Best Aether Spirits Explained by Rank

SS Tier Aether Spirits

Aether Spirits by Ranking
SS Tier	S Tier	A Tier	B Tier

Aether Spirit	SS Tier Ranking Explanation
Warp Trotter	・Exceptional AoE healing due to its Skill. When its Ultimate effect is active, it can generate Skill Points and heal allies when using its Basic ATK. ・Only known Aether Spirit that has four expansion chip slots.
Silvermane Lieutenant	・One of the best DPS in Aetherium Wars due to its Talent that allows it to counterattack when enemies attack shielded allies. ・Provides a lot of shielding with its Skill and Ultimate.
Voidranger - Trampler	・Another exceptional DPS with high single-target damage. Its Skill can be used to quickly take out minor Aether Spirits in battle. ・Due to the Voidranger: Trampler's Talent, it can keep attacking as long as it defeats an enemy.
Frigid Prowler	・Really strong DPS unit after buffing itself using its Skill. ・The Frigid Prowler's skill can drain the HP of adjacent allies to heal itself and gain a lot of DMG. It can be paired with any of the Shadewalkers to tank the HP drain. ・Can deal huge amounts of AoE DMG with its Ultimate. It also has a chance to freeze enemies.

S Tier Aether Spirits

Aether Spirits by Ranking
SS Tier	S Tier	A Tier	B Tier

Aether Spirit	S Tier Ranking Explanation
Silvermane Soldier	・Can constantly buff the entire party by increasing all allies' DMG, DMG RES, and SPD. ・Best paired with the Silvermane Lieutenant due to the shield the Silvermane Guard provides using its Skill. Allows the Lieutenant to counterattack frequently.
Entranced Ingenium - Illumination Dragonfish	・Inflicts enemies with DoT using its Skill. Best paired with DoT-focused Aether Spirits such as the Aurumaton Gatekeeper.
Aurumaton Gatekeeper	・A great DoT-focused DPS due to its Talent, allowing it to enter Sanction Mode. Sanction mode drastically enhances the DMG of its Basic ATK, and allows it to inflict some DoTs. It also summons 2 Illumination Dragonfish during this state. ・Aurumaton Gatekeeper loses its viability when not in Sanction Mode.
Silvermane Cannoneer	・Silvermane Cannoneer is a unit that is highly dependent on its allies due to its support-focused abilities. ・Best paired with the Silvermane Lieutenant since the Cannoneer also does a follow-up attack whenever the Lieutenant counters.
Blaze Out of Space	・Great AoE DPS due to its Skill and Ultimate. Its skill can be used as a single-target attack if there's only one enemy in the field. ・A great unit to use in the early parts of Aetherium Wars, specifically in Victory Zone: Corridor of Fading Echoes.
Entranced Ingenium - Obedient Dracolion	・Its Skill can heal a ton of HP for a single ally at the cost of its own, which can save allies at very low HP. ・Talent is a one-time self-revive that you can reset using its Ultimate. This comes in handy when it gets knocked out or if its Skill is used too much. ・The Warp Trotter is a better healer in general due to it having AoE heals.

A Tier Aether Spirits

Aether Spirits by Ranking
SS Tier	S Tier	A Tier	B Tier

Aether Spirit	A Tier Ranking Explanation
Vagrant	・A good support Aether Spirit that provides an extra turn for an ally using its Skill. It also buffs everyone's ATK using its Ultimate. ・Action advancement is not really a priority in Aetherium Wars since battles don't have a turn limit.
Voidranger - Reaver	・Its Skill has a high damage multiplier and gives it Advance Forward, which helps it do another turn. ・Talent refunds energy when the Ultimate kills a target, which means you can use the Ultimate repeatedly as long as it kills the target.
Voidranger - Reaver	・Its Skill has a high damage multiplier and can hit another target at random, which helps clear multiple enemies. ・Its Ultimate allows it to take two consecutive turns, which is helpful when you need to burst down a target quickly.
Abundance Sprite - Wooden Lupus	・Its Skill immediately activates DoTs on the enemy, which is amazing for teams that include Illumination Dragonfish and Aurumaton Gatekeeper. ・Its Ultimate can summon a Shadow Jackhyena, which can also apply DoT to the enemy thanks to its Talent.
Imaginary Weaver	・Skill is great for hitting multiple enemies while also boosting the damage of its next attack, which synergizes well with its Talent. ・Ultimate deals heavy single-target damage and can easily be boosted using the Talent, which makes it lethal against squishy enemies.
Incineration Shadewalker	・The Incineration Shadewalker's Skill allows it to reduce the damage it receives, making it a tanky Aether Spirit.
Everwinter Shadewalker	・Another tanky Aether Spirit similar to the Incineration Shadewalker. ・Its Ultimate can be used to disable an enemy since it has a chance to freeze them. However, it only has a base chance of 50%.

B Tier Aether Spirits

Aether Spirits by Ranking
SS Tier	S Tier	A Tier	B Tier

Aether Spirit	B Tier Ranking Explanation
Silvermane Gunner	・A single-target Humanoid DPS that will barely be used in combat since the Silvermane Lieutenant exists. ・The Silvermane Gunner can temporarily be used during the early stages of Victory Zone: Corridor of Fading Echoes while you haven't unlocked the Lieutenant.
Automaton Spider	・The Automaton Spider's only useful ability is its Ultimate since it deals damage to enemies but gets downed afterward. ・The explosion caused by its Ultimate will deal more DMG if the Automaton Spider's health is lower. It doesn't do much damage if you use it when its health is full.
