Analysis

The most flexible shielder in the meta, and the only 4-star Incantation unit — Baicang, Sakiri and Zankou are all S-level, so he is the cheapest way to hold that element's Esper Cycle slot. Shields with Blessing, applies Incantation DoT and carries Scorch Enhancement on top of it.

Pros

3
High mobility and reliable shielding
Incantation element provides superior Esper Cycle coverage vs other sustain types
Karma builds to 20 stacks off ordinary Basic Attacks, so Evil's Bane is paid for by playing him normally

Cons

2
Lacks the pure damage multipliers of S-Rank main carries
Temperance rolls one of three debuffs at random on each Scorch — -20% ATK, -10% Esper Resistance or +10% Break Efficiency — so the one the team needs is never guaranteed
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.
