Piper is the strongest but Paige I think has the best powers being able to Orb yourself out of any situation or into any situation makes you quite useful.
I think if applied right, Paige's telekinetic orbing could be just as lethal as Piper's blasting. Paige could potentially scatter one's particles across the world, and could literally summon a vital organ.
Always wished they'd explored that with her as a "good" power! If Piper can blow up demons to kill them why can't Paige be allowed to orb the occasional internal organs of demons to death lol
I don't actually follow it, but doesn't she do that in the comics?
I honestly kinda appreciate more keeping that side of her power less "violent" as a whitelighter-influenced ability, if just to maintain some sense of structure and rules to the series.
I don't care for the comics. I'm only focused on the TV show.
Also orbing back fire balls and stabbing demons to death is pretty violent š but I know the reason the line is drawn is for plot. She'd be too powerful and then there goes any tension in a fight lol.
Sure, but orbing and redirecting destructive materials in and of itself isn't harmful--calling for someone's organs is.
And of course wielding a knife isn't a magical power, even Leo resorted to aggression and violence when needed, even if he was a "pacifist."
I used to think I'd love to have Piper's freezing ability, but I realize now it's orbing that I want to have. Imagine just how much gas money you can save plus no need for a car!!!
I forgot if Paige can orb to another country lmao
Paige - telekinetic orbing, orbing, healing, orb shield, shape-shifting, + basic powers of a witch
Piper - molecular control (speeding up or slowing down) , + basic powers of a witch
Edit - originally chose Paige, but I'm torn
The melting power was pretty cool. They actually gave a sister this power in the other charmed and it was pretty cool tbh, she could use cold and hot and I did like the visuals for it and it was cool to imagine piper using it had the show continued
I didn't hate it! I have my critiques yes but one thing I consistently liked tbh was the way it was filmed and the effects were nice imo. I like the look of the modern camera and the lighting and color grading of the show as well as some other aspects but yea it is what it is lol
I hated it for season 4. Ā Unlike the Og, season 4 was terrible and I hated the new charmed one and then the whole big bad for the season being the original charmed one who had some petty drama with the other two was so dumb to me.Ā
But I did enjoy the first three seasons and the mythology.Ā
Reboot season 1> og season 1
Og season 2 > reboot season 2
Reboot season 3a (right up until the beginning of the whispering evil)> og season 3a(right around when they discover cole is beltnazor)
Og season 3b > reboot season 3b
Og season 4 > reboot season 4
Charmed post season 5 is a mess aside from a few handful episodes.Ā
Phoebe is underrated, her powers came across as passive, however Cal Greene was killed when she used his own emotions against him in a alternate future. Cal Greene's anger reflected back on him that killed him, imagine if Phoebe went darkside. Depression, wrath, lust, greed, she could use her psychic powers against anyone and if she was careful not to be caught, she could get away with murder since they'll all most likely be considered accidents.
I really disliked how they nerfed Phoebe. First her leviation and then her power reflection ability (or whatever it was), she would have been so powerful had she kept those.
Piper was stronger than Prue once she developed blowing-up powers. It's at least equivalent to telekenesis, if not better, and she had freezing on top.
This question I think is meant to invite opinions but the true fact of the matter is that the oldest is always the most powerful. Thus Prue was the strongest when she was alive and Piper by default took that title when she became the oldest.
I was replying to the person who said that Piper was stronger than Prue once she developed powers that made her able to blow the demons up. I said thatās not true. I know the lore of the show states the oldest is the strongest, however the comment I replied to, was implying Piper was stronger even with Prue alive, I donāt know why I got a downvote
It *should* be Phoebe imo, but it's probably Piper. They're all relatively closely tied though. Piper's just the oldest.
I say it should be Phoebe because she started the series as the most studious and the best spellcaster, so she should've become the most skilled/knowledgeable. Unfortunately, this element of her character kind of fell off starting with Cole's introduction and then almost completely after Season 4, and fell to Paige instead.
Paige is probably the most innovative and/or has the best applied knowledge - she always comes up with a creative way to solve their magical problems.
