Adler

Eibon Butler

A-Rank

Incantation Bose SurvivalShieldDoT

The true pillar of the Eibon Antique Shop is a humble and reliable old-fashioned gentleman. Many Anomaly Hunter organizations in Hethereau have tried to poach him, but Mr. Adler steadfastly remains...

Tier Position

Analysis

The most flexible shielder in the meta. High mobility and Incantation element provide superior Esper Cycle coverage.

Pros

High mobility and reliable shielding

Incantation element provides superior Esper Cycle coverage vs other sustain types

Cons

Lacks the offensive damage buffs found in T0 utility units

Recommended Build

Role: Support / Tank

Adler is the best F2P support in Incantation comps. Evil's Bane grants shields and triggers Scorch with no special conditions, while Temperance's random debuffs—most notably +10% Break Efficiency—are uniquely valuable in bossing. Kingdom's Guard amplifies his DEF and Break contribution for extra tanking. Running alongside Baicang and Daffodill covers Incantation+Chaos+Psyche for Scorch and Discord. A staple for players without Sakiri.

Recommended Team

Baicang

Primary damage dealer with Incantation Power Words and a DoT domain that can Execute low-HP enemies (≤10% standard / ≤5% boss).

Adler

Support / Tank

Daffodill

Break Specialist

Haniel

Support / Healer
