*For the alternate version of this character, see:* Aru
**Aru (Scramble)** (アル (スクランブル) Aru (Sukuranburu)) is one of the bonus characters in *100% Orange Juice!*, unlocked by owning the game Xmas Shooting - Scramble!! on Steam.

## Passives

* Can hold 4 cards (as opposed to the standard 3).

## Overview

Aru (Scramble) is the counterpart to Aru, sporting the same stats and the passive of being able to hold 4 cards. As such, she fills the same role of being a star-collector while avoiding combat. She possesses a +2 EVD stat together with Suguri and Suguri (Ver.2), allowing her to avert most damage. She also has the ability to hold 4 cards, which gives her more possibilities to not be KOed by enemy encounters. Finally, her Hyper is a considerable idle star gaining method which increases throughout the game, while also giving her some security against combat-heavy characters if luck plays on the player's side.

Her main disadvantage is her low combat stats other than Evade. Due to a low ATK stat, Aru (Scramble) will most of the time retaliate with low damage, and a low DEF stat makes her more vulnerable against high attack rolls. Having a high EVD stat will incite players to evade, but a failed roll will cause high damage or a KO. Rounding off, despite her hyper being a very good star gaining method, it relies on giving away cards that can potentially benefit her enemies.

## Summary

Pros
+ Tied for the second highest EVD stat with Suguri, Suguri (Ver.2), Suguri (46 Billion Years), Tsih and Aru
+ Hyper can be used to prevent player encounters
+ Hyper helps her accumulate stars through the game
+ Good HP to potentially survive in case defense is preferred
+ Passive allows her to hold 4 cards
Cons
- Low ATK and DEF makes her a target for other players
- Reliant on EVD success
- Hyper requires high level cards in the deck to be the most efficient
- Unreliable Hyper passive
- Hyper requires you to level up to start giving noticeable benefits

## Effect

Aru (Scramble)'s Hyper is **Santa's Job**. When this Gift card is held, the player can choose to send one card from their hand to another random unit using the gift button above the cards in their hand. The player will gain stars equal to the level of the sent card x5, and the unit who received the card will be unable to challenge other players when meeting them on the field for 1 chapter, indicated by the **Santa's Gift** stock effect. Only cards that the player has the level to use can be sent through this effect. In addition, Santa's Job itself (including additional copies of Santa's Job) cannot be sent through this effect. Upon use, this card will be discarded. In addition, this card will be discarded if the player is KO'd by any effect.

If multiple copies of Santa's Job are held, the effect will stack. The number of cards the player can distribute per turn will be equal to the number of stacks. When distributing multiple cards per turn, the unit receiving the card is selected separately for each card.

When holding this card, a  icon will hover around the player.

## Strategy

**Santa's Job** helps Aru (Scramble) be more passive in that she can deny a player's ability to attack every turn and reward herself with stars, provided she has cards to give. As the Hyper is a major advantage to Aru, the player should focus on acquiring the card, landing on  Draw panels to supply cards for its effect, and avoid being KO'd to keep the Hyper.

The player should take advantage of the effect by packing cards that are not particularly dangerous to Aru. One card that works well with Santa's Job is  Unlucky Charm. Since the card can be given away during her turn, Aru doesn't have to pay stars to be rid of it, while also giving it to someone who will have to pay. This same effect also occurs with Mimyuu's Hyper,  Evil Spy Work ― Execution, where giving it to another player will make them take damage. Higher level cards can also work with Santa's Job in getting stars, but also runs the risk of said cards being used against her. Cards that don't influence her like  Star-Blasting Light or  Princess's Privilege as well as healing cards like  Pudding and  Dinner are recommended for greater star gain at a lesser risk.

The main disadvantage to the Hyper is that the player must sacrifice cards in order to take advantage of its effects. The Hyper also incentivizes Aru (Scramble) to deck high-level cards that don't fit her playstyle in order to gain more stars, removing spots for cards that would help her defend herself. Finally, because of the random nature of who receives the cards, the target may not be someone who she desires, failing to protect her from attacks if a player is targeting her, or benefit the enemy by giving them stat boosts or star/card gains.
## Tips

Playing As **Aru (Scramble)**
* Battles should be avoided, and getting  Santa's Job must be top priority.
* Her Hyper can help her elude combat and escape from a battle against another player.
* If you have enough stars, you can drop your hyper by using it to start gathering defensive cards like  Shield,  Shield Counter or  Rbits to prevent being KO'd.
* High-level cards that don't affect combat like  Princess's Privilege,  Pudding or  Star-Blasting Light will give her a great amount stars if the player has a hyper on hand.
* Unlike her counterpart,  Scary Solicitation and the Charity event are helpful to have in the game, as they will give Aru (Scramble) cards to give away.

Playing Against **Aru (Scramble)**
* Just like normal Aru, she's not meant for combat, and as such attacking her will often lead to the adversary dealing great damage or a KO. However, Aru (Scramble) has a great Evade stat, which should be taken in account when fighting her with a low ATK stat.
* Cards that force her to drop or scramble her hand, such as  Scrambled Eve and  Flamethrower, will slow her down and make her fall behind.
