Eibon Record
Adler
Adler is a defensive Incantation unit who provides strong DEF-scaled shields and Incantation DoT. He’s primarily run as a support/shielding unit (B-tier) — his raw DPS lags behind top DPS characters, so he’s usually picked for survivability rather than raw damage.
Build Guide
Strengths
- Generates DEF-scaling shields that improve team survivability.
- Applies reliable Incantation DoT to contribute passive team damage.
- Good fit for Scorch (Chaos) teams and can also enable Hexed (Anima) comps.
- Strong utility when built with DEF% and Kingdom's Guard set.
Weaknesses
- Overall damage is below many dedicated DPS units — best used as support.
- Relies on Skill/Ultimate usage and swapping; Basic Attacks are weak.
- Needs DEF investment (modules/cartridge) to maximize shield value.
Best Arcs
Rainman — +10% HP and strengthens shields by 10% while wearer's HP is above 50%.
Bittercake — Increases DEF by 26% for 10s when taking damage (trigger once every 20s).
Tidal Ascension — Grants wearer +10% ATK, +10% DEF, +10% HP when the team has at least 3 different Esper Types.

Module Layout
Best Teams
Standard Scorch team: Adler provides shields and Incantation DoT while Baicang and Daffodill handle main/sub DPS. Sakiri is the buffer; swapping Haniel in creates a Discord variant.
Start with Adler to cast Skill and apply the shield before the DPS cycle.
Adler’s DoT supports Scorch teams by contributing Incantation damage over time.
Swap off Adler after shield application to let DPS units trigger Esper cycles.
Hexed-oriented team: Adler provides shielding and Incantation DoT alongside high Anima and Incantation presence to proc Hexed frequently.
Use Adler early to secure shields, then run Nanally/Jiuyuan to capitalize on Hexed procs and follow-up attacks.
Hexed teams benefit from Adler’s Incantation presence and defensive utility.
Skill Priority
Evil's Bane (Skill)
Primary ability — provides Adler's DoT and DEF-scaling shield. Level first to maximize continuous Incantation damage and shield strength.
Tranquility (Ultimate)
Ultimate burst that applies additional Incantation DoT; stronger vs lone enemies (bosses) because it performs a second strike.
Pristine Reflection (Support Skill)
Gives bonus Incantation damage; useful but secondary to Skill/Ultimate and shields.
Deliverance (Basic Attack)
Least important — Adler mostly uses Skill/Ultimate, so basic attacks are leveled last or ignored.
How to Play
Start Adler first to cast his Skill and provide a DEF-scaled shield, swap to buffers/DPS to run cycles, and use his Ultimate primarily on lone enemies for extra DoT and an additional strike.
Rotations
- 1 Adler Skill → Swap to Buffer → Swap to Sub-DPS → Swap to DPS → Adler Ultimate if enemy is alone
- 2 General loop: use Skill to spawn shield, swap off to deal damage, return/use Ultimate situationally vs lone targets.
Tips
- Always try to have Adler go first (or right before your DPS) so his shield is active for the incoming damage.
- Build DEF% main stat and modules to maximize shield strength; Kingdom's Guard + Type III set is ideal.
- Use Ultimate when facing a single enemy (boss) — it delivers an extra strike and applies stronger DoT.
- Pair Adler in Scorch (Chaos) teams for DoT synergy; he also works in Hexed (Anima) comps where follow-ups are common.
