The world of Black Clover is divided into four different kingdoms: the Clover Kingdom, the Spade Kingdom, the Heart Kingdom, and the Diamond Kingdom. As expected from the name, most of the series takes place within the Clover Kingdom, which features some of the most powerful mages considering how well they've matched up against mages from other nations.

The mages are split into rigid categories that are supposed to determine their level of strength, but this isn't exactly true. Not all their strongest mages are made into Captains, and they don't all belong to the best Magic Knight guilds. There are plenty of mages there who are incredibly powerful that come from all the guilds at every level.

10 Nacht Faust Is A Vice-Captain With The Strength Of A Captain

Nacht Black Clover

Nacht Faust had the strength to do whatever he wanted, including breaking the law. But what he wanted was to prove he was the rightful heir to the Faust family. He tried summoning a high-tier demon and as a result lost everyone else in his family. Despite this, Nacht has the power of multiple demons on his side, boosting his strength and making him near impossible to defeat, even by demons of a higher-tier. Nacht seems to be at the level of Magic Knight Captains, even though he’s only ranked as a Vice-Captain in the Black Bulls.

9 Julius Novachrono Has Mastery Over Time

Julius Novachrono established his incredible power a long time ago. The few times he’s been in the show he’s easily defeated others. His obsession with spells makes sense, as he likes seeing them and understanding what they can do. At the same time, he’s not the fighter he once was, having sacrificed several years of his life to come back to life. He’s younger, but doesn’t have the same reserves of mana, but has way more experience.

8 William Vangeance Is The Strongest Member Of The Golden Dawn

Despite having her back against the wall several times in the series, she’s yet to admit defeat. She was able to hold her own and fight several Clover Kingdom mages boosted with elven mana. Most recently, she’s trained enough to fight a massive demon without help from any of the other Clover Kingdom mages, proving that her strength is monstrous.

6 Charlotte Roselei Has The Power Of Two Different Thorn Magics

Charlotte Roselei was one of the strongest members of the Clover Kingdom’s royal army. She’s relied on her briar magic, blue roses that happened after she was cursed. She was a middle of the pack Magic Knight Captain, but she experienced a power increase recently. Now she has control of the True Briar Magic, which returned the color of her roses. With stronger magic, she’s become more dangerous than before, competing with one of the Heart Kingdom’s strongest demons, Megicula.
