I mean Hades should've curb stomped them into dust (Not a god tier character, but still powerful. The guy pretty much oneshot Makarov. They were also weakened when they fought him. I still call bullshit on eating the lightning)
BTW I think I was wrong. They would lose to the god tier characters if the plotline says they had to :lol
EDIT: Also comparing them to the likes of Erza, Mira, Mystogan, Laxus and Gildarts is a little unfair.
I mean Mira is super powerful, Mystogan and Laxus are one man army's, Gildarts is Gildarts and Erza has plot armor. Makarov also oneshot a fellow wizard saint in that arc, there was quite a bit wrong :lol