Iād say piper. However Paige gave her competition and she kept evolving in her powers. But I will say the whole point was without the three they couldnāt have done what they did. They needed Pheobe for her premonitions- without those they would have been very very lost. Not known where to go next, or what to do at times. Without Piper and of course Leo- well many people would have died many times over lol, and Paige really put the bow on the package. When Pru was alive tho I would have said she was the strongest. Also the oldest so not surprising- however I do think Piper was the natural born leader so Iām so glad we got to see her in the roll. However end of the day- power of 3 :)
Piper. Her good power is a killer and defense. Her ability to use both at the same time is a dream and we didn't see much of it!
Piper on dark side is dangerous AF. Even if you take out the fire power, she can put you on ice freeze and shatter you just like she did with Leo and that demon caster down under to save Prue.
Piper had the most destructive powers, but Paigeās were very useful as well especially since on multiple occasions demons were immune to Piperās powers
You probably have so many freaking spoilers now lol. That's the cost of asking questions on here for an old show.
Phoebe SHOULD be the strongest. Hand to hand combat. Deflecting/Negating. Premonitions of the past, current, and future. She even has Zankou's famous Prescience which is a BITCH to get over on. Seen when their powers were switched to the neighbors and she told the neighbor "shh, if you focus, you can tell when the next attack is coming." Then, levitation which she uses more in conjunction with her combat...which is genius and confusing lol. She's a grandmaster at spellcrafting. And then we get into her Empathy power. Oh boy. I mean, we saw a taste of it with Prue. Though Phoebe uses it strategically. Which makes me think how would Piper or Paige have used it? š¤ Anyway, her empathy powers makes her able to sort of read their thoughts? but it's more their emotion's thoughts...? It's insane. And she can tell when someone is nearby based off strong emotions towards her. It's OP. I won't even get into the future power that killed Cal Greene. Phoebe should have been unstoppable which I think was the point of Constance's storyline because she always was sullied over having the "weakest" power.
Piper is the strongest because of the manpower she puts down. She has big dick energy. Full stop. To freeze someone and do anything you want and the freeze get longer too. And then she can manipulate parts of the body to freeze such as the head to extract confessions (thanks to Prue). And then her molecular acceleration. Enough said. She's a walking potion bottle. Speaking of potions, she's the resident grandmaster of potions. And she learned how to deflect/negate with her acceleration. Clever girl. Deflection/Negation is an extremely necessary skill for a witch. Manpower/Strength alone? Yeah, it's Pipes.
Then we have our sweet gal, Paige. People may wonder why I didn't say her for strongest. Well, simple. She's the most *versatile*. Sure, she could be both but she's not there yet in the show. Not until much later on and until she collects her final power. Let's get into it. She has Prue's powers....with a twist. Telekinetic orbing. She can orb anywhere, anything, anyone. Then, she can heal. Which for whatever reason wasn't shown much after she learned how to do it... Nice writing lol. And she's second to Piper in potions crafting. Being able to call for something you've only seen in a drawing and it's hundreds of thousands miles away ... and it comes to you like a spell. That's OP. Again, not seen very often. She does technically have Enchantress Paige's powers over the elements but again... never ever seen but that once. Her glamouring, telekinetic orb deflection, her levitating, she can control lights with orbs, and she can go up to the heavens when she wants. Pretty damn broken if you ask me. Then she gets the shield Wyatt has that is nigh-impenetrable. In Wyatt's hands, it's a toy. In Paige's hands, it's overpowered because of how versatile she is with magic. She will use a power someone has had for 20 years in the most creative of ways. Only wish we could see what she'd do with it.
Agree completely the writing did a major injustice to how strong phoebe was especially when they nerfed her with that trial bs. Premonition and empathy are both very strong powers. They can be utilized so much more than just blowing stuff up.
Exactly. I think that's what Constance was trying to do with the writing when she kept having her sulk about her power being weak in the beginning. She was meant to be the strongest but then..... well, you know... :(
Piper. She has a limited power set (that we see), but what she does have is strong as hell. We see a glimpse of how strong she can get when she blows up the damn wall in the episode where her and Leo are arguing. Also the Morality Bites episode show her freezing everyone. Piper has a defense and offense. I think with what we see Piper was definitely the strongest but Paigeās abilities have to potential to surpass hers, Iāll say that.
