Fadia Build Guide

Psyche Bureau of Anomaly Control, ETD-4 View Character

Fadia is an HP-scaling Survival unit that soaks part of teammates' incoming damage and, once her HP crosses a threshold, can instantly perform an empowered Ultimate that deals strong Psyche damage and heals. She functions as a tanky sub‑DPS but requires careful HP management to time her Ultimate and heal bursts.

Strengths

  • Can mitigate team damage by redirecting hits to herself, improving survivability.
  • Ultimate scales with Max HP and heals, giving strong damage + sustain when timed correctly.
  • Synergizes well with Nova / Chaos compositions and teams that exploit Stain/Hex interactions.

Weaknesses

  • Requires active HP management — you must let her be damaged off‑field to trigger her empowered Ultimate.
  • Less straightforward than pure DPS units; buffs to ATK are less valuable since her Ultimate scales off HP.
  • Learning curve for deciding when to swap her in/out and when to let her tank through fights.

Epic(2): Psyche DMG +10%. Legendary(4): Increases wearer DMG by 18% (36% vs units with Nova or Stain).

Best Main Stat: Psyche DMG Bonus or HP%

  • HP% is best for raw HP scaling (damage + survivability). Psyche DMG Bonus can be chosen to avoid diminishing returns on HP and to better spread scaling.

  • Prioritize HP% / flat HP subs to increase both survivability and Fadia's HP‑scaled Skill/Ultimate damage.

Best Teams

Fadia Discord Team

Damage‑mitigation + Discord damage team. Fadia soaks hits off‑field while Nanally is Main DPS; team applies Scorch/Nova for Discord procs and Hexed follow‑ups.

Alternatives

Keep Fadia off‑field to absorb damage and bring her to the Destructive Threshold.

When ready, swap to Fadia → Skill onto highest‑HP enemy → Ultimate for frontloaded Psyche damage and team healing.

Use Scorch/Nova and Discord synergies to amplify damage on Fadia's follow‑up attacks.

  • Adler is a viable pick when you want stronger shields/mitigation rather than pure buffing from Sakiri.
Fadia Charge Team

Charge/Eclipse cycle team that focuses on building Ultimates quickly while Fadia soaks damage off‑field until she can use her empowered Ultimate.

Alternatives

Focus the Eclipse cycle on Charge to get more Ultimates ready for your main DPS.

Fadia's passive will lower her HP off‑field — swap in to use Skill + Ultimate when below threshold.

This team can also apply Stain and Remora to set up follow‑up damage and Vita Bud summons.

  • This roster emphasizes basic Charge support and HP stacking; Tiny Big Adventure cartridge can further increase Fadia's HP when needed.

Skill Priority

1

Agony to Euphoria (Ultimate)

Fadia's main damage source and scales with HP. Level this first to raise Ultimate damage and its healing effect.

2

Existence (Skill)

Applies Destructive Experience to enemies so they take some of the damage Fadia receives; level to increase its damage and cap.

3

Outsider (Support Skill)

Improves Fadia's Support Skill damage—invest after Skill/Ultimate.

4

Wordless Rejection (Basic Attack)

Low priority since Fadia is often off‑field; level only after main combat skills.

Awakening Priority

1

Instinct

Increases Destructive Experience's damage ratio and cap; leftover cap damage is dealt once the effect ends — major DPS boost for her Skill.

2

Curser of Blessings

Grants a large Max HP increase on entering combat, directly boosting both her damage and survivability.

3

Apostate

Increases the portion of team damage redirected to Fadia, letting her tank more for teammates.

4

Bringer of Love and Death

Makes Destructive Experience apply to multiple targets, improving AoE damage potential.

5

Breaker of Taboos

Improves the healing Fadia receives when entering her Lilith form after Ultimate.

6

Survivor of Death

Increases Crit Rate while in Lilith State to raise her damage output.

How to Play

Keep Fadia off‑field to let her passive pull damage onto her HP until she reaches the Destructive Threshold, then swap in to open with Skill → Ultimate and follow with her basic combo before swapping back to your main DPS.

Rotations

  1. 1 Off‑field until Fadia HP ≈ 80% or lower → Swap to Fadia → Skill (apply Destructive Experience) → Ultimate → Full Basic Attack combo → Swap to Main DPS
  2. 2 If using Tiny Big Adventure, cast Ultimate to instantly gain HP stacks before heavy damage windows.

Tips

  • Keep Fadia off‑field for as long as possible so her passive can drain her HP toward the threshold.
  • Apply Skill to the enemy with the highest HP to maximize Destructive Experience effectiveness.
  • After Skill → Ultimate → full Basic Attack combo, swap back to your Main DPS to continue the team's rotation.
