Is Hermes good?
Hermes carries two torpedo-bomber slots, an unusual setup shared with the SR carrier 
Ark Royal, and her Assault Carrier skill can double her aviation damage for ten seconds. That skill only reaches a 25% trigger rate even fully leveled though, so it won't fire often.
She's cheap to run on fuel as a Normal-rarity light carrier, which is really her main selling point.
Strengths
- Rare double torpedo-bomber loadout
- Cheap to run on fuel for a light carrier
Weaknesses
- Her damage-doubling skill only triggers about a quarter of the time even maxed
Profile
Hermes is voiced by Yuna Inamura in Japanese.
Background
Hermes' flight deck and cards are a direct reference to Yu-Gi-Oh!
. Her flight deck resembles a duel disk, and the five cards she has in-hand, one drawn in her right hand, is the number of cards two players in a duel each start with at the beginning of their match.
- The gesture in her CG is a common gesture seen from characters in the Yu-Gi-Oh!
anime when they draw a card, which is meant to be dramatic.
Both her Default and Retrofit skins share this.
The feathered winged adornment in her hair is a symbolic reference to Hermes, the Greek god of speed, cunning, and travel.
Specifically, it is a component of the caduceus, a staff carried by him.
