Adler

Incantation Arc Class V Tier A
Adler in 30 seconds

A solid A-rank Shielder, worth owning 1 copy to tank for lifesteal DPS, but not a priority pull if you already have other sustain.

Best Adler build

Role

Support / Shielder (Incantation) — grants a DEF-scaling shield to the whole team plus Karma-type DoT damage; keeps lifesteal DPS like Baicang alive.

Community tier lists (both Western and Japanese) place Adler in the A group — a shielder whose team-wide shields scale off DEF; his value is survivability, not damage.

Best Arcs (ranked)
  1. 1Umbrella BiS Best overall Arc per community meta sources: +10% shield durability when Adler's HP is above 50% — amplifying exactly what he does best, shielding the team.
  2. 2The Fools' Spring Community meta sources rank it 'best overall' for granting DEF% (the shield's scaling stat); 2 sources disagree so both are listed — leaning toward Umbrella for its direct shield effect.
  3. 3A Time Will Come Situational pick leaning CRIT Rate when you want a bit more damage.
Best module sets
  • 4 Kingdom's Guard BIS: [2] +15% DEF (boosts shield ratio), 4-piece raises shield efficiency up to ~72% DEF — matches Adler's DEF-scaling shield kit.
Stat priority

Main stats: DEF% › DEF% (khiên & sát thương đều scale DEF)

Substats: DEF% › CRIT Rate › CRIT DMG › Charge Efficiency

Verdict confidence: medium — role (shield/DEF) and the Kingdom's Guard set agree across sources; the two best-arc sources disagree (Umbrella vs The Fools' Spring), so both are listed.
