Adler

IncantationEibon Antique Shop

Adler supports the team by providing shields that scale with DEF and DoT damage that scales on standard damage means. Overall, he is placed in B-tier because his damage is lacking compared to other DPS units, and he is mainly sought out for his shielding.

Build Guide

Strengths

  • Scales well with DEF, making his shields strong.
  • Provides both shielding and DoT support.
  • Fits well into Scorch and Hexed team compositions.
  • Ultimate can apply extra DoT to lone enemies.

Weaknesses

  • Damage output is lacking compared to dedicated DPS units.
  • Usually played for shielding rather than damage.
  • B-tier viability limits his appeal in endgame content.
  • Needs DEF stacking to maximize shield value.

Best Teams

Adler Scorch Team

Adler supports a Scorch team as a shield/DoT support, paired with Baicang and Daffodill.

Use Adler first to cast Skill and shield the team.

Swap to Sakiri to buff, then Daffodill and Baicang for damage.

Use Adler's Ultimate on lone enemies for extra DoT.

Adler Discord Team

A variant of the Scorch team that replaces Sakiri with Haniel to trigger Discord instead.

Swap to Haniel to buff, then Daffodill and Baicang for damage.

Use Adler's Ultimate on lone enemies for extra DoT.

Adler Hexed Team

Adler can also work in Hexed teams with Nanally and Jiuyuan, leveraging high Anima and Incantation presence.

Use Nanally and Jiuyuan to apply frequent Hexed procs.

Adler provides shields and Incantation DoT support.

Skill Priority

2

Pristine Reflection (Support Skill)

Provides bonus Incantation damage, but offers not much else.

2

Deliverance (Basic Attack)

Basic Attacks are leveled last or outright ignored since Adler will normally use Skill and Ultimate more often.

3

Tranquility (Ultimate)

Leveled next for its burst damage, which is amplified against lone enemies such as bosses.

5

Evil's Bane (Skill)

Adler's DoT and shielding are based around this ability, so level this first to max out on both continuous damage and protective shielding.

How to Play

Adler is typically run first to cast his Skill and summon a shield. Use his Ultimate to apply Incantation DoT, then swap to Sub-DPS or DPS to continue the fight.

Rotations

  1. 1Adler Skill → Swap to Buffer → Swap to Sub-DPS → Swap to DPS → Adler Ultimate if enemy is alone

Tips

  • Against lone opponents or bosses, Adler's Ultimate summons perform a second strike, dealing extra Incantation DMG.
  • Pair Adler with Chaos characters for Scorch, or Anima for Hexed, though he fits Scorch better.
  • Have Adler go first or just before your DPS units so the shield is active when damage comes in.
  • Use Adler's Ultimate to apply Incantation DoT in Scorch teams.
