B Tier

Fadia Build Guide

PsycheBureau of Anomaly Control, ETD-4View Character

Fadia is a B-Tier Survival character who mitigates team damage by taking a portion of it herself. After reaching a damage threshold, her Ultimate becomes empowered, dealing more damage and healing more HP. She works as an off-field tank and sub-DPS whose Skill and Ultimate scale with Max HP.

Strengths

  • Redirects a portion of damage taken by teammates to herself, improving team survivability.
  • Empowered Ultimate after reaching her HP threshold deals high Psyche damage and heals her.
  • Scales well with HP, allowing her to tank and deal damage from the same stat.
  • Pairs well with Nova and Stain Eclipse Cycle teams, especially with Chaos or Lakshana characters.
  • Can stall fights thanks to the self-healing from her Ultimate.

Weaknesses

  • Requires careful HP management to consistently trigger her empowered Ultimate.
  • B-Tier overall; outclassed by higher-tier tanks and DPS.
  • Off-field playstyle means her Basic Attack is rarely used, limiting her on-field presence.
  • Her damage redirection is calculated before shields, so she may take more damage than expected.

Best Main Stat: Psyche DMG Bonus or HP%

  • HP% is generally the safer choice for more survivability and HP scaling. Psyche DMG Bonus can be better if you want to spread out scaling and avoid an overly high HP threshold.

How to Play

Fadia is an HP-scaling sub-DPS tank. Keep her off-field to absorb damage for the team, then swap her in when her HP drops to the damage threshold. Use her Skill to apply Destructive Experience to the highest-HP enemy, then fire her empowered Ultimate for a burst of Psyche damage and healing.

Rotations

  1. 1Keep Fadia off-field until her HP reaches around 80% or lower → Switch to Fadia → Fadia Skill → Fadia Ultimate → Full Basic Attack Combo → Swap to Main DPS

Tips

  • Keep Fadia off-field until her HP reaches around 80% or lower to take advantage of her damage redirection.
  • When she is below the threshold, swap to Fadia, cast Skill to attach Destructive Experience to the strongest enemy, then immediately use Ultimate.
  • Her Basic Attack combo after the Ultimate is empowered, so finish it before swapping back to your main DPS.
  • Do not stack ATK buffs on Fadia–her extra Ultimate damage scales with Max HP.
  • Consider using Chaos teammates for Nova synergy or Lakshana teammates for Stain to boost her damage further.
