Conjure Minor Elemental spell variants
You pick the elemental when you cast it. All three last until your next Long Rest, and casting the spell again replaces whatever you had out. The mephits explode when they die, which is a feature if you position them well and a problem if you do not.

When to cast Conjure Minor Elemental
Cast it out of combat, right after a Long Rest, and forget about it. The elemental follows you through every fight until you rest again, so one Level 4 slot buys you an extra body for the whole day.
The Azer is the safe pick. It is a proper melee unit with a warhammer that does Fire damage on top, and it does not explode. Put it in front of your casters and let it soak attacks.
The mephits are two bodies instead of one, they fly, and they have breath attacks, but they die fast and their Death Burst hits your party too if they go down next to you. Ice Mephits are the more useful pair thanks to Chromatic Orb: Cold and the ice surfaces it leaves.
You can only have one Conjure Minor Elemental out at a time, but it does not conflict with Conjure Elemental. A Level 9 Druid or Wizard can run both and walk around with a small army.
