Tier Position

Tier

Analysis

Zone-based healer with restrictive positioning. Static healing zone clashes with NTE's high-movement endgame demands.

Pros

High localized healing output within the zone

Cons

Inflexible — static healing zone is a liability in mobile boss fights

High-movement endgame requirements render him almost entirely obsolete

Recommended Build

Role: Support / Healer

Edgar's Gentle Edge demands a team that reliably triggers Charge via Support Skills — the Cosmos (Edgar) + Anima (Nanally) + Lakshana (Hathor) top-trio does exactly that every rotation. Replacing Zero with Hathor adds Remora uptime and a team-wide Crit Rate buff via Delay Warning, directly amplifying Nanally's Pistil crits. Jiuyuan's Seize the Moment stacks 6 simultaneous Vita Buds, and Edgar's 120-energy burst fires on every Charge proc, keeping all four Ultimates in near-constant rotation.

Recommended Team

Nanally

Main DPS

More Than Passionate fires 10 Vita Pistils per Vita Bud at 1s intervals; the primary Blossom damage dealer.

Hathor

Battery / Sub DPS

Lakshana anchor completing the Cosmos+Anima+Lakshana Charge triple-cycle; Delay Warning extends Remora to 12s and grants the whole team +10% Crit Rate on Remora-marked targets.

Edgar

Support / Healer

Gentle Edge grants 120 Ultimate Energy to all allies the instant Charge triggers via a Support Skill — the strongest energy burst passive available in any Charge-trio setup.

Jiuyuan

Sub DPS / Crowd Control

Seize the Moment raises the Vita Bud field cap to 6; Intel Hunter clusters enemies for maximum multi-target Pistil coverage.

About

Edgar's quietness often stems from either being absorbed in an intriguing problem or not knowing how to express himself. In Eibon, a place full of oddballs, Edgar is neither criticized nor ignored for being quiet. "Ahem, I've decided to draft a grand plan for the Coluccis' revitalization tonight." "Leave me out of it." "Overruled! Sakiri, you and Edgar both have to come." "I…" "Eh—no way." Though, sometimes Edgar's silence is because he doesn't get a chance to speak…
