Meet the New Agents: Chinatsu and Aria

The burgeoning idol unit “Wanso Angel” introduces two dynamic new agents capable of unleashing cooperative attacks: Chinatsu and Aria.

Chinatsu is an S-rank Physical support agent, offering unique assistance to “Aggressive” and “Anomaly” attribute members. Her companion, “Bubble-chan,” marks enemies with its “Cat Glare” skill, detonating them for damage and providing a powerful attack buff to the entire team. During her ultimate skill, Chinatsu swings her hammer, dealing damage and triggering a quick assist, calling allies to the field.

Joining Chinatsu is Aria, the main vocalist of “Wanso Angel.” As an Aether anomaly agent, she commands two forms: a “Structure” mechanical form and an “Idol Hologram.” Aria excels in direct combat, unleashing explosive damage on abnormal enemies with her charged attacks.

Supporting them from behind the scenes is Bompu “Kosan,” the dedicated fan club president. Kosan continuously restores agents’ HP and can boost the entire team’s attack power if two or more “Wanso Angel” members are present.
