Edgar Build Guide

Cosmos Eibon Antique Shop View Character

Edgar is a healer capable of topping up the party's HP with his Skill and Ultimate. His healing abilities are stationary, making it difficult to heal teammates against mobile enemies.

Strengths

  • Consistent healing over time
  • Can fully charge an ally's Ultimate every 30 seconds with his passive Gentle Edge when Charge is triggered

Weaknesses

  • Healing abilities are stationary; Skill locks him in place, Ultimate is a fixed area
  • Vulnerable while channeling Skill

How to Play

Edgar's gameplay revolves around channeling his Skill for sustained healing and using his Ultimate to create a healing zone for allies. He excels in Charge team compositions where his passive can fully charge an ally's Ultimate every 30 seconds.

Rotations

  1. 1 Start with Edgar: apply Remora with basic attacks or skill.
  2. 2 Switch to Sub-DPS or Main DPS to build Charge.
  3. 3 When Charge is triggered, Edgar's passive will give the active character 120 Ultimate Energy.
  4. 4 Use Edgar's Ultimate to heal the team during tough fights.
  5. 5 Repeat the cycle with a 30-second cooldown on the passive Ultimate charge.

Tips

  • Hold the Skill button to increase healing output, but stay alert to dodge attacks.
  • Deploy Ultimate when your DPS needs healing so they can continue attacking inside the zone.
  • Focus on triggering Charge to utilize Edgar's passive for instant Ultimate recharges.
  • Use Edgar in teams that can benefit from Remora and Charge mechanics.
