Signature moves

• Siren Cannon Drill: Aria lunges forward, spinning in a cork-screw manner with her flaming foots leading toward her opponent. In Equestria Girls: Siren Academy, this is called Low Spinning Kick, and her foots won't be on fire. However, the enhanced version is called Low Drill Kick, which has armor, hits more times and trips the opponent into the air, allowing for a juggle.

• Surging Blast: Aria sends a blast of fire from her palm at her opponent. In Equestria Girls: Siren Academy, this is called Flame Ball, which is now an orb of golden flame that can be fired at either a high or a low arc. The enhanced version of Surging Blast has Aria shoot a straight, larger and much faster Flame Ball at the opponent. However, the Surging Blast will destroy opposing projectiles in its path.

• Air Fire Blast: Aria jumps into the air and sends a blast of fire at a 45 degree angle towards her opponent. In Equestria Girls: Siren Academy, this has close and far versions and can only be performed in mid-air, no longer causing Aria to jump when performed. However, the enhanced version of Air Surging Blast makes her fire both the close and the far versions at once.

• Split Flip Kick: Aria somersault forward with a flaming kick directed at her opponent. In Equestria Girls: Siren Academy, this is called Flip Kick, and her foots won't be on fire. However, the enhanced version of Split Flip Kick has armor. Aria performs another somersault leap to stomp on the opponent's stomach while they're still on the ground.

• Find Me If You Can: Aria surrounds herself with a flaming haze and becomes invisible.
• Air Spinning Kick: Aria performs a Low Spinning Kick in mid-air, which is directed downward at her opponent.
• Air Split Drop: Aria drops down from the air and does a leg split on the ground as she lands down, tripping the opponent with her outstretched leg.

• Teleport: Aria dashes upward, leaving a lilac-colored trail, hitting the opponent. This can be directed diagonally forward or backward and also be performed in mid-air, which will make her dash forward or backward. However, the enhanced version Quick Teleport has armor and also allows Aria to follow it up with an Air Teleport.

• Dark Shroud: Aria covers her opponent with a dark red and seemingly magical substance. If the opponent is hit by any Fire Ball while covered by the Shroud, it will have its damage considerably increased and knock them back. Even if the projectile is blocked, its chip damage will still be much greater and higher, but it won't knock the opponent back. However, the enhanced version is called Siren's Dust, which protects Aria as she throws the Shroud.

• Tonfa Toss: Aria tosses one of her tonfas at her opponent, slicing them with it. However, the enhanced version Tonfa Throw makes the tonfa return to Aria after going all the way through the screen, slashing the opponent a second time on their back.

• Blade Dive: From the air, Aria dives forward with her tonfas ahead of her to slash and knock down the opponent.
• Air Naginata Stance: In mid-air, Aria uses her naginata as a pole, making it stand perfectly upright and landing on its non-bladed tip. Simply stabbing the naginata on the ground to initiate the stance will hit the opponent if they are below her. From up there, she can perform a multiple attacks, or exit the stance by jumping again.

• Naginata Slam: Aria pulls the naginata to slam it over her opponent's head as she lands back down.
• Naginata Slide: Aria pushes the naginata down to make its blade hit her opponent's legs and trip them.
• Swinging Kick: Aria swings around the naginata, which remains in the upright position to deliver a powerful kick with both of her legs, knocking the opponent away. This can be done from the ground as a separate special move. However, the enhanced version of the Swinging Kick, which performed on the ground is called Spinning Kick. Aria will stab the naginata in the upright position and use it to swing upwards, kicking and uppercutting the opponent while doing so. This will also leave her in the Air Naginata Stance.

• Throw: Aria uses an axe kick to hit the opponent's head, making them look down, and then kicks them in the face with the other foot to knock them away.

• X-Ray Move - Air Up and Over: After stunning the victim with a dive kick, Aria does a somersault leap to strike the back of their head with her leather boots, destroying the back of their skull. She grabs their head and leaps over them, pulling their neck back, snapping it in half. Turning back around, she leaps onto the victim's shoulders, holding their neck with her legs and delivers a powerful high throw that breaks the victim's neck completely.
