Profile
The oldest known fish in existence, it has become an Arcana through stubborn persistence. It has the ability to manipulate water and offers its strength on a whim to Kira, who works for world domination, out of sheer boredom.
Attributes
Passive
- Pugnaculum: The water arcana will completely nullify chip damage to your character. You cannot die from chip damage in this game, but some moves do ridiculous amounts of chip such that you'd wish you had this passive trait on other Arcanas. This attribute is particularly useful versus the Fire, Magnet, and Metal Arcanas.
- Cadus: Your E moves will douse the opponent in water, causing extended periods of block or hit stun. Your max charged E moves will not cause a guard crush, but will force them into a very long period of blockstun.
Extend Force
- Nimbus: All normals will provide the same effects as Cadus; extended periods of block and hit stun. You can put together all kinds of silly combos during this period of time.

Air ok. Sends out a water orb, you can set a max of 3 and they last for 600 frames. If the opponent hits an orb it will disappear, but it will have absorbed the attack in your place. This move can be a constant annoyance to your opponent during offense. There are several moves that will just ignore these though, such as Fiona's Excalibur (236A+B). Any move that can reflect projectiles will destroy these bubbles and still hit the opponent.

Air ok. Causes a set water orb to follow you around. The orb will follow you for 270 frames before disappearing. It lasts half as long as a stationary orb, but now you can be aggressive with an orb backing you up. If you have a Pluvia that is about to disappear and you grab it with this move, it will still last for the full 270 frames.

Air ok. This will pop a stationary orb, turning it into a waterfall. This will keep your opponent pinned down for a long time. It causes the same slow down affect as as Cadus so you can pick it up for a combo from just about anywhere on the screen if you manage to hit with this. If it hits in the air though, it will ground slam the opponent, making it hard to combo off of. However, that in itself works well as an air combo ender if an orb is around. You can also go for setups with characters that have j.Es that ground slam, set an orb, then use Cataracta for mixups.

This is a command grab. It has zero frames of start-up after the superflash (3+0 to be specific), so if they are not already out of the way, they're getting hit. It does pretty good damage and wall slams after the attack. You could compare this move to Kira's B Driver (360B) in terms of damage, but the start-up is excellent; you should use this whenever the opponent isn't paying attention. You can't burst it or grab break it and the damage is great, so use this if you are unsatisfied with your everyday neutral throw.

Air ok. This will set 3 water orbs at the same time. The start-up for this is twice as fast as the normal version, so there is nothing wrong with using this instead. Be careful though, this move will not allow you break the 3 orb max rule. If there is already 1 orb, then only 2 will come out when you use this move. If 3 are already out, you would have just wasted a bar for nothing. Make sure you are aware of any pre-existing Pluvia before using this.

Create a large bubble that chases and traps your opponent. They are released when attacked.

Niptra appears from the foreground and swallows the opponent. This will not damage the opponent but causes them to temporarily slow down. The opponent can only preform actions at 1/4 of their normal speed. This will end after a certain period of time or when you are hit.
