Are you one of those who think that the supreme emperor Ains Ool Gown is the strongest? Well sorry to bust your balls but the light novel says something different. Today we rank the top 10 strongest Overlord characters.
Being a power fantasy with RPG game elements, Overlord has no shortage of strong characters in its storyline.
From a massive mountainous golem that can level a whole city with one stomp to a cute loli that can massacre a whole city with a flick of her wand, Overlord is full of crazy strong characters but this begs the question, which among them is the strongest?
After reading the light novel Overlord, Let’s go through all the details, skills, and feats of the characters in Overlord and see who is the strongest among them. Anime-only watchers beware because this can be overrun with spoilers.
The Overlord Season 5 is also set to be announced soon, so an eye out!

10) Lupusregina Beta
We are starting off our list with a werewolf Waifu, Lupusregina who is a battle maid and member of Pleiades Six stars which is the name of the battle maid squad of Nazarick, and she was created by the player Mekongawa.
Lupusregina is designated as a supporting character in Pleiades Six and she is a battle cleric that focuses mostly on healing magic.
As a beastman Lupusregina can transform into a werewolf when needed to make her combat power reach its maximum but this has some downsides like she is weak against silver-type metals and this decreases her overall defense.
Lupusregina’s main weapon is a black and silver colored huge scepter that looks like a huge club hammer.
Her stats, skills, and level are all as follows;
- Class: Battle cleric
- Race: Werewolf
- Level: 59
- Main skills: Healing-type magic
STATS
- HP:53
- MP:45

So do the stats and her battle experience make her worthy of placing here in the strongest Overlord Characters ranking?

Aura Bella Fiora is a dark elf and the twin sister of Mare Bello Fiore and was created by the player Bukubukuchagama.
He is a beast tamer that can control magic beasts and is the Guardian of the 6th floor along with his sister Mare Bello Fiore, making him one of the Overlord’s strongest characters.
Aura on his own isn’t really strong, in-fact he can be considered the weakest floor guardian if we consider his combat prowess solo and the thing that makes Aura a scary foe is the beasts under his command, Aura has command over numerous beasts as high as level 90 and this makes Aura extremely strong in group combat.
Aura’s main weapon of choice is a bow named “To your Heart”, the bow lets him shoot incredibly fast arrows that set targets to fire upon contact

1) Rubedo
Finally, we have reached the end. A character who is not Ainz being the absolute strongest might be surprising to people who didn’t go deep into the light novel of overlord.
But the information the author revealed on Rubedo is vague and short and we can only consider her to be the strongest Overlord character as Rubedo is explicitly stated as the strongest in Nazarick.
