Top 10 Best Wings of Fire Tribes

In the Wings of Fire series, each tribe has its own unique abilities, culture, and personality, which makes them all fascinating in their own way. But which tribe is truly the best? Some might say it's the NightWings with their secretive powers of prophecy and mind-reading. Others might argue for the SeaWings, rulers of the ocean with their underwater cities and aquatic skills. Maybe you prefer the vibrant RainWings and their color-changing scales, or the fierce and determined IceWings from the coldest regions of Pyrrhia.

Think about which tribe has the coolest abilities, the most interesting history, or just the dragons you'd want to be friends with. The Wings of Fire world is full of amazing options, but only you can decide who deserves the top spot.
The Top Ten
RainWings RainWings are recognized for their vibrant, color-changing scales, which they can control to camouflage or display emotions. They live in the Rainforest Kingdom and are known for their peaceful and relaxed nature. RainWings also have venomous fangs capable of incapacitating other dragons.

Ok, enough with the hate! I know that most of them are lazy, but that's because their queens before Glory were lazy. I think they are smart and do care about other dragons. For example, Tamarin said that the tribe helped her learn her way around the rainforest.

RainWings are my favorite tribe. I mean, RainWings can shoot deadly venom from their fangs, and nobody knew it for a long time! I also like how RainWings are gentle and peaceful and haven't invaded a tribe in literally centuries.

RainWings probably have the best and most deadly powers of all the tribes. I also like how RainWings don't fight for the throne - they take turns! RainWings can also change into beautiful colors and camouflage if they are in danger.

I honestly don't get why people don't like RainWings. Everybody says they're lazy, but not all of them! There are also hardworking RainWings. They're awesome and magnificent!

SandWings SandWings are desert-dwelling dragons with pale gold or sandy scales suited for their hot environment. They possess a poisonous barb at the end of their tails. SandWings are also skilled at surviving in harsh desert conditions and often have keen senses for detecting threats.

There are several reasons to like this tribe. Not only do they have awesome abilities, like being able to withstand heat, breathe fire, sting with a venomous scorpion-like tail, and endure conditions with no food or water for extended periods of time. As far as abilities go, only IceWings and RainWings are as impressive. However, RainWings are lazy, and IceWings are very strict, unnecessarily cold, and arrogant.

Their colors are decent, although I will admit SeaWings and IceWings have better-looking scales.

When it comes to personality, each SandWing is different, much like in the other tribes. It seems like there's an exception with IceWings, RainWings, and SkyWings, though. Sutherland should have given more variety in those tribes' personalities. However, maybe it's because only one book focuses on a member of those tribes. Anyway, moving on.

The SandWings play a major role in the Wings of Fire books, from the SandWing Succession War to the influential characters they introduce. On that note, Qibli, Sunny, Thorn, the three princesses, and Six-Claws are all amazing characters with varying personalities and interesting backgrounds. Also, Qibli is my favorite character!

Have a great day, and hurray for Sutherland, who has created the best dragon books ever!

IceWings IceWings are adapted to cold climates and live in the northern Ice Kingdom. Their scales are pale, often white or light blue, and they can exhale a deadly frostbreath. IceWings value hierarchy, with a strict class system that determines a dragon's rank within the tribe.

Let me look at this list. RainWings are very overrated. SeaWings are my second favorite, so I'm not mad about that.

SandWings? You're joking. They started the war? Deluded people.

IceWings are the best tribe in history, and anyone who thinks not... Prepare to lose your eyeballs. They are so pretty, and they have an awesome history with all the animus magic. Oh, and they have animus magic.

Snowfall is my favorite character in the entire series. Can't change my mind about that, or that IceWings are the best tribe. #IceWings4Life

SeaWings The SeaWings are aquatic dragons that thrive in the ocean and along the coastline of the Kingdom of the Sea. They have webbed talons and can breathe underwater for extended periods. SeaWings communicate with each other using an underwater bioluminescent language called Aquatic.

Underwater must be really cool! And they have a secret language. I mean, how can RainWings compare? Yes, they are gorgeous and powerful, but so overrated! And RainWings were not smart enough to avoid joining the war. WRONG!!! They didn't care that dragons were going missing. Go SeaWings!!!

They are an amazing tribe! Underwater life must be so cool. Water is the strongest element, tied with air. Water can be calm and gentle, and fierce and strong when needed. Air can be a gentle breeze or a wind gust that can blow you off your feet and sweep you off into the air. Together, they are very strong.

SeaWings don't have fire, ice, or venom. Simply because they do not need it. Instead, they have other abilities: the fastest swimmers of all the tribes (obviously), breathing underwater, powerful tails, and even their glow scales! They've been described as beautiful. Even Peril, who is not known for appreciating beauty (um, sorry! guessing), says it's beautiful in an odd fishy way. They have an entire language that only SeaWings know! I say SeaWings are one of the best tribes, if not the best! Go SeaWings!

NightWings The NightWings are known for their dark, iridescent scales, which allow them to blend into the night. Historically, some NightWings possessed the ability to read minds and see the future. They once lived on a volcanic island, which they abandoned for the Rainforest.

