Kit Analysis
Strengths
- + Excellent team support through healing and damage buffs
- + Can apply both Physical and Arts Susceptibility
- + Unique gameplay loop with Corrosion mechanic
- + Good synergy with Arts teams
Weaknesses
- − Relies on Combo Skill to apply Corrosion
- − Healing is secondary to her support role
- − Requires specific team compositions to maximize effectiveness
Team Compositions
Laevatain + Wulfgard + Akekuri + Ardelia
Ardelia has good synergy with Laevatain, since it triggers Corrosion when using her Combo Skill, which triggers Laevatain's Combo Skill for faster resource generation. Being a full Arts Damage team means that Ardelia can make full use of her Signature Engine.
Endministrator + Chen Qianyu + Ember + Ardelia
Ardelia applies both Physical and Arts Susceptibility with her Battle Skill, so even Physical teams can make use out of her. Just keep in mind that Ardelia requires a Final Hit against an enemy with no Vulnerable or Arts Infliction stacks in order to use her Combo Skill, which is really important since it's the only way to trigger Corrosion.
