Is Motoha Arai good?

Motoha Arai (Closer) is a 4-star Electric Sweeper who plays more like an Assassin and support hybrid, with decent Skill 2 damage and Electric support such as Shock. Her AoE damage is too low for a Sweeper, she has some of the lowest HP in the game, and her Electric utility is seldom in demand, so she mostly appears in YUI teams, where her all-attack kit helps trigger YUI's follow-ups.

Pairs well with: YUI.

Strengths

  • Electric support and Shock
  • Every skill is an attack, helping YUI

Weaknesses
