Natsu
Sword Mastery (After his brief encounter with Suzaku on Elentear, Natsu was able to copy his movements and fighting style, and utilized those exact same movements against him in his fight with Suzaku in Dogramag's Labyrinth, while this is good evidence on its own we literally see Natsu use a sword in a reverse grip and land a perfect cut with it, so as silly as it is Natsu should get Sword Mastery scaling to Suzaku)

Awakened Power (Took his sweet time to perform one of these Capable of preforming a Unison Raid with Suzaku which scales to other users who have spontaneously done them before)

Limited Resistance to Durability Negation (Natsu's Fire Dragon King Scales were unable to be cut by Suzaku's Dragon Slaying Magic, making him resistant to the dura negating effects of Dragon slayer magic which bypass Dragon scales)

Resistance to Sealing (Resisted Dogramag sealing him inside his Labyrinth)

Another Justification for his Accelerated Development, (Natsu's growth rate shocked even the likes of Suzaku as he shouldn't have become as strong as he did within such a short period of time)

Dogramag
limited Invulnerability (With his Dogra cores, both him and his labyrinth are protected by a special magic from damage, however the less Dogra cores there are the less effective this magic is)

Sealing (Capable of Sealing people deep within his Labyrinth, where they are unable to move or breathe)

Danmaku (Flung Dozens of Rocks at Natsu using his Earth magic)

Weapon Creation (Can use his magic to create large stone fists that wrap around his own arm)

Martial arts (Capable of over whelming Natsu in hand to hand combat)

Resistance to High Temperature (Both his physical body and his Earth Magic, were unable to be burned or melted by Natsu's flames which scale above 200,000,000C)

Resistance to Power Nullification (his Earth Magic was unable to be burned or melted by Natsu's flames which burn magic)

Limited Resurrection (not combat applicable; Capable of reviving himself by eating a dragon heart which created a new body for himself over 100 years)

Suzaku
Awakened Power (Capable of preforming a Unison Raid with Natsu which scales to other users who have spontaneously done them before)

Resistance to Sealing (Resisted Dogramag's sealing him inside his Labyrinth)

Resistance to High Temperature (Withstood a direct attack from Natsu's and Ignia's flames which scale above 200,000,000 C)

Haku
Power Modification (His plush doll magic affects not only the person but their powers as well, as even summons like Lucy's Celestial Spirits got turned into plushies despite not being directly affected by the magic.)

Thread Manipulation (Can manipulate Yarn to trap his opponents, attack, and create plushies to subdue them)

possibly Resistance to Transmutation, Soul Manipulation, and Power Modification (As a dragon slayer Haku should be resistant to his dragon slayer abilities)

Misaki
Resistance to Reality warping, Time Manipulation, Paralysis Inducement, Telekinesis, BFR, Pocket Reality Manipulation, and Spatial Manipulation (As a dragon slayer, Misaki should be resistant to her Dragon Slayer abilities, shown to be unaffected by the paralyzing effects and time manipulation of Blue Dimension)

Ignia
Stealth Mastery & resistance to Extrasensory Perception (Neither Natsu, Suzaku, or anybody else in the Labyrinth could sense Ignia's arrival or his magic power despite using magic right next to them until he wanted to be noticed)

Danmaku (Ignia can create dozens of fire orbs to shoot at his enemy)

Aura (Just the ambient heat of his attacks alone can cause the surrounding area to become super heated and was even capable of burning Kiria's skin)

Kiria
Non physical interaction and Power Nullification (Her Blade Dragon Slayer magic allows her to cut magic itself. This means she can cut Ethernano which are intangible atmospheric particles.)