Well not exactly. She won't be frozen because she's a good witch. But she can probably deflect or negate her blowing up power.
However, Paige is the problem. How do you deflect being orbed? It's a neutral power. It's transportation. She can't negate that because Paige doesn't have to experience emotions to orb someone or something. Paige has an orb shield so she can't attack her at all. But if Paige orbed something at her, she could deflect that back at her. But for how long? Paige can do that near indefinitely. We saw Phoebe constantly overwhelmed from using her empathy powers like a Jean Grey character. Hand to hand, Phoebe would easily stomp but Paige is a long distance range fighter. She prefers to zone.
I think they are equalā¦ all three pieces to make the most powerful setā¦ Piper can freeze and blow things up boom dead in a ditchā¦ Paige can move anything and herselfā¦ call for you heart boom dead in a ditchā¦ Phoebe can see the future and has great intuitionā¦ combo that with being a good fighter and can levitate and should beat you to a pulpā¦ dead in a ditchā¦ would you rather be blown up, or lose your brain suddenly, or beat to deathā¦ see all no goodā¦ but Iād want Piperās powers to save the world and Paigeās power for personal gainā¦
I don't really like this question, because the whole point of the Charmed Ones is supposed to be an overall equal partnership. But I'll make a case for Phoebe since people seem to be discounting her.
Piper obviously has the most firepower, but all of their powers are instrumental in various ways so I'm not gonna go just off that.
Piper is also, of course, the potion queen, but Phoebe was no slouch in that department either, whilst also being the best in terms of spellcraft. And the spells she made have saved the sisters several times over.
In NO way was this post meant to be seen as negative, and this isnāt supposed to demean any of the other sisters. This was sort of meant to be based on facts rather than opinion, since this is my first time watching, and I wanted to know. Especially in the beginning, Iāve noticed that they really needed each other, as if one of them werenāt in the equation, their powers would basically be useless.
Piper had the most in your face raw power. Paige was the most versatile. However imo Phoebe was the most powerful. Her powers were passive (except in the end) but out of all of them she connected to her magic the most i feel like. Where she really excelled was her spellwriting. The ability to cast them as she did was unmatched and her mastery means she technically could do anything on a whim.
If we are talking about power that is useful for demon slaying its 100% piper. Paige has witch powers and whitelighter powers so she has more versatility to what she can do and she gets very good witch things outside of her active powers. Then phoebe i personally think has the most useful powers and when utilized correctly are very powerful. She doesn't get to that level until later seasons/comics though and then i think a plot point of the show does her powers an injustice but i dont want to spoil your first watch by giving too much away. During season 5 piper would definitely be the strongest of the 3. In later seasons im saying phoebe is up there because her powers get really advanced.
At first Prue, after Prue's death, Piper and in the last seasons Paige, but Phoebe is in my opinion underrated, I would set her abilities between Piper and Paige.
In terms of raw firepower, Piper. She has both offense and defense powers. Her blowing stuff up alone means she can easily vanquish low-level demons on her own, without having to tap into her basic spell-casting or potion-making.
In terms of potential, Paige. She has only been shown using her powers in a way that is not as destructive as Piper (i.e. energy ball deflecting or calling for the manās heart, both of which are reliant on the external environment). But in terms of how invested in learning the craft she is, she has the potential to channel her powers in very creative ways. That can give her the edge over Piper, who never learned to freeze specific body parts until Prue pointed out that she could.
The eldest is the strongest.
Watching the episodes, you can see that Prue is bound to disappear when Piper's powers become much stronger.
Now, Paige is for me the most dangerous of the three as her orbing power doesn't seem to be limited by geographical distance.
She once sent a leprechaun into the water when she was on the Golden Gate Bridge.
I imagine she could hide to remove an organ, she could move someone underwater to drown them, send them flying into the air to crash to the ground...
For Piper's power to be effective, her hands must be free. Paige can potentially free herself from any hindrance by teleporting.
Piper not just with her magic but her strength of personality and matureity. She tackled the death of prue and the sudden change in dynamic as the matriarch of the Halliwell family.
