30-second summary of Arcana

Arcana is a Electric Nikke in the Supporter class, manufactured by Elysion. Stats and skill text below come straight from the game's data.

“She is an extrovert through and through, with a friendly personality that makes her able to get along with just about anyone. She also runs a small tarot shop as a side business. Her proclivity for eccentricity is channeled into her unique interpretations of tarot cards, which she then uses to tease others (mostly the Commander). Her readings tend to be surprisingly accurate, so her shop was quite successful.”

Should you pull?

Should you pull?

SKIP (unless you already own a strong Electric Burst III roster) — An international community tier list ranks the standard Arcana at C in Story, and a mode-by-mode community tier list rates her "-" for both Anomaly and Tribe Tower, showing a narrow usage window that's heavily comp-dependent. Only pull her if you already own several Electric Burst III Attackers (Alice, Scarlet: Black Shadow) and want to optimize the Wheel of Fortune combo for raids; general players should prioritize more universal Supporters first.

Review & Analysis

Arcana (Squad Best Seller) is a specialist Supporter for Electric Code Burst III allies, with balanced stats (HP 647453 · ATK 21307 · DEF 4485). Her "Wheel of Fortune" mechanic: while active, Skill 1 The Magician cuts Skill 2 cooldown by 75% and boosts damage +180% for 15s on Electric Code Burst III allies who already used their Burst; Skill 2 Strength further adds ATK equal to 180% of Arcana's ATK to those same allies. Burst, Shackles of Destiny, gives +10% damage to the whole Electric Code team, deals 300% ATK AoE damage, and raises enemy damage taken by 10%. Both skills also carry small passive buffs for the whole team even outside Wheel of Fortune status. Needs an Electric Code Burst III lineup to shine.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Skill 2 Strength (180% ATK buff for Electric Code Burst III allies, most direct impact) → Skill 1 The Magician (cooldown cut + 180% damage) → Burst (triggers Wheel of Fortune + bonus damage).

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1 / Skill 2 / Burst — general priority): 1/1/1 (functional) → 4/4/47/4/710/7/10 (endgame). Why: Skill 2 (the Strength/Death branch of Wheel of Fortune) and Burst determine how strong her Electric Burst III combo gets, so prioritize them together; Skill 1 matters but can stay mid-level if you need to save books elsewhere.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Her Wheel of Fortune mechanic can grant Electric Burst-3 allies a +180% damage buff and a 75% Skill 2 cooldown reduction — a massive bonus if the comp lines up.
  • Her Burst deals 300% ATK AoE damage while also debuffing all enemies' damage taken, useful in both PvE and PvP.
  • Even without enough Electric Burst III teammates, she still grants a light squad-wide ATK buff after every Full Burst — never completely dead weight in a generic squad.
  • Her Tarot theme with multiple branching effects (Magician/Strength/Death) adds situational depth to her kit.

Weaknesses

  • Her peak value only unlocks with a full Electric Burst III comp — she's clearly comp-dependent.
  • An international community tier list ranks the standard Arcana at C in Story — not a top campaign pick.
  • Community tier lists rate her "-" (unusable) for both Anomaly and Tribe Tower, limiting her scope.
  • The Wheel of Fortune mechanic is fairly complex, requiring good understanding of burst combos to unlock her full potential.

Recommended Teams

Campaign

  • Electric Burst III Team: Arcana · Volume · Modernia · Naga · 1 flex Electric Attacker (Alice or Scarlet: Black Shadow). Her Wheel of Fortune mechanic only fully triggers for Electric-code Burst 3 allies who just cast their Burst, so she needs at least 1-2 Electric Burst III teammates to unlock the huge CDR/ATK bonuses.
  • General Squad: Arcana · Privaty · Naga · 2 Attackers (Guillotine, Red Hood). Without enough Electric Burst III teammates she still grants a small squad-wide ATK buff after every Full Burst, good enough for regular stages.

Arena / PvP

  • Fast-Buff Team: Arcana · Blanc · Centi · Guillotine · 1 flex Supporter. Her Burst deals AoE damage plus a damage-taken debuff on enemies, useful for opening PvP fights.

Raid & Interception

  • Dedicated Electric Team: Arcana · Novel · Helm · Naga · 1 flex Electric Burst III Attacker. You need a full Electric Burst III comp to unlock the Wheel of Fortune's 75% Skill 2 cooldown reduction and 180% damage buff for allies — massive raid power if the comp lines up.
