Is Saori good?
An Explosive single-target attacker whose 4-cost EX deals 1275% as a guaranteed crit, and her normal skill adds another guaranteed-crit hit plus crit damage. Her sub skill raises her ATK by up to 73.4% with four Arius students in the team, but 
Hiyori and 
Atsuko (Swimsuit) sit in special slots, so a full Arius team crowds out stronger buffers.
Pairs well with: Hiyori; Atsuko (Swimsuit).
Strengths
- Guaranteed-crit EX
- Big ATK boost in Arius teams
Weaknesses
- Full value needs four Arius students

Background
Joumae Saori is a second-year student at Arius Branch School and the leader of Arius Squad.
First introduced in third volume, she is one of the key players of Arius' involvement in the attack on Trinity.
As a result, she and the Squad would go on the run until the events of the sixth volume, when she would be placed on probation at the behest of Sensei, Gehenna, and Trinity, with Squad reforming itself into the de facto student council, with her as president.
Between then, she has taken up various gigs such as DJing and as a model.
