Eibon Record
Adler
Adler supports the team by providing both shields that scale with DEF, and DoT damage that scales on standard damage means. Overall, though, he is placed in B-tier as the damage he offers is lacking compared to other DPS units, and is thus sought out mostly for his shielding.
Build Guide
Strengths
- Provides strong shields that scale with DEF
- Applies Incantation DoT to enemies
- Flexible support for Scorch or Hexed teams
Weaknesses

Skill Priority
Pristine Reflection (Support Skill)
Provides bonus Incantation damage but offers little else.
Deliverance (Basic Attack)
Basic Attacks are leveled last or ignored since Adler will normally use Skill and Ultimate more often.
Tranquility (Ultimate)
Leveled next for burst damage, amplified against lone enemies like bosses.
Evil's Bane (Skill)
Adler's DoT and shielding are based around this ability, so level this first to max out on both continuous damage and protective shielding.
How to Play
Adler is usually run as the very first unit in a fight, casting his Skill to summon his Shield to defend the team. Then use Ultimate to apply Incantation DoT to opponents, and swap to Sub-DPS or Main DPS to trigger Esper Cycles.
Rotations
- 1 Adler Skill → Swap to Buffer → Swap to Sub-DPS → Swap to DPS → (if enemy alone) Adler Ultimate
Tips
- Ultimate applies a second strike of DoT to lone opponents, making it effective against bosses.
- Team up with Chaos characters for Scorch or Anima characters for Hexed; Scorch is generally better for Adler.
- Use Adler's Skill first then swap off; he doesn't need to stay on field.
