- Unique jellyfish attacks allow her to attack from a distance.
- Passive skill synergizes extremely well with Nova/Discord teams.
Weaknesses
- Has a hard time dealing damage to mobile bosses.
- Cannot climb walls, limiting exploration mobility.
- Requires specific team setups (Nova/Discord) to reach her full potential.

Best Teams
Aurelia is the main DPS, supported by characters who buff, break enemies, and help trigger Nova/Discord to amplify her damage.
Aurelia
Main DPS
Stays on the field the most and deals damage with her jellyfish attacks.
Haniel
Support
Increases team damage and deals additional damage with Hootie.
Daffodill
Sub-DPS
Easily breaks enemies and can apply Nova alongside Aurelia.
Sakiri
Support
Incantation Support that pushes the team's damage higher and helps apply Scorch and Discord.
Alternatives
Start combat by applying all buffs and shields, then swap to Daffodill to apply Scorch and break enemies.
Swap to Aurelia to trigger Nova and Discord. Use her Ultimate to group enemies, then her Skill to enter Cadenza.
Enter Staccato by holding the dodge button and move constantly to deal damage while avoiding attacks.
After Cadenza ends, reapply buffs and repeat the rotation.
- This rotation assumes Sakiri and Daffodill have full Cycle Energy.
- Aurelia's passive Harmonics deals extra Psyche DMG after Nova, making Discord teams her optimal setup.
Skill Priority
Cadenza Aria (Skill)
Upgrading the Skill only improves its damage, so hold off until after Basic Attack and Ultimate are upgraded.
Dissonance (Support Skill)
No need to upgrade the Support Skill immediately; wait until the other skills are improved.
Canon Chorus (Ultimate)
A powerful attack that deals damage while pulling targets together. Upgrade this after Basic Attack.
Capella (Basic Attack)
A bulk of Aurelia's damage comes from her Basic Attacks, so prioritize leveling this skill first.
Awakening Priority
Bygone Fuge
Increases Crescendo stacks to 20, allowing up to 20% bonus ATK as long as her jellyfish attacks enemies.
Unique Melody
Allows Aurelia to enter Cadenza state on Critical Dodge or Support Skill, extending Cadenza's duration if already active.
Futuristic Prelude
Buffs Aurelia's CRIT Rate while in Cadenza state, improving her damage output.
Trio Rest
Improves the damage of Aurelia's Ultimate when used while in Cadenza state.
Simple Melody
Increases the CRIT Rate of Aurelia's Ultimate, potentially increasing its damage.
Staff Gap
Improves Aurelia's Defense when she casts Staccato, increasing survivability while moving around the battlefield.
How to Play
Aurelia's gameplay loop focuses on entering Cadenza as often as possible, using Staccato to move and auto-attack, and leveraging her Ultimate to group enemies. She thrives in Discord teams where her passive can trigger Nova and deal bonus Psyche DMG.
