Arlet is a cameo character in Petal Crash. He originally appeared in another Friend & Fairy production, Grapple Force Rena. He does not have a Sacred Blossom, but his background contains the bellflower (as well as enemies from the game he came from).
Arlet appears small and weak, with a timid personality to match, though he secretly harbors great power - young and inexperienced, he hasn't reconciled his innate strength with his meek nature, and his self confidence is lacking for it.
He appears in Story Mode if the player is playing at medium difficulty or higher and has completed a 7-chain at any point in their first five fights. If this condition is achieved, he appears before the sixth fight (usually Rosalia, or Lilibri if the player is playing as Rosalia) accompanied by the text New Challenger Approaching. This is hinted if you complete Story Mode without using a continue. After defeating Arlet, he becomes available for use in other single player modes (Time Trial, Turn Trial, and Puzzle Mode) and Versus Mode, but he has no Story Mode of his own.
Losing to Arlet in Story Mode does not allow the player to explicitly use a continue to retry the fight. Additionally, it makes the player ineligible for the true final stage. Until version 1.1, this did not count as using a continue, which could make it easier to attain the 1-credit clear achievements for high difficulties.
Play style
Arlet's AI is in some ways the opposite of Lilibri. Where she is temporarily incapacitated upon accepting garbage, Arlet instead plays faster when under garbage pressure. This means that any strategies that involve whittling away at an opponent with many small garbage sends are likely to backfire against Arlet, and even when playing for large, intermittent garbage sends, Arlet may just build up battle bar advantage while you are building your next chain. This makes him one of the more dangerous opponents for a given challenge level.
