In the music rhythm game Arcaea, what stands out is the variety of characters to choose from, which helps players gain more points during rhythm tapping. Therefore, an overview of Arcaea characters is quite important for those participating in this game. You can also check out the abilities of these distinctive characters below. The game offers a rich set of skills based around music, creating a multi-layered music game for players.

Firstly, let's talk about the initial character, Light, affectionately called "Big Sister White" by players. She has long, pure white hair and wears a fresh and elegant white dress. In terms of game mechanics, Light is quite effective for new players, especially on EASY difficulty. When she appears, she can effectively reduce the loss of recall rate, even if the player makes a mistake, it can be compensated. Once you successfully achieve the Easy Clear with Light, the corresponding song will be honorably marked as Green C, providing some room for error for beginners entering the game.

In stark contrast to Light is Tairitsu, commonly known as "Big Sister Black." With her black flowing hair and dark attire, her overall appearance exudes a cool and noble aura. Although not given active skills, she plays a crucial role in unlocking the hidden song Grievous Lady. Moreover, her level directly affects the recall rate threshold when entering the hidden song, making her suitable for challenging high-difficulty content.

Hikari, a vibrant girl, is thus called "Big Sister Red" by players. Her iconic red ponytail and striking red outfit make a strong visual impact. Hikari originates from the Crimson Solace song pack. After awakening, she generously provides up to 20% fragment rewards based on the song's performance, making her an absolute must-have for players who are keen on collecting fragments and leveling up their characters.

Saya, with her blue long hair and adorable dress, has earned the endearing nicknames "Dy Girl" or "Little Blue" from players. Her attributes are suitable for early use, and she has potential for upgrades, with her stats steadily increasing in the later stages. Despite not having any special skills yet, her lovable appearance has already garnered her immense popularity among players, becoming a top choice for many as a cute representative character.

Forget has clear initial stat settings, with 47 Frag and 60, and when fully leveled up, these become 70 Frag and 90. Her unique skill, MIRROR, unlocks at level 8, reversing all notes and arcs to create a mirrored effect. However, caution is advised when using this in World Mode. To obtain Forget, one must purchase the Ambivalent Vision song pack. Due to her appearance, she is also jokingly referred to as "Big Sister Yellow," and even nicknamed the "Bust Size Champion" due to some exaggerated designs.

Tairitsu (Umbrella) also has a clear data growth trajectory, starting with 57 Frag and 70, reaching 79 Frag and 102 at max level. Her skill, HARD, is extremely challenging; if the recall rate hits zero, it will immediately result in a challenge failure, continuing until the health bar is depleted, triggering Track Lost and ending the play session. However, due to its high-risk, high-reward nature, successfully completing a song with this partner and achieving Track Complete will elevate the clear status of the song to the highest Red C. Additionally, she is one of the necessary characters to trigger the meeting event.

Iris starts with 50 Frag and 70, and at max level, her Frag remains at 50. Her skill, HARD +, has a penalty mechanism, losing 100 fragments upon Track Lost, and Hard Clear will change the clear status of the selected song to Red C. Unlike other fragment skills, this one applies in more modes. The game automatically replenishes the fragments to 100 before executing the skill effect. Players can obtain this character by purchasing individual songs.

Luna starts with 60 Frag and 42, and at max level, reaches 90 Frag and 63. Her skill, VISUAL, unlocks at level 8, hiding the recall collection rate bar. To obtain Luna, you need to purchase the song and then follow the main storyline, climbing the ladder within the song pack until you reach the top.

The initial stats for Tia are 56 Frag and 46, and at max level, they increase to 82 Frag and 68. Her skill, which also unlocks at level 8, provides 5 extra fragment rewards when playing songs from the Disputing Side. So, after reaching level 8, you can use this character more often to acquire resources. It's relatively easy to obtain her in the early stages, either through individual songs or by participating in limited-time events.

The above-mentioned characters are currently available in the game. The overview of Arcaea characters mainly introduces basic characters because there are also advanced effects for characters with different outfits, which appear later in the game.
