Anomaly Mastery: 30.0%

Energetic Strike

Increases the equipper's Anomaly Proficiency by 90. When the equipper is an Ether character, and comes on-field or uses a Special Attack or EX Special Attack, they gain a buff: DMG dealt to enemies afflicted with Attribute Anomalies increases by 20%, and all Attribute Anomaly DMG and Disorder DMG they trigger increases by 10%, lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration, and the effect is removed when switching off-field.

This is the agent's engine by design - not necessarily the one people actually run. For what is actually equipped, see below.

CORE SKILL

Lv. 7

Core Passive: Innate Stage Presence

Aria's Anomaly Proficiency increases by 90. If Aria's 3rd hit of Basic Attack: Perfect Pitch lands a heavy attack on an enemy suffering an Ether, Electric, Fire, Physical, Ice, or Wind Anomaly, it will trigger Abloom, which resolves an additional instance of Attribute Anomaly DMG equal to 27.5%/14.3%/35.7%/2.5%/3.6%/1.4% per 10 points of initial Anomaly Mastery of the original Anomaly DMG. If the target is Stunned, the DMG ratio is further increased by 50%.

Additional Ability: Collaborative Stage

When another character in your squad is a Stun, Support, or Anomaly character, or shares the same Faction: When Ether Veil is activated, 4 Fandom Power are generated on the field. This can trigger once every 1s. When any squad member applies Corruption to an enemy, its duration is extended by 3s.

Basic Attack: Perfect Pitch

Hold to activate: Aria enters a charging state and can reach three levels of charge. Releasing or reaching the maximum charge time causes Aria to unleash a powerful downward attack forward based on the current charge level, dealing massive Ether DMG. If there is Fandom Power nearby while Aria is charging, she will absorb the Fandom Power, with each absorbed Fandom Power instantly increasing charge level by 1 and granting 1 stack of a buff that increases the next Basic Attack: Perfect Pitch's Ether Anomaly Buildup by 10%. This buff can stack up to 2 times and is removed after the attack ends. After the 4th hit of Basic Attack: Sweet Melody, Special Attack: Full-Sugar Electronica - No Ice, an EX Special Attack, a level three charged Basic Attack: Perfect Pitch, a Quick Assist, a Chain Attack, or an Ultimate, if there are at least 2 Fandom Power nearby, hold to consume 2 Fandom Power and quickly activate a level three charged Basic Attack: Perfect Pitch. After a level three charged Basic Attack: Perfect Pitch, a Chain Attack, or an Ultimate, if there are at least 2 Fandom Power nearby, a level three charged Basic Attack: Perfect Pitch can also be quickly activated by pressing within a short window, consuming 2 Fandom Power. Anti-Interrupt Level is increased while charging, and received DMG is reduced by 40%. Character is invulnerable while using this attack.

Ultimate: 100% Energy

When Decibel Rating is at Maximum, press to activate: Releases all her power, entering Moment of Delusion, and fires multiple powerful shots at the target, dealing massive Ether DMG. Upon entering Moment of Delusion, Aria gains 3 stacks of All-Out Cheering and activates Ether Veil: Delusion Reprise. While Ether Veil: Delusion Reprise is active, all squad members gain an additional 50 ATK for 30s. Re-activating Ether Veil: Delusion Reprise will first cancel any existing instance of Ether Veil: Delusion Reprise. While Aria is charging, if she has All-Out Cheering, stacks of All-Out Cheering are consumed first to charge. Each stack of All-Out Cheering consumed increases the charge level by 2. Upon entering Moment of Delusion, if Aria already has All-Out Cheering, all remaining stacks of All-Out Cheering are first converted into Fandom Power and generated on the field. Each stack of All-Out Cheering is converted into 2 Fandom Power. Moment of Delusion lasts for up to 15s.

MINDSCAPE CINEMA

Energetic Sound Waves

When Aria's Basic Attack, Special Attack, or EX Special Attack deals DMG to enemies, it ignores 10% of the target's Ether Anomaly Buildup RES. Additionally, when Aria triggers Abloom, it has a chance to trigger a critical hit. The base CRIT Rate is 25%, and CRIT DMG is 25%. If initial Anomaly Mastery exceeds 100, each additional point of initial Anomaly Mastery increases this effect's CRIT Rate by 0.5%.

"You see them? Everyone out there is waiting for us. So when the lights come up, we have to be full of energy. That's what it means to be an idol." —A few whispered words before going on stage.

Fantastical Beat

When Aria attacks or triggers Abloom, it ignores 16% of the target's DEF. During Moment of Delusion, attacks and Abloom triggers also ignore an additional 8% of the target's DEF.

"We don't have to sing it yet. Just close our eyes, feel it, and accept it. Then, on stage, through our performance, we'll make the whole audience fall in love with it."

Delulu

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

"Whether it's a dream or just a delusion, we just need to keep running toward a better version of ourselves. Everyone is worthy of being appreciated, and every effort will be remembered by someone."

Mechanical Angel

When Aria triggers Abloom, she gains 4 Energy and 70 Decibels. This effect can trigger once every 10s.

My wings are moonlight forged from tempered steel, with lines of code, each vibration made real. Gears bite into the rhythm of destiny, while silent electricity roars through me.

Tears in the Rain

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

I once saw a city swallowed by the Hollows, its order reshaped by Ether. Everything beautiful was consumed by darkness, sinking into the long river of time... like tears fading in the rain.

Construct's Dream

Upon entering the battlefield, Aria immediately gains 1,200 Decibels. In Investigation Zone mode, this effect can trigger once every 180s. After Aria enters Moment of Delusion, she will not exit it, and enhanced Basic Attack: Perfect Pitch and her Ultimate deal 40% increased Ether DMG. While in Moment of Delusion, when an enemy on the field enters an Anomaly state, Aria gains 1 stacks of All-Out Cheering. This effect can occur once every 6s. When gaining the All-Out Cheering effect, if already at 3 stacks of All-Out Cheering, any excess All-Out Cheering is converted into 2 Fandom Power and generated on the field.

Do you still remember that night in September, when love was born? Do you still remember the dancing on the stage, in those days when we fell into delusions?

A deliberate off-meta build lands at the bottom of this list while still being perfectly workable.
