DragonSword: Awakening How to Use Aria
Last updated: July 2026
Fire and Airborne bomb setups, detonation chains, and AoE tag-team finishers.
Aria's Bomb Specialist Kit
Aria fights with throwable bombs applying Fire and Airborne across groups. When enemies launch airborne, she fires additional arrows and detonates them for burst AoE — the classic finisher in the Lute-Castella-Aria tag loop shown in the embedded preview.
Tag-Team Finisher Role
Let Castella Break and Stun, Lute extend Stun with Knockdown, then swap to Aria for bomb chains that keep groups airborne. Against Super Armor elites, throw bombs until Airborne triggers, break armor, then land Stun Blow for extended damage phases. Controller players should enable lock-on at launch for accurate bomb placement on mobile targets.
Unlock and Builds
Recruit Aria through Johnny Mercenary main requests — available in the demo sandbox after Chapter 1. Core pick for Airborne teams and high demo tier lists. See the Aria character profile for full Status Ailment details.
