B TierFadia Build Guide
Fadia is a Survival character whose gimmick is to mitigate the damage her teammates take by taking part of the damage herself. Then, upon reaching a certain threshold, she can perform an empowered version of her Ultimate, which deals more damage and heals more of Fadia's HP. This makes Fadia a great tank and sub-DPS, although managing her HP will take some getting used to.
Strengths
- Great tank and sub-DPS.
- Can redirect damage to herself, protecting allies.
- Empowered Ultimate at low HP provides high damage and self-healing.
Weaknesses
- Requires careful HP management.
- Needs specific team compositions to maximize potential.
- Playing her effectively demands attention to HP thresholds.

Best Teams
Fadia mitigates damage for the team. Nanally is the main DPS, Daffodill sub-DPS, and Sakiri buffer. The team applies Scorch and Nova to trigger Discord, and uses Hexed for follow-up damage.
Alternatives
Fadia redirects damage to herself, protecting the team.
Nanally deals main DPS with support from Daffodill and Sakiri.
Utilize Scorch and Nova to trigger Discord for extra damage.
- Damage redirected to Fadia is computed before shield mitigation, so Adler's shields work well.
Fadia mitigates damage while Mint is the main DPS, with Zero and Hathor as sub-DPS. The team focuses on the Charge Eclipse Cycle to charge Ultimates faster, and also applies Stain, Remora, and Blossom.
Alternatives
Fadia protects the team by taking damage.
Mint serves as main DPS, with Zero and Hathor providing sub-DPS.
Focus on Charge Eclipse Cycle to accelerate Ultimate charging.
- The team can also apply Stain, Remora, and summon Vita Buds with Blossom.
Skill Priority
Wordless Rejection
Because Fadia will mostly be off-field, her Basic Attack is not a priority to improve.
Existence
Existence deals damage in an area before inflicting Destructive Experience on an enemy, which makes them take some of the damage that Fadia takes. Improve this next to increase its damage.
Outsider
Improve this skill to increase the damage that Fadia deals when using her Support Skill.
Agony to Euphoria
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 the damage cap is not hit, remaining damage is dealt when Destructive Experience is removed.
Curser of Blessings
Provides a huge boost to Fadia's Max HP whenever she enters combat, increasing the damage her Skill and Ultimate deal.
Apostate
Increases the damage that Fadia redirects to herself, 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 that changes from off-field tank support to on-field Psyche DMG driver. Keep her off-field to maximize damage tanking. When HP drops, cast Skill on the highest HP enemy to apply Destructive Experience, then swap off. Once HP reaches the threshold, swap back, use Skill then Ultimate for burst damage.
Rotations
- 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
- Fadia can play both on-field and off-field. Off-field she soaks damage, on-field she deals damage after a threshold.
- Team up with Chaos or Lakshana characters for Nova or Stain synergies.
- Her Ultimate provides great stall potential; use it to heal and deal damage when HP is low.
