He seems by far the most powerful darkin. He overshadows old Aatrox a lot too. I wouldn't even say he could defeat Renekton in old lore but now I may give him chance to Xerath lol.
How strong do you think the World Ender?
I rate him more powerful than Nasus and Renekton, but less powerful than Xerath.
It depends on how Riot feels day to day.
One minute, the Darkin are so weak that their invasion of Runeterra results in their entire race being wiped out and the last 5 being humiliated by being trapped in their weapons.
The next minute: the Darkin are the greatest threat Runeterra has even known, and will surely bring about the Apocalypse itself.
There is no consistency to the Darkin's power level, just as there is no consistency to what the Darkin actually are (Weapons or wielders? Daemons or aliens? Lore exists to support all of these contradictory positions).
We will only know how powerful the Darkin are if the lore team ever decide to create consistent lore, which they haven't yet bothered to do.
In the mean time, the power level of the Darkin will depend purely on whether Riot have a new Darkin to sell to Little Timmy.
Idk man old aatrox seemed pretty damn powerful. Powerful enough to fill entire armies with enough rage to overcome their enemies at the brink of destruction? Powerful enough to appear in the midst of a battle and completely turn it around, completely changing the course of history? Powerful enough to literally survive every single great war in the history of runeterra and be hailed as both a hero and demon through stories of great battles for as long as written history exists in runeterra? Literally a god of war that is indestructible? Pretty damn powerful if you ask me.
Just see his title.
I mean, I always liked to think of The Darkin as an extinction-level threat right up there with The Void.
he cant beat zoe, so he is atleast less powerful than her, which means that any god character would be stronger. even if he is capable of killing gods, its already evident that gods in league have different power levels. he also considers jax a worthy opponent according to his interactions, so how powerful is jax?
honestly i think they are kind of overestimated. the first darkin war there were alot more than 5 darkin, and all EXCEPT 5 got wiped out. those 5 being the strongest got sealed away instead of destroyed. there is no reason to believe that zoe cant just seal them away again or flat out destroy them herself. but besides zoe there are too many powerful beings in runeterra currently for them to ever succeed in their goal where as before there was really no one to stand in their way. i dont see all 5 of them standing any chance against all of the aspects + illaoi + the nation of demaci + the nation of demacia + the nation of ionia and etc.
all that being said, its really hard to gauge champion power level even in lore. Theoretically Veigar and syndra have the POTENTIAL to be the post powerful beings in that respected universe because their power infinitely grows.
