**Arthur** (アーサー Āsā) is one of the playable Characters in *100% Orange Juice!*. He was added to the game in DLC 19 alongside Nico.

## Passives

* Gain X additional stars from  Bonus panels and Shops, where X is the number of  Rbit Hobby Shop cards owned by you that are currently on the field, up to your current level.

## Overview

Arthur is a character with a relatively bulky statspread who also possesses good star gain. This allows him to be both hard to shut down, while also being able to outpace most characters in stars outside of combat. He is also able to influence how everyone else moves around the board with multiple  Rbit Hobby Shops on the field, lest they give him even more stars. However, he is not without his flaws. Despite being bulky, Arthur's neutral ATK is less threatening, so he is prone to being fought. He is also relying on -1 DEF and -1 EVD, which means that while he can survive a single hit well, he falters when it comes to repeated fights without cards like  Pudding,  Reverse Attribute Field,  Serious Battle, and  Dinner. On top of that, after he is KO'd, he is forced to wait out his 6 REC before he is able to get back up. He is also vulnerable to having his shops being used for extra card draw in order to get extremely powerful cards, like Marie Poppo using them to gain  Ubiquitous. Make no mistake, however -- Arthur is still an effective character for players that would rather be passive.

## Summary

Pros

* Good, but not amazing star gain.
* **Rbit Hobby Shop** chips away at opponent's stars.
* Second highest HP stat in the game, tying with Marie Poppo & Marie Poppo (Mixed).

Cons

* Negative DEF and EVD leaves him vulnerable to repeated attacks.
* **Branch Expansion Strategy** overwrites the cards in the hand, limiting other potential strategies.
* **Rbit Hobby Shop** gives opponents additional card draws.
* High REC stat.

## Update History

 **V3.9**
* Shops now increase  Bonus panel and Shop star gain, not star gain from all sources.

 **V3.0**

 **V2.8.2 (Hotfix 3)**
* Fixed players being unable to use  Evil Mastermind while carrying no trap cards and standing on a panel with a  Rbit Hobby Shop trap set on it.
* Fixed a bug that was making  Do Pirates Fly in the Sky? and  Plushie Master unable to replace any set  Rbit Hobby Shop traps.

 **V1.31.3**
* Rbit Hobby Shop can now be replaced by another trap card placed over it. New description: "Pay X stars to the player who set this card, where X is the Lvl of the player who set this card. Draw a card from the deck. This card remains on board when triggered but can be replaced by a new trap. No effect on the player who set this trap."

 **V1.30 (Hotfix 3)**
* Fixed Arthur's Pink color turning him invisible when KO'd.

 **V1.30**

## Effect

Arthur has two Hypers, one of which will generate copies of the other.

* Branch Expansion Strategy
* Rbit Hobby Shop

Arthur's main Hyper is **Branch Expansion Strategy**. When used, the player will discard all cards in their hand, and replace them with copies of the Trap card **Rbit Hobby Shop** equal to the number of cards that were discarded. The player is then allowed to play 1 additional card on the same turn.
For the purposes of this card, the number of cards the player has in their hand is determined before Branch Expansion Strategy is removed from the hand, meaning the Hyper itself is counted.
Despite the card's wording, this Hyper does not transform cards, instead discarding them before generating copies of Rbit Hobby Shop equal to the amount of discarded cards. Due to this, when any of the generated Rbit Hobby Shop cards are discarded or destroyed, they are removed from the game rather than being sent to the discard pile.

Arthur's secondary Hyper is **Rbit Hobby Shop**. Upon use, this Trap card is set on the player's current panel.
This card has varying effects depending on which player triggers it.

* When this card is triggered by an opponent, the player who set the trap will steal stars from the affected unit equal to 1x the norma level of the player. In addition, the affected unit will draw a card from the center deck.
* When this card is triggered by the player who set it, it will have no effect.

Unlike most other Trap cards, this card will not be discarded after being triggered, instead remaining in play. In addition, this card does not prevent other Trap cards from being placed on the same panel. If this occurs, the Rbit Hobby Shop will be destroyed in the process.
When this card is discarded due to having another Trap placed over it or from any effects that destroy traps, it is removed from the game rather than being sent to the discard pile.
This card uses unique  shop sprites corresponding to the player's Player number, instead of the standard trap card sprites.
## Strategy

Arthur's Hyper is his main, if not only, form of strategic play. Branch Expansion Strategy turns his entire hand into Rbit Hobby Shop, which can then be placed around the board. However, unlike a normal trap, this one does not disappear after being triggered, instead remaining on the board unless it is replaced or destroyed.

