Who would necessarily being the strongest characters as of now?

Theos trained them for that very purpose

Because feats trump any statement? I can say I can blow up the moon but I can’t back that up that it’s worthless

You will never guess where those feats came from.
If you are going to say that feats are more important then developer statements, then at the very least don’t be using feats that are in themselves developer statements.

The statements is Arthur is the strongest human but no feat in the lore or shown back this up

Arthur lost to durza.

Theos beat an even stronger Durza and in old age Durza had to get Prometheus because he couldn’t beat theos and that Prometheus lost.

But a more impressive feat? The peace keeper preblessing beat Durza and Zeus at the same time. Granted this Durza was weaker then prime Theos durza but combined the fact Zeus was mixed in and the peace keeper proceeded to only get stronger with a blessing and solo a living hades they would indeed had surpassed Theos

Yeah but at the same time, durza is never shown actually beating arthur in terms of actual strength.
In terms of their actual battle yes he won, but he didn’t win due to being stronger, so you can’t rely on that for feats either.

Just like someone already said, it’s not exactly about him being tired, but him losing will to fight. He just stopped dodging and sat down waiting for his death because everything he had built was destroyed. It’s may be a bad example, but lets say you save-scam a game and end mission without completing it because you have failed at following specific circumstances without achieving which you just don’t want to continue. Something like that, but he had no option to go back. Besides, I doubt he really valued his life after living for over thousand years.

As for Theos, Durza feared him more than Cursebeard because he was capable of slaying above average curse users without being one at all. Up to the point that even Cursebeard respected him. So I assume this feat excludes using tricks like devourers and the only other person to be confirmed to do so other than Theos is future Silas.

I suppose that’s fair though Arthur still lacks feats to beat a theos at his best.

These points are fair though for Silas. End game Silas has no feats since they don’t exist, yet. The most we know is they won’t fight wotan though this alone doesn’t mean we’re weaker just never get to a situation they fight

And when you don’t have feats to rely on then that’s when I would say you rely on developer statements.
Either way, what we do know is that arthur did beat a living prometheus without his curses (but to be fair both sides did have multiple other strong people) and older theos tied in a fight against undead prometheus. It all comes down to whether you think that being younger is better than 4 curses.

I wish we knew more on the war on Olympus because that’s a rather important event but we know next to nothing

End Game Silas’s scaling entirely relies on a 6 year old statement made by Tech in 2020 (EUGH!!), saying that he will turn out to be stronger than Big-PK (Maybe by using God Souls?)

Yeah that seems worthless. The story has gone through so many retcons

Does Silas have the potential to be a top tier character? Sure they certainly have the legacy for it but we’ll get there when we do

To be fair, he is currently getting set-up to have a whole bunch of God’s shoved into him. With Athena saying that there are “More Gods in the Dark Sea somewhere” (Something along those lines) (Although if no one goes to the Dark Sea during the story, how is that supposed to work?) we might as well just turn into the walking Olympus Mons.

Also it depends on how we exactly deal with the Aberration and the Dark Sea, Athena says that multiple gods are needed for both of those, but how are they exactly going to do it while inside us?

Either just partially manifesting them into existence by sheer willpower (Which would make it not count as a Silas feat) or the Gods giving Silas power (A Silas Feat)

Right now Silas is a walking ball of potential and we’ll have to see how that’s tapped into

We will gather 6 god souls and the soul of every human in the War Seas. Then, with their combined power, we will finally achieve our true form, cleanse the dark sea, before releasing everyone’s souls and returning back to dust.

Let’s hope that Silas gets something special for his 1 year anniversary that’s around 9 months away in the story.

As much as I hate to say it. Morden likely has more potential than Silas. Theres a 9/10 chance he’s a legacy just like us and he has a curse and curses are needed to be top tier unless you’re theos of course

The problem with Morden is that - The man is going to die. Curse Possession could happen at any point in the Story and we wouldn’t be able to help him much when that happens. Depends on if Vetex “Took Inspiration” from JJK or not.

Oh he’s 100% going to die but whatever/whoever possesses him is going have a field day with his body.
