Stamina: Superhuman (Has been shown to fight multiple opponents without resting and continue fighting despite taking severe and life-threatening injuries. Even after casting Thunder Palace and fighting Mystogan, he still had enough Magic Power to fight both Natsu and Gajeel simultaneously and release Fairy Law afterwards. He could survive a direct full-power attack from Hades without any Magic Power in his body. In his fight with Tempester, Laxus managed to survive inhaling many Magical Barrier Particles, which are noted for being deadly even in small doses. He survived living with Magical Barrier Particles inside his whole body for an entire year. Battled Wall Eehto even while his organs were severely damaged by Magical Barrier Particles. Fought against Erza in a prolonged battle and outlasted her in the fight, waking up first after being knocked out. Ripped out his Dragon Lacrima from his chest and kept fighting without issue. He can also eat lightning and other magics to restore his magic power and stamina)
Range: Several Kilometers
Standard Equipment:
*Headphones
*Dragon Slayer Lacrima
Intelligence: Gifted (A very skilled and mature leader. Laxus is an extremely skilled hand-to-hand combatant and magic user. He is strong enough to easily keep the upper hand against Natsu for most of their fight. He fends off both him and Gajeel simultaneously and strikes Hades in rapid succession, leaving the foe with no chance to counter. His fighting style is offensive, brutal, and straightforward, relying on a great variety of punches, kicks, and even headbutts, which are both strong and fast. Made a whole plan to take over the Fairy Tail Guild that almost successfully worked)
Weaknesses: Like other Dragon Slayers, Laxus is vulnerable to motion sickness due to his Dragon Slayer Magic; he will become severely nauseous if riding a moving vehicle. Laxus cannot eat the lightning created from his own Dragon Slayer Magic to replenish his stamina. Laxus cannot resist damage from the lightning that comes from Lightning God Slayer Magic and should also be unable to absorb it without first depleting his own. Fairy Law takes an immense toll on Laxus' stamina and can only be used against those he views as enemies. In addition, Fairy Law consumes its user's lifespan proportionally to the number of targets it is used on.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Lightning Magic=
Lightning Magic: Laxus’ signature Magic, over which he possesses great mastery. It allows him to produce and manipulate lightning and electricity at his will, having complete control over its manifestation. He can attack with a single or both hands to generate electrical discharges at a distance or close range. Laxus, with his great mastery of Lightning spells, can conjure electricity bolts that are either frail or hot enough to heat a metal arm or have devastating power. Laxus can generate lightning from his body and make it appear from anywhere to strike his enemies, surprising them. By generating electricity on different parts of his body, he’s capable of making his attacks in melee deadlier and propelling himself around to gain extra momentum. His lightning's bright light can also be used to momentarily blind enemies. Lightning Magic allows Laxus to turn his body into lightning to move, evade, and strike opponents quickly, and take or block lightning-based attacks without being hurt. After the year-long time skip, Laxus has grown powerful enough to effortlessly negate attacks from one of the Spriggan 12, Ajeel, later causing the need for him to be shielded by August from another raid in a massive explosion of electricity.
*Raging Bolt: Laxus raises his clenched fist in the air and chants "Resounding through the air, the roar of thunder, plunge from the heavens and reap destruction!". A large bolt of lightning will then descend upon the target. The full effect of this technique on an individual was not seen as Natsu Dragneel was pulled out of the way by Gajeel Redfox before "Raging Bolt" could connect with him.
*Lightning Body: Through the use of "Lightning Magic," Laxus is capable of transforming his own body into electricity, turning himself into a lightning bolt, whose size can vary from mere, fast-moving sparks to large pillars of lightning. Together with the signature intangibility of Elemental Magic, which allows Laxus to let physical and Magical attacks pass harmlessly through his body when he's transformed, this form also grants him some traits typical of natural lightning: he's shown to be capable of freely moving around at high speed and to travel over long distances, rapidly appearing at his destination from places away from sight as though as he was teleporting, as well as to electrocute everything crossing his path, with the voltage of his bodily electricity being high enough to wreak havoc throughout a large airship. However, Laxus only seems to be able to maintain this form while in motion.
*Thunder Palace: Laxus creates multiple "Lacrima" filled with large amounts of "Lightning Magic" and suspended in the air in a circular formation. When all "Lacrima" orbs are released, everything below and above their circle is struck by lightning bolts. This spell has been described as powerful enough to destroy the entire Magnolia Town if all the orbs are used. "Thunder Palace" is also highly dangerous to nullify, posing a great risk to those trying to dispel it. Suppose any "Lacrima" was about to be destroyed by an outside force; the attacker would instantly be electrocuted through "Organic Link Magic."

