Adler

Incantation Eibon Antique Shop

Adler supports the team by providing both shields that scale with DEF, and DoT damage that scales on standard damage means. Overall, though, he is placed in B-tier as the damage he offers is lacking compared to other DPS units, and is thus sought out mostly for his shielding.

Build Guide

Strengths

  • Provides DEF-scaling shields to improve team survivability
  • Applies Incantation DoT for sustained damage
  • Fits well in Scorch and Hexed team compositions

Weaknesses

  • Low personal damage output
  • Primarily a shield support, not a main DPS

Best Teams

Scorch/Discord Team

Adler serves as a general shield support with DoT capabilities. Best in a Scorch team with Baicang and Daffodill. Swap Sakiri for Haniel to turn it into a Discord team.

Start with Adler's Skill to deploy shields

Swap to Buffer then Sub-DPS then Main DPS

Use Adler's Ultimate on lone enemies for extra DoT

Hexed Team

Adler functions in Hexed teams with Nanally and Jiuyuan due to high Anima and Incantation presence, enabling frequent Hexed procs.

Use Adler's Skill for shields and DoT application

Follow with buffer and damage dealers to trigger Hexed

Skill Priority

2

Pristine Reflection (Support Skill)

Provides bonus Incantation damage, but offers not much else.

2

Deliverance (Basic Attack)

Basic Attacks are leveled last or outright ignored since Adler will normally be using their Skill and Ultimate more often.

3

Tranquility (Ultimate)

Adler's Ultimate is leveled next for its burst damage, which is amplified when against lone enemies, such as bosses.

5

Evil's Bane (Skill)

Adler's DoT and shielding are based around this ability, so level this first to max out on both his continuous damage and protective shielding.

How to Play

Adler is usually run as the very first unit in a fight, casting his Skill to summon his Shield to defend his team. Use his Ultimate to apply Incantation DoT to opponents, especially in Scorch teams. Then swap to Sub-DPS or Main DPS to trigger Esper Cycles.

Rotations

  1. 1 Standard Rotation: Adler Skill → Swap to Buffer → Swap to Sub-DPS → Swap to DPS → Adler Ultimate if enemy is alone

Tips

  • Have Adler go first or just before your DPS units
  • Use Ultimate on lone enemies for bonus DoT
  • Pair with Chaos or Anima characters for optimal synergy
