In the city of Orario, everything comes down to the group one chooses to join. Though every god offers the same “gift” in theory, all Familias aren’t equal. An organization can have more money than another, more powerful members making it easier to go deeper into the city’s dungeon, or simply be an all-around better place to be.
This list will be analyzing which are the most powerful Familias and sticking to the anime, which means there could be a guild from the light novel that is not present. At the same time, this list will certainly spoil people if they aren’t completely caught up on the storylines.
10 SOMA FAMILIA
Ranking dead last among all of these is the Soma Familia. They’re a “successful” business thanks to Soma, who focuses largely on creating his perfected alcohol. Because Soma doesn’t seem to care about anything other than that, his Familia falls behind.
Their Captain is a mere level two, and Hestia was able to swarm his home base without being instantly crushed with a small number of people helping her. They’ve begun working on their guild again, but since they’re business-focused rather than exploration, catching up won’t be easy.
9 APOLLO FAMILIA
This group was run by Apollo, a creep with a horrible habit of forcing people to join his guild. Roughly one hundred members strong, they challenged the Hestia Familia to take their member Bell from them. Filled largely with level one and two adventurers, they were hoping for numbers to help them more than anything.
But after Bell leveled up and hit level 3, along with help from three new members and one close friend of their Familia, the Apollo Familia was easily crushed.
8 TAKEMIKAZUCHI FAMILIA
Not necessarily stronger than the Apollo Familia, they’re here because unlike Apollo, they still exist. The organization is made up of a collection of orphans that were taken in by Takemikazuchi.
However, they’re quite skilled in overall combat, and the only thing holding them back is that they’re a small, relatively new guild. Made up entirely of level twos, they’re a good sight away from the stronger guilds.
7 HESTIA FAMILIA
It’s difficult to place this group any higher than this. They defeated the Apollo Familia and gained quite the sizable estate for their operations, but they’re still made up of only a couple of people. Largely, they have only three proper adventurers.
The only thing they have on their side is that they also have Bell, who can level up quickly. He’s reached level three in the anime already, and we’ve seen him fight on par with people of a higher level with the help of fellow Familia member Sanjouno’s magic.
6 HERMES FAMILIA
While in the series Hermes often comes off as more of a character about being comedic relief, his Familia is no joke. On the contrary, the Hermes Familia happens to be a sizable organization. None of their members are below level 2, and a few of their members are level 3 or higher.
Their captain is a level 4, and most recently they added a member of a fallen Familia to make them stronger. Though they're far from a heavy player, the information and respect they command make them reputable.
5 HEPHAESTUS FAMILIA
The Hephaestus Familia isn’t seen very frequently in combat. As one might assume from the patron in question, they’re supposed to be best known for making weapons. But they aren’t only that—members of the Hephaestus Familia are incredibly powerful.
Their strongest member Tsubaki is a level 5. They also possess twenty smiths that are level three or stronger, meaning they’re easily above most groups in terms of power.
4 ISHTAR FAMILIA
This Familia doesn’t exist anymore, but when they did it was one of the strongest of all. They had over one hundred members in their group, most of them hovering around level three.
The collection of them are best known for their work in the “red light” district of the city, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t known for their work as proper adventurers. Their Captain is a level 5 with the power to crush most threats to the Familia. They’ve even successfully sued the city, so they’re not lacking on any level.
3 GANESHA FAMILIA
We don’t get to see much of this Familia. We’ve seen Ganesha, who mostly does joke bits for the anime series. But doing a bit of research, we’ve seen that this Familia is the biggest one in all of the city, and has the most high-ranked adventurers with eleven level 5s.
If they gave their allegiance to any one particular guild it would make for quite the shift in power.
2 LOKI FAMILIA
Led by an androgynous Loki, this is a Familia with incredible power. They hit the jackpot in terms of pretty much everything. They’re a massive guild, that makes plenty of money, and has a large number of high ranking adventurers.
They’ve got seven level-six members, and seem to have no problem gaining new members.
1 FREYA FAMILIA
The Freya Familia is the most powerful Familia in the city. They seem to have the largest Familia, with over a hundred members. The group boasts a number of level five and six members, and their Captain is the highest level adventurer in the city.
They’re powerful enough to have brought down the Ishtar Familia in just one night. With Freya having designs on Bell, this is clearly the group the Hestia Familia will eventually have to beat.