NightWings may not know how to fight like other tribes, but they have mind-reading, prophecy, and animus magic! If that's not awesome, I don't know what is!

Sure, they're living in the rainforest, but who said that was bad? That's basically food central in a tribe that's too lazy to care that they're there, and Queen Glory, who is surprisingly fair to them. I would say they have a pretty good tribe and life now.

Very important in the first two arcs, but virtually nonexistent in the third, save for Moon (who is not my favorite dragon).

They should be higher because of the effect they (Clearsight) had on BeetleWing genetics, literally splitting the tribe in two.

LeafWings LeafWings are a tribe of forest-dwelling dragons known for their ability to control and manipulate plants. Their scales often resemble foliage, allowing them to blend into their surroundings. Once thought extinct, they now live in the forests of Pantala, working to protect their environment.

LeafWings may not be that powerful, but they spent 50 years hiding in the Poison Jungle after Monarch surrendered to Wasp. They had to be super strong to survive an entire jungle that wanted to eat them.

They also have extensive knowledge of which plants are safe, which are dangerous, and which they can fling at Wasp's face.

LeafWings are the best tribe ever! They may not seem that powerful, but think about it. They have a secret home, which no one could find, and they tried and almost succeeded in wiping out the entire HiveWing tribe!

When the HiveWings' queen commanded allegiance, SilkWings gave in because she helped them, but LeafWings fought. You may think that their powers are useless, which is not true. As you read in the 11th book, Sundew defeated the HiveWing librarian just by using her powers. LeafWings have courage, and they use it. That is why they are the best tribe. Change your thoughts?

SilkWings SilkWings are a Pantalan tribe known for their brightly colored, soft scales and the silk they can produce from their wrists. They undergo metamorphosis, transitioning from wingless dragonets to full-grown dragons with wings. SilkWings once lived under HiveWing rule but have since gained their freedom.

Okay, it may be a surprise, but they are actually very strong if you think about it. They have flamesilk and are immune to flames, while also being pretty.

Some might see SilkWings as weak, but I think Monarch was smart. Think about it: SilkWings have almost no powers, except for silk and the legendary flamesilk.

SilkWings are definitely not warriors, and Monarch must have thought of how many SilkWings would die if she decided to go to war with Wasp like Queen Sequoia.

SilkWings are the best tribe. Why are they in 8th place? They should be in 1st place!

I honestly love SilkWings because they are so majestic. I also think they are the most unique tribe. I like that they aren't warriors, so they don't fight. I also love how they express themselves.

And I hate when people say "SilkWings are weak" because they are not weak. They just aren't the fighting type. Vote for SilkWings and help them get to #1!

SkyWings SkyWings are known for their powerful wings and exceptional flying abilities, thriving in the mountainous regions of their kingdom. Their scales are typically bright red, orange, or gold, and they are skilled in aerial combat. SkyWings are highly territorial and value strength in their warriors.

I love SkyWings! They have huge wings and can fly easily. They can also breathe fire! SkyWings have huge wings.

I wonder why there are these other tribes which don't have wings as big as SkyWings? They are so weird, those people who think SkyWings are not the best. I would definitely say that you have to vote for SkyWings!

SkyWings can also breathe fire. Not all the tribes can breathe fire, and I think that is an advantage. So now, after reading this, you must think that SkyWings are the best, right? If you still don't, then I am going to get angry at you all!

So, that is why SkyWings are definitely the best tribe.

MudWings MudWings are heavyset dragons with thick, mud-colored scales that help them blend into their swampy homeland. They are known for their resilience and endurance, able to survive in harsh environments. MudWings typically live in tight-knit groups called sibs, working together for mutual survival.

MudWings aren't my favorite tribe, but I still think it's sad to see them so underrated. They are a friendly tribe outside of war and have a nice way of living in their troops.

They can also hold their breath for one hour, which could be helpful for fighting SeaWings, and have fire-breath for fighting other tribes.

MudWings are such an underrated tribe. Am I the only one who is very sad about how there are only three chapters where the dragonets are in the Mud Kingdom in book one and only two in book five? I've heard people say that MudWings are ugly, but the muddy colors are amazing, with beautiful shades of brown, amber, and orange. MudWings are also so loyal. The siblings of the queen will not challenge for the throne because of how loyal they are.

HiveWings HiveWings are a dominant tribe on Pantala with the ability to control certain insects and produce venom. Their society is highly structured, with strict rules and a hierarchical system. HiveWings once ruled over both the SilkWings and LeafWings, using their unique powers to maintain control.

HiveWings get so much hate, and I don't know why. Wasp was evil, get over it. They have the coolest abilities by far. They have tail stingers (like SandWings), boiling acid (kind of like RainWings), teeth that melt the flesh off dragons, and smelly eggs.

I know not every dragon gets these powers, but an elite squad of HiveWings with powers would be very dangerous.

With so many diverse abilities, I'm sure you can agree on how great they are. Yeah, they are kind of evil, but Cricket is an example of the good they have.
