C TierAurelia Build Guide
Aurelia is a Main DPS that can deal damage in a unique way. Not only can she attack normally like other characters, but she can also deal damage while moving quickly, making her mobile in a fight. The downside, however, is that she can have a hard time dealing damage to mobile bosses. Additionally, her mobility outside of combat is impaired, as although she can glide easily, she cannot climb walls.
Strengths
- Mobile in combat; can deal damage while moving quickly
- Unique damage mechanics with Jellyfish and Cadenza state
- Can group enemies with Ultimate
Weaknesses
- Struggles against mobile bosses
- Cannot climb walls outside combat
- Requires careful rotation to maximize damage

Skill Priority
Cadenza Aria (Skill)
Upgrading only increases damage dealt; can hold off until after Basic Attack and Ultimate.
Dissonance (Support Skill)
No immediate need to upgrade; can delay until later.
Canon Chorus (Ultimate)
Powerful attack that pulls enemies together. Upgrade after Basic Attack.
Capella (Basic Attack)
Bulk of Aurelia's damage comes from Basic Attacks, so prioritize leveling this skill.

How to Play
Aurelia's gameplay focuses on entering Cadenza state via Skill, then using Staccato (hold dodge) to move and deal damage automatically. Apply team buffs before swapping to her, use Ultimate to group enemies, and repeat the rotation when Cadenza ends.
Rotations
- 1 Haniel Skill → Haniel Ultimate → Sakiri Hold Skill → Sakiri Ultimate → Swap to Daffodill (Scorch Trigger) → Daffodill Skill → Daffodill Ultimate → Swap to Aurelia (Nova and Discord Trigger) → Aurelia Ultimate → Aurelia Skill → Aurelia Hold Basic Attack → Daffodill Switch (Phantom Step)
Tips
- Apply All Buffs Before Swapping To Aurelia: Avoid unnecessary swapping to maintain DPS uptime.
- Always Use Aurelia's Skill First: Cadenza Aria triggers the Cadenza state, increasing jellyfish damage.
- Keep Moving While In Staccato: Staccato allows quick movement while auto-attacking; stay mobile to dodge and keep enemies in range.
- Use Her Ultimate To Clump Enemies Together: Canon Chorus pulls enemies together for easier AoE damage.
- Run Aurelia in a Discord Team: Her passive Harmonics deals extra Psyche DMG after Nova, making Discord teams ideal.
