Adler
Adler is a support character who provides DEF-scaling shields and Incantation DoT damage. He is placed in B-tier because his damage output is lower than dedicated DPS units, but his shielding makes him a valuable defensive option.
Build Guide
Strengths
- Provides strong shields that scale with DEF, improving team survivability.
- Deals Incantation DoT damage, contributing to team damage over time.

Weaknesses
- Damage output is lacking compared to dedicated DPS units, placing him in B-tier.
- Mostly sought for his shielding; his DoT is secondary.

Best Teams
Adler serves as a shield support with DoT capabilities. As an Incantation unit, his best team is a Scorch team with Baicang as Main DPS and Daffodill as Sub-DPS. Replacing Sakiri with Haniel turns it into a Discord team.
Start with Adler's Skill to apply shields.
Swap to Sakiri (or Haniel) to apply buffs.
Swap to Daffodill for Sub-DPS damage.
Swap to Baicang for Main DPS damage.
Use Adler's Ultimate if the enemy is alone to apply extra DoT.
Adler can also function in Hexed teams with Nanally and Jiuyuan due to the team's high Anima and Incantation presence, allowing for frequent procs of Hexed.
Start with Adler's Skill to apply shields.
Swap to Sakiri to apply buffs.
Swap to Jiuyuan for Sub-DPS damage.
Swap to Nanally for Main DPS damage.
Use Adler's Ultimate if the enemy is alone to apply extra DoT.
Skill Priority
Pristine Reflection (Support Skill)
Provides bonus Incantation damage, but offers not much else.
Deliverance (Basic Attack)
Basic Attacks are leveled last or outright ignored since Adler will normally be using their Skill and Ultimate more often.
Tranquility (Ultimate)
Adler's Ultimate is leveled next for its burst damage, which is amplified when against lone enemies, such as bosses.
Evil's Bane (Skill)
Adler's DoT and shielding are based around this ability, so level this first to max out on both his continuous damage and protective shielding.
How to Play
Adler is a shield support who uses his Skill to protect the team and his Ultimate to apply Incantation DoT. He is best used as the first unit in the rotation, applying shields before swapping to buffers and DPS characters.
