Argus

Short answer: Argus is a 6-Star, Plant-Afflatus Arcanist who deals Reality damage and works as a DPS, Debuff, Support unit. Like every Arcanist, Argus hits harder when you respect the Afflatus wheel, so field Argus where the Plant advantage actually lands.

Afflatus and Matchups

Argus uses the Plant Afflatus. That means Argus has the advantage against Mineral units and is at a disadvantage into Beast units. The two element triangles never cross, so plan a small bench around them rather than forcing one team into every stage. The full breakdown lives on the Afflatus system page.

Role and Damage

Argus deals Reality damage and is built for DPS, Debuff, Support duties. Reality and Mental are the game's two damage types, and matching your carry's damage type to an enemy's weaker defense is a quiet but real power gain. Pair Argus with teammates that cover the roles Argus does not.

Building Argus

Invest in one carry at a time and gear Argus with the best-fitting Psychube you have before spreading materials thin. As a 6-Star Arcanist, Argus is summoned from the gacha, so read the pity system before you spend: a 6-star is guaranteed by 70 pulls and the featured Arcanist is guaranteed within two 6-stars.
