by calculated performance

BiSAngel in the ShellS1

Aria's Signature is her best option. The Anomaly Mastery mainstat is key to squeezing value out of her Abloom scaling, and it still matches other S-Rank Anomaly engines in Anomaly Proficiency while adding DMG% and a rarely saturated Anomaly DMG% buff. Its short buff duration calls for some active upkeep.

AltFlight of FancyS1

Vivian's Signature works well as a backup: lots of Anomaly Proficiency and Aria always satisfies its Ether DMG condition, so the full effect is hers. Keep in mind its Anomaly Buildup Rate is not Anomaly Mastery and does nothing for her Abloom scaling.

BudgetElectro-Lip GlossS5

Straightforward stats: decent Anomaly Proficiency, ATK% and DMG%. Aria keeps enemies under Corruption permanently through her Ultimate and Chain Attack multipliers alone, so the engine's condition is met at all times without changing how you play.

BudgetWeeping GeminiS5

Hard to pin an exact number on. Its Anomaly Proficiency bonus can climb very high and only lapses when the target recovers from stun, so Anomaly built before and during stun gets the full buff. Because Aria stuns quickly, uptime can suffer; our figures assume 2 stacks, and some teams will do better.

AltFusion CompilerS1

Workable in theory: Aria builds Fandom Power with her alternate Special and her cheap EX Special gets used often. The catch is an 8s buff whose stacks expire independently, making it tough to maintain. Viable, but it demands specific rotation tweaks.

Energetic Sound Waves

Priority

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%.

Construct's Dream

Priority

Upon entering the battlefield, Aria immediately gains 1,200 Decibels (once every 180s in Investigation Zone mode). 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 stack of All-Out Cheering (once every 6s). When gaining All-Out Cheering at max 3 stacks, excess is converted into 2 Fandom Power and generated on the field.
