Edda Pros and Strength

Edda's Character Overview

Powerful Support Abilities like Move UP and NRG Recovery

Edda's RK 3 Skill, [Guiding Gleam], can provide a powerful support effect that boosts the damage, magic defense, and movement of surrounding allies for 3 turns. Additionally, by learning the Rank 11 skill, [Take Arms!], you will gain an exceptional support ability that enhances allies within a 4-square area by restoring NRG.

Change Terrain to Debuff Tile

If you use RK 3 skill [Wine Barrel Casting], it will turn a 3x3 area into a debuff tile. Characters who touch the panel will not only have their magic defense and movement decreased, but their SPD will also drop and their order of action will be delayed. The debuff panel can also be inflicted with Burning by using Fire attacks, so it pairs well with characters who have Fire skills, such as Beryl.

Good Match with Battle Flag of Convallaria

Edda's skill has a long cooldown, so it pairs well with the tactical skill Battle Flag of Convallaria, which can be obtained through the Talent Tree. The Battle Flag of Convallaria has powerful effects, including increasing the attack and defense of nearby allies, as well as providing +1 NRG and reducing Skill cooldown by 1 at the start of action.

Wide Range DMG with Assisting ATK

With Edda's Trait, she performs a follow up attack when an ally attacks an enemy within 5 tiles, making it useful for both supporting and attacking. This effect can be further enhanced with [Take Arms!].

Can Summon Box Items

Has a valuable skill, [Fortification], which summons a Box. While the Box itself has no special effects, it offers a range of strategic options depending on the stage, such as obstructing enemy movement or attacks, or providing a means to climb and activate Highland Advantage. Additionally, you can also take advantage of her passive effect to reduce damage over time when adjacent to an item.

Star Level Up Priority & Recommended Stars for Edda

Aim to Reach 3★ → 5★

Star Level Up Priority	Recommended Star Level
	3★ → 5★

Edda is a strong unit even without star level upgrades. However, if you're investing Memory Shards, aim for 3-stars to increase her support fire uses by one, and 5-stars to extend its activation range. These upgrades make her even more effective as a backline support.

Priority Skills

Skill	Equip Priority and Details
Guiding Gleam	★★★★★ A support skill that applies powerful buffs—such as +30% damage dealt and +1 movement—to a wide area for 3 turns. It also removes Disruption debuffs, which adds even more value. This is a high-priority skill to equip.
Wine Barrel Casting	★★★★★ Changes a wide area into [Liquor] panels with powerful debuff effects of M.DEF DOWN, Move reduction, and SPD DOWN. Unless facing enemies that nullify terrain effects, it is a very effective skill, so prioritize equipping it.
Shelter Advantage	★★★★★ A Reaction that reduces DMG taken by 40% if there is an item within 1 tile. Since many stages have items, you can reduce DMG taken by being aware of Edda's position.
Dispelling Strike	★★★★★ Since it can remove the opponent's buffs, there are plenty of use cases for this attack.
Take Arms!	★★★★ A skill that restores NRG to allies in a wide area while significantly boosting follow-up (Assisting) attacks. At higher star levels, it becomes especially powerful in teams that focus on single-target skills.

Skill	Equip Priority and Details
Fortification	★★★ Activates some of Edda's Skill effects, blocks paths, creates high ground, and enables various tactics. Equip it when there's a clear use case.
Rupture Armor	★★★ It's chance-based so not guaranteed, but it's an that can lower P.DEF. Since it synergizes well with Assisting Attacks, it's worth equipping if you have no other debuffers in your lineup.
Storm Snipping	★★★ Although its NRG cost is high, it has no CD and is a high-damage attack Skill. Edda doesn't often participate in attacks, and NRG tends to be leftover, so when equipping an attack Skill, equip this one.
Shield Break Shot	★ Only equip this if you absolutely want Edda to destroy Shields. However, be aware that attacking with other attackers, or using Piercing DMG or DoT is often more effective.
Shield Break - Enhanced	★ Similar to [Shield Break Shot], only equip this if you absolutely want Edda to destroy Shields.
Counterattack	★ Edda has low HP and should generally avoid attacks as much as possible, so [Shelter Advantage] is always preferable.
Barricade Fight	★ A passive skill that boosts attack power and allows the user to move after attacking. While the effect is strong, keep in mind that Edda is a support-focused character and doesn’t attack frequently, so the benefits may be limited.
Shield-Break Attack	★ Increases attack power against shielded enemies, but if you're specifically targeting shielded units, you'd be better off using [Shield Break Shot]. For that reason, equipping this skill is not recommended.

Recommended Gear, Tarots, & Engravings

Recommended Weapons for Edda

Irian Combat Bow

Meteor Line

Steel Crossbow

The [Irian Combat Bow], which boosts the damage of physical attacks and Assisting Attacks, and the [Meteor Line], which applies a debuff with every single-target attack, are especially recommended.

Recommended Trinkets for Edda

Disaster Bottle

True Lens

Old Scrolls of Auguste

We suggest using Trinkets that boost your team’s support capabilities — or go with the [True Lens], a solid pick for ranged fighters. Pair it with [Fortification] to summon a box that triggers its effect more reliably and get the most out of her kit.

Recommended Tarots for Edda

Destruction of The Tower

Temptation of The Devil

Elegance of the Empress

[The Tower] is especially recommended for greatly enhancing Covering Shot.

Recommended Engravings for Edda

Resonance	Effect
Wand Wand	After using a [basic attack], [skill], [strike back], or [assisting attack], gains 1 random [Level 2 Attribute Buff].
Sword Pentacle	When [unharmed], increases ATK and DEF by 12%.
Wand Cup	At the end of the turn, there is a 50% chance to gain [Engraving Resonance]. Effect: When using an [active skill] next time, refunds the NRG consumed and resets the CD. The skill effect has a CD of 4 turns. (Does not trigger in real-time combat. The effect changes to increasing HP, ATK and DEF by 5%)

Edda's value lies in her ability to apply buffs to your team and debuffs to your enemies, therefore, [Wand + Cup] is highly recommended so that she can have her buffs available more often.
