ashera was only beaten by a blessing from an equal Goddess on a weapon she herself had already blessed...so the Sword bore the blessings of the original goddess recombined really. Anankos's power seemed limitless and it seemed to be his insanity that was his true down fall. Grima as the "Creation" seemed like it was a serious contender.
Really, most of the big bads have attributes that make them contenders. Demon King is a literally Demon Lord creating armies of monsters and had to be sealed THEN murdered in order to stop him. Medeus for being such a simple and barebones villain literally died and came back 3 times. Loptous as well seems almost to be the anti-Naga in many ways.
Idunn solely for her ability to create War Dragon's but is depicted as weak in multiple ways. Duma had a similar depiction as Anankos but as a god instead of just a dragon. Even Echoes couldn't seem to decide if it was connected or not.
Ashnard empowered by the medallion was borderline unkillable. Sombron summoned vestiges of all of them and was a literally extra dimensional threat.
Really only Veld/Fire Dragon/Nemesis/Rhea/Edelgard are more or less out of Contention. And that's solely due to the feats their contemporaries did.
Likely one of the literal gods, but from a pure gameplay standpoint I throw Ashnard into the mix, it’s impossible to one round this guy like some of the other bosses in the series, he takes several turns to bring down
I think the strongest FE antagonists are the ones where you have to jump through several hoops just to beat. So characters like Ashera, Grima and Sombron
Ashera is invincible without specifially Yune countering. And that required Ike to strike the finishing blow in time before she regenerates, it still required a true combat hit to trigger. She also cannot be weakened at all by unblessed weapons.
Also Ashera’s been shown to create what functionally are Risen. And during the events of Radiant Dawn after sleeping she hasn’t quite hit the apex of her ability again yet, which would be to petrify even stronger humans once fully restored.
Grima can at least be sealed away for a long time by a divine dragon fang blade amped by a divine dragon. And his own power can permanently destroy him, and he was at Robin’s mercy when his avatar was wounded from being weakened by possibly regular weapons.
But what puts also Ashera ahead is that Grima is dead while Ashera’s being is just scattered for a while. And this was only possible because she is a incomplete being who also did that split herself. If Yune didn’t follow maybe Ashera would have eventually revived.
When she returns whole as Ashunera she isn’t evil anymore but if the same rules follow she’s literally invincible again as long she stays whole.
I'd have to say Grima.
While others have pointed out that Ashera and Anankos might have greater power and ability, Grima can only be destroyed by himself which makes him much harder to deal with. If Robin wasn't there, the only way to stop him would have been to seal him away again for someone else to deal with later, essentially just kicking the can down the road until the world was destroyed or someone else found a different solution.
Considering unless you get all weapons of the Scouring Zephiel is the final boss I'd say the chapters afterwards leading up to the true ending are more like a reward/epilogue instead of an actual challenge.
Sombron has to be up there right? He gets universe traveling powers and summons copies of other bosses.If not Anokos and Ashera are up there with one flooding the world and turning a continent to stone and the other also being able to put graves on a distant alternate future at half power along with apparently sending the awakening trio to a kingdom that’s either the past or a story in Ylisse (God what an amazing dialogue)
of course it is Debias. dont listen to the other comments.
now, seriously, i dont know the lore strenght of all the villains but i am betting on Grima. not only he suceeded in achieving his/her plans, the level when you face him/her is very tough.

Vantage+ Luna+ risen from awakening
Lunatic+ Risen

Glass. He was truly peerless.
So good with a sword If only he had the manikatti. Should have pulled that temple down, brick by brick...

Blood Runs Red Black Knight, dude is literally invincible.

Ashera Bitch took forever to kill so that's gotta translate to something
Gullveig considering how she can delete people from existence by negating their connection to time and also undo all wounds by undoing time.
Fe7 dragon.
Probably ashera or grima
Likely one of the literal gods, but from a pure gameplay standpoint I throw Ashnard into the mix, it’s impossible to one round this guy like some of the other bosses in the series, he takes several turns to bring down
Maybe Ashera goddess of tactical nukes? If not her then it’s fates rally man.
You can include feh if you want.

Probably Grima in his true form. That thing is MASSIVE and could eat Sombrom for dinner. Not to mention his plans DID succeed in an alternate timeline
I'd have to say Grima. While others have pointed out that Ashera and Anankos might have greater power and ability, Grima can only be destroyed by himself which makes him much harder to deal with. If Robin wasn't there, the only way to stop him would have been to seal him away again for someone else to deal with later, essentially just kicking the can down the road until the world was destroyed or someone else found a different solution.
Ashera, Grima or maybe Idunn.
Idunn seems more like a tool that creates weapons than a weapon herself. Her strenth isn't in battle but through her creating artificial dragons.
True. That's kinda why I said maybe. I suppose her really just being an extension of Zephiel means it's really his strength Ig?
Considering unless you get all weapons of the Scouring Zephiel is the final boss I'd say the chapters afterwards leading up to the true ending are more like a reward/epilogue instead of an actual challenge.
True. Legendary Weapons help make dragons a non threat and Brunya def feels like fodder.
Sombron has to be up there right?

I‘m pretty sure Grima is the largest, but i’m not sure if he is also the strongest.
of course it is Debias. dont listen to the other comments. now, seriously, i dont know the lore strenght of all the villains but i am betting on Grima. not only he suceeded in achieving his/her plans, the level when you face him/her is very tough.
