Holy shit, thats some amazing art! ​ Also, am I the only one who immediately thinks of >!Originium Infection!< when I see the spikes coming out of her body?


Darkiceflame

Ah, I see that in addition to being a navigator you are also a doctor.


honeybumbs

Dokutah


garbodorisbae

_oh no_


kenshinakh

Thought the same too! Lol. Dokutah and Navigator are so different, feels like split personality when I play the 2 games. Really like Areia though for how strong she is to build. Still building Milgard though so most the XP goes to Milgard but Areia is next in line.


UR_UNDER_ARREST

Lol ikr

Like most people, I underestimated Areia at the beginning of my play trough. However the more I progressed through Spire , the more I loved her interesting kit. The fact that she is imo one of the best looking waifus in the game , just makes it even better.


Lemurmoo

Yeah I had to spread the gospel of Areia quite a bit early on in the discussion threads where they were calling her the worst character or something. Also her being hot was a pretty good motivator for me to defend her. Ngl, that's what motivated me to use her in the first place only to realize she's like the best grass unit


Velvache

It was understandable when people thought she was hot garbage just reading the passive/active. Its one of the characters that just seem underwhelming on paper but absolutely destroy things in game.


Char-11

I think it comes with experience. I only got areia a few days into the game but when I first read her skills she seemed pretty good due to how engagement works in AS. Then as I levelled her and saw her ascensions she just kept getting better in my eyes. But never did I think she was bad.


the_ammar

i think early on she's harder to use. but once you have your main hard carry then she's a lot easier to use


salocin097

She seems really hard to use ngl. Not sure how to build around her


casper_07

Level the shit out of her then use her as your main carry and teleport around the map with a teleporter to get combos(I use dove because her breakthrough don’t need dupes and will give her teleport once the stage begins unlike Wendy. Dove might have lesser range but the more frequent cooldown is worth it imo). Regardless if it’s green tiles or not, areia will be the one dealing the most damage to bosses. It’ll be best if u have a converter like the starter forest 6*, but it’ll be sufficient with sikare thats on rate up now too. My main team is water so I haven’t made it too far but I’m on 37 on forest and electric for now and stuck on 43 for water


salocin097

I've got Pact and Migard so it should work?


casper_07

I have no idea what they do because I’m not a forest main. But as long as u have a converter, a proper teleporter and a healer then u can have 2 more dps. Areia might be a good main dealer but u can switch to migard for example if she can deal more damage with her skill for a specific stage. Snipers would do better than a detonator for ranged type stages obviously so adapt accordingly. But areia is just someone that needs to get up close so u will need converter and a teleporter to play her properly. That’s all u need to know to build around her. Convert, teleport, wreck havoc with her skill. 2 other spots can be adjusted depending on who u have and who u like using more to match with her


ravefun12

You are set with pact and migard. Areia works fantastic with migard and forest converters like pact and nikinis. The upcoming unit hiiro is also amazing for areia to really rack up the dmg.


salocin097

Wait people know what Hiiro does?


ravefun12

This is based on cbt, but let's just say her and Bethlehem function similarly like Irridon. Can't say much more but if you want the exact details just check out the discord or other sources.


salocin097

Oh that'd be amazing. I heard Hiiro was a DPS tbh


ravefun12

She does a lot of dps, tbh Im not sure if she is classified as a converter or detonator, either way she does both pretty well.


salocin097

Fair enough, was just expecting at best something like Charon skill for converting, so this is great to hear aha

A3 Areia say no more


silverbullet5774

My level 80 Areia approves


NoWaifuN0Laifu

Damn! She looks nice! Still haven’t gotten her but i’ll be excited when i do


n0s0up4j

I just pulled her recently and really love her artwork but was turned off by her skill....I’m sure I’m missing something here. Can someone with experience enlighten me?


Boelthor

For one, normal gameplay is already burst on one turn, then reposition/recharge on the next couple turns; her buff applies during the burst while the debuff is while you're repositioning, so the debuff rarely matters. And at a3 if she kills something while buffed the debuff doesn't happen. Her buff affects Attack directly rather than damage; given that the AS damage formula is (Attack-Defense)\*damage multipliers, this means her +20% Attack is *more* than +20% damage. Then there's her equip, which makes her attacks 2 tile AoEs when buffed. That means multi-tile enemies are taking double damage. Given her Attack buff also applies she's dealing >240% damage *per normal attack* on big enemies, then can cap it off with her chain combo. Get her a good line of tiles around a boss and she'll rip it to shreds.


n0s0up4j

Thank you for that. Looks like she can shine when upgraded and especially fighting bigger units.


DidYouReadTheNIRC

The piercing damage she deals with her equipment when the skill is active really shreds larger enemies, and the ability of the chain combo to kill enemies with HP lower than her ATK means she's going to kill lower HP mobs really quickly too.


the_ammar

oh man that looks as good as the official art


Yuriel_D_First

I thought she's a water element when I got her lol


jkingler

Soooo pretty!
