B Tier TierFadia Build Guide
Fadia is an HP-scaling tank and sub-DPS who mitigates damage for her team by redirecting part of the damage taken to herself. When her HP drops low enough, she can use an empowered Ultimate that deals more damage and heals more of her HP. She is a strong survival unit, but managing her HP threshold takes practice.
Strengths
- Mitigates damage for the team by redirecting part of damage taken to herself.
- HP-scaling tank and sub-DPS who can deal respectable Psyche DMG.
- Empowered Ultimate deals more damage and heals more when HP is low.
- Provides a Nova-specific enhancement that deals 200% of Fadia's base HP and heals allies except herself.
- Can enable Stain with Lakshana characters to increase Esper DMG.
- Great stall and solo potential through Ultimate healing.
Weaknesses
- Managing her HP threshold takes practice.
- Needs to be kept off-field often to maximize damage soaking.
- ATK buffs are ineffective because her damage scales off HP.
- A Time Will Come alternative locks team composition to 3 different Esper Types.
- Eternal Waltz requires a Chaos character like Daffodill to maximize its effect.

Best Teams
Fadia mitigates damage for the team with her passive that redirects damage to herself. Nanally is the Main DPS, Daffodill is the Sub-DPS, and Sakiri is the buffer. Adler can replace Sakiri to increase survivability. The team can apply Scorch and Nova to trigger Discord and use Hexed for follow-up damage.

- Adler is a decent option over Sakiri because Fadia redirects damage before shield mitigation.
Similar to the Discord Team, Fadia mitigates damage by redirecting it to herself. Mint is the Main DPS, with Zero and Hathor as Sub-DPS. Skia can replace Hathor. The team focuses on the Charge Eclipse Cycle to charge Ultimates, and can also apply Stain and Remora and summon Vita Buds with Blossom.

Skill Priority
Wordless Rejection (Basic Attack)
Because Fadia will mostly be off-field, her Basic Attack is not a priority to improve.
Existence (Skill)
Deals damage in an area before inflicting Destructive Experience on an enemy, making them take some of the damage Fadia takes. Improve next to increase its damage.
Outsider (Support Skill)
Improve this skill to increase the damage Fadia deals when using her Support Skill.
Agony to Euphoria (Ultimate)
Fadia's Ultimate is her biggest source of damage and can be instantly activated once her HP gets low enough. Level this first to increase her damage output.
Awakening Priority
Instinct
Improves Fadia's Skill by increasing Destructive Experience's damage ratio and cap. If you did not hit the damage cap, the remaining damage is dealt in one go once Destructive Experience is removed.
Curser of Blessings
Provides a huge boost to Fadia's Max HP whenever she enters combat, effectively increasing the damage her Skill and Ultimate deal.
Apostate
The damage that Fadia redirects to herself increases, allowing her to tank more damage for her team.
Bringer of Love and Death
When Fadia applies Destructive Experience, she now applies it to multiple targets, allowing her to damage multiple enemies at the same time.
Breaker of Taboos
Improves the healing that Fadia gets whenever she enters her Lilith form.
Survivor of Death
Improves Fadia's CRIT Rate while in the Lilith State, improving her damage output.
How to Play
Fadia is an HP-scaling sub-DPS tank. Keep her off-field to soak damage for the active character. When her HP reaches the Destructive Threshold, swap to her, use Skill to apply Destructive Experience to the highest-HP enemy, then Ultimate to deal Psyche DMG and empower her Basic Attack combo. After the combo, swap back to your Main DPS. She excels with Chaos/Nova or Lakshana/Stain teams and can use her Ultimate to heal and stall.
Rotations
- 1Standard Rotation: Keep 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.
- 2When entering the field, cast Skill to inflict the highest-HP opponent with her attachment, then fight normally and swap off to let Fadia's passive take hits.
Tips
- Fadia's passive lets her soak a portion of damage taken by the team while off-field, draining her HP toward her desired threshold.
- Once below the HP threshold, her Ultimate deals more damage and heals more; manage HP to decide when to go on-field.
- Team her with Chaos characters to use her Nova-specific enhancement, which deals 200% of Fadia's base HP and heals allies except Fadia.
- She can also enable Stain with Lakshana characters, increasing DMG done to enemies from both Esper sources.
- Her Ultimate heals on cast, giving great stall potential and solo survivability if you manage HP well.
- Avoid buffing her with Sakiri or Haniel; her Ultimate bonus damage scales off HP, not ATK.
