As a powerful Anomaly dealer specializing in Ether Corrosion damage, she excels in applying debuffs and dealing massive off-field damage. To fully unlock her potential, players must gather specific materials for her ascension (promotion) and skill upgrades. This guide details every material required, organized by phase, with totals and farming locations.
Ascension (Promotion) Materials
Aria's ascension requires Anomaly Certification Seals, farmed primarily from Combat Simulation in the VR Device. Use the "Promotion Material Training" mode and select enemies like Assault Gunners (20 Battery each) to yield Basic, Advanced, and Controller Seals efficiently.
Per-Phase Requirements
| Level | Materials | Denny |
|---|---|---|
| 10 → 20 | Basic Anomaly Certification Seal ×4 | 24,000 |

| 30 → 40 | Advanced Anomaly Certification Seal ×20 | 120,000 |
| 40 → 50 | Controller Certification Seal ×10 | 200,000 |
| 50 → 60 | Controller Certification Seal ×20 | 400,000 |
Total for Level 60

Skill Upgrade Materials
Aria's skills (Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, Chain Attack) all use the same Ether Chip progression. These are farmed from Combat Simulation's "Skill Training" mode using Ionized Farbauti enemies (20 Battery each). Core Skill uses separate boss materials.
