User blog comment:Mangetsu20/A Slayer's April Fool's! (FT - 479)/@comment-5914413-20160402153241

Lets give it a try to be a bit more creative with the spriggan. First, use Ajeel his sand to create monsters to fight, followed by Invel using his ice-magic to hide the monsters from sight in a fog. Use Jacob his transport magic to rapidly deploy the troops while switching them around on an almost constant base so that the opponent never knows how much enemies are coming from a specific angle.

If Invel didn't want to work together with the others, could also use his ice-magic to skewer the entire army of his enemy, then there is also the option of reflecting light with his ice-magic so that you don't even need fog to hide the troops, he can create an army of ice-soldiers that can fight for him and if he is indeed supposed to be at least as strong as Brandish, he might even be able to single handedly freeze the entire city to the core, killing them by turning them into ice-popsicles.

Jacob his spatial magic could potentially erase the entire city, or he just stores the guild in his pocket dimension, kills them instantly and then leaves the rest of the town to his fellow spriggans as he seems to be the least suited for fights against multiple opponents and more suited for single targets as his assassin magic hints at ( still weird name, i agree )

Apeel could basically use the same strategy as Invel with the exception of the reflecting light to turn invisible so that might be boring...

So why not bombard the entire city with his sand blades from the air,  swallow it from below with his ant lion pit or blow his sands of death through the city?

The blades can skewer anyone hit by it, the pit can place the city underground, crushing everyone and everything by the sheer pressure underground or just filling the body with sand and the sands of death were said to mummify whoever touched it as it would dry the receivers body from the inside out. Heck, now that i am at it, why not create tentacles made of sand for filling every citizen up with sand, killing them in the proces and making them his mindless slave that he can control? If they can still use their magic in that state then he can basically destroy the entire country with the inhabitants of the country that is getting destroyed. Even if they lose access to their magic, give them a weapon and you essentially have a zombie army to damage morale of your opponent while trying to cut them down at the same time.

Then we can also just let Dimaria freeze the battle-field while bradman uses his unnamed magic to kill everyone without even moving ( the description of his magic reads like some kind of blood-magic ) as their blood will be drained, essentially killing them in a rather clean way.

Hell, Dimaria alone with her age seal can basically freeze the entire area and then killing them on her own. If she wants to let them experience pain, or kill them through pain, her age scratch might do the trick with a bit of planning. Same goes for Bradman, just send him to the enemy and his magic will kill them without even having to touch them. Depending on how that magic works, his targets might not even have to be near Bradman or in his line of sight to be killed.

Lets not forget about Brandish, use her mass manipulation and prepare for instant death of the entire guild. If she is supposed to be strong enough to destroy entire countries fast enough that the witnesses believe that her targets simply disintegrated, then a simple city should be simple enough. Throw in Wahl and it should already be game-over for the enemies. The robot has access to anti-matter weapons, etherion (which is stated to be a nation destroying magic in the tower of heaven arc! ) and can essentially remove every single magical barrier before firing of etherion. Hell, just let Wahl remove any barriers, let Brandish use her magic to shrink the town and be done with it if you want to be lazy with it. Then there is also the option of flying upwards and then firing of Etherion towards the town, destroying the barriers protecting it and call it a day. Then there is also the anti-matter beam, 1 gram of anti-matter and 1 gram of matter combined is estimated to generate 3 times the strength of the hiroshima bomb and he can fire that at something in the form of a laser? Good luck in finding a protection spell or barrier that can tank that much damage in such a concentrated form.

Not even Erza her Adamantine armor, which is described as the ultimate high level defensive stance could survive that. It barely survived that jupiter cannon, a weapon that was blocked barehanded by Ajeel, a spriggan. Fairy Sphere might be able to protect against it, but that would essentially remove magnolia from the equation anyways as they are trapped in stasis, only to be killed after the stasis is released.

Serena ( which i still find a dumb name for him ) had a lot of potential when looking at his several slayer magics, and the descriptions make him seem even more powerful as he was made out to be the strongest mage of the entire continent. His sea king magic grants him free reign over water, his cavern magic supposedly grants him total control over the earth, letting him not only create but also alter the earth. His purgatory magic is supposedly hotter then normal fire slayer magic, and his gale magic allows him access to wind and those are just 4 of them. With the sea king one, he should be capable of either flooding the entire country a la Atlantis or just killing by utilising the water in or around the victims. With the cavern one, go do some terraforming and you can essentially destroy a country that way. If his Gale version is supposed to be as strong as the others, he can basically choke an entire country to death or ravage it in other ways with his control over wind. Oh and his purgatory mode, which seems to be his weakest form so far allows him to incinerate the entire area. So, incinerating, drowning, choking or demolishing are all available options when taking it easy or just being lazy in general with him ^_^

Lets not forget about August, the spriggan who is supposed to possess every single element of magic there. And yes, i know that they said he has the ability instead of possessing every element of magic, but it boils down to the same thing, he can either take control of your magic and make it useless or counter it and make it useless. In both cases, he can make magic useless against him. So where to start with him if he indeed has all that power... He could crush bones, implode his targets, infecting them with deadly diseases, destroy or control their mind, alter time, enhance sensations and killing through an overdose of feelings, and those are just a few of the possible options with the old man.

Do we even know Neinhart his magic or is he just forgotten all together by Hiro at this point?

So, how did you like the possible ways for the spriggans to win the war? Although i admit got a bit lazy with the last two spriggan where we actually know the magic of.

Oh and another thing i just though of, why the hell are they called the spriggan 12 if there are only 10? First thought i was missing some, but there are only 10 instead of 12 spriggan. Even if you add Zeref as a spriggan, there are still no 12 spriggan.
