[[Defenders]] - [[Midweight]]

### Skills
Ariel's unique skill is **"Relic Hunter"**.
Normal : Spawn 4 relics that you can pickup, increasing you speed for every relic picked up. You can hold a maximum of 4 relics at a time. Each Relic gives you a passive speed bonus, which are listed below. This passive bonus is a percentage of your base Top Speed.
Relic Amount = Percentage Increase (Additive)
1 Relic = +1.5% (1.5% total)
2 Relics = +1.5% (3.0% total)
3 Relics = +1.5% (4.5% total)
4 Relics = +4.5% (9.0% total)
Charged : For every relic you are currently holding, dash forwards a certain amount of times, then the relics you are holding disappear.
Held Relic Amount > Dash Amount
0 = 1
1 = 2
2 = 3
3 = 4
4 = 6
Ariel naturally raises the common skills [[Cloak]] and [[Hack]]. Prioritize raising [[Boost]] and [[Shot]] with Crew Skill Bonuses.

### Recommended Crew
Below is my recommendation for crew in highest to lowest priority. Depending on your star level, you may decide to change up some crew to fit your current needs. Alternate Crew is provided for some of the Non-Epic crew, if they have a reasonable replacement based off Skill Bonuses, or Stats.
