Edgar

CosmosCall of the Twisted CityEibon Antique Shop

Edgar is a Cosmos healer who can top up the party's HP with Wild Current and Finnegan's Wake. His healing is stationary, using a channeled Skill and a fixed-area Ultimate, but he finds a strong niche in Charge teams by applying Remora and using Gentle Edge to charge allies' Ultimates.

Build Guide

Strengths

  • Reliable healer for low-HP allies with his Skill and Ultimate.
  • Strong Charge support: applies Remora and Gentle Edge can fully charge an ally's Ultimate.
  • Can become a buffer with Speedy Hedgehog or his second Awakening's DEF boost.
  • Fits both Charge and Blossom team compositions.

Weaknesses

  • Healing is stationary; his Skill channels in place and his Ultimate is a fixed area.
  • Struggles to heal against mobile bosses and enemies that move out of his ranges.
  • His Skill channel leaves him vulnerable and requires careful dodge timing.
  • Charge Ultimate Energy recovery is locked out for 30 seconds after Gentle Edge triggers.

Best Teams

Edgar Charge Support

Charge-focused team that uses Edgar as the Support and healer. Charge triggers Edgar's Gentle Edge, granting 120 Ultimate Energy to fully charge an ally's Ultimate, while Remora from Hathor or Skia lowers enemy mobility and attack speed.

Edgar is the Support and healer; his Charge-triggered Gentle Edge can fully charge an ally's Ultimate every 30 seconds.

Use Hathor or Skia to apply Remora, lowering enemy movement and attack speed.

Nanally or Mint serves as Main DPS and the final trigger for the Charge Eclipse Cycle.

Jiuyuan strengthens Blossom reactions, while Zero can speed up Eclipse Cycles.

Edgar Blossom Support

Blossom-centric team with Edgar as the Support, healing low-health allies while Nanally or Mint deals main damage and Zero triggers Blossom. Jiuyuan strengthens the Blossom reaction as an additional Sub-DPS.

Edgar provides healing to low-health allies while Nanally or Mint carries the main damage.

Zero is primarily in charge of triggering Blossom.

Jiuyuan acts as the team's other Sub-DPS and strengthens the Blossom reaction.

Skill Priority

3

Weight of Knowledge (Support Skill)

Since you will switch to Edgar often, upgrading his Support Skill increases its damage, but it is not urgent.

3

Combat Practice (Basic Attack)

Edgar will not attack as often, so this skill can be delayed.

4

Finnegan's Wake (Ultimate)

Finnegan's Wake deals a large amount of damage and provides healing over a duration. Upgrade it after Edgar's Skill.

5

Wild Current (Skill)

Most of Edgar's healing and damage comes from his Skill, so prioritize improving it first.

How to Play

Edgar is a stationary healer and support. Hold his Skill to channel healing and damage, save his Ultimate to heal your DPS while they keep attacking, and use him in Charge teams to apply Remora and charge allies' Ultimates through Gentle Edge.

Rotations

  1. 1Hold the Skill button to channel Wild Current, dealing damage to enemies and healing the ally with the lowest HP.
  2. 2Save Edgar's Ultimate until your Main or Sub-DPS needs healing while they are on the field.
  3. 3Trigger Charge to use Gentle Edge and fully charge an ally's Ultimate, then repeat after the 30-second lockout.

Tips

  • Hold Edgar's Skill to increase healing, but be ready to dodge because he is vulnerable while channeling.
  • Use Edgar's Ultimate on your Main or Sub-DPS so they can continue dealing damage inside the healing domain.
  • Edgar thrives in Charge compositions; his passive Gentle Edge grants 120 Ultimate Energy when Charge triggers, enough to fully charge an Ultimate, but Charge Energy recovery is disabled for 30 seconds afterward.
  • Place healing where mobile bosses and enemies will stay, since Edgar's Skill and Ultimate are stationary.
