Nen is special energy produced by the living things in the Hunter X Hunter universe. Any individual can learn to harness this energy and use it to aid their purposes. Though anyone can use Nen, it usually takes a huge amount of training to do so, with only true geniuses being able to use Nen without training.
Nen abilities can manifest in many different ways and they fall into 6 various categories: conjurer, emitter, enhancer, manipulator, transmuter, and specialist. This power system is one of the best in anime and this list will highlight the 10 strongest users of Nen:
10 SHAIAPOUF'S NEN
Shaiapouf has exceptionally strong Nen, even for a chimera ant. It's so strong that it causes even strong fighters to break down and submit in front of Shaiapouf. Shaiapouf's Nen grants him a variety of abilities such as sprouting big, beautiful wings.
When these wings flop, they shed scales and through these scales, Pouf can read the emotions of those who come in contact with his scales. Pouf factors this into the intricate plans that he tends to sit around and think up. Pouf also has another ability that allows him to split his body into miniature versions of itself. Each version has its own autonomy which makes it a very useful ability for recognizance.
9 MENTHUTHUYOUPI'S NEN
Youpi's Nen category is enhancer and, just like most enhancers, his Nen ability greatly augments his physical capability. His Nen ability turns him into a killing machine, as he has the ability to transform and manipulate any part of his body.
With this, he can produce additional limbs, organs etc, making him fit for all types of combat. This, combined with his limitless Nen output, physical durability and power, makes even a single blow from Youpi potentially fatal.
8 ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS
Gon's Nen ability allows him to add deadly force to his combative fighting style. Through concentrating his Nen in his arms, he can greatly enhance the strength of his attacks and these attacks usually takes on three forms: rock, paper or scissors. Rock is Gon's strongest ability.
He concentrates his Nen around his fist before striking with as much force as possible. With scissors, Gon concentrates the Nen around his fingertips which greatly increases his cutting power. Finally, paper is a longer-ranged attack where Gon discharges/propels his Nen at a target.
7 GODSPEED
Godspeed is the Nen ability of Killua Zoldyck. It is a transmuter type ability that takes the form of lightning. Godspeed is divided into two powerful applications. The first application is Whirlwind, which grants Killua inhuman reflexes. In this state, Kullua's body reacts automatically whenever he is in danger, making him extremely hard to hit.
This is done through using his Nen to send electrical surges to his muscles, making them twitch much faster, ensuring he reacts in time. The other application is his Speed of Lightning ability which greatly enhances his body control. With this, Killua is much more agile and quick, being able to cover large distances in little time.
6 ZENO'S NEN
Zeno, much like his grandson, Killua is a talented transmuter. Zeno's aura, usually shaped in the form of a dragon, packs a lot of destructive force. Zeno is known for mixing his natural transmutation Nen with emission Nen and, with this, he can launch his dragon towards his opponent.
His aura is strong enough to easily destroy buildings with one hit. His Nen can be used in a variety of ways, granting him the ability to be a great fighter at both close and long-range. At close range, he can use his Dragon Head to take apart his opponent and at long range he can launch a number of deadly projectiles.
5 BUNGEE GUM AND TEXTURE SURPRISE
Hisoka's Nen abilities are designed to confuse an opponent in battle, and Hisoka himself tries to confuse his opponents when they try to understand the truth behind his ability. Hisoka takes great pleasure in the confusion his powers cause and often strikes within those moments.
His Bungee Gum gives his aura sticky and malleable properties, making Bungee Gum a very flexible ability that can cover a large range of uses. It is durable enough to use for defense while also being sticky enough to trap an opponent on offense. With Texture Spice, Hisoka can create illusions by applying different textures to his aura. This can be used to hide his wounds during fight, which often confuses his opponents.
4 KURAPKA'S NEN
Kurapika's Nen is one of the more interesting Nen abilities in Hunter X Hunter, due to the unique limitations placed on it by Kurapika. With his Nen ability, Kurapika can summon a chain. Though it seems small and innocuous, the chain is powerful enough to easily shatter boulders.
The chains have great maneuverability and Kurapika has practiced until he's reached a level where he can manipulate them at will. Kurapika's chains can easily ensnare an opponent and, when he gets them in that position, he can unleash his strongest attack, Judgement Chain. This ability wraps a chain around a person's heart and if they do not do as Kurapika commands it strikes their heart.
3 SKILL HUNTER
Chrollo is infamous for his exceptional Nen abilities and is considered prodigious, even amongst the greatest of Nen users. His ability takes the form of a book called "Bandit's Secret".
In this book, he can keep the stolen abilities of other Nen users. This gives Chrollo a bookful of different Nen abilities that he can use whenever he pleases. This has turned Chrollo into one of the strongest fighters in the Hunter X Hunter world, and his flexible style means that he'll continue to be a threat for a long time to come.
2 100-TYPE GUANYIN BODHISATTVA
Isaac Netero spent much of his life dedicated to training. This greatly increased his Nen ability and, eventually, he became a master of his fighting style. In his life, Netero was believed to have developed many different Nen Styles, but his strongest was considered his '100 Type Guanyin Bodhisattva'.
When Neterou uses this ability, a Guanyin Bodhissittva manifests behind him and every time Netero wills it, this giant creature hits his opponent with tremendous force at great speed. Netero can use a varying number of these hands with the force and speed of the attack increasing with each additional arm.
1 AURA SYNTHESIS
Mereum was the chimera ant prince. As a being with immense power, Mereum could easily defeat most of the lifeforms in the Hunter X Hunter world. His Nen is of an exceptional power which gives him the ability to increase itself by feeding on other beings with Nen.
When this happens, the Nen he receives from his victims combine with his own to make him even stronger. This can even result in Mereum developing a version of his victim's Nen abilities.
