Aer's weak spot is itf, mizli outclasses him in a large amount of stages that don't have a backline, although I'd rather have aer for stuff like itf1 moon.

The barriers aren't all that aer is good for backline wise, aervanta has quite high pierce and dps, he'll just kill the whole backline if you keep him protected for a bit. There are non-uber options for all those Frontlines like psycho/seafarer/cancan/etc, But, we don't have anything near as good for the backliners. All we can do is kill the Frontline and then get to then, or try to work with baseball.

Sol, cotc, events, and ul are all Aer's wins. He's not great for any of them besides cotc and a bit of sol, but he has more use than mizli at least. All mizli is better for is most of itf, that doesn't outweigh everything else.

I kinda get what you're going for in this main paragraph, lemme try to dive into it. Mizli doesn't work well with most other regular anti-aliens, if you bring generalists or stackable cc/dps, she's probably gonna end up killing them with her kb. Because of this, you have to use her as an almost standalone, just go all out rush units, or not bring her to quite a few stages. On the other hand, aer works great with all the above mentioned units, they keep the Frontline back and he kills the backline for an easy victory. You don't have to use unconventional strats with him.

Is that what you were saying? Cuz I agree with that part if so. Since zoge seems to not want to reply, I will

Lemme just shorten it. Mizli works quite well for CotC. She has all of aers abilities (exept long range) plus more. The combination of KB and slow may be bad in some situations. ultra Baa baa can easliy push into him large blind spot. Mizli works pretty goddamed well for LD backlines as she will push the frontline into the LD without killing the frontline meaning you can deal with the backline. Yes for lesolar and Calamary she doesn't work but there are quite a few enemies that she works better for than aer
