- Scent (Especially for Miqo'te).

- The invisible body obstructing the breeze/wind.
- Sounds of breathing, and/or movement; such as clothes, or feet meeting the ground (Especially for Elezen). Â
These would be minimized at a distance, but when the invisible person gets close, it gets easier for things to get noticed.
Another thing is, if a character can detect aether, and the stealth ability uses aether, they should be able to detect the aether-stealthed person. Then again, I am not familiar with lore on aether detection.
I pretty much agree with what's been stated, and this as well. There are many ways to detect people, so outright invisibility isn't going to work. If they do try to use some aetheric bending of the light, then it would cause a shimmer when the person moves so they'd have to remain perfectly still the entire time--and even then, I'd be very skeptical. Stealth works as a game mechanic, and that's strictly it. It does not make the person invisible. I don't mind using the animation to denote sneaking so long as the person realizes that they aren't 100% invisible.
