C TierEdgar Build Guide
Edgar is one of the game's healers, capable of topping up the party's HP with his Skill and Ultimate. His healing abilities, however, are very stationary. His skill makes him stand still, while his Ultimate is applied in a fixed area. This can make it difficult for Edgar to heal his team when facing mobile bosses and enemies.
Strengths
- Strong single-target and area healing
- Can fully charge an ally's Ultimate every 30s with his passive Gentle Edge when Charge is triggered
Weaknesses
- Stationary healing leaves him vulnerable
- Ultimate is a fixed area, less effective against mobile enemies
