The Shiny Rod and Noir Rod:
- The Shiny Rod when overpowered is capable of performing the Moon feat that got Chariot rejected from using the rod, a High 6-A feat. That much is already accepted. But this was still used with an incomplete Shiny Rod as Shiny Chariot never unlocked the final word of Arctarus or gained the Grand Triskelion. In the final episodes, Akko does complete the Shiny Rod by unlocking all the words of Arctarus and fusing it with the Grand Triskelion. By the end she states it is working at "max power". Thus, this would make it marginally more powerful than Chariot's moon feat.
- Professor Croix creates the Noir Rod, which emulates the Shiny Rod's abilities to convert positive emotions and dreams into magical energy, based on the data she collected from it, but instead using negative emotions like rage and despair. She seems surprised that she managed to gather this much energy making it superior to anything she's built before in the past. Further backing this up, the energy the Noir Rod has absorbed is too much for her absorption devices to handle and they blow up when they've reached their breaking point. She compares the overcharge of power it has directly to Chariot's moon feat. It's important to note that even though the Shiny Rod was at "max power", it was still not capable of fully exceeding the speed of the Noir Rod and required Shooting Star to do that in full. It's also important to note that brooms require magic energy to work, as evidenced by Akko's lack of ability to ride a broom because her magic was absorbed, and everyone being unable to activate their brooms in a place that was devoid of magic energy. The Noir Rod's power was higher than the complete Shiny Rod at the time prior to the last boost by the nation's emotions. The Noir Rod never uses spells directly aside from duplication, meaning that all of its energy goes into its physical strength.
- Despite this, Akko was shown to have been capable of surviving a hit from the Noir Rod thanks to the physical strength she gained from the Blessed Robes, which are blessed by the Nine Olde Witches, powerful witches from the Golden Era of Magic. Akko says as much that she feels more powerful after having worn them. This is further evidenced by Diana taking a similar hit from the Noir Rod later on in the fight while wearing the same robes. This would mean that everyone who has worn the Blessed Robes downscale physically from the Noir Rod, whose power is comparable to Chariot's moon feat. It's also stated that riding a broom takes a lot of stamina in-verse, the Shooting Star broom even more so. The fact that Akko was able to ride the Shooting Star directly after taking a hit like that is a feat on its own. So in conclusion, Blessed Robes users and the Noir Rod should be at least High 6-A.
