Sorry, I have been monitoring this thread but I haven’t had time to write out responses because I have been busy with homework this weekend.

I don’t really agree with Mizli working against backlines, the only time knockbacking a backline worked was in last gang. However, Mizli IS applicable in so many rush stages in CotC that she does have valid use. (And yes, the number of stages a cat works in absolutely DOES matter; it’s in the simplest essence the best way to tell how often you’d use a cat). And because CotC relies on frontline spam, Mizli is highly useful throughout CotC. There are also a few (not many, but several) Legend Stages where Mizli is applicable, for example the Area 22 stage with a nimoy bore, or the few that JTH mentioned.

Yes, this thread is worst of the worst, so mizli would still be the WORST pixie, if it weren’t for Aer. Having used it extensively and giving it way more chances than it deserved because it was my first uber, I can confirm that Aer is just incredibly mediocre.. 90s cooldown is short, but for a barrier break with a large blindspot and few knockbacks, it’s way too long. You can’t call it the best barrier break, in my opinion that goes to Golfer because although Golfer has LD (and is somewhat gimmicky), Golfer is stackable and respawnable.

BB aside, DPS is good for an LD cat, but it suffers from Gaia syndrome: its blindspot and few KBs really, really hurts it. That’s not to say it can’t be used, but you’re better off using a different cat, even Ururun, with the same DPS but much more range and survivability, or another LD (even Mina) which exchanges some DPS for the basic ability to not die. Aer’s LD isn’t THAT worth it.

Aer would easily win if his first form had BB, because of spammability but for some reason it’s the only pixie that doesn’t, and that’s the last nail in the coffin.
