C TierEdgar Build Guide
Edgar is a support healer who can top up the party's HP with his Skill and Ultimate. His healing abilities are stationary: his Skill makes him stand still and his Ultimate creates a fixed area, making it harder to heal against mobile enemies. He excels in Charge team compositions thanks to his passive, which can fully charge an ally's Ultimate.
Strengths
- Strong sustained healing through channeled Skill and Ultimate domain.
- Can fully charge ally Ultimates with Gentle Edge passive (120 Ultimate Energy) whenever Charge triggers.
- Can act as a buffer with Speedy Hedgehog Cartridge or certain Awakenings.
Weaknesses
- Healing is very stationary; Skill roots him and Ultimate is a fixed area.
- Vulnerable while channeling Skill.
- Less effective against mobile bosses and enemies.
