Agreed with
![Death :death](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/death18x18.png)
, mostly just because of Purify.
However I am not sure about
![Aether :aether](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/aether18x18.png)
. It can just stall, and
![Water :water](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/water18x18.png)
only has permafrost to slow it down (seems even to me, water isn't particularly destructive in this match up)
And even though it seems most predictable,
![Fire :fire](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/fire18x18.png)
. Water can counter almost everything it does (apart from explosions). All fires creatures are easily killed/frozen by Waters giant creature control. They even have mind flayers, to stop lava golems/fire sprits. The only way I could really see fire winning this match up (apart from uber rushing) is farenheight + fire bolt.
