I'm just gonna say supervolcano to that first sentence and leave it there.

Alright fine, I'll go through the Cotc3 stages that don't restrict aer/mizli and show you.. Only starting on Eskimo cuz early stuff is ez:

Eskimo has noodle man and lesolar along with ursas, definitely a lot of backline. Catseye has maawth backline that'll smack your seafarers/psychos if you try to mizli it. Egg is similar but a bit better for mizli since the Ursa backline comes out before the star pengs. Calabash is just kid tappas and Gregory's, not hard but mizli works. If you manage to rush the lesolar on Altair, that's neat. But once mesmo and stuff are out, mizli will mess you up.

Okay I just realized how stupidly long this would be, so I'm just gonna list some more examples of my point.

Canopus is Aer's holy land, if you can afford him, he'll destroy. Aldeberan has spacefish and noodles with a red Frontline. N77 duh. Thanxbye.

You get the idea.

The other options are self functioning sure, but functioning a different task than aer does. Nothing besides aer can kill all the backlines with barriers like he can. Baseball is like a bad version of what he does, that's much more niche. Using aer is like bringing an ld to f28 alongside the anti-metals, except if most every metal stage had a backline. However, he also works for the Frontline units.

The only star aliens Aer's ld has the slightest issue reaching are noodles and starfish, everything else isn't too far at all. If you're talking general use, he won't hit anything that's super far back, but most stages don't have 300+ range separation between front and backlines.

Using other generalists is probably gonna be better than using aer yeah, he's C+ after all. As a general ld tho, he works unless you've got any of the higher tier ones. He can hit stuff like master a variants and etc that stand behind other enemies.

Saying that you own the unit isn't going to do much in the way of swaying me, I do as well...
