Bungie will forever be known as the developer who gave the world Halo, but for the past seven years they have put all their focus into Destiny, an FPS MMO which has had a troubled history. Even with all of its issues, Destiny maintains a hardcore fanbase filled with players who log in at least once a week, and they do this because they love the gameplay, the lore, and the characters who fill the world.
In Destiny, players assume the role of a Guardian, a resurrected Light bearer who can wield Arc, Void, and Solar energy, but the world is actually filled with hundreds of Guardians, all of whom are powerful. With that being said, there are certain Guardians in the game and the lore who stand above the rest in terms of strength, and this list will attempt to rank the strongest of them all.
10 Cayde-6
Every MMO has at least one character who is beloved by the vast majority of players, and in Destiny that character is without a doubt the Exo known as Cayde-6. The former Hunter Vanguard met his end in the opening mission of the Forsaken expansion, where he showcased his strength by taking on a small army of Skorn alone.
Cayde managed to survive the events of The Great Disaster, which saw thousands of Guardians perish to Crota and the Hive on the moon. When Ghaul stole the Traveler’s Light, Cayde took on a large number of Cabal alongside his fire team before eventually getting too injured to move.
9 Zavala
Many players are not fond of Zavala, but the Vanguard commander is simply trying to protect the remnants of humanity as best he can. No matter what subclass they use, Titans are insanely powerful, and Zavala is capable of using both Void and Ark energy.
Shortly after being named to the Vanguard, Zavala led his fellow Guardians into battle against a massive Fallen army, a battle that is famously known as Twilight Gap. Prior to the return of Saint-14, many considered him to be the strongest Titan alive, and seeing as his Titan bubble was strong enough to block a missile barrage from multiple Cabal ships, he might have been.
8 Ana Bray
The Warmind expansion finally introduced fans to Ana Bray, a hunter who is both intelligent and exceptionally skilled. Based on what she has done since her debut, Ana does not seem all that strong, but she is in fact quite powerful. In fact she may even be the strongest Gunslinger alive.
Ana fought at Twilight Gap, and when she ran out of ammo while trying to save a fellow Guardian, she activated her Golden Gun and incinerated a Fallen Captain and Baroness with two shots. This battle took place over 100 years ago, and the Light from her super is still present to this day.
7 Shin Malphur
The name Dredgen Yor is despised within the Last City because it was the name of a Guardian who turned away from the Light and created a weapon which he used to permanently kill other Guardians. Yor was eventually killed by Shin Malphur, a human who had been blessed by the Traveler’s light, which is why he became a Guardian without ever dying his first death.
Shin was a rogue Hunter who dedicated his life to eradicating all of Yor’s followers, all of whom were former Guardians who were armed with the same Guardian killing weapon, and after many years he finally completed his quest. Guardians do not fear dying, but these Shadow’s of Yor were terrified of Shin, and their fear is a testament to his power.
6 Saladin Forge
Thanks to SIVA the Iron Lords are all but extinct, but Saladin Forge continues to honor his fallen brethren by regularly holding the Iron Banner event in the Crucible. Being an Iron Lord means that Saladin is one of the oldest Risen/Guardians alive, and he helped to put down many of the original Risen who chose to become Warlords.
Saladin was a pillar during the Battle of Six Fronts where he prevented the Fallen from breaching the Last City’s southern walls, and he served as the top commander during Twilight Gap. He also defeated an Ahamkara in a one-on-one fight, and based on how powerful Riven was in the Last Wish raid, only a truly powerful Guardian could beat one of her kind single-handedly.
5 Lady Efrideet
Lady Efrideet is the only other remaining Iron Lord, and by all accounts she is likely the oldest and most powerful of the Hunters. Once the Warlords were put down, Efrideet decided to leave Earth to join a group of pacifist Guardians who lived beyond Saturn.
When SIVA was defeated for good in Rise of Iron, she decided to come visit Earth more often, and one of those visits occurred when the Red Legion attacked. It was then that Efrideet chose to become a fighter again, and she went on to single-handedly kill more than 200 Cabal without her Light, and she did this without sustaining a single injury.
4 Shaxx
Shaxx may have once been Lord Saladin’s student, but he was by no means weaker than his teacher. Shaxx was one of the first Guardians to be resurrected, and he went on to become a Warlord, but unlike the other Warlords, he actually cared for his people.
He was such a formidable foe that the Iron Lords sent Saladin, Efrideet, and Felwinter to slay him, and he slew Felwinter everyday for weeks until he finally agreed to bring his people to the Last City. If it was not for Shaxx’s quick thinking and ferocity on the battlefield, the Guardians would have lost the Battle of Twilight Gap, as he led the defensive charge through the Fallen ranks.
3 Ikora
Ikora is the Warlock Vanguard, a position she has held for over a century, and as far as the lore is concerned, she may be the strongest Voldwalker alive. She learned everything she knew from her teacher Osiris, who saw something in her during her days in the Crucible, but she also led a successful raid deep into Hive territory on the Moon , where she rescued a fragment of the Traveler.
Shaxx is one of the strongest Guardians alive, and has proven his strength time and time again in the Crucible where he has suffered just a single loss, and that loss was at the hands of Ikora.
2 Osiris
Every Guardian considers Osiris to be the strongest Warlock alive, and based on his accomplishments, it is hard to disagree with them. During the Battle of Six Fronts, Osiris used his echoes to fend off Fallen at each wall, and this act alone made him a hero and the first Vanguard Commander.
Osiris was so strong that he managed to survive inside the Infinite Forest when the Red Legion stole the Traveler’s Light, but he also managed to go up against Panoptes, the powerful Vex Mind who controlled the Forest, while he did not have his Ghost to heal and resurrect him.
1 Saint-14
As powerful as Osiris is, he is nothing compared to Saint-14, who is believed by many to be the strongest Titan to have ever lived. Saint was the original Titan Vanguard, and he rose to prominence by fighting several Fallen Houses, and he took down the Kell of the House of Devils in a one-on-one fight.
During Curse of Osiris, players learn that Saint-14 had ventured into the Infinite Forest in search of his friend, and in doing so he got trapped fighting the Vex for centuries. When it was all said and done, Saint had killed thousands of Vex by himself and they were only able to put him down after they created a Mind specifically to drain him of his Light.