|-|Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic=
Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic: A magic that immunizes Laxus against lightning and grants him the traits of a Lightning Dragon, as well as the ability to consume his element from outside sources to heal and strengthen himself. His attacks, still based on electricity like his standard Magic, are very destructive; however, metal objects acting as "lightning rods" can redirect them, as shown when Gajeel used his "Iron Dragon's Club" to save Natsu from "Lightning Dragon's Heavenward Halberd." Laxus has kept his Magic a secret from his guildmates, even Makarov because he is tired of his grandfather's lectures. As it turns out, however, the Magic was actually implanted within him through his father's use of a Dragon Lacrima, as he was "frail" when he was younger, despite his magic potential. This classifies Laxus as a Second Generation Dragon Slayer. Laxus' Dragon Lacrima was created from the heart of the Lightning Dragon King, Elexion. During his fight with Kirin, Laxus removed the Dragon Lacrima from his own body and devoured Elexion's soul, replacing his previous Second Generation Dragon Slayer Magic with a new Fifth Generation Dragon Slayer Magic.
*Lightning Dragon's Roar: Laxus' version of the trademark "Dragon Slayers" attack, he generates lightning in his mouth. He releases it in a concentrated, destructive blast, capable of destroying everything in a wide area in front of him. In addition to causing serious damage, this attack paralyzes the target, leaving them numb and unable to escape Laxus' next attack. By moving his head around as he casts it, he can also employ this spell in an arched trajectory to hit enemies that aren't directly in front of him. Unlike most "Dragon Slayers," Laxus can perform "Dragon's Roar" without special preparations, making it faster to use. He used it against Hades and Flare Corona.
*Lightning Dragon's Breakdown Fist: Laxus gathers a large amount of lightning around one of his fists, bends the arm and then extends the fist forward in a punching motion. This prompts his Magic Seal to appear before him, from which an oversized version of his fist, wholly composed of lightning, is generated and rapidly fired towards the target. When it connects with the enemy, aside from inflicting damage upon them, the electricity stuns them, leaving them open to Laxus' subsequent attacks.
*Lightning Dragon's Heavenward Halberd: Laxus raises both hands in the air at his sides and generates electricity between their open, facing palms. This is rapidly shaped into the form of a massive spear composed of lightning, which Laxus proceeds to hurl at the enemy. According to Freed Justine, this spell is strong enough to kill a weakened Natsu, at least if it hadn't been redirected at the last second by Gajeel, who diverted its trajectory on himself with his "Iron Dragon's Club," using it as a makeshift lightning rod and thus taking the brunt of the attack. Gajeel was shown to be electrified on contact with the spear but, despite suffering heavy damage, managed to survive. The weapon generated by such a technique resembles a Ji, a traditional Chinese halberd, in appearance.
*Lightning Dragon's Iron Hammer: Laxus slams down on the ground creating a lightning explosion.
*Lightning Dragon's Jaw: Having knocked an opponent to the ground and then approached it, Laxus joins his hands and imbues them with a large amount of lightning. He then strikes the target down from above with his joined hands, causing grievous damage; the remaining electricity is discharged into the surrounding area, heavily damaging it and leaving both Laxus and the victim in a large crater. This technique is shown to be extremely powerful, defeating Tempesta, a Demon from the Books of Zeref and a member of Tartaros' fearsome Nine Demon Gates, in a single shot, and thus forcing the latter to unleash his Magical Barrier Particles.

*Roaring Thunder: Laxus charges forward and punches his opponent with a lightning-imbued fist which releases a large amount of lightning upon impacting the intended target, heavily damaging and electrocuting the target whilst also pushing them away with immense force. This is first seen used to defeat Jura Neekis.

|-|Red Lightning Dragon Mode=
Red Lightning Dragon Mode: After his fight against Wall Eehto, Laxus is capable of using the power of a Red Lightning Dragon. The dark-red lightning has been described as "lightning that goes beyond lightning". Aside from being more powerful, it has unique properties, as it killed Wall Eehto, a Machias who was immune to traditional lightning. Laxus also stated that blood makes the power of the Red Lightning, and Erza mentions it to be stronger than expected.
*Megaton: Red Lightning: The user creates a special kind of dark-red lightning with which they coat their fist before executing an empowered punch. This punch was so strong that it could One-shot Wall Eehto, despite Wall being nigh immune to lightning.
*Lightning Dragon King's Red Lightning: After devouring Elexion's soul, Laxus coats his fist in dark-red lightning and punches with the force of a Lightning Dragon King.

|-|Other Magic=
Fairy Law: A legendary spell and one of Fairy Tail's three great Magics. It is an extremely destructive light that attacks everyone the caster considers an enemy in a wide area. Laxus initiates this rare technique by releasing a large amount of Magic Power and shaping it into bright light between his hands. This light is released in a wave around him at the command, "Fairy Law, activate!" Laxus claimed to have mastered "Fairy Law." When employed by him, the spell actually engulfed the entire Magnolia Town with its light, going past the building Laxus was in and damaging it in the process. He attempted to use this spell against all of the Fairy Tail members scattered throughout the city and the citizens themselves during the final part of his battle against Natsu and Gajeel. However, despite being proficiently cast, the Magic failed due to Laxus still considering such people his comrades in his heart.

Jutsu Shiki: Laxus learned from Fried how to employ a Jutsu Shiki barrier after becoming infected by Magical Barrier Particles. Rather than using the spell as a defensive barrier, Laxus uses it to cancel out the effect of the Magical Barrier Particles within him that would otherwise inhibit his abilities.
