How to play
Decision notes for shops and formation — not a copy of the in-game panel.
Early
Protect the backline first. She is a carry, not an opener. Mana/Magic come after a tank exists.
Mid
Crescendo = Stall permanent Magic and longer beams. Resplendent = team Mage Debuff amp. Harmony = beam also Shields allies. Pick Stall snowball, tribal Debuffs, or peel support.
Late
Stack Stall and Magic. Keep her alive for full channels — a cancelled beam is a lost fight plan.
Positioning
Back row aimed down the main lane so the beam covers where packs actually stand. Re-aim after losses; do not assume the default angle is correct.

FAQ
Common questions when this hero shows up in the shop or draft.
Is Aria good in Guildrun?
Top-tier Mage carry when protected and aimed well. Feels terrible if she channels into empty space or dies mid-beam. Buy with a tank plan.
What class is Aria?
Mage. Role focus: back-line dual Burn/Frost channel carry.
What relics work with Aria?
Mage Elemental/Cataclysm pieces, Stall enablers for Crescendo, and Arcane amplifiers.
How do you play Aria?
Tank for her, aim Requiem Barrage down the pack path, stack Stall/Magic, and pick Crescendo for snowball or Harmony if you need Shields from the beam.
Tips
- After every loss, ask: did the beam hit? If not, move her or the tank before rerolling relics.
- Crescendo without Stall is half-powered — add Stall or switch branch.
