Is Argus good?
Argus is a 6-star Plant Arcanist with the strongest single-target debuff available: her Pinpointed stacks cut one enemy's damage reduction and Crit DEF by a combined 45% at P0, built from her own skills and from any ally hitting that enemy.
Her Grave Digger follow-up scales with the total rank of cards cast each round, which suits follow-up teams and 
Mercuria. Her own damage is very low and she only works in single-target fights.
Pairs well with: Mercuria.