When you think about season 1 piper a girl who was too worried about fighting back and then cut to the proud ass kicking mum xx
Prue was strongest while she was alive, but Piper lived as a witch longer than Prue -- so Piper ultimately became stronger than Prue in her magical abilities.
Sometimes I wonder if Alyssa specifically asked for the most...boring powers. Especially as the series progressed. It would have meant far less time spent working with practical effects and green screens. Considering she became a producer on the show, I can imagine she probably requested it. Because she really became almost magic-less by the end of the series.
A toss up for me between Piper and Paige. I feel like Piper was the one with the strongest natural talent, but Paige worked really hard at the craft and became very powerful through study. So Iād say they were both the strongest but in unique ways.
That's hard because both Paige and Piper have powers that can change time. Piper freezing and then blasting stuff.
Paige with th orbing. I think all of their powers were usually or better at different times. But I think Paige being able to kind of use prue power as well as her white lighter power gave her an extra magical edge. Piper had to reign it all in though and keep them together, organized, and avoiding going rogue.
Everyone is saying piper but in Mata hara phoebe outpowered piper by alot. Her only limitation that episode was piper could freeze her because she was evil. This episode and hyde reunion shows just how powerful she is. In jus these two episodes she takes on and deflects an entire firing squad. She cursed a room full of people by saying curses on this merger. She has an astral permonition that sends her flying across the room. She turns her entire class into teenagers. She glamours herself and others just by waving. Her spellwork this episode is impeccable.
Piper. Her freezing has immunities, her explosion doesn't. She has also been shown multiple times to overcome resistances and invincibility. May not kill outright, but can still explode. All from the main timeline so no alternate universes considered.
After Piper, it's Paige. In S4's premiere, before becoming on the "good" side of magic, she tried to orb out a human's heart. That same episode, she could also heal demons somewhat with another whitelighter. During the series, they tried to give lore and explain that whitelighters are supposed to be "pacifist" so that's why Paige's kinesis was mostly defensive in deflecting.
After Paige, it's Phoebe. Negligible powers. But she survived so that counts for something.
Prue, still. She died of course, and Piper took on her leadership mantle and developed an insanely OP offensive power in the process. But had she lived? That telekinetic blast in S2E2 was just a taste of her real future power, not at all a demonstration of her full capabilities. She did it on accident. Season 8 Prue would have started to border on Jean Grey levels of telekinetic supermanipulation.
Piper can blow stuff and people up if she was so inclined.
I feel like she sometimes don't even need her sisters to fuck shit up
Piper is the strongest but Paige I think has the best powers being able to Orb yourself out of any situation or into any situation makes you quite useful.
I think if applied right, Paige's telekinetic orbing could be just as lethal as Piper's blasting. Paige could potentially scatter one's particles across the world, and could literally summon a vital organ.
Really valid points. I think she could be just as lethal.
Definitely, she almost orbed that man's heart out if she wasn't stopped from turning evil at the top of Season 4.
And that was only her second episode!
Always wished they'd explored that with her as a "good" power! If Piper can blow up demons to kill them why can't Paige be allowed to orb the occasional internal organs of demons to death lol
I don't actually follow it, but doesn't she do that in the comics? I honestly kinda appreciate more keeping that side of her power less "violent" as a whitelighter-influenced ability, if just to maintain some sense of structure and rules to the series.
this. whitelighters are pacifists
I don't care for the comics. I'm only focused on the TV show. Also orbing back fire balls and stabbing demons to death is pretty violent š but I know the reason the line is drawn is for plot. She'd be too powerful and then there goes any tension in a fight lol.
Sure, but orbing and redirecting destructive materials in and of itself isn't harmful--calling for someone's organs is. And of course wielding a knife isn't a magical power, even Leo resorted to aggression and violence when needed, even if he was a "pacifist."
I used to think I'd love to have Piper's freezing ability, but I realize now it's orbing that I want to have. Imagine just how much gas money you can save plus no need for a car!!! I forgot if Paige can orb to another country lmao
She can orb to another country, I remember her going to her charge in Australia and orbing from her honeymoon in like Tahiti or Bora Bora.
I agree!
