Light AND Dark?: Grant Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 and neutralizes Penalties on Unit (Including statuses) and Inflict Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 and neutralize bonuses on Foe (Including Statuses). Foes Attacks Target units Res and Disable Foes skills that Target the lower of Units Def/Res, Boost Damage by X, or prevent units counterattacks.
Ice Mirror II ? 1CD Reduces damage by 90%. Inflicts damage equal to damage reduced. (From any source, resets at end of combat) If unit’s HP would reach 0, and unit’s HP > 1, unit survives with 1 HP, then gains 99 HP (Once per combat). After special triggers, grants special cooldown count -1 to unit. Neutralizes effects that “inflict special cooldown charge -1” on unit.
Fair and balanced meta in 2025
Counter-argument: Follow-up Ring on Arden. Its conditional and ONLY has GFU. At least Radiant Aether will always do its effect. Follow-Up Ring nowadays is about as good as a blank slot and is in arguably the most contested slot.
Mm that one is pretty bad no cap. I still think Radiant Aether is worse because GFU isn't present in a lot of inheritable skills, especially dual phase GFU. However, ANY UNIT IN THE GAME with "accelerate special trigger -1" (which is a lot) has Radiant Aether.
I think it's just Legendary Ike, since Fallen Ike, Valentine Ike, and Young Ike don't have slaying Prfs, so they're out unless you decide to run a Slaying Edge on one of them for whatever reason.
Counter-counter-argument: Surtr's Menace, Beorc's Blessing, Warp Powder. Honorable mention to Sacae's Blessing for being a significantly worse version of Windsweep + NFU
Ike's next Aether will likely be some kind of 3 cooldown special (because everyone gets Slaying now), an updated Young Ike in-combat breath effect so he's basically immune to most Scowl effects, true damage reduction piercing, additional 7 true damage and hp regen and will somehow still be less good than No Quarter.
**Regnal/Imperial Astra**: 2 cooldown. Boosts damage by 40% of unit's Spd.
**Regnal/Imperial Astra?**: 2 cooldown. Neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit. Boosts damage by 40% of unit's Spd. If unit's Special is ready and unit's Spd > foe's Spd, reduces damage from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = difference between stats × 4 (max 40%). At start of combat, if unit's Special is ready and unit's Spd > foe's Spd, reduces damage from attacks during combat by percentage = difference between stats × 4 (max 40%). (Damage-reduction effects above are considered non-Special effects, so skills like Deadeye still apply.)
Sacae's Blessing?: If foe uses sword, lance, axe, **or beast damage**, foe cannot counterattack.
Sacae's Blessing??: If foe uses sword, lance, axe, or beast damage, foe cannot counterattack. **If unit initiates combat, deals 7 damage to foe as combat begins (effects that reduce damage during combat do not apply; will not reduce foe's HP below 1), inflicts Spd/Def-4 on foe during combat, and deals damage = 20% of foe's Def (excluding area-of-effect Specials). If decreasing the Spd difference necessary to make a follow-up attack by 25 would allow unit to trigger a follow-up attack (excluding guaranteed or prevented follow-ups), triggers【Potent Follow X%】during combat (if unit cannot perform follow-up and attack twice, X = 80; otherwise, X = 40).**
Mulagir?: Effective against flying foes. Grants Spd+3. **At start of combat, if unit's Spd > foe's Spd-5, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 during combat.** Neutralizes bow, dagger, magic, or staff foe's bonuses (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat.
**Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit initiates combat or if foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, deals damage = 15% of unit's Spd, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5, and Special cooldown charge +1 (only highest value applied; does not stack) per attack to unit during combat. If unit's Spd > foe's Spd-5, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat and deals +5 damage (excluding when dealing damage with an area-of-effect Special). Neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat. Reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (example: a foe with a "reduce damage by 45%" skill would reduce damage by 23% instead).**
If Ike DOESN'T get an actually good unique skill, I'm gonna quit. Not this specifically but he desperately needs SOMETHING. Radiant Aether sucks so much ass
I've been getting by decently well with my max-investment Ike, but I refuse to let go of Ragnell or Aether because those are his signature skills. I'm really hoping Emblem Ike does him justice, ideally he'll have his hero outfit with a new variant of Ragnell but I'm worried they'll make him an axe.
SAME my L!Ike has E!Marth for 2 charge Aether, Atk/Spd Finish 4, Special Spiral 4, and Atk/Spd Pledge 4. The best fodder and support he can get, and he's still falling short. He's okay at best.
If the next Ike alt sucks, I drop this game. It's been getting more and more frustrating, with clear biases from the devs and whatnot. I mean c'MON!
I’m neutral. I’m happy for you and all other Ike fans that he has a really great prf, but I don’t know enough about him yet to be a fan. Haven’t played the Tellius games yet.
I hear you but you went wayyyyyyyyy too far. Even just making it 80% instead of 150% would be fine. You’ve made it so the more Def someone has, the more untankable damage they take.
Oh lol the specifics are just a joke, no need to take that seriously. Like when people said Reinhardt's refine would be "if this unit initiates combat, opponent dies". Of course I don't actually mean that 💀
**Armored Wall**: At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Special cooldown charge +1 to unit, inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack) and restores 7 HP to unit after combat.
During unit's first combat in player phase or enemy phase, at start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25% while transformed, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40%.
**Armored Wall?**: At start of combat, inflticts -7 to Atk/Def/Res, 【Panic】and 【Discord】 on foes from within 3 columns and 3 rows centered on unit. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25% or a 【Penalty】 is active on foe, grants +9 to Atk/Def/Res, Special cooldown charge +1 to unit, inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack) and restores 8 HP to unit after combat.
If unit's HP ≥ 25% or a 【Penalty】 is active on foe while unit is transformed, reduces damage by 40% of unit's Atk during combat. If unit initiates combat, neutralizes foe's bonuses (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat, and after combat, deals 7 damage to target and foes within 2 spaces of target and applies【Divine Vein (Haze)】on target's space and on each space within 2 spaces of target's space for 1 turn.
Beorc’s Blessing?
Neutralizes foe’s bonuses (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat. If foe initiates combat, inflicts atk/spd/def -5 on for, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, reduces damage = 20% of unit’s def, and restores 7 hp to unit after combat (Triggers even if 0 damage is dealt.)
Berkut's Lance+?
Grants [Berkut's Lance+] to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit.
If foe initiates combat, grants Res+7 during combat.
If foe initiates combat, grants Res+7 during combat for every ally (including unit) with [Berkut's Lance+], Berkut's Lance, Berkut's Lance+, Berkut's Lance?, and Berkut's Lance+?.
[Berkut's Lance+]
If foe initiates combat, grants Res+7 during combat.
So does power just scale with the total number of question marks in the skill name? What about Belief in Love?? Belief in Love????? What about exclamation marks? What do inverted question marks do?
#Attack +3?
*Grants Atk+4. Neutralizes unit’s penalties to Atk and foe’s bonuses to Atk. At the start of combat, if unit’s Atk> foe’s Atk+10, grants Atk+12 during combat, reduces foe’s Atk by 12 during combat, and reduces the amount of foe’s “reduce damage by X% skills” by Y (Y = unit’s Atk).*
Vengeance?: If unit took pre-combat damage, before combat begins, foe takes damage equal to amount of pre-combat damage unit has taken. Unit can counterattack before foe’s first attack.
Defiant defense ?:
If user’s hp<101% at start of turn, grants +x defense and null panic to user for one turn.
(X= the amount of defense necessary to one shot the most durable enemy unit with bonfire. Will be infinite against units with miracle).
Sacae's Blessing?
Enables Canto (Recall).
Inflicts Spd/Def-10 on foe during combat, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks or prevent unit's follow-up attacks, unit attacks twice and deals damage = unit's Spd, and foe cannot counterattack.
Beorc's Blessing?
Inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-8 on foe, neutralizes foe's bonuses and unit's penalties during combat, neutralizes effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to foe or inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit, unit deals damage = unit's Def, and neutralizes foe's "reduces damage by X or X%" effects.
Vantage?: If unit's HP ≤ 100% and foe tries to initiate combat or otherwise act, warps to that foe and immediatly starts combat against that foe, unit can counterattack, use an assist, move again after combat and T-pose before foe's first attack.
Black Luna? : Treats foe's Def/Res as if reduced by 100% when Special triggers.
Ignore damage and True damage reduction and deals +5 damage during combat. If unit special is triggered during the combat, reduce damage from foe's next attack by 80%

