C Tier TierEdgar Build Guide
Edgar is one of the game's healers, capable of topping up the party's HP with his Skill and Ultimate. His healing abilities, however, are very stationary. His skill, for example, makes him stand still, while his Ultimate is applied in a fixed area. This can make it difficult for Edgar to heal his team when facing off against mobile bosses and enemies.
Strengths
- Strong healing output with Skill and Ultimate
- Can charge ally Ultimates to full with passive Gentle Edge
Weaknesses
- Healing is stationary, vulnerable while using Skill
- Ultimate area is fixed, less effective against mobile enemies