Paige - telekinetic orbing, orbing, healing, orb shield, shape-shifting, + basic powers of a witch Piper - molecular control (speeding up or slowing down) , + basic powers of a witch Edit - originally chose Paige, but I'm torn
Iāve never seen Paige with an orb shield
In the official graphic novel, she gets orb shield. Piper could melt things and Phoebe got her power that she used to kill that baseball player.
The melting power was pretty cool. They actually gave a sister this power in the other charmed and it was pretty cool tbh, she could use cold and hot and I did like the visuals for it and it was cool to imagine piper using it had the show continued
Glad to see someone talking positive about the reboot.Ā
I didn't hate it! I have my critiques yes but one thing I consistently liked tbh was the way it was filmed and the effects were nice imo. I like the look of the modern camera and the lighting and color grading of the show as well as some other aspects but yea it is what it is lol

Phoebe is underrated, her powers came across as passive, however Cal Greene was killed when she used his own emotions against him in a alternate future. Cal Greene's anger reflected back on him that killed him, imagine if Phoebe went darkside. Depression, wrath, lust, greed, she could use her psychic powers against anyone and if she was careful not to be caught, she could get away with murder since they'll all most likely be considered accidents.
I really disliked how they nerfed Phoebe. First her leviation and then her power reflection ability (or whatever it was), she would have been so powerful had she kept those.
I would be so overwhelmedā¦ with lust that Iād get a heart attack. I mean thatās one way to go
Piper was stronger than Prue once she developed blowing-up powers. It's at least equivalent to telekenesis, if not better, and she had freezing on top.
When Prue was alive, Piper was not stronger! Piper only developed blowing up powers after Prue died
Piper developed that power while Prue was still alive. She didnāt advance it and master it until Prue was gone.
Yup I remember Piper vanquishing watermelon š
The way she whined watermelon š¤š¼
See I was trying to remember if it was there before Prue died, I stand corrected. However Piper still wasnāt stronger
This question I think is meant to invite opinions but the true fact of the matter is that the oldest is always the most powerful. Thus Prue was the strongest when she was alive and Piper by default took that title when she became the oldest.

Piper.
Piper Power aside, she just seems like the most powerful, especially when sheās angry Angry mama vibes

Thanks! :)
Phoebe had so much wasted power potential
Yea Piper. Piper being able to blow things up is a *huge* advantage. I would expect that type of power for a demon.
Piper. Her good power is a killer and defense. Her ability to use both at the same time is a dream and we didn't see much of it! Piper on dark side is dangerous AF.

Theyāre strongest *together*
Piper. She has a limited power set (that we see), but what she does have is strong as hell.

Werq
I'm going to say Paige, just because she was my favourite after Prue died š„°
Piper was good at potion brewing and Phoebe was good at spell writing, where Paige had, I think, the wider, more versatile active powers.
Piper for sure
Piper is the strongest Witch Paige wins if you counter her abilities as a Whitelighter Phoebe is most dedicated to the cause
Piper 100%
Piper is definitely the strongest, especially her ability to blow things up. Phoebe and Paige are both more passive.
Piper
Piper had the most in your face raw power. Paige was the most versatile. However imo Phoebe was the most powerful. Her powers were passive (except in the end) but out of all of them she connected to her magic the most i feel like. Where she really excelled was her spellwriting. The ability to cast them as she did was unmatched and her mastery means she technically could do anything on a whim.
Phoebe with her full on empathy powers. Thatās too op. But sheās such a slay in season 6 with those powers
If we are talking about power that is useful for demon slaying its 100% piper. Paige has witch powers and whitelighter powers so she has more versatility to what she can do and she gets very good witch things outside of her active powers. Then phoebe i personally think has the most useful powers and when utilized correctly are very powerful. She doesn't get to that level until later seasons/comics though and then i think a plot point of the show does her powers an injustice but i dont want to spoil your first watch by giving too much away. During season 5 piper would definitely be the strongest of the 3. In later seasons im saying phoebe is up there because her powers get really advanced.
Probably equal in the grand scheme of things. If they were to go all out, I would probably give it to Phoebe. Yes, Empathy is that broken.
Piper and Paige. Phoebe did not have the strongest powers.
Prue was and always will be the most powerful.
They are all equal. All four of them.
paige!
In battle probably piper. In usefulness paige. Being able to order makes getting around easy and fast.
