Aria
Who is Aria?
Aria is a limited S-rank Ether Anomaly agent from the Angels of Delusion faction in Zenless Zone Zero. As an Ether Anomaly DPS, she specialises in rapidly building and detonating Ether Anomaly stacks, triggering Ether-based Disorder when paired with another element Anomaly agent. Her Angels of Delusion faction affiliation provides synergy with Nangong Yu and Zhu Yuan. She represents an alternative Ether Anomaly option alongside Vivian Banshee for players building Ether-focused Anomaly compositions.
Kit Summary
Aria's abilities apply Ether Anomaly stacks to enemies; at threshold, triggers Ether Anomaly burst dealing Anomaly-scaling Ether DMG.
Pairing Aria with an Ice, Fire, or Electric Anomaly agent creates frequent Disorder detonations — Ether + element cross-Anomaly explosions that deal very high Anomaly DMG.
Some of her abilities maintain Ether Anomaly pressure off-field, enabling smooth rotation with an on-field DPS.
Passive team-wide bonus when grouped with other Angels of Delusion members (Zhu Yuan, Nangong Yu).
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Chaotic Metal (4pc) — Anomaly Proficiency + increased Anomaly buildup rate. Best-in-slot for maximising her Ether Anomaly application frequency.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Signature W-Engine (Angels of Delusion series) — Anomaly Proficiency + off-field Ether Anomaly enhancement. F2P: Fusion Compiler (4★ Anomaly W-Engine) — Anomaly Proficiency stat stick providing comparable buildup efficiency.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Ether Disorder: Aria + Miyabi (Ice Anomaly) + Soukaku/Rina (Ether + Ice Disorder cycling)
Ether Anomaly: Aria + Nangong Yu + Rina (faction synergy + Stun windows + Ether pen)
F2P Verdict
Aria is a limited S-rank — requires pulling on her banner. Vivian Banshee fills a similar Ether Anomaly role and may be compared depending on rerun availability.
Rina (4-star standard) is her best accessible support providing Ether pen debuff without limited pulls.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Aria the same as Vivian Banshee for Ether Anomaly?
They are both Ether Anomaly agents but from different factions with different kits. Aria is from Angels of Delusion (faction bonus with Zhu Yuan/Nangong Yu); Vivian is from Mockingbird. Both fill Ether Anomaly roles — compare their off-field vs on-field application styles when choosing.
Does Aria need Nangong Yu?
Nangong Yu is her faction partner and provides Stun windows that amplify Aria's Anomaly output. She is not required but provides the best team synergy for an Ether-heavy composition.
What element does Aria pair best with for Disorder?
Ice (Miyabi) is the premium Disorder partner — Ether + Ice Disorder triggers on every Ice Anomaly cycle. Electric (Yanagi) also works for Ether + Electric Disorder with Trigger Stun support.
