Edgar

CosmosCall of the Twisted CityEibon Antique Shop

Edgar is a healer who can top up the party's HP with his Skill and Ultimate. His healing is very stationary: his Skill roots him in place, and his Ultimate creates a fixed healing area, making it hard to keep allies healthy against mobile bosses and enemies.

Build Guide

Strengths

  • Strong dedicated healer; can top up party HP with his Skill and Ultimate.
  • Can support Charge teams by applying Remora and helping charge allies' Ultimates.
  • Gentle Edge passive can instantly charge an ally's Ultimate to full every 30 seconds when Charge triggers.

Weaknesses

  • Healing is stationary; Skill roots Edgar in place and Ultimate is a fixed area.
  • Struggles to heal against mobile bosses and enemies.
  • Vulnerable while channeling his Skill.

Skill Priority

3

Weight of Knowledge (Support Skill)

Since you will switch to Edgar often, upgrading his Support Skill increases its damage, but it is not urgent.

3

Combat Practice (Basic Attack)

You will not attack as much with Edgar, so this can be put off for a while.

4

Finnegan's Wake (Ultimate)

Deals a large amount of damage and provides healing over a duration. Upgrade after improving Edgar's Skill.

5

Wild Current (Skill)

Most of Edgar's healing and damage comes from his Skill; prioritize upgrading it to improve its effects.

How to Play

Edgar is a stationary healer who supports teams with sustained healing and Charge synergy. Hold his Skill to channel healing and damage, save Ultimate to heal DPS while they keep attacking, and use him in Charge compositions to apply Remora and charge allies' Ultimates.

Rotations

  1. 1Hold Skill to channel Wild Current, damaging enemies and healing the lowest-HP ally.
  2. 2Save Ultimate until your Main or Sub-DPS needs healing while on the field.
  3. 3Use Gentle Edge to fully charge an ally's Ultimate every 30 seconds when Charge is triggered.

Tips

  • Hold down the Skill button to channel Edgar's Skill, dealing damage to enemies and healing the ally with the lowest HP.
  • Edgar is vulnerable while channeling his Skill; be ready to dodge if needed.
  • Use Edgar's Ultimate to place a healing domain that lets your DPS continue dealing damage while staying healed.
  • Edgar thrives in Charge teams as a Cosmos character; he can apply Remora, which when hit by Vita Pistils created by Blossom reactions provides Ultimate Energy for the active character.
  • Edgar's passive, Gentle Edge, provides 120 Ultimate Energy when Charge is triggered, enough to instantly charge Ultimates to full.
  • Ultimate Energy recovery from Charge (both the basic and empowered version from Edgar's passive) is disabled afterward for 30 seconds.
