Weaknesses
- Hard time dealing damage to mobile bosses.

Best Teams
A team that leverages the Discord Esper Cycle to quickly Break enemies, combining Scorch and Nova for massive damage. Aurelia serves as the Main DPS, supported by Haniel and Sakiri, with Daffodill as Sub-DPS.
Aurelia
Main DPS
Stays on field the most, dealing damage with her Jellyfish.
Haniel
Support
Increases team's damage and deals additional damage with Hootie.
Daffodill
Sub-DPS
Easily Breaks enemies and can inflict Nova alongside Aurelia.
Sakiri
Support
Incantation Support who can push team's damage higher and apply Scorch.
Alternatives
Start by applying all buffs (Haniel Skill and Ultimate, Sakiri Hold Skill and Ultimate).
Swap to Daffodill to apply Scorch and whittle down Break bar with Skill and Ultimate.
Swap to Aurelia to trigger Nova and Discord, then use Ultimate, Skill, and hold Basic Attack to enter Staccato.
Move around while in Staccato to continuously deal damage and dodge.
Once Cadenza wears off, repeat the rotation.
- This team relies on triggering Nova and Discord for extra damage.
Skill Priority
Cadenza Aria (Skill)
As upgrading Aurelia's Skill only improves the damage it deals, you can hold off on upgrading this until after her Basic Attack and Ultimate are upgraded.
Dissonance (Support Skill)
There is no need to upgrade Aurelia's Support Skill immediately, so you can hold off on upgrading this until later.
Canon Chorus (Ultimate)
Canon Chorus is a powerful attack that deals damage while also pulling targets together. Improve this after upgrading Aurelia's Basic Attack.
Capella (Basic Attack)
Because a bulk of Aurelia's damage comes from her Basic Attacks, make sure to prioritize leveling it up.
Awakening Priority
Bygone Fuge
This Awakening increases the amount of Crescendo stacks Aurelia can get to 20, allowing her to get up to 20% bonus ATK as long as her jellyfish attacks enemies.
Unique Melody
Unique Melody allows Aurelia to enter the Cadenza state when performing a Critical Dodge or using her Support Skill. This not only allows her to enter the Cadenza state while her Skill is on cooldown, but it also extends Cadenza's duration if it is already active.
Futuristic Prelude
Activating this Awakening buffs Aurelia's Crit Rate when she is in the Cadenza state, improving her damage output.
Trio Rest
This Awakening improves the damage that Aurelia's Ultimate does when it is used while she is in the Cadenza state.
Simple Melody
Simple Melody increases the Crit Rate of Aurelia's Ultimate, potentially increasing the damage that it deals.
Staff Gap
Activating this Awakening improves Aurelia's Defense when she casts Staccato, which she enters by holding her Basic Attack button. This improves her survivability while she moves around the battlefield.
How to Play
Aurelia is a Main DPS who stays on the field, dealing damage with her Jellyfish. She can enter Cadenza state with her Skill and then Staccato by holding Dodge, allowing her to move while attacking. Her Ultimate groups enemies together. She excels in Discord teams where Nova triggers Harmonics for extra Psyche DMG.

- Apply all buffs before swapping to Aurelia to avoid unnecessary swapping that lowers her DPS uptime.
- Always use Aurelia's Skill first to enter Cadenza state and increase her jellyfish damage.
- Keep moving while in Staccato to dodge attacks and keep enemies in range.
- Use her Ultimate to clump enemies together, making it easier to hit multiple enemies.
- Run Aurelia in a Discord team to trigger Nova and Harmonics for extra Psyche DMG.
