Lords of Cinder in order of power?

[Old Wizened Fingers]

If the lords of cinder were ranked in order of power and just generally who the strongest is who would go where?

Just to specify i mean lore wise, not who is the hardest boss.

Strongest: the one you beat last.
Weakest: the one you beat forst.

I mean this isn't really a question.

Yhorm would be the strongest, I can see him messing up any of the others without them having a storm ruler.

Also Abyss Watchers would be in second, as we only fight a few of them. They are a small army, and I'm sure at their prime, before they were corrupted from within, would be a true power to be reckoned with.

1 - Yhorm
2 - Aldrich
3 - Abyss Watchers
4 - Prince Lothric
5 - Ludleth

Yhorm is nearly invulnerable, his only weakness being a pair of swords (one of which he owns).

Aldrich has the power of the God of the Darkmoon, and possibly the original Lord of Death if we go by his design. He has a reputation for strength and also killed Smough, who was as strong as Gwyn's knights.

The Abyss Watchers are tough, but being human they're susceptible to Abyss corruption, which means they turn upon themselves. The Follower equipment hints at this.

Last two should be pretty straightforward.

This again?

Considering lore only.

Potentially Aldrich, but it's between him and Yhorm. I don't see why people deem Yhorm to be uber powerful, because even without the Storm Ruler it doesn't take much to fell him. Aldrich has consumed what we can only assume is a great many beings, including some very powerful (such as Gwyndolin), and with the uncanny ability to replicate or immitate their powers as well as others that he's 'dreamed' of... Aldrich (as depicted as a Seer in the comics), is rather powerful.

I'd say Yhorm comes second.

Prince Lothric. Technically not a Lord, as he never actually linked the flame, but he's more powerful than the Abyss Watchers clearly. He's a powerful sorcerer, and albeit almost entirely crippled, is still capable of movement through teleportation. His 'power' exceeds that of the Watchers.

The Abyss Watchers. I'm not sure what the explanation is behind their revival... and how they 'all' die when that main one does... but who cares, I doubt Fromsoft know why either. They're pretty pathetic admittedly... even though people 'feared' their coming... I just...

Maybe in their prime, when they were in fact an 'army' of Watchers, and weren't (we assume) partially consumed by the Abyss, but rather were fully capable... but we're concerning them AFTER they became the Lords of Cinder - at which point they're a pretty miserable group of failures.

Ludleth. I don't know where he'd rank here truly, because we never get to find out; but I'm going to assume he's the weakest. Considering his dialogue after you kill him... and the potentially true, but currently lacking in actual evidence, theory that he was the 'Soulfeeder'; and took upon himself the mantle of Lord of Cinder somewhat 'unofficially'. - i.e He wasn't the one supposed to do it, but did it regardless.

Interesting, i would have to agree with aldrich, i wonder where lorian would fall into all this.

If he were a lord, quite high; but he isn't (especially if it were Lorian before he shared Lothric's curse).
