Adler Build & Tier Rating

Adler is a B Tier A-Rank Incantation/Synthesis Esper whose main job is survival / shield / dot. Free story-unlocked defensive unit. Provides shields and minor DoT damage. Great budget survival option for new players. They work best as a budget or bridge option while you save materials for stronger long-term carries.

The rating is based on practical account value rather than raw damage alone: role compression, team fit, element coverage, and how expensive the character is to make useful. For Adler, the standout points are free from story, reliable shields, minor dot contribution, easy to max potential, good stepping stone unit. Their free-to-play access makes that value easier to recommend for newer accounts.

In combat, Adler plays as a survival option with Incantation element coverage and Synthesis arc typing. Incantation/Synthesis-based shields with DoT side effects. Skill applies a shield and deals minor Incantation DoT. Ultimate refreshes shields and amplifies DoT damage. This makes them easiest to justify when your team already supports that damage type or needs the utility attached to their kit.

Recommended teammates are Baicang, Sakiri and Mint. If you do not own those exact characters, look for replacements that preserve the same jobs: a stable damage source, a way to amplify Incantation output, and enough survival or control to keep rotations consistent. For ready-made examples, compare the best NTE teams.

Start with HP% / DEF% / DEF%. HP% / DEF% / DEF%. Stack defensive stats for stronger shields. 4-piece Synthesis set. Do not over-farm perfect substats before your core team has usable gear; a stable baseline build usually gives more account progress than chasing one ideal piece.

Prioritize Adler when your account needs a survival or when Incantation coverage unlocks a better team shell. Based on vote trends, community sentiment is fairly balanced. Use that as a signal to test the character against your own roster instead of treating any tier placement as permanent.
