Edgar

Cosmos Call of the Twisted City Eibon Antique Shop

Edgar is a Cosmos healer who channels a large heal via his Skill and provides an area heal with his Ultimate. He can keep allies topped off but his healing is mostly stationary — both his Skill (channel) and Ultimate (fixed-domain) make it hard to support very mobile allies or bosses.

Build Guide

Strengths

  • Strong single-target and area healing from Skill and Ultimate.
  • Can also deal damage while healing (Skill + Awakening synergy).
  • Passive (Gentle Edge) can instantly fill an ally's Ultimate in Charge comps.

Weaknesses

  • Healing is stationary: Skill channels in place and Ultimate is a fixed domain.
  • Harder to heal mobile allies or when enemies force movement.
  • Charge-based passive has a 30s disable window after use.

Best Teams

Edgar Charge Support

Charge-focused team that uses the Charge Eclipse Cycle to give Edgar big Ultimate-energy bursts for the active character. Edgar is the support healer; the Lakshana slot can be Hathor or Skia to apply Remora and help trigger Charge mechanics.

Keep Edgar ready to channel Skill when the active ally needs healing.

Use Lakshana (Hathor/Skia) to apply Remora so Blossom/Vita triggers generate Charge energy.

Timing: trigger Charge cycles to instantly fill an ally's Ultimate (Gentle Edge gives 120 UE); use that window for big plays.

Edgar Blossom Support

Blossom-centric team where Edgar acts as the healer while the team focuses on Blossom reactions. Edgar heals low-health allies and the team uses Blossom triggers to generate damage/benefits.

Use Edgar to keep the party healthy while Blossom triggers do the heavy damage.

Have Esper Zero trigger Blossom reliably while Nanally/Mint acts as the main damage dealer.

Position allies in Edgar's Ultimate domain when you want sustained healing while they output DPS.

Skill Priority

3

Weight of Knowledge (Support Skill)

Support-skill damage increase helps when you switch to Edgar frequently; useful but not urgent to upgrade.

3

Combat Practice (Basic Attack)

Not a priority — Edgar is used primarily for healing/support rather than basic attacks.

4

Finnegan's Wake (Ultimate)

Places a healing domain that heals allies inside it over time while dealing damage. Upgrade after Skill to improve healing and damage.

5

Wild Current (Skill)

Primary source of Edgar's healing and damage. Channel to heal the lowest-HP ally; hold longer for stronger healing — upgrade first.

How to Play

Edgar channels his Skill to heal the lowest-HP ally; use his Ultimate to create a healing domain so your DPS can stay active while healed. He excels in Charge teams where his passive quickly fills an ally's Ultimate.

Rotations

  1. 1 1) Hold Skill to channel and heal the ally with the lowest HP.
  2. 2 2) Hold Edgar's Ultimate until you need to heal your Main or Sub-DPS while they remain in the field.
  3. 3 3) Time Charge triggers (Gentle Edge) to fully charge an ally's Ultimate every ~30s when possible.

Tips

  • Hold the Skill button to increase heal amount — but be ready to dodge since you're stationary while channeling.
  • Save Ultimate to place the healing domain under a high-value DPS so they can keep dealing damage while being healed.
  • Use Edgar in Charge team comps to instantly fill ally Ultimates via his passive (Gentle Edge), but remember the 30s disable after use.

Skills

Proactive Combat Practice
