Can you discuss your criteria for determining which aspects get ranked and which don't? Like, it's pretty clear that Travel, Might, and Foreboding are better than their respective base spirits and are worth including as the maximum potential of that spirit; and I can sort of see why you want to rank multiple Lightning aspects, because they are very different; but it's a little less clear to me why you choose to rank, for instance, Sunshine, which (in my experience) is even weaker than base river, but not, say, Amorphous (which I find to be a fun and interesting - if not necessarily good - take on Shadows).

Personally, I'd be curious to see some of these aspects ranked - not necessarily every month or as precisely as the rest, but a general sense of whether base River is an A- or a B- (or whatever) would be nice. And I'd be particularly interested to know your assessment of how base Lightning stacks up against Wind - Pandemonium and Immense may be better, but they really change the playstyle a lot; if one wants to just play a minor-spamming building-zapping spirit, which is the better way to do it?

Thanks.

Hey!

I was thinking about posting where I think these aspects would be earlier this week, but decided to hold off. Most of my group doesn't play these, but here is where they'd fall.

Base River would be somewhere in S tier (likely right below Travel). The power is very close to River Travel, just Travel gives you more tools to work with. Out of these aspects/sprits listed. I have the most experience with Base River.. River's power comes from Boon of Vigor + Massive Flooding.

Reach and Amorphous are somewhere in B- / High C/D tier. I consider both to be worst than Foreboding, but how worst is ??? They are forsure upgrades over base Shadows.

Base Shadows is probably the worst spirit in the game, or slightly better than Base Earth. Base Earth is pretty terrible.

Base Lightning is somewhere in B tier or high B- tier. It's gameplan is very similar to Wind, so I tend to lean on Wind being better.
