Aria Kit, Gameplay & Signature W-Engine | ZZZ 2.6

Following ZZZ, SUNNA quickly announced the second limited S-rank character for version 2.6, "Aria." Her skills, gameplay, and other information have already been revealed. This pink-haired girl has undoubtedly won the hearts of many Proxies. Today, let’s take a look at Aria’s kit together with LDShop and get familiar with the character in advance!

Aria Overview

Rarity	Specialty	Attribute
S	Anomaly	Ether

Aria is a pink-haired character with both human and robot forms, classified as an Ether Anomaly type. And since her exclusive Drive Disc has already been released in version 2.5, she must be an S-rank character. She’s said to be a cute little crybaby, too. With two forms and unique mechanics, she could bring some interesting strategy to the game.

 

Signature W-Engine
