Is Arcana (Hermes) good?

Arcana's whole gimmick is stripping every buff off the enemy team at once with Scouring Whip, turning each stolen buff into extra energy for herself with a side chance of making her target miss more. Imprisonment never misses and can stun a target outright, and if that target is already suffering Miss Rate Up, it stretches the debuff out longer.

The buff-theft-into-energy idea is strong on paper, but it lands her at D since it needs the enemy to actually be buffed to pay off.

Strengths

  • strips all enemy buffs at once for a big energy swing
  • guaranteed hit and stun from Imprisonment
  • extends Miss Rate Up duration on already-afflicted targets

Weaknesses

  • value depends heavily on enemies carrying buffs to steal

Profile

Arcana (Hermes) carries the title "Phantom Thief". His birthday is June 6, 2002, and he stands 178cm tall.

Background

The Curtain Rises!: "Ladis and Gentlemen, welcome to Arcana's Magic Show."

"Whatever you do, don't turn your eyes away, you're about to see a performance like no other!"

Career 1: Arcana enjoys not only interesting people and things but also teasing overly serious people.

As something of a performer himself, when Arcana happens upon a street performer, he often gets so engrossed in the act that he forgets what he should be doing.

He's the type of easygoing person that can mingle with anyone around him.

His carefree smile always puts people at ease.

He is an expert at reading different situations and knowing exactly what to say and do to get the most out of any interaction.

Arcana's urbane but infectious mannerism make him rather popular with young women.

He's so skilled at what he does that he can make complete strangers laugh even when they're in the throes of anger.

By the way, teasing people who take themselves too seriously is perhaps his favorite pastime.

Career 2: Artist Arcana always got out unharmed every time he found himself in a tight corner.

Leaving aside the fact that Arcana was once the Phantom Thief, he is gifted artist in his own right.

He was particularly fond of oil paintings, but he never displayed any of his own work, instead choosing to showcase replicas of works by famous artists.

While things have not always gone so smoothly for Arcana, he's defied the odds with his luck, skill, and agility.

His quick wit has frequently led him into trouble, but it has also gotten him out of numerous dangerous situations.

Somehow, even his mistakes always turn out in his favor, and he is always able to make a daring escape right from under his enemy's nose.

Career 3: Arcana, who is dedicated to bringing joy to people, also has a hidden past.

Arcana has an innate sense of humor, and he loves seeing others laugh as much as he does.

His approach to life has always been laissez-faire, except when he is required to attend formal events.

He will wear a suit and socialize with others because he has to, not because he wants to.

Even though he doesn't show it, he feels uneasy and anxious in overly serious situations.

Most people don't know that Arcana was the Phantom Thief before he joined the Esper Union.

It all started when his father, a renowned artist, abandoned him and his mother.

His resentment drove him to steal and plagiarize his father's work.

He derived great pleasure from selling fakes to pompous art collections in order to ruin his father's name.

He doesn't talk about it, but Arcana definitely inherited his father's artistic abilities.

Career 4: After meeting Pritzker, he realized that art is about life and joy, not vengeance.

Encountering Pritzker was life-changing and forced Arcana to reflect.

He realized that life was not about revenge and that art should never be used as a weapon.

He began to wonder what type of person he wanted to become.

His answer ultimately led him to join the Esper Union.

He wanted to use his powers for good rather that staying trapped in the past.

He rose through the ranks and is now an Ops Chief with his own team.

The power of Hermes have not only helped him complete his missions but also allowed him to become an Esper superhero that his colleagues can count on.

If you're lucky enough to become friends with Arcana, he might surprise you with an oil painting of your very own.
