Aether worth taking on my A!Tiki?(Warding breath)

Typically, if a unit is used competitively, Aether is used for the scoring weight it adds, not necessarily because it’s better. A perfect example: Ignis is better on Michalis because with QR and a cooldown effect, he can fire off ignis every enemy phase when he has QR active, winning 99% of fights. But Aether scores so much better, so it usually is what ends up being used. Same can be applied to Tiki.

So the real question becomes whether or not you want to use her competitively or for fun. Because if it’s the former, slap Aether on her. If it’s more the latter, pick what you like best.

TG15 has some valid points, but for my money Aether is the better special anyway. Ignoring score, it provides her with the healing she needs to sustain against multiple enemies, along with providing a decent damage boost. She will proc it in every round of combat, usually on her second hit (though Vantage might throw this off), and can use it to finish off her foe after her first hit. Ignis provides the most raw damage but I think the sustain provided by Aether makes up for it.
