Edgar - How To Play & Rotations
Basic Combat Strategy
- Switch in when your DPS's HP drops
- Hold "Wild Current" to heal allies
- Deploy a healing area with the Ultimate, then switch out
Switch In When Your DPS's HP Drops
Edgar is a healer who specializes in HP recovery, so he shines when allies need healing after taking hits. Rather than keeping him on the field at all times, swap to him temporarily whenever healing is needed.
Hold "Wild Current" to Heal Allies
By holding Edgar's "Wild Current", you deal damage while healing the ally with the lowest HP. The longer you hold, the more healing he provides, but keep in mind he's defenseless during the cast and the cooldown extends, so use it carefully.
Deploy a Healing Area with the Ultimate, Then Switch Out
Edgar's "Finnegan's Wake" deploys an area that continuously restores HP. The healing area remains on the field even after switching characters, so a powerful tactic is to trigger it, then swap to your DPS to combine attack output with healing.
