Description
The Kewtian Goddess of Nature comes to Rivals of Aether! Aria is a combo-heavy character with giant, powerful moves and huge ranged attacks.

If you like this, consider leaving a thumbs up for support!

Moveset

Neutral Special
Aria throws a seed in an aimable arc! If it hits an opponent, it will turn into a flower and stick to them. Aria can then hold SPECIAl during attacks to detonate the flower at any time, extending combos.
However, if the seed lands on a floor, it’s planted into the ground and becomes a sapling. Using strongs or directional specials within range of the sapling will grow it into a unique plant depending on what was used.

Side Special
Aria holds up an energy orb to charge Solar Beam! Once she has enough she can shoot a diagonal laser. There are 3 stages of charge, each increasing the size and strength of the beam. The move also has a close-range grab hitbox which heals Aria and confirms into the beam.
The charge for this move also increases passively while Aria deals damage to opponents, absorbs projectiles with DSpecial, etc.

Up Special
Aria teleports! Has a hitbox at the start and at the end, and the former grabs opponents and brings them with her. Landing the grab also allows you to cancel the endlag and restores your recovery resources back (besides USpecial itself).
If you have the USpecial plant out, holding SPECIAL will also allow Aria to teleport to the plant, instead!

Down Special
Aria hovers and surrounds herself in an energy shield, which absorbs projectiles and heals her! Releasing the button also has a hitbox, which can be cancelled on hit.
DSpecial can also be used to recover by floating horizontally if you have momentum.

Aria's Garden

Aria also comes with a stage; Aria's Garden!
Aria's Woods

In addition to Aria's Garden, Aria also has a previously released stage; Aria's Woods!

Extras
- Aria has many taunts, such as normal, up, and down taunts! She also has a secret one if you hold Attack...
- Aria will heal Matt slightly more than other characters!
- If you hold Shield and press Attack a lot during the start of the match, you can enable a special mode which makes Aria much stronger... Use with care.
Although note that this won't work unless the opponent is holding Jump to allow you to use this mode, or if the opponent is a CPU. This is mainly to prevent people from abusing this feature online.
- Set an Aria CPU to Level 1 for boss mode! This mode isn't invincible, but Aria will use more of her power!

@FelixBlobDev Oh wow, thanks for answering! I'm a big fan of your work, I actually main Morshu, I.M. Meen, and am just now picking up Dan Backslide and Mudkip. Thanks for the continued quality of your work, you're one of the best workshop creators on steam, imo.

@TheDeathEcchi No problem, haha! It's just a sweetspot kind of thing, but hitting the "sourspot" and making DStrong a standard hit can be beneficial too.
Plus, if you hold the strong input then the attack will ignore projectiles (standard for most of our characters w grabs). So there's lots of depth depending on the situation!

And thank you! As of Christmas Morshu the other day, we're at 23 characters now. There's definitely more coming though!

Thank you a ton! That was driving me nuts! I can’t wait to see what else you come up with~!

@TheDeathEcchi Hi and thank you for checking out Aria! Always nice to see, haha! Feel free to leave a vote if you enjoy her!

Anyways for your question: Her DStrong is a grab, so you basically either use it on projectiles or hit a player with the center part of the orbs. If you grab something then she will go into the rest of the move, but if not it's a more standard hit (which can also be useful, sometimes).

Hope that helps and let me know if you got any more questions!

There's this one attack I can't seem to nail down; she transitions from her down strong into growing huge and summoning stars?

@Krabbo98
Oh it's fairly simple! It creates a zone where any damage Aria does to opponents heals her. Think of it as a healing zone, but instead of healing Aria passively it heals a portion of the damage dealt, haha.
Although damage has to be done while in range for it to work. And if an opponent destroys the plant then Aria will take 10% damage herself, so you have to protect it (which also means it can be smart to remove it before it takes too much damage, too).

Hope that helps explain it a bit better, but if not (or you have any other questions), then I'm always available to help!

Does anybody know what the new down special plant does? I can't seem to figure it out.

@king of pronouns
Thank you so much! It means a lot to be considered one of the best, haha!
Also, if you like the mods, make sure to give them a like! It helps them get seen even more so that more people might discover them!

Still, again, thank you and glad you enjoy the characters! Make sure to check out all the 20+ we got so far. :)

@champagne.daniel
Yes! I didn't really want to remove it, even if the new DSpecial plant is a bit more useful most of the time. After having a seed planted you can get the fruit tree by just taunting next to it!
