The Dragon Ball series has never shied away from making power go off the charts, but Dragon Ball Super took it to the next level with the introduction of the Gods of Destruction—entities powerful enough to erase whole universes with a thought. These universe titans aren’t merely powerful; they’re completely eccentric, both in looks and personality. Some are calculating and merciless, some are laid back to the point of laziness—but they all have the right to destroy worlds.

So which of these universe-destroying gods is combat-ready, and who’s going to take flight? Here are all twelve Gods of Destruction ranked from most benign to most who redetermine the term “overkill.”

12. Iwan (Universe 1)

Iwan’s more cuddly than catastrophic. Universe 1 may have the highest Mortal Level in existence, but Iwan himself is far from crying “intimidation.” He’s got a gentle, friendly aura and is never really seen throwing his weight around. In group battles, he quickly gets pushed to the sidelines—manhandled by brasher gods like Quitela and Rumsshi. As a destroyer, Iwan’s more of a peacekeeper than anything else.

11. Arak (Universe 5)

Arak is deliberate and careful, more apt to outmaneuver than annihilate. He treasures his universe’s stability, which makes him a reliable deity—but perhaps not an intimidating one. He’s demonstrated some fighting skills, like energy attacks, but he doesn’t appear to be someone who delights in combat. His reserved demeanor and lackluster performance in team battles leave him at the bottom of the power rung.

10. Liquiir (Universe 8)

Liquiir certainly seems intimidating with his fox-inspired appearance and energy attacks fired from multiple tails. He even hand-divided his tails into nine for a barrage-style attack. But during battle time, his performance is lacking. His attacks are ineffective on the powerful gods, and he is almost knocked out by one projectile from Heles. A showy appearance does not necessarily translate to firepower.

9. Giin (Universe 12)

Giin is rather a tech-head than a fighter. With Universe 12 boasting a well-advanced civilization and a solid Mortal Level, there isn’t much left for him to destroy. For this reason, Giin appears disconnected from fighting. He avoids the God of Destruction fight altogether, and when he fights, he fails to make a notable presence. His attitude does not match his performance in real battles.

8. Sidra (Universe 9)

Sidra is unpredictable. He’s got great defensive skills—his energy shields can absorb even an attack from Beerus—but he’s also timid and too careful. His universe is one of the lowest in Mortal Level, which indicates his nonaggressiveness as a destroyer. Yet when it comes to standing the line, few are as durable as Sidra.

7. Heles (Universe 2)

Heles has style and destruction in equal proportion. She has an Egyptian goddess-inspired appearance, deadly accuracy, and a robust magical arsenal. She’s fashionable and confident, albeit occasionally a tad too arrogant. Even then, she holds her own in combat, coming close to defeating Liquiir with a single arrow. Heles doesn’t merely have style—she has it backed up with power.

6. Champa (Universe 6)

Champa is Beerus’s twin, but the similarities only go as far as looks. He’s less concentrated, more lazy, and way more interested in grub than in doing what he’s supposed to do. That being said, his raw strength remains staggering. His brawls with Beerus are so damaging that they can destroy entire solar systems. If Champa ever actually tried, he’d be at the top of this list in no time.

5. Mule (Universe 3)

Mule may not look like much at first sight, but don’t underrate him—he fights from within a huge, muscular mech called Mosco. This cyborg armor enables him to fight shoulder-to-shoulder with gods such as Beerus, and it takes a combined effort of several destroyers to hinder him. Mule marries brains with guns, and he is a wild card that few would care to take directly on.

4. Rumsshi (Universe 10)

Rumsshi is a literal giant, and his signature move—the Battle Roar—is a game-changer. His shout can paralyze multiple destroyers at once, giving him an edge few others can replicate. He made a serious impact in the destroyer battle until Beerus shut him down. With the element of surprise on his side, Rumsshi’s roar makes him one of the most dangerous gods in sudden confrontations.

3. Quitela (Universe 4)

Don’t be misled by the rodent-like appearance—Quitela is among the most cunning and skilled gods in the multiverse. He is a master manipulator, frequently influencing others instead of taking matters into his own hands. However, when it’s time to fight, he can hold his own with the best of them. He stood his ground in the Zeno Expo, lasting longer than many others. Brains and brawn make Quitela a force to be reckoned with.

2. Beerus (Universe 7)

Beerus has been the standard bearer since day one. He’s a couch potato who enjoys a nap, but if he chooses to fight, even the strongest fighters falter behind him. His battles with Goku only tapped into his real strength, and among his fellow gods, he’s regarded as one of the best. Beerus only goes full-on on rare occasions, which serves to strengthen the aura of mystery surrounding his full power.

1. Beyond Destruction: Angels and the Grand Priest

While the Gods of Destruction are frightening enough, the real power brokers are the Angels. Characters like Whis and Vados have trained the gods and are on a completely different plane. Whis himself has said that if Beerus is a 10, he’s a 15. And the Grand Priest—the father of all Angels and technically the strongest fighter in the multiverse, as per the manga. When these guys arrive, the destroyers step aside as well.

The Dragon Ball Super power structure is always shifting, with more characters, forms, and dangers on the horizon. Nevertheless, the Gods of Destruction are still a crucial element in what makes the world of the series feel so large-scale. Whether you’re rooting for the sloth-like genius or the strategic terror, one thing is certain: in Dragon Ball, there’s always someone stronger on the horizon.