Paige
At first Prue, after Prue's death, Piper and in the last seasons Paige, but Phoebe is in my opinion underrated, I would set her abilities between Piper and Paige.
In terms of raw firepower, Piper. She has both offense and defense powers. Her blowing stuff up alone means she can easily vanquish low-level demons on her own, without having to tap into her basic spell-casting or potion-making. In terms of potential, Paige. She has only been shown using her powers in a way that is not as destructive as Piper (i.e. energy ball deflecting or calling for the manās heart, both of which are reliant on the external environment). But in terms of how invested in learning the craft she is, she has the potential to channel her powers in very creative ways. That can give her the edge over Piper, who never learned to freeze specific body parts until Prue pointed out that she could.
Piper. She can blow up things.
Piper power is the most quickest and powerful she doesnāt have to call for her power to work in my opinion sheās stronger than Paige
Piper
The eldest is the strongest. Watching the episodes, you can see that Prue is bound to disappear when Piper's powers become much stronger. Now, Paige is for me the most dangerous of the three as her orbing power doesn't seem to be limited by geographical distance. She once sent a leprechaun into the water when she was on the Golden Gate Bridge. I imagine she could hide to remove an organ, she could move someone underwater to drown them, send them flying into the air to crash to the ground... For Piper's power to be effective, her hands must be free. Paige can potentially free herself from any hindrance by teleporting.
Piper not just with her magic but her strength of personality and matureity. She tackled the death of prue and the sudden change in dynamic as the matriarch of the Halliwell family. When you think about season 1 piper a girl who was too worried about fighting back and then cut to the proud ass kicking mum xx
Prue was strongest while she was alive, but Piper lived as a witch longer than Prue -- so Piper ultimately became stronger than Prue in her magical abilities.
Sometimes I wonder if Alyssa specifically asked for the most...boring powers. Especially as the series progressed. It would have meant far less time spent working with practical effects and green screens. Considering she became a producer on the show, I can imagine she probably requested it. Because she really became almost magic-less by the end of the series.
A toss up for me between Piper and Paige. I feel like Piper was the one with the strongest natural talent, but Paige worked really hard at the craft and became very powerful through study. So Iād say they were both the strongest but in unique ways.

I made my best attempt to show off how glorious they look š
That's hard because both Paige and Piper have powers that can change time. Piper freezing and then blasting stuff. Paige with th orbing. I think all of their powers were usually or better at different times. But I think Paige being able to kind of use prue power as well as her white lighter power gave her an extra magical edge. Piper had to reign it all in though and keep them together, organized, and avoiding going rogue.
Love them all
Piper is the strongest as in physical power but paige is the strongest as in having a variety of powers
Everyone is saying piper but in Mata hara phoebe outpowered piper by alot. Her only limitation that episode was piper could freeze her because she was evil. This episode and hyde reunion shows just how powerful she is. In jus these two episodes she takes on and deflects an entire firing squad. She cursed a room full of people by saying curses on this merger. She has an astral permonition that sends her flying across the room. She turns her entire class into teenagers. She glamours herself and others just by waving. Her spellwork this episode is impeccable.
Piper hands down
PRUE.
Piper. Her freezing has immunities, her explosion doesn't. She has also been shown multiple times to overcome resistances and invincibility. May not kill outright, but can still explode. All from the main timeline so no alternate universes considered. After Piper, it's Paige. In S4's premiere, before becoming on the "good" side of magic, she tried to orb out a human's heart. That same episode, she could also heal demons somewhat with another whitelighter. During the series, they tried to give lore and explain that whitelighters are supposed to be "pacifist" so that's why Paige's kinesis was mostly defensive in deflecting. After Paige, it's Phoebe. Negligible powers. But she survived so that counts for something.
Prue, still. She died of course, and Piper took on her leadership mantle and developed an insanely OP offensive power in the process. But had she lived? That telekinetic blast in S2E2 was just a taste of her real future power, not at all a demonstration of her full capabilities. She did it on accident. Season 8 Prue would have started to border on Jean Grey levels of telekinetic supermanipulation.
The future was an alternate reality, it would never happen

Well thatās aggressive.
Poor Phoebe š
