Is Motoha Arai (Tropical) good?

Tropical Motoha is a Bless Sweeper who trades HP for extra Bless damage and has her best skill ready on turn one, which suits clearing AoE fights quickly. After being healed five times she gains Tropical Heart, letting her Skill 3 skip its cooldown.

She deals fast, consistent damage (even as a single-target DPS), wants HP as well as Attack, and her teams are sturdy since she likes a healer, though at low Awareness that healer is close to required.

Pairs well with: Tomoko Noge (Seaside).

Strengths

  • Strongest skill from turn one
  • Quick, consistent damage
  • Works as single-target DPS too
  • Sturdy teams

Weaknesses

  • Wants a healer at low Awareness
