Aurelia Best Build Guide

Aurelia is a Psyche Attribute character who performs the Damage role in combat. She first appeared in the quest related to Akane in the beta as an NPC-only character, and was finally turned into a playable one once the game was released. The question is: can she do anything besides ride a jellyfish, or can she walk the walk in combat? Because she can’t even walk outside of combat either (no really).

Well, guess she and that jellyfish are glued together, because that’s how she fights too. Her gameplay is all about riding her jelly around the enemy, and you can’t do that if you’re not on-field consistently, so she is likely going to function as the main DPS for your team.

If you hold dodge while moving, you get to ride your jellyfish at high speed (Cadenza State). While doing this, you generate jelly blasts automatically if enemies are in range, while consuming stamina. If you perform a dodge during this state, Critical Riposte: Syncopation automatically fires four jellyfish blasts. Plus, with her passive Crescendo, every time you hit something with your jellyfish, you also increase her attack up to 10 stacks (doubled with her A6). 

She requires good stamina management as you cannot enter her special state if her stamina is below 40.

These jellyfish blasts can deal a lot of damage in her Cadenza state, which she can activate using her skill Cadenza Aria. It deals an additional 70% damage with jellyfish blasts and also inflicts AoE damage to enemies around the target.

Her ultimate, Canzon Chorus, gathers enemies together and deals damage. It’s pretty simple.

Since she is an A Rank, you will be getting her awakenings eventually, which is great because those awakenings come with multiple buffs to Cadenza, better crit rate, more damage while in Cadenza, improved ultimate damage, and increased Cadenza duration. What I’m trying to say is she is all about that jellyfish life all day long, and she has one of the most mobile on-field playstyles in the cast. If you get all her awakenings, she also gains team support by increasing all allies’ Psyche DMG when she enters the Cadenza state or when its duration is extended.

She’s a pretty unique character to play, but not difficult per se. It depends on your preferences. Her gameplay is simple: cast her skill, hold dodge to ride the jellyfish, dodge attacks in that state, then use basic to trigger Critical Riposte, and hold dodge again to re-enter it. That’s basically it, and if your Ultimate is ready, just use it.
