Ardelia
SSearly game support
supporthealerdebuffer
Ardelia earns a top-tier rating as a Nature sustain Supporter: she can debuff enemies with Corrosion then Physical and Arts Susceptibility, while her Talent provides reliable healing. Despite a low reroll rating, her healing, debuffs, and team-wide damage amp make her an all-rounder in many compositions.
This early game build for Ardelia uses the Mordvolt Resistant gear set and the Freedom to Proselytize weapon to maximize her healing through Will stacking. The set provides Will and Intelligence, and its low-HP Treatment bonus can save her in tight situations. While not as strong as endgame sets, it is an easy-to-obtain option for new players that turns her into a reliable sustain support.
Insights
Core Mechanics
- Ardelia's Combo Skill Eruption Column applies Corrosion to enemies, lowering their elemental resistance.
- Dolly Rush consumes Corrosion to apply Physical and Arts Susceptibility, boosting incoming damage.
- Her Talent Friendly Presence creates Shadows of Mr. Dolly that heal the controlled operator on touch; she can heal the lowest-HP ally instead if the controlled operator is full.
- Her Ultimate Wooly Party deals Nature damage and has a chance to spawn more healing Shadows, enabling sustainable team healing.
Scaling
- Healing from Friendly Presence scales with Will, making Will and Treatment Efficiency her most valuable stats.
- She is strong from early game and only improves with the Eternal Xiranite set's team damage buff and the LYNX set's damage reduction.
- Her debuffing potential (Corrosion into Susceptibility) makes her valuable even at low investment, but she becomes a true team enabler with endgame gear.
Team Role
Ardelia fills a sustain/debuffer slot in teams. She enables damage by applying Corrosion and then consuming it for Physical/Arts Susceptibility, and her healing from Shadows of Mr. Dolly keeps the controlled operator healthy. She fits well in endgame teams that want both survivability and a damage amp, as the Eternal Xiranite set lets her grant teammates +16% damage after applying Amp, Protected, Susceptibility, or Weakened. In pure survival comps, the LYNX set adds damage reduction on top of her heals. She can act as the main support in a wide range of team compositions, especially where sustained HP management and debuffs are needed.

Explanation
Early on, stacking Will directly increases the healing from Friendly Presence, so Mordvolt Resistant's Will boost is perfect.
The set's Treatment Effect bonus when below 50% HP helps Ardelia sustain herself in dangerous fights.
Freedom to Proselytize is chosen because it grants Will and a second-target heal; Fluorescent Roc is a fallback that also gives Will and some ATK.
Notes
- Mordvolt Resistant set provides Will and Intelligence for bigger heals, with a conditional Treatment Effect bonus when under 50% HP.
- Freedom to Proselytize adds even more Will and lets her heal an extra ally, making her a solid early sustainer.
- If you have Dreams of the Starry Beach, it can replace Freedom for stronger healing and enemy debuffing, but Freedom is a good early pick.
