Adler
Adler is a support unit who defends his team with shields that scale off DEF, while also contributing Incantation DoT damage. He sits in B-tier because his personal damage is low compared to dedicated DPS units, so he is mainly picked for his shielding and team survivability.
Build Guide
Strengths
- Shields scale with DEF, greatly improving team survivability.
- Provides Incantation DoT to add extra trace damage.
- Fits naturally into Scorch teams thanks to his Incantation passives.
- Low-investment support who functions well by simply using his Skill and swapping out.
Weaknesses
- Personal damage is lacking compared to other DPS units.
- Mostly sought out for his shielding rather than his offense.
- Skill-reliant kit means his Basic Attacks and Support Skill see little use.
Best Arcs
Rainman: Increases HP by 10%. Strengthens shields by 10% while the wearer's HP is above 50%.

Best Teams
Adler serves as a general shield support with DoT capabilities. As an Incantation unit, his best team is a Scorch team with Baicang as Main DPS and Daffodill as Sub-DPS. Swapping Sakiri for Haniel turns it into a Discord team.
Start with Adler to apply shields before swapping to your buffer and DPS units.
Use Adler's Ultimate to apply Incantation DoT, which is amplified in Scorch teams.
Swap to the Sub-DPS or Main DPS to potentially trigger an Incantation-related Esper Cycle.
Adler can also slot into Hexed teams with Nanally and Jiuyuan, taking advantage of the team's high Anima and Incantation presence to trigger Hexed frequently.
Open with Adler to shield the team, then rotate through buffer and DPS.
Rely on the team's Anima and Incantation output to proc Hexed frequently.
Skill Priority
Pristine Reflection (Support Skill)
Provides bonus Incantation damage, but offers not much else.
Deliverance (Basic Attack)
Leveled last or outright ignored since Adler normally uses his Skill and Ultimate more often.
Tranquility (Ultimate)
Leveled next for its burst damage, which is amplified against lone enemies such as bosses.
Evil's Bane (Skill)
Adler's DoT and shielding are based around this ability, so level it first to maximize both his continuous damage and protective shielding.
How to Play
Adler is usually run as the very first unit in a fight, casting his Skill to summon a shield that defends his team. He then swaps out, using his Ultimate to apply Incantation DoT, especially against lone opponents. Pair him with Chaos characters for Scorch or Anima characters for Hexed, though he fits Scorch teams best.
Rotations
- 1Adler Skill → Swap to Buffer → Swap to Sub-DPS → Swap to DPS → Adler Ultimate if enemy is alone
Tips
- Have Adler go first, or just before your DPS units, so his shield is active when damage starts.
- Use Adler's Ultimate when an enemy is alone so its summons perform a second strike.
- His skillset and passives make him a better fit for Scorch teams, where he directly contributes DoT damage.
- Chaos teammates enable Scorch, while Anima teammates enable Hexed for follow-up attack teams.
