How to Beat Aether - Final Fantasy Resonance

Aether Summary

Aether, the Veritas of the Heavens, has the power to control the winds, bending them to fuel his attack. His command over the sky is what makes moves like Heavenly Wind so dangerous, so expect a fight that will put your whole party under the pressure of the wind!

Aether Attack Patterns

How to Beat Aether

[1] Take Advantage of Aether's Weakness to Ice Element.

Aether is weak to Ice. Since Lasswell has an Ice attack by default, focus on using his turn to attack Aether for extra damage and maximum stagger.

Staggering Aether early in the fight opens up more openings for the party and finishes the fight quickly.

[2] Use Rain's Provoke Skill.

Use Rain as the tank of the party. Let him take the front line and absorb incoming attacks while the group focuses on offense and supporting.

Simultaneously, whenever Rain uses Provoke to draw Aether's attention, cast Protect as well to reduce the incoming damage. Pairing those two skills will keep Rain from fainting early on the fight.

[3] Focus on the Summoned Minion.

Whenever Aether summons a minion, focus on defeating it first before it damages or disrupt the party. Defeating the minions first allows the party to have their turn to attack Aether.

[4] Be Ready to Defend Whenever Aether Uses Heavenly Wind.

If Aether has an Exclamation Mark on his icon, be ready to defend, as his next attack will hit the whole party! Heavenly Wind can deal a lot of damage, so use Protect or other defensive skills before it lands to reduce the damage as much as possible.
