Aquarius (アクエリアス) is the second Aquarius-type Medarot that first appeared in Medarot Navi. Its name and appearance are based upon Aquarius the Water Bearer, eleventh sign of the Western Zodiac.
Description
The role of Aquarius in battle is overwhelming offense. Its Right Arm features the X-Attack Set action and its Left the X-Attack Fire action; between these, it can Fire every other turn with no outside assistance - a scary prospect that becomes scarier with such great range. Its Head part has the passive Charge ability to boost its Initiative. Its Leg parts are Float, giving it decent mobility over much terrain without vulnerability to Anti-Sea attacks.
In the games
Aquarius is first seen at the start of the third act as Kasumi's party infiltrates the Space Robo asteroid base. With the player facing three Aquarii and two Libras commanded by generic Space Robo goons, this sudden increase in difficulty sets the tempo for the remainder of the chapter (in which the remaining Zodiac-themed Medarots are met during the final Robottles with the five Space Robo Generals).

Trivia
- Aquarius and Libra's Right and Left Arm attacks are identical to Granbeetle and Sonic Stag's Drive B and C attacks, respectively. The player starters' Drives are often used as "crutch" abilities to power through enemy resistance; being on the receiving end of such abilities clues the player that major shifts in strategy will be required (such as Trap Clear actions to remove X-Attack Sets from the Aquarii).