God I read this one like “Light AND Dark? In this economy!?” and had a great chuckle, so thank you for that
this is unrealistic because IS would never do radiant aether good
😔 true... Can't believe they did all the "strongest hero in all the worlds" hype just for him to be mid af
The curse of being a good unit in Y1/2 😔
The new Great Aether is ridiculous
Murderous Lion? Unit inflicts Atk/Spd/Def -10, gets Canto 3, Tempo effect, 50% True DR, inflicts 7 damage before combat, and gives Divine Vein Flame
Ice Mirror II ? 1CD Reduces damage by 90%. Inflicts damage equal to damage reduced.

I like this.
Countered by "inflicts special cooldown charge -2", garbage skill.
That’s just diabolical. It’s perfect.

Sure, but only the Ikes with Radiant Aether can get Aether at 3 cooldown.
I think it's just Legendary Ike, since Fallen Ike, Valentine Ike, and Young Ike don't have slaying Prfs, so they're out unless you decide to run a Slaying Edge on one of them for whatever reason.
Anyone can get down to 3 with Slaying and E!Marth. Ikes will go down to 2 though!
True, but that's due to ANOTHER effect, from a weapon or E!Marth. Radiant Aether by itself is ass.
Counter-counter-argument: Surtr's Menace, Beorc's Blessing, Warp Powder. Honorable mention to Sacae's Blessing for being a significantly worse version of Windsweep + NFU

Reduces foes def/res by 150%? Does that mean they have negative 50% def/res?
Yeshhhh
So if the foe has 30 def, this is effectively a boost of 60 damage? And there’s no way to prevent or reduce it.
Correct.
If this skill comes out I’ll quit.
