Review & Analysis

Aria is a Water Attacker manufactured by Tetra. Despite her Attacker classification, her kit leans toward team support: Skill 1 boosts critical damage for all allies the moment Full Burst begins, and Skill 2 boosts critical rate for the whole team on the last bullet hit — together making every Attacker's crits hit harder. Her Burst generates a shield for the whole team based on her max HP, while also boosting her own hit rate — combining squad protection with improved shooting stability.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Skill 1 (team-wide critical damage buff, triggers right at Full Burst) → Burst (team shield) → Skill 2 (critical rate buff, short duration).

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst, per KR community): 1/1/1 → 4/4/4 → 7/4/7 → 10/4/10. Why: Skill 1 (early-burst Critical Damage buff) and Burst (HP shield) matter equally, while Skill 2 (last-bullet Critical Rate buff) is lowest priority due to its short-lived effect.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

Skill 1 buffs the whole team's Critical Damage right when entering Full Burst, triggering automatically with no complex condition.
Ultimate both grants a squad-wide HP shield and boosts her own Hit Rate — good support and self-defense at once.
Her MG's continuous fire makes Skill 2's last-bullet Critical Rate buff trigger consistently.

Weaknesses

The Ultimate's HP shield scales off her own Max HP, so she needs an HP-focused build to reach full support value.
No Burst CDR mechanic, so her support-loop value is lower than Liter or Volume.
Her MG's normal-attack damage isn't as high as faster weapons if built as a Support.
