"Pulling all-nighters to write songs? No sweat! Just thinking about
having my music brought to life by Aria's voice makes me feel like I could
write a hundred more!" — Sunna, while interacting with her fan group late at night
"Sunna, quick, grab your phone! Play any song from Lady Cersea or
Miss Vesper!!" — Nangong has her own tricks for dealing with a tired Aria
"She's the lead vocalist, but she can dance non-stop for so long... Are we
sure she's not an intelligent construct in disguise?" — Blurted out
unintentionally by an audience member, who's already out of breath just
from cheering
"Mom! There was this super pretty lady in the Hollow just now... She
saved me while singing and dancing!" — Ethereals may not be into music, but
luckily, Aria's got some pretty metal skills up her sleeve

Aria's Core Passives
Aria's Anomaly Proficiency increases by 90.
If Aria's 3rd hit of Basic Attack: Perfect Pitch lands a heavy attack on an enemy suffering an Ether, Electric, Fire, Physical, Ice, or Wind Anomaly, it will trigger Abloom, which resolves an additional instance of Attribute Anomaly DMG equal to 27.5%/14.3%/35.7%/2.5%/3.6%/1.4 per 10 points of initial Anomaly Mastery of the original Anomaly DMG. If the target is Stunned, the DMG ratio is further increased by 50%.
When another character in your squad is a Stun or Support character, or shares the same Faction:
When Ether Veil is activated, 4 Fandom Power are generated on the field. This can trigger once every 1s.
When any squad member applies Corruption to an enemy, its duration is extended by 3s.

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%.
When Aria attacks or triggers Abloom, it ignores 16% of the target's DEF. During Moment of Delusion, attacks and Abloom triggers also ignore an additional 8% of the target's DEF.