Much like when playing Peat, it is advised that the player wait to use the Hyper until they have a full hand, to maximize the amount of Shops. However, when he has a full hand, he should use it instantly so that he can start using his passive as soon as possible. When playing as Arthur, the amount of stars gained are directly correlated to the number of Shops on the field up to his current level, so Arthur should focus on setting as many Shops as possible no matter what. One should generally place a Shop regardless of one's current panel, except for  Home panels. Arthur is also not incentivized to use multiple hypers since having 3 shops is almost always enough to snowball to a massive advantage and it can replace cards that Arthur wants. However its still generally worth to use at least a second hyper if Arthur's hand is full of cards that he doesn't want.

Effectively, the trap forces players who trigger it to pay Arthur to draw a card. While the amount of stars stolen per trigger may seem rather minuscule at first, it only increases as the game goes on and Arthur gains more Levels and places more and more Shops, as the function of the Hobby Shops work in direct conjuncture with Arthur's passive. In late game, it can be dangerously effective at preventing other players from achieving Normas.

One thing to note though is that although Arthur does steal stars from people whenever they land on one of his Shops, he generally wants to avoid people landing on them. The reason for this is because his passive already gives him a massive advantage in star gain. Also his shops can be overwritten by traps, so whenever someone lands on a Shop, they can either place a trap, or gain a trap that they can place on it. This will cause Arthur to lose stars in the long run, so its best advised to try and get Shops in locations that are hard to step on, although his nature of placing shops as fast as possible makes this hard to do. One thing, however, is that he really should avoid placing Shops on  Home panels. This is because people are far more likely to land on them, and thus be able to overwrite them with a trap.Playstyle

Arthur is a passive character who wants to set up his first three shops as fast as possible, as long as they are on a panel he wants, and use any other hypers when he doesn't have a good hand. He wants to aim for panels that players are forced to go over, particularly Home panels. After he has his shops set up, he wants to aim for star panels to build up a star lead.

## Tips

Playing As **Arthur**
* Healing cards like  Dinner and  Pudding are extremely good on Arthur since he has good bulk, but is prone to taking a lot of damage from hits
* Serious Battle and  Reverse Attribute Field work really well with Arthur's stats since he has high HP, and no positive stat.
* Quick Restoration also synergizes with Arthur's stats well since he is unable to be KO'd by 1 ATK or lower if he is at full HP. This makes him very likely to get off a big heal from it to further make himself hard to KO.
* We Are Waruda is a great card to bring since it allows Arthur to move his shops after someone has landed on it in order to prevent it from being destroyed by a trap
* Completion Reward synergizes with Arthur's shops, because each shop can count as a trap for the purpose of the card.
* Card draw cards like  Nice Present and  Princess's Privilege are good ways to either get Arthur's hyper, or to get cards that allow him to survive longer.

Playing Against **Arthur**
* Arthur's  Rbit Hobby Shops can be replaced with any Trap card of the player's own.
* Level 1 traps like  Bad Pudding and  Sealed Memories are the best way of preventing Arthur from snowballing the game before he profits too much from getting his hyper early.  Bad Pudding is the best level 1 trap to bring, since if he lands on it, he will lose a card that could be useful to him.
* Scrambled Eve and  Gift Exchange can remove cards that Arthur needs, including his hyper if he wasn't able to draw it before someone else got to norma 3.
* Play of the Gods is a decent way of being able to use  Scrambled Eve or  Gift Exchange before norma 3 in order to stop Arthur's snowball.
* Playing a character with high ATK like Tomomo or Yuki can make it easy to KO Arthur if he doesn't have any of his defensive cards.
* Cards that boost ATK like  I'm on Fire! and  Big Magnum are good ways of securing the KO on Arthur.
* While this card is almost always suboptimal to bring,  Exchange will most likely harm Arthur significantly since he often has a massive star lead.
* While  Brutal Prank,  Flamethrower, and  Present Thief seem like they would do well against Arthur, the threat of him getting his hyper early means that the level 1 traps should always be taken over these.
* Another card that seemingly counters Arthur,  Star-Blasting Light is a terrible card to bring because by the time it can be played against him, he has most likely profited greatly off of his hyper, and the 50 star cost will most likely cause the user to lose the game. It must be decked with both  President's Privilege and  Play of the Gods which takes up a further 4 deck spots, and those combos will still most likely fail since there will most likely be only one copy of Star-Blasting Light in the deck, which makes even getting it very unlikely.

## Co-op

In Co-op mode, Arthur's stats and passive do not change.

Arthur's main Hyper, **Branch Expansion Strategy**, does not visibly change in Co-op.

Arthur's secondary Hyper, **Rbit Hobby Shop**, has a slightly different effect in Co-op. The Hyper has no effect on enemies, and no stars are gained or lost when triggering this Hyper. (In all other aspects, this Hyper functions similarly to its Normal mode counterpart.)

## Bounty Hunt

Arthur's passive and Hyper are unchanged in Bounty Hunt mode.

Arthur's base stats give him **44** starting stars and a discount of **-10%** at shops.
