For aerial purposes, is very mixed depending on which
Icarus Gold and area. If I was just moving
around lets say the Hakanas Crossings I would definitely use the BlueFlame Phoenix (beautiful
bird). For aerial combat I did mostly used Karios for its high defense and speed but if I go
according to the quest related mounts Vulkanus was my number one do to his defense and speed.
Also for fighting once you are in the level the Gilded Benthic is a must, it has massive defense
and speed for been a 2 star quality mount.