Laxus
Instinctive Action (His body will move on it's own to protect his guildmates even when under the effects of Kiria's mind manip)

Gray
Now as for Gray, we recently got a bit of information regarding where he sits in terms of his stats in the current arc as it's no shock to everyone the he is lacking in feats, due to not fighting anyone note worthy this arc. In a semi recent stream on Hiro Mashima's official Youtube channel he answered a question from a fan asking this and Hiro gives an interesting response:

So based on the the intent of the story is for Gray to be as powerful as Natsu. Now some may try to debunk this by saying "Death of the Author." However looking at the small amount of feats Gray has in the Labyrinth arc. There is a minor implication that supports Gray scaling to this level. That being his intention to fight Misaki. After Erza had been knocked down from the fist blue stream attack, Gray was planning on taking charge and attack. This is after he had already commented that Misaki and Erza scale to the likes of Guildarts and Laxus respectively. Gray never once says that he'd be unable to fight against Magic that strong only that it was incredible. Now some might say that that Gray was hesitant to fight such a foe however that was more due to the nature of Misaki's magic as both Gajeel and Gray didn't have a way to defend against such a technique. So we know that Gray is at least somewhat hesitant to fight against Laxus level opponents, which makes sense, but is at least confident enough to engage someone on that level in combat alone.

So where does that leave us, well considering that Base Gray would scale below the DDSKs it seems fitting that Base Gray scales to Base Natsu who is below that as well but can still fight against people on that level. Considering that his Devil Slayer Mark is unknown in how much it increases his stats, giving it a higher will likely work here.

So there we have it Base Gray = Base Natsu which is consistent within the story and fulfills the author's comment about Gray being comparable to Natsu.

We can add this to intelligence, but I would not call this Sword Mastery at all
Awakened Power (Took his sweet time to perform one of these Capable of preforming a Unison Raid with Suzaku which scales to other users who have spontaneously done them before)
Yep
Limited Resistance to Durability Negation (Natsu's Fire Dragon King Scales were unable to be cut by Suzaku's Dragon Slaying Magic, making him resistant to the dura negating effects of Dragon slayer magic which bypass Dragon scales)
Actually yeah, this works. Dragon Slayer Magic is specifically designed to bypass a Dragon's Scales and do serious damage to the actual body of the Dragon, but Natsu's Scales are able to block the attacks and protect Natsu's body
Resistance to Sealing (Resisted Dogramag sealing him inside his Labyrinth)
I suppose this is fine, it is a form of Sealing
Another Justification for his Accelerated Development, (Natsu's growth rate shocked even the likes of Suzaku as he shouldn't have become as strong as he did within such a short period of time)
This is fine
Dogramag
limited Invulnerability (With his Dogra cores, both him and his labyrinth are protected by a special magic from damage, however the less Dogra cores there are the less effective this magic is)
Yeah, this is basically what the Dogra Cores do
Sealing (Capable of Sealing people deep within his Labyrinth, where they are unable to move or breathe)
This is technically a form of Sealing, yes
Danmaku (Flung Dozens of Rocks at Natsu using his Earth magic)
Yep
Weapon Creation (Can use his magic to create large stone fists that wrap around his own arm)
Not sure this is technically "Weapon" Creation
Martial arts (Capable of over whelming Natsu in hand to hand combat)
Yep, he got the nice hand to hand
Resistance to High Temperature (Both his physical body and his Earth Magic, were unable to be burned or melted by Natsu's flames which scale above 200,000,000C)
Yep
Resistance to Power Nullification (his Earth Magic was unable to be burned or melted by Natsu's flames which burn magic)
Ehhhhhhh, not sure this is valid
Limited Resurrection (not combat applicable; Capable of reviving himself by eating a dragon heart which created a new body for himself over 100 years)
I thought this was specifically because of Elefseria's heart and not actually Dogramag?
Suzaku
Awakened Power (Capable of preforming a Unison Raid with Natsu which scales to other users who have spontaneously done them before)

Resistance to Sealing (Resisted Dogramag's sealing him inside his Labyrinth)

