How Aria fits a formation
Aria is a Mage built around back-line magic carry and dual-debuff engine. Protect the channel and decide early whether the run needs damage scaling, stronger debuffs, or team shielding.
Aria base stats
Derived comparison values
EHP and EOFF are comparison composites; Sec / cast estimates a passive mana-fill interval. They help compare records but are not separate in-game stats.
Aria ranks
Draft a duplicate of Aria or use an eligible campfire event to rank up. Rank B chooses a fixed specialization; Rank A and S draft from the active class modifier pool.
Rank C
The base stat line starts with the active ability equipped.
Requiem Barrage
Channel an energy beam for 2.5 seconds. Each half second, deal 15 (+ 100% Magic ) damage, inflict 1 per 15 Magic Frost , and inflict 1 per 10 Magic Burn to all enemies inside the beam.
Rank B
The first rank-up also chooses one of three fixed specializations. A path can add a class and change later offers.
The Crescendo
On Stall trigger, permanently gain 3 Magic . After Stall ( 20 , Stall 40 , and Stall 60 ), gain + 50 % Magic and increase the duration of Requiem Barrage by 1 second.
The Resplendent
Mages inflict 20% (+10% per rank ) more Debuffs . Backup. Aria inflicts an additional 50% more Debuffs .
The Harmony
+ MysticRequiem Barrage Shields Heroes for 50% Magic + 500% Mana Regen .
Rank A
Gain the stat package above, then choose from modifiers generated by Aria's active class set.
Rank S
Gain the stat package a final time and draft the last class modifier to complete the current Demo build.
Possible class modifiers
Later ranks offer modifiers from the hero's active class pool. Multiclass heroes receive a split offer set, so both class groups should contain useful outcomes before committing.

How to build around Aria
- Preserve the first job.Make sure Aria can already perform the role described above before adding a second engine.
- Choose a repeatable trigger.Match the specialization to an effect the current team can activate every fight.
- Protect the delivery condition.Range, mana, survival, and target access usually matter before another damage multiplier.
- Read the later pool.Choose an added class only when its Rank A/S modifier outcomes support the same plan.

Guild profile
Guild L'Héritage - “Excellence is a legacy.” Balanciaga ain't got nothing on us. All about items and stat scaling.
Background
A famous singer years before her Awakening. When her powers grew, her voice swelled, a choir rose with it. She still performs, and takes rift contracts between tours; letting her power loose in a rift is the one thing that quiets the choir.
Motivation
The voices grow restless between fights. She's looking for a guild that keeps them singing.
