Is Aru good?

An Explosive sniper whose 4-cost EX shoots one target and then explodes for more damage around it, strongest when enemies bunch up. Her passive and sub skill build crit damage and crit chance, and her gear T2 makes the normal skill's bonus explosion trigger every time.

She's useful from missions to raids including Kaitenger and Gregorius, though Hina (Dress) takes her spot in the hardest Explosive fights.

Strengths

  • Long-range single target plus AoE EX
  • Built-in crit buffs
  • Wide content coverage

Profile

Aru's full name is Rikuhachima Aru. Her birthday is March 12, and she stands 160cm tall.

Background

Rikuhachima Aru is a second-year student of Gehenna Academy and the self-appointed president of Problem Solver 68, a group of delinquents for hire that are constantly on the run from the Prefect Team.

First introduced in main story's first chapter to intimidate Abydos' Foreclosure Task Force, they instead would join forces with them to force the Prefect Team out of the district.
