All Aether Spirits and Best Chips

Humanoid Counter-attack Team

Aether Spirit	Expansion Chips
Warp Trotter	Saturated Activation Auto Repair Emergency Reboot Parallel Enhancement
Silvermane Lieutenant	Shield System Negative Load Algorithm Efficiency Optimization
Silvermane Cannoneer	Backstage Enhancement High Load-Low Speed
Silvermane Soldier	Attack Interception Safe Mode

Hook's Overlord Spirits are Mechanical type, so using the Humanoid Type Silvermane Guards can easily defeat them. Do keep in mind that the smaller spirits are Aberrant type, so you must constantly shield your party to survive.

Activate the Silvermane Lieutenant's Shields so that when it gets hit, the Silvermane Lieutenant will be able to counter-attack. Use the Silvermane Soldier and Cannoneer to buff up the Lieutenant and help him deal a huge amount of DMG.

Warp Trotter	Saturated Activation Deep Clean Auto Repair Parallel Enhancement
Aurumaton Gatekeeper	Backstage Enhancement Wind Shear Loophole General Upgrade
Abundance Sprite - Wooden Lupus	Efficiency Optimization Cleansing
Entranced Ingenium - Illumination Dragonfish	Malfunction Performance Allocation

A Mechanical DoT team is also viable thanks to their neutral typing and the ability to deal a lot of passive DMG. Apply debuffs using the Dragonfish and the Aurumaton Gatekeeper so that the Wooden Lupus can immediately trigger the available DoTs using its Skill.

Hook Championship Aether Spirits

Hook's Aether Spirits

Wave 1

Aether Spirit	Spirit Type
Automaton Grizzly - Lv. 6	Mechanical
Automaton Direwolf - Lv. 6	Mechanical
Imaginary Weaver - Lv. 6	Aberrant
Imaginary Weaver - Lv. 6	Aberrant

The first wave of Hook's Championship Battle includes enemies that can deal strong AoE and Single Target Damage. The Automaton Grizzly can even summon Automaton Spiders that will detonate if not taken care of quickly.

Wave 2

Aether Spirit	Spirit Type
Everwinter Shadewalker - Lv. 6	Aberrant
Frigid Prowler - Lv. 6	Mechanical
Searing Prowler - Lv. 6	Mechanical
Incineration Shadewalker - Lv. 6	Aberrant

Hook's last team has the Frigid Prowler as its main source of damage. The Shadewalkers act mainly as buffers for the Prowler's attacks, so it's important to take them down first and prevent taking more damage.

How to Beat Hook in Aetherium Wars

Wave 1 Strategies

Defeat the Imaginary Weavers First

To defeat Hook and her first team, focus on taking down the Imaginary Weavers first as they can deal a lot of DMG to one of your party members.

Prioritize the Summoned Automaton Spiders

When the Automaton Grizzly summons Spiders, prioritize all attacks on the latter to avoid taking a potentially large amount of DMG.

Take Out the Grizzly First Before the Direwolf

After defeating all the Imaginary Weavers, focus all your attacks on the Automaton Grizzly before the Direwolf as the former can deal a lot of AoE DMG and can summon Automaton Spiders.

Wave 2 Strategies

Target the Shadewalkers First

To beat Hook's second team, focus your attacks on the Shadewalkers to prevent additional DMG and debuffs. Between the two, focus on attacking the Everwinter Shadewalker as the Frigid Prowler will drain its HP to become more powerful.

Defeat the Searing Prowler Next

After both Shadewalkers are defeated, the next enemy to take down is the Searing Prowler. The Frigid Prowler at this point should have drained most of the Searing Prowler's HP, so defeating it should be easier.

Once the Searing Prowler is defeated, all you have to do is take down the Frigid Prowler to win the Championship!
