(Info Updated on 06 March 2026)
Aria is an Anomaly DPS unit in Zenless Zone Zero. Build her with Phaeton's Melody (4pcs) and Freedom Blues (2pcs), with her BiS W-Engine Angel in the Shell for better damage output.
Aria is an Ether Anomaly DPS in Zenless Zone Zero, associated with the Angels of Delusion faction. In contrary to other Anomaly DPS prior, Aria's focus is on constant Abloom triggers through her charged Basic Attacks, which can be further boosted when targeting stunned enemies. Managing her Fandom Power stacks and timing stun windows will be vital to her overall rotations.
1. Build Guide: Role, Mechanics & Team Use
Character Introduction
Aria is an Ether Anomaly agent from the Angels of Delusion faction.
Role & Mechanics
Aria is a Anomaly Abloom DPS. Her gameplay revolves around managing Fandom Power stacks, which will be used to boost her charged Basic Attack. Her core passive lets her trigger Abloom a lot, which is essentially the majority part of her high damage numbers. Said Abloom damage will then be boosted if the enemies targeted are stunned, meaning stun windows will be important for her damage output.
Meta Relevance
Aria can deal decently high damage in general Anomaly teams, but she shines the best in full AoD lineup. Given the latest boss is designed for Aria, she will be likely stronger against certain endgame stages.
Pros & Cons
Aria not only is cheap to invest, her easy playstyle also lets her deal high damage. That being said, her overall performance is essentially team reliant, while her BiS drive discs Shining Aria gets overshadowed by Phaeton's Melody, which was released before V2.0.
Build
Aria should be built with 4pc Phaeton's Melody OR 4pc Shining Aria plus 2pc Freedom Blues (AP), focusing on ATK and AP main stats until around ~350 AP. Her best W-Engine is Angel in the Shell (5★), with Flight of Fancy (5★), Weeping Gemini (4★), or Electro Lip Gloss (4★) as substitutes. After leveling up Core skill, prioritize her Basic Attack, Special Attack and Chain Attack. Her M1 is recommended for Anomaly buildup RES ignore and Abloom Crit hits.
Pull Priority
A recommended Anomaly DPS even if you do not plan to build AoD team. Prioritze her W-Engine over her Mindscapes.

Team Building
Best paired with Stun unit (Dialyn/Lycaon/etc.) or Support unit (Sunna/Yuzuha/etc.). Once Nangong Yu (Stun) is released, Angel of Delusion team (Aria+Nangong+Sunna) will be her ideal premium lineup.
