Teadon Pros and Strength

Teadon's Character Overview

Unique Ascension Skill

With Teadon's Unique Ascension Skill, he can deal Piercing DMG equal to a certain value of his Physical Shield, increase the number of times [Alert] can be activated, and gain an effect that prevents [Alert] from being interrupted. Not only does this significantly increase Teadon's offensive performance, but he can also be expected to excel in stages where Piercing DMG is relevant.

Shield and CC Tank

Most Defenders provide team survivability by taking attacks in place of allies, sacrificing a portion of their HP pool. Teadon provides team survivability by providing Shields and stunning or disabling enemies. This means that Teadon will usually have high to full HP. With a high current HP pool, Teadon is additionally protected against effects and stage mutations that grant advantages when attacking targets with low HP.

Passive Alert

At the end of every turn, Teadon's Trait will automatically trigger an Alert stance for Teadon. The range is only the first three horizontal tiles in front of him, but it makes for an effective deterrent against opposing melee attackers.

Guardian's Will is Recommended

Guardian's Will is a weapon that increases DEF and decreases DMG taken when the wearer has a shield. Because Teadon is so adept at generating Shields, the bonus effects of this weapon will generally have a 100% uptime.

Star Level Up Priority & Recommended Stars for Teadon

Aim to Reach 3★ → 5★

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

Teadon’s star levels increase his end-of-turn [Alert] effect and boost his attack when triggering [Alert] skills. His playstyle doesn't change much, so he's a lower upgrade priority. However, if you want to improve his damage output, aim for 3-stars or 5-stars.

Best Builds for Teadon

Recommended Build

Basic Attack								Reaction								Ascension
Powerful Attack								Thick Shield								Shield of Iron Law
Skill
Hit-and-Run Tactics								Shield of Sanction								Impregnable Shield
Weapon								Trinket								Tarot
Newborn Blade								Shield of Justice								Temptation of The Devil

This is a general use build that balances offense and defense for use in most stages. Since Teadon doesn't have skills to protect his allies, focus on using [Impregnable Shield] while aggressively aiming to deal damage using Teadon's [Alert].

Recommended Gear, Tarots, & Engravings

Recommended Weapons for Teadon

Guardian's Will

Newborn Blade

Dawnmoon

[Guardian's Will] is the most recommended, since it enhances Teadon's ability to generate shields. The [Newborn Blade] is a viable alternative that helps Teadon deal slightly more damage.

Recommended Trinkets for Teadon

Shield of Justice

Hunter's Intuition

Luxite Greatshield

A Trinket that increases durability or [Hunter's Intuition], which enhances [Alert], is recommended.

Recommended Tarots for Teadon

Silence of The Hermit

Destruction of The Tower

Temptation of The Devil

If you want to improve survivability, [The Hermit] is recommended; if you're aiming to boost offensive performance, go with [The Tower].

Recommended Engravings for Teadon

Resonance	Effect
Pentacle Pentacle	When [Injured], increases DMG by 5% and decreases the DMG taken by 5%. When [Dying], increases DMG by an additional 10% and decreases the DMG taken by an additional 10%.
Wand Pentacle	Decreases physical DMG taken by 15%.
Wand Wand	After using a [basic attack], [skill], [strike back], or [assisting attack], gains 1 random [Level 2 Attribute Buff].

[Pentacle + Pentacle] will generally be the best engravings for Defender characters, such as Teadon because of how much they enhace the durability of the character. Alternatively, [Wand + Pentacle] is a viable option since a majority of the enemies in game deal physical damage.
