Ardelia
Sendgame support
support sustain debuff healer
Ardelia is a versatile Nature-element sustain character providing healing and powerful debuffs. She applies Corrosion to reduce enemy resistance, then triggers Physical and Arts Susceptibility to amplify team damage. Her healing scales with Will and is activated by collecting Shadows of Mr. Dolly, spawned by her Battle Skill and Ultimate. This dual role makes her valuable, though healing requires active pickup mechanics and Corrosion management.
This endgame support build maximizes Ardelia's debuffing and team‑buffing capabilities. The combination of Dreams of the Starry Beach and Eternal Xiranite set allows her to apply Corrosion and Susceptibility while simultaneously granting allies a damage boost and benefiting from increased healing. High Will and Intellect from gear pieces further reinforce her sustain, and ultimate gain efficiency keeps her ultimate ready for emergency heals and additional Shadow of Mr. Dolly spawns. This build is ideal for players who want Ardelia to function as a primary sustain with strong offensive utility.
Insights
Core Mechanics
- Combo Skill Eruption Column applies Corrosion to enemies, reducing their elemental resistance. The Battle Skill Dolly Rush consumes Corrosion to apply Physical and Arts Susceptibility, increasing damage taken by enemies.
- Talent Friendly Presence spawns Shadows of Mr. Dolly when Dolly Rush hits or during Ultimate, which heal the controlled operator (and lowest-HP teammate) when touched. Healing scales with Will.
- Talent Mountainpeak Surfer allows Dolly Rush to be cast again for free if an enemy with Corrosion is nearby, effectively doubling its debuff and healing output.
- Ultimate Wooly Party summons multiple sheep that deal area Nature damage and have a chance to create Shadows of Mr. Dolly for additional healing.
Scaling
- Healing scales with Will, making will_boost and treatment_efficiency stats high priority. Intellect provides minor damage scaling but is not a primary focus.
- Debuffs like Corrosion and Susceptibility have fixed percentages and durations; they do not scale with stats, so Ardelia's effectiveness as a debuffer is gear‑independent.
- Team damage amplification from weapons and gear (e.g., Dreams of the Starry Beach, Eternal Xiranite set) scales with gear quality, making late‑game investment significant.
- Early game she is already a capable healer with Freedom to Proselytize and Mordvolt Resistant set; her utility grows with better weapons and gear.
Team Role
Ardelia operates as a dedicated sustain unit with a strong debuffing niche. She fits into most team compositions that need healing and want to bypass enemy resistances. Her Corrosion reduces all elemental resistances, setting up follow‑up damage from any element. She synergizes well with characters who trigger her Combo Skill via Final Strikes, and with teams that lack other sources of Physical/Arts Susceptibility. The Eternal Xiranite gear set turns her debuff application into a team‑wide DMG buff, cementing her as a high‑value support in endgame content. In short, she is a plug‑and‑play healer/debuffer that enhances overall team damage while keeping allies alive.

Explanation
Dreams of the Starry Beach enhances debuffing by increasing Arts DMG taken after consuming Corrosion, and its Treatment Efficiency Boost improves healing.
Stanza of Memorials offers a team‑wide ATK boost on ultimate cast and a Max HP increase, making it a solid alternative if you prioritize team buffs over personal healing.
Monaihe accelerates ultimate recharge, enabling more frequent healing and corrosion application. Fluorescent Roc is a serviceable early‑game option that boosts Will and ATK.
Eternal Xiranite perfectly complements her playstyle: after applying Physical/Arts Susceptibility, the entire team gains a 16% DMG buff for 15s, turning her debuff into a team‑wide amplifier.
Notes
- Focuses on amplifying team damage through debuffs and the Eternal Xiranite set's team‑wide DMG+16% when Susceptibility is applied.
- Will remains important for healing, but the primary goal is to cycle Dolly Rush and Eruption Column for constant debuffs.
- Ultimate Gain from gear pieces helps charge Wooly Party for more frequent healing and Shadow of Mr. Dolly generation.
