Edgar

Cosmos Call of the Twisted City Eibon Antique Shop

Edgar is one of the game's healers, capable of topping up the party's HP with his Skill and Ultimate. His healing abilities, however, are very stationary. His skill, for example, makes him stand still, while his Ultimate is applied in a fixed area. This can make it difficult for Edgar to heal his team when facing off against mobile bosses and enemies.

Build Guide

Strengths

  • Strong healing output with Skill and Ultimate
  • Can charge ally Ultimates to full with passive Gentle Edge

Weaknesses

  • Healing is stationary, vulnerable while using Skill
  • Ultimate area is fixed, less effective against mobile enemies

Skill Priority

Useful for damage when switching to Edgar, but not urgent.

Low priority as Edgar attacks infrequently.

4

Finnegan's Wake (Ultimate)

Deals large damage and provides healing over time. Upgrade after Skill.

5

Wild Current (Skill)

Most of Edgar's healing and damage comes from his Skill. Prioritize improving this skill.

How to Play

Hold the Skill button to channel and heal the lowest HP ally while dealing damage. Use Ultimate to place a healing zone for active DPS. Trigger Charge to fully charge an ally's Ultimate every 30 seconds.

Rotations

  1. 1 1. Hold down the Skill button to channel Edgar's Skill, dealing damage to enemies and healing the ally with the lowest HP.
  2. 2 2. Hold on to Edgar's Ultimate until you need to heal your Main or Sub-DPS while they are in the field.
  3. 3 3. Take advantage of Gentle Edge to fully charge an ally's Ultimate every 30 seconds whenever Charge is triggered.

Tips

  • Hold Skill for more healing but stay aware of positioning.
  • Use Ultimate to let DPS keep attacking while being healed.
  • Edgar excels in Charge teams where his passive can instantly fill Ultimate gauges.