Resistance to High Temperature (Withstood a direct attack from Natsu's and Ignia's flames which scale above 200,000,000 C)
These are all fine
Haku
Power Modification (His plush doll magic affects not only the person but their powers as well, as even summons like Lucy's Celestial Spirits got turned into plushies despite not being directly affected by the magic.)
Yeah, this looks good
Thread Manipulation (Can manipulate Yarn to trap his opponents, attack, and create plushies to subdue them)
Yep
Likely Resistance to Transmutation, Soul Manipulation, and Power Modification (As a dragon slayer Haku should be resistant to his dragon slayer abilities)
"Possible" is better, but in general, this is fine
Misaki
Resistance to Reality warping, Time Manipulation, Paralysis Inducement, Telekinesis, BFR, Pocket Reality Manipulation, and Spatial Manipulation (As a dragon slayer, Misaki should be resistant to her Dragon Slayer abilities, shown to be unaffected by the paralyzing effects and time manipulation of Blue Dimension)
I suppose this is fine
Ignia
Stealth Mastery & resistance to Extrasensory Perception (Neither Natsu, Suzaku, or anybody else in the Labyrinth could sense Ignia's arrival or his magic power despite using magic right next to them until he wanted to be noticed)
Hmmmmmm, maybe
Yep
Aura (Just the ambient heat of his attacks alone can cause the surrounding area to become super heated and was even capable of burning Kiria's skin)
Yep, Natsu should have this as well TBH
Kiria
Non physical interaction and Power Nullification (Her Blade Dragon Slayer magic allows her to cut magic itself. This means she can cut Ethernano which are intangible atmospheric particles.)
I think she already has these?
Laxus
Instinctive Action (His body will move on it's own to protect his guildmates even when under the effects of Kiria's mind manip)
Yep
Gray

I'm ok with the notion of Base Gray = Base Natsu and possibly having Devil Slayer Gray = FDKM Natsu

Regardless of what we feel, Hiro said that Gray is supposed to be as strong as Natsu. Now we don't know which forms of Gray and Natsu that he specifically means, but based on what we saw of current Natsu and Gray, I believe he means Natsu and Gray's performances during the Labyrinth Arc are meant to be equal. I definitely don't think Hiro means Gray = Dragon Force Natsu or anything like that, but him being equal in Base and FDKM feels solid.
 
Everything looks fine except for Sword Mastery. Some form of Minor Sword Skills on his profile might work, especially when combined with his use of that fire blade in Tartaros
 
Agree with everything except Sword Mastery, VERY Neutral on Gray scaling to Natsu on a semi-canon statement.
 
Semi-canon? This is directly from Mashima, about as canon as it gets
Ok but I'm still iffy since Gray being willing to fight Misaki isn't enough IMO to warrant scaling to Base Natsu.

Remaining neutral until other people input.

Btw this would upgrade X793 Levy to 5-B+ due to her one-shotting Sai, so she'd be 5-B+ while Gajeel would probably stay High 6-A

Fair enough
Not sure this is technically "Weapon" Creation
the term weapon is incredibly broad, we could just put a minor in front of if that works
Ehhhhhhh, not sure this is valid
Natsu couldn't burn the Magic protecting the walls or Dog's actual body, which I believe would be resistance in this case.
I thought this was specifically because of Elefseria's heart and not actually Dogramag?
That's why it's limited
"Possible" is better, but in general, this is fine
fair
Hmmmmmm, maybe
would a possibly or likely work?
I think she already has these?
surprisingly not

It's fine then
Natsu couldn't burn the Magic protecting the walls or Dog's actual body, which I believe would be resistance in this case.
That's fine then
That's why it's limited
I see, that's fine then
would a possibly or likely work?
Nah, it's fine on it's own, I just remembered we gave Zeref the same thing
surprisingly not
Then we'll fix that
 
Should we scale Base Gray to Base Natsu but scale Devil Slayer Mark Gray to Erza/Misaki level since Gray was confident enough to take her on?
 
I honestly think Devil Slayer Gray could upscale to Baseline 5-A and potentially scale to FDKM Natsu based on what we know
 
Cause Hiro says Gray should be as strong as Natsu, who uses FDKM in the Labyrinth Arc. Just feels like Peak Gray should be as strong as FDKM

I dunno, just seems valid
Ehh...

Gray being confident enough to take on Misaki despite clearly knowing her power level (so this isn't like OP where people are confident when challenging people who they don't know are out of their league) seems like better support for 5-A DSM Gray.

Honestly, I'll be incredibly happy if we get 5-A Gray, I just want it to have good backing.
 
Can I have the scan for Gray being confident in fighting Misaki?
It was literally mentioned in the OP as a support for Gray's upgrade.

And in a series where people can sense how strong the other person is (like Gray sensing Misaki was comparable to Laxus and Gildarts), confidence in taking on said enemy while not perfect is far more reliable than in other series.

He also literally saw her beat down Strongest Armor Erza.
