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.

I put NightWings before RainWings. Perhaps there is a little bit of bias involved - though not much - because I also like RainWings. So maybe not.

RainWings have camouflage that's certainly better than the NightWings'. They also have venom that can be spat and is uncounterable. However, you have to take into account the laziness of most of the tribe, with exceptions like Glory, Grandeur, Mandrake (temporarily), and Kinkajou. That said, only Glory and Grandeur are willing to actually use their venom.

Also, if you think NightWings are bad at physical fighting, just look at Deathbringer.

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.

SandWings are quite powerful, really, and they're third on my list. The hiding-in-sand ability isn't that great, but SandWings can be quite smart. Look at Qibli, Cobra, Thorn, Onyx (even though she was sort of evil), and Blister, for example.

They can withstand heat, breathe fire, and have a tail barb that's nearly as effective as RainWing venom. While RainWing venom is ranged and can melt your scales, you can survive it if you know the cure. In contrast, if you get stung by a SandWing's tail and don't know the cure, you'll die. Plus, when fighting a SandWing, you have to watch out for their jaws, claws, and tail.

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.

IceWings are fourth for me. They have high cold resistance, but their lack of heat resistance really pulls them down. However, they do have deadly frostbreath that can counter fire.

In response to one of the IceWing comments: SandWings didn't start the war. Burn and Blister did - two specific dragons. Also, how exactly would we lose our eyeballs if you don't even know our location?

Additionally, they had animus magic, not have. Snowfall is pretty good, though. IceWings also have spikes and serrated claws. One scratch would HURT, and they can fight with their tails, too, like SandWings. However, their tails are both less and more effective depending on the situation. They lack venom, but their tails are much easier to land a hit with.

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.

I like SeaWings the most and would want to be one because:

- They have access to land, sea, and sky.
- They can succeed in the black of night and during the day.
- They can breathe underwater.

SeaWings are the most free of all the tribes. They can access any place in the world besides the cold parts of the Ice Kingdom (but presumably have better cold resistance due to swimming in cold seas).

I value freedom most in life. SeaWings also have beautiful scales and are muscular, with strong bodies, legs, and tails. They also have especially sharp teeth and hooked claws.

These are the main reasons I like SeaWings the most.

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 can breathe fire like most tribes, but they can also camouflage in the darkness. Shadows are much more common than sand, ice, mud, etc., so this gives them a significant advantage.

It wasn't that hard for Glory to take over them, but that was ONLY because a volcano was erupting and destroying their home. After moving to the rainforest, they started having more eggs with mind-reading and foresight abilities. Mind reading is useful for finding the weaknesses and plans of other dragons, though you'd also need fast reflexes to act on the information. Foresight can warn you of extreme danger.

All in all, they are a REALLY good tribe, which makes them first on my list.

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.

As much as I love LeafWings, I have to admit they're not the strongest. Like SeaWings, they lack breath powers and don't have particularly muscular bodies. While they do have leafspeak, it's not always that powerful unless you're a dragon like Sundew.

As a LeafWing, I'd hate to face a fire-breathing tribe, which makes up the majority of the tribes. However, their extensive knowledge of plants and insects is useful. For these reasons, they're in seventh place.

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.

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.

In last place, I have SilkWings. They're really pretty, and even normal silk can be useful in blinding and trapping other dragons. The power of flamesilk is amazing, too. Fire and silk, plus fire that stays, is incredible. It will stay on you and be really hard and painful to remove.

But then, think about their low armor, muscle, aggression, and the fact that they start with wing buds. They don't even get to fly until much later in their lives. They are horrified at actual fighting and killing. So, yeah.

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.

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.

How are SkyWings so low, I wonder? They are incredibly fast and agile in the air.

If you say not every battle is aerial, most battles are or could be. Fly into the air. They chase you. Then just don't get in close and continuously breathe fire. SkyWings would be really good at dodging return blasts and getting in hits. Fifth place.

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 don't deserve to be last, as much as I dislike the tribe. While it's unlikely that they all have special abilities, those who do have a wide range of them. These abilities include paralyzing venom, venomous teeth, stingers in both their tails and claws, and even the ability to emit disgusting smells, among other traits.

My rankings would be NightWing, RainWing, SandWing, IceWing, SkyWing, SeaWing, LeafWing, HiveWing, MudWing, and SilkWing. MudWings are only below HiveWings because of the variety of abilities and the cleverness of HiveWings.
