Overview

Remembrance DPS whose Garmentmaker summon converts SPD into ATK at extreme speeds during Supreme Stance. The 350-Energy Ultimate creates severe energy dependency, but proper supports enable burst windows where Joint ATKs proc on-hit effects twice.

CRIT-focused Remembrance DPS who summons the memosprite Garmentmaker and enters Supreme Stance via a 350-Energy Ultimate. During Supreme Stance, Aglaea gains Garmentmaker's SPD Boost stacks (up to 90% SPD increase), and her Basic ATK becomes an Enhanced Joint ATK with Garmentmaker dealing Blast Lightning DMG. The A2 Trace converts combined SPD into flat ATK (720% of Aglaea's SPD + 360% of Garmentmaker's SPD), making SPD the primary offensive stat. Outside Supreme Stance, damage output is minimal.

Key Mechanics

Joint ATK during Supreme Stance counts as two separate attacks (one from Aglaea, one from Garmentmaker), triggering on-hit effects twice per Joint ATK. This double-proc is critical for Robin's Concerto damage and energy recovery.
Garmentmaker gains +55 flat SPD per attack on Seam Stitch enemies, stacking up to 6 times (330 total SPD bonus). These stacks are shared with Aglaea during Supreme Stance as percentage SPD boosts (15% per stack, up to 90%). Stacks reset when Garmentmaker disappears unless preserved by A4 Trace.
Energy economy is the defining constraint — 350 Energy cost is the highest in the game. Percentage-based Energy restores (Sunday ~70 Energy, Huohuo ~70 Energy) are far more effective than flat restores. Without external Energy support, sustaining Supreme Stance is extremely difficult.
Sunday's Skill advances both Aglaea and Garmentmaker, granting bonus actions during Supreme Stance. Most other Harmony supports (Bronya, Tingyun) can only buff Aglaea, not Garmentmaker.
During Supreme Stance, Garmentmaker is immune to Crowd Control debuffs. However, Garmentmaker can still be killed by enemy attacks, ending Supreme Stance prematurely and resetting all SPD stacks.

Best Aglaea Teams

Hypercarry

Aglaea's core composition pairing action advance and energy supports to sustain Supreme Stance cycling. Premium version uses Sunday and Robin for dual action advances and double Concerto procs from Joint ATKs. Cyrene variant dominates Apocalyptic Shadow by instantly maxing Garmentmaker SPD stacks and providing 72% DMG buff plus 36% DEF ignore. Sustain choice between Huohuo for energy or Permansor Terrae for damage.

C-tier: Aglaea, Trailblazer • Remembrance, Hanya, Huohuo

Chrysos Heir Hypercarry

Aglaea E1 enables a Chrysos Heir shell where Cyrene and Permansor Terrae supply the Ode and Souldragon core while Tribbie fills the second amplifier slot. The team trades Sunday's direct action advance for Chrysos Heir routing, RES PEN, Vulnerability, and high-frequency Zone damage from Aglaea's Blast Joint ATKs.

Sustains: Huohuo (S), Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae (A), Hyacine (B), Aventurine (C), Fu Xuan (C)

Aglaea Investment Priority

E1 — Priority first target — solves energy economy by regenerating 20 Energy per hit, enabling chained Ultimates and sustained Supreme Stance. Also adds 15% increased DMG on Seam Stitch target.
LC S1 — Signature provides base SPD bonus enabling the 160 SPD breakpoint without sacrificing CRIT stats, plus stacking CRIT DMG and Basic ATK DMG from Garmentmaker attacks.

Aglaea Relics and Stat Targets

Recommended: Hero of Triumphant Song with The Wondrous BananAmusement Park

Stat targets: SPD 134-160, CRIT Rate 80-100%, CRIT DMG 100-140%+, ATK 1900-2200+

Main stats: Body: CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG · Feet: SPD > ATK% · Sphere: Lightning DMG · Rope: Energy Regen > ATK%

Best Aglaea Light Cones

Time Woven Into Gold (Best in Slot): Best LC by a significant margin. The base SPD bonus (16 at S1) enables the 160 SPD breakpoint without sacrificing offensive substats — critical since Aglaea's A2 Trace converts SPD directly into ATK (720% of Aglaea SPD + 360% of Garmentmaker SPD). Provides stacking CRIT DMG per attack plus Basic ATK DMG at max stacks, both of which have near-permanent uptime from the Joint ATK frequency.
Sweat Now, Cry Less: Strong generic Remembrance option. CRIT Rate bonus aids reaching CRIT cap. DMG increase when the memosprite is on the field applies to both Aglaea and Garmentmaker with full uptime since Garmentmaker is nearly always present. Solid alternative when the signature is unavailable.
Reminiscence: Performance scales directly with action frequency during Supreme Stance. With Sunday or Robin providing action advances, Aglaea and Garmentmaker move extremely frequently, maximizing stack uptime before Garmentmaker disappears and resets stacks. Falls off significantly without action advance supports.
Geniuses' Greetings: Budget option providing ATK% and Basic ATK DMG boost after Ultimate. Loses value significantly in teams with multiple action advances (Sunday, Robin) because the 3-turn buff expires quickly when Aglaea takes 4+ actions per Ultimate window. Best in slower setups using base SPD Aglaea with 160 SPD Sunday.

Important Notes

350 energy cost Ultimate makes Aglaea the most energy-dependent DPS in the game — sustaining Supreme Stance requires active energy support from teammates
Sunday is borderline mandatory — performance drops dramatically without action advances and percentage energy restoration
Best teammates are all premium limited 5-stars (Sunday, Robin, Huohuo, Cyrene) — accessibility is a genuine concern
Damage output outside Supreme Stance is minimal — the entire kit revolves around Ultimate uptime
Requires careful SPD tuning based on team composition: 134/135 or 160/161 breakpoints for Aglaea relative to Sunday
Garmentmaker can be killed by enemy attacks, ending Supreme Stance prematurely and resetting SPD stacks
