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.

1. 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.

   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!

2. 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.

   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!

3. 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.

   SeaWings are great, but not that great, which is why I place them in sixth. Their blinding light would be much less effective during the day. They have no breath abilities, and while they can swim, it's quite unlikely they'll be fighting in water. MudWings can hold their breath for over an hour, which mostly counters the SeaWing advantage underwater.

   That said, SeaWings are really muscular and have powerful tails. A SeaWing's tail might knock you out or break your bones. Then again, you're a dragon, so perhaps it wouldn't knock you out entirely - but it would be painful. Still, compare that to an IceWing tail that could stab deep wounds into you or a SandWing tail that could kill you. Which would you rather face, I wonder?

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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 are the BEST!!!!! They DO have special abilities like Leafspeak, which alone should make LeafWings the best, not to mention everything else. They can ABSORB ENERGY FROM SUNLIGHT, which is awesome, and that makes them great!! Not to mention, they aren't like certain cowards, and they don't give in to the HiveWings. They demand proof, but of course Wasp doesn't give it to them because, of course, she was lying about the Book of Clearsight, so the LeafWings were right, and the SilkWings were wrong. They also know when to give up, but they don't really give up. They hide away but plan how to defeat the HiveWings, and they burned down Bloodworm Hive, which is really memorable. Plus, they're really pretty. These are only a few of my many reasons, but, at the end of the day, they are my favorite.

7. 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.

   SilkWings are amazing. They are so much like BeetleWings, my favorite tribe of all time. They are the most alike them. They'd be my first if they had more weapons. I mean, how are SilkWings seventh?

   SilkWings can use their antennae to sense vibrations in the air and are able to predict the weather and sense danger.

   At six years old, SilkWings undergo metamorphosis. They enter a cocoon for about five days, emerging with two pairs of wings and silk glands in their wrists. Even if it's unrealistic, it's interesting and unique. I also love the designs.

8. 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.

   Personally, I think SkyWings are great. They have huge wings, are super athletic, can breathe fire, and are recognized as strong fighters. I find NightWings rather basic because they are essentially black dragons that can breathe fire.

   Without the ability to read minds or see the future, they seem less impressive. At least SkyWings boast significant wingspan.

   They are often perceived as grumpy, but that was primarily due to Queen Scarlet's influence. Consider the gentler examples, like the amiable Cliff and the fair and kind Ruby. Also, Peril is an intriguing character.

   In Tsunami's book she described how, when hiding from the SkyWings on the beach, they flew overhead faster than any other tribe could, likening them to jets. It implies that escaping a SkyWing is nearly impossible. Additionally, their coloration is quite appealing.

9. 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 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.

   MudWings are one of the best tribes because of their caring personality toward their siblings. Sure, they might not be the best parents, but they are the most caring tribe, besides RainWings. Others say MudWings are useless, but I think not.

   1. They are the biggest and most powerful tribe when it comes to strength.

   2. They can have fireproof scales, a big thing for a dragon, lol.

   3. They're kind of the second tribe to be somewhat aquatic compared to SeaWings. They can hold their breath for a long time, and they spend a lot of time in water anyway because of the mud.

   People shouldn't be so harsh to the MudWings. They're really not that bad of a tribe. SilkWings are the useless tribe that everyone should go against in my opinion, but eh.

10. 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 are my second favorite tribe after SeaWings because they look so cool, and they have amazing and unique abilities that don't really have any limits as far as we know. They are portrayed as evil, but they're just normal dragons, probably the most relatable tribe. It's not their fault they're being mind controlled.

    Before you say how they keep SilkWings as slaves, that's the only thing they know. They weren't always like that, and who says they're all mean? They were also probably told things like, Don't worry, SilkWings don't have emotions, or They want to serve us. If they found out what it was like for them, they would probably start to rebel or something, but then they'd all be mind controlled into being peaceful again.

    In the tree wars, when they weren't all mind controlled, they protested against destroying the trees, but the Othermind took over and stopped them. They are not evil. They are forced into being evil, or they don't know better. It's not their fault.
