Aurelia
Aurelia is a 4★ Psyche DPS built around the Plasma arc type, landing in the T2 tier as a solid but not top-priority damage option. She holds her place in the meta as a dependable mid-tier pick rather than a standout, making her a reasonable choice when stronger DPS units are unavailable.
Best Arcs
- Best
- Stellar Veil
- Alternatives
- Oraora!
- F2P
- Stellar Veil (free via login event)
- Cartridge
- Devil's Blood: Curse
A standout F2P investment: her signature Stellar Veil is guaranteed free from the login event, stacking ATK%, Psyche DMG and Crit DMG on her dodge-attack playstyle. Oraora! bridges early game; Devil's Blood: Curse is the recommended cartridge.
Recommended setups from community build guides (~June 2026); not the only viable option.
How Aurelia plays
Aurelia is a dodge-centric Psyche DPS who thrives on weaving evasions into her offense, converting well-timed dodges into amplified attack strings. Her tempo is fast and reactive: bait an incoming hit, slip past it, and punish with empowered follow-ups that build her Crescendo stacks. Damage ramps as those stacks accumulate, rewarding aggressive but precise play rather than mindless mashing. She slots cleanly into a Plasma-leaning core as the primary carry, leaning on teammates to soak attention, set up windows, and extend her uptime. With her Cadenza state online, her crit ceiling spikes, letting her dump concentrated burst between dodges. Pair her with supports who can buff attack or grant survivability so she can stay in the fight and keep the stack engine spinning.
Strengths
- Exceptional F2P value, since her signature Stellar Veil arc is handed out free through a login event
- Strong single-target burst once Crescendo stacks build and her Cadenza state activates
- Dodge-attack playstyle that rewards skill and keeps her offensively engaged
- Stellar Veil stacks ATK%, Psyche DMG and Crit DMG, perfectly matching her scaling
- Flexible arc options from budget Fluff of Fortitude to F2P Song of the Whale ease early progression
- Crit-focused awakening path delivers a meaningful Crit Rate spike that smooths her stat investment
Weaknesses
- Dodge-reliant tempo punishes mistimed evasions, raising the skill floor
- As a 4★ T2 her overall ceiling trails top-tier carries
- Ramp-up nature means she needs time and uptime to reach peak damage
Aurelia build details
Skill priority
Prioritise her Basic attack first, as it is the backbone of her dodge-into-offense loop and the primary driver of Crescendo stacks. Follow with the Ultimate for burst payoff, then the QTE to extend uptime and chain windows, and finally the Skill. This order maximises sustained output where she spends most of her active time.
Stat priority
Run CRIT Rate on Slot 1 and ATK% on Slot 2 to anchor her crit reliability and raw scaling. For substats, chase CRIT DMG first to push burst, then CRIT Rate to keep crits consistent, followed by ATK% and finally generic DMG%. This ordering leans into her crit-heavy damage profile and Cadenza spikes.
Modules & cartridge
Build the full Devil's Blood Curse set as her best-in-slot core, matching her Plasma arc identity and DPS scaling. Pair it with the Devil's Blood: Curse cartridge. Allocate your gear stats around the crit pieces, locking CRIT Rate and ATK% on the main slots while funnelling rolls into CRIT DMG to amplify her empowered dodge follow-ups.
Awakening nodes
Focus on A1 and A6, which are her most impactful nodes. A1 (Futuristic Prelude) grants a 15% Crit Rate boost while in the Cadenza state, directly fueling her crit-driven burst, while A6 rounds out her damage. Other nodes are lower priority until these are secured.
Investment
Invest steadily to keep her attack scaling competitive, prioritising level-ups that raise her base damage and stack uptime. Secure her Stellar Veil arc from the login event early, then refine gear before chasing deeper awakening nodes for a strong, low-cost carry.
