Who's got the best art? (Dust Storm Mercs)
See everyone's full art here: Ike | Malice | Tethys | Marisa | Saber
Aside from Saber, who has a pretty striking design compared to the others who are mostly just their base forms but with lighter and/or "sexier" desert outfits, this batch is extremely inoffensive appearance-wise. I guessssss Ike's art is pretty nice and Malice looks slightly better than her base form (and has some cool sand tornadoes like Saber), but Tethys and Marisa are kind of just...Tethys and Marisa 2.0, if that makes sense. I don't dislike any of their art/designs, but I don't love them either. They're just, I dunno...average? Or very whelming. I dunno. I really couldn't care less about this batch.
Overall, I'll say: Saber > Ike >= Malice >= Marisa = Tethys. Ehhhhh...
