I think effectiveness (or lack there of) of Ddraig & Albion's Original Abilities may have something to do with their individual "styles."

Albion - Supremecy


 * Albion always stands above others by out-manuevering them and undermining their attempts to confront him. His [Reduce] Poison and subsequent [Divide] & [Reflect] abilities reflect this almost perfectly. Albion's "Supremecy" revolves around "cutting down others to elevate himself."

Ddraig - Domination


 * Ddraig always stands above others by overpowering them and crushing them at their best. His [Blazing Inferno of Scorching Flames] and subsequent [Boost] & [Penetrate] abilities reflect this. Ddraig's "Domination" is all about "elevating himself to overcome others."

Neither of their original abilities (Poison & Flames) could harm each other because, while they seek the same result, their natures and methods are complete opposites. They each "cancle out" the other.

Their original abilities couldn't harm Ophis or Great Red either because:


 * Ophis - She is "Infinite." You can't "cut down" ([Reduce]) or "overcome" ([BIoSF]) what can't be quantified.

As for why Ddraig's [BIoSF] worked on Trihexa, a being on par with Ophis & GR, it is only on par "in terms of power." It is just a mass of primal, destructive power in the shape of a giant chimeric beast. It is "quantifiable" and is "definitely there." This would stand to reason that Albion's [Reduce] would work on Trihexa as well.
 * Great Red - He is "Dreams/Illusions." It is "there, yet not." It is something that can't be "cut down" or "overcome."

So I would say that if Ddraig or Albion used their original abilities on Crom Cruach, he would DEFINITELY be screwed. Because Crom isn't a manifestation of something "unquantifiable" or "intangible", he is just a Dragon who clawed his way to Heavenly Dragon-Class with just Basic Dragon Abilities: his Body, his Fire Breath, and his Dragon Aura (magic or ki? Or something else?)
