• Sticking to Kiria’s Attack and Resistance tends to be her best case use, as her other stats do not stand out much without heavy investment. As a result, either an Attack or Resistance Asset can be taken for this build which will focus on taking advantage of the natural strength of Kiria’s statline. Dropping Kiria’s Speed is recommended for all builds she runs, as her Speed is too low to ever consider investing into.
• Unity Blooms provides less of an Attack and Resistance debuff than Mirage Rod does, but the 4 HP regeneration whenever Kiria lands an attack is too good to pass up on to the point where Mirage Rod realistically is only worth using as the budget option in the event that one lacks the ability to give Unity Blooms to Kiria. Unity Blooms should be refined for Resistance in this build to help Kiria become more magically sturdy.
• A low cooldown Special is recommended for Kiria to be able to access a Special very consistently whenever she has to partake in combat. Any of the choices between Ruptured Sky, Glimmer, and Moonbow are all valid, though keep in mind Ruptured Sky’s damage might be lower than it would otherwise be as a result of Unity Blooms and Mirage Rod’s attack debuff. Iceberg is Kiria’s default Special and can be used for a more delayed Special that takes advantage of Kiria’s high Resistance stat.
• Atk/Res Finish 4 gives an impressive Attack and Resistance bonus within combat while also giving Kiria some extra damage and healing if her Special is triggered in combat or is ready when combat begins. A low cooldown Special was recommended specifically with Atk/Res Finish 4 consistency in mind. A somewhat cheaper alternative is Atk/Res Unity which can nullify debuffs on Kiria and is on a couple more units making it potentially easier to obtain. Atk/Res Solo is Kiria’s default A Passive and it can function here as well with just raw stat bonuses and no utility as a budget choice, though the Solo condition might be somewhat annoying to work around especially as an ally needs to be close to activate Unity Blooms.
• Atk/Res Tempo is a significant upgrade to Lull Atk/Res as it removes an opponent’s Special cooldown bonuses they may possess while also making Kiria not have to worry about the Guard effect ruining her Special consistency. Special Spiral is another option worth considering to synergize well with Atk/Res Finish, and if paired with Glimmer can even give Kiria a viable Player Phase nuke option. Kiria’s default Lull Atk/Res can be used as a budget choice, though it definitely will come in handy less often by comparison.
• Atk Smoke 4 is highly recommended for Kiria to run in the C Passive as the Skill vastly increases her survivability with the combined forces of the Attack debuff on opponents, the Defense and Resistance buff on Kiria, as well as gaining the ability to deny a foe’s follow-up attacks so that Kiria’s low Speed is less of an issue. Other C Passive options that are recommended can comprise of Atk/Res Menace for extra stat bonuses in Kiria’s favor for those unlucky to get too close to her, or Joint Drive Res for a mixture of support and in combat boosting that has good synergy with Unity Blooms wanting Kiria to be near allies to begin with. The C Passive is flexible otherwise, but Atk Smoke 4 would be the best choice as of this point in time to seek out.

• Kiria’s Defense stat is not particularly massive, but it is decent enough compared to her Resistance to where if invested into, Kiria can become a decent mixed tank. A Defense Asset is recommended more than a Resistance Asset as to assist Kiria’s otherwise weaker defensive stat, though either or can work well. Alternatively, if one loves Kiria enough to use an Ascendant Floret on her, you could very well go with both Defense and Resistance Assets which would be the best case scenario.
• Much of the build remains the same as the previous build, though with the shift to a mixed focus, Close Reversal as well as a Defense refined Unity Blooms is taken in order to boost Kiria’s Defense to a point where she can better handle physical tanking. Close Counter can work as an easier to access alternative to Close Reversal, but the lack of an extra Defense boost will definitely make a difference from time to time. Bonfire becomes a viable Special for Kiria to consider as well, but only if her Defense investment ends up higher than her Resistance stat. Joint Drive Def should be considered as the Joint Drive of choice over Joint Drive Res if going for one of those C Passive options.
