So... I had a working strategy for Musk Reef. With the Aether changes, it no longer works. Anyone got any team compositions that work?
For reference, after reviving (2nd phase), Aether gets a 50hp shield, and will move and attack each unit that attacks him. The shield takes on the element of whatever hits him, and takes variable damage based on what element it is. I'll include a chart of the various effects. But, just as an observation - no attack does damage against it's own shield. Multi-hit attacks likely only hit once. And Dendro-Electro form a nice loop of dealing 5 damage each hit, if you can sequence the hits correctly. Also, one final note - attacks have to actually deal damage to hit the shield, so Nycto attacks are unlikely to actually do anything.
| Shield | Pyro | Hydro | Electro | Cryo | Dendro | Anemo | Geo | Nycto |

| Attack | | | | | | | | |
| Pyro | 0 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Hydro | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Electro | 3 | 2 | 0 | 3 | 5 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Cryo | 2 | 5 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Dendro | 0 | 2 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 1 |
| Anemo | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Geo | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Nycto | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 0 |
