Arona's Personality
Unlike your typical AI, Arona's personality is brimming with warmth and humor. Her interactions with the Sensei blend AI precision with surprisingly human-like emotions. She's cheerful, caring, and genuinely invested in helping you conquer Kivotos' challenges. She also shines in the "Arona Channel," a bi-weekly animated short series (April 7, 2021 – July 23, 2023), followed by the "AroPla Channel," ensuring her continued presence in official media.
Arona's Relationships
Arona's most significant bond is with the Sensei—her very purpose is to assist you on your mission. Beyond simple assistance, she engages with players through fun messages and interactions. Intriguingly, she shares a mysterious connection with Plana, a counterpart from an alternate timeline, hinting at deeper, untold layers to her character.
Maximizing Arona's Utility
Though not a combat unit, you can still optimize your experience with Arona:
- Heed her briefings: Arona provides crucial battle information, offering invaluable strategic guidance.
- Follow event notifications: Stay updated on limited-time events and rewards.
- Engage with the story: Arona is integral to the lore; following her dialogue unlocks deeper insights into Kivotos' mysteries.
Arona is more than just a guide; she's a core component of Blue Archive's world and story.
