Aether Weaknesses and How to Beat It in FF Resonance
Aether is the Chapter 2 boss at the end of the Wind Shrine. It keeps calling minions and winds up a party wide Heavenly Wind, so keep an eye on its next action.
How to Beat Aether
Before the Fight
- Put Tronn, Terra or Noctis on the three members who are not Lasswell, since he has Ice already.
- Found Tsukiyo no Tachi plus Armor of Gales in the dungeon? Both go on Lasswell.
- Keep Tronn in the lineup for Hibernal Fury.
Aether Strategy
Pick Off the Minions Fast
Every time Aether calls help, switch targets and clear it. Letting the minions pile up is the quickest way to get overrun.
Rain Holds Aggro Under Protect
Aether mostly hits physically, so let Rain Provoke with Protect on. That keeps the big swings away from your casters.
Defend on the Exclamation Mark
An exclamation mark on its next turn means Heavenly Wind is coming. Defend with everyone, or let a Lasswell with Multi-Cover and Shell take it.
Freeze It During Stagger
Ice is its only weak spot and Wind does nothing. Save Tronn's Hibernal Fury for the break.
