11Overview33Edgar is an A-Class Cosmos Esper and a core member of the Eibon Antique Shop crew. He is a blue-haired young man who, despite his baby face, is remarkably mature for his age and carries an old-fashioned way about him. Edgar helps the other characters in every possible way and frequently accompanies the protagonist throughout the adventure. In combathe fills the healer role, providing position-dependent healing to keep the team healthy.55Character Profile88AttributeDetailRarityA-ClassElementCosmosAffiliationEibon Antique ShopCombat RoleHealerDifficulty4 / 5 (High)Arc CompatibilityLiquid1111In-Game Character Tagline1313The in-game character menu introduces Edgar with a single-line tagline: "Eibon Antique Shop Member." The line is intentionally understated next to the longer descriptions other crew members receive, which matches Edgar's quiet, support-focused presence in the shop and reflects how the writing positions him as a steady fixture rather than a personality-led figure.1515Appearance1717Edgar has blue hair and a youthful, baby-faced appearance that belies his maturity. His design gives him a gentle, approachable look that matches his supportive personality. He dresses in a style that leans slightly formal or old-fashioned, setting him apart from the more casual or combat-oriented looks of his Eibon colleagues.1919Personality2121Despite his young appearance, Edgar is described as very mature for his age with an old-fashioned way about him. He is the kind of person who helps everyone around him in whatever way he can, taking on a quietly supportive role within the Eibon crew. His maturity manifests in how he approaches problems: thoughtfully, patiently, and with a genuine desire to be useful.2323Edgar frequently accompanies the protagonist throughout the adventure, making him one of the most consistently present characters in the story. His role as a constant companion gives players more exposure to his personality than many other roster members, and his steady demeanor provides a grounding presence amid the chaos of anomaly investigations.2525Despite his youthful baby face, Edgar is one of the most mature and dependable members of the Eibon Antique Shop crew. He approaches every situation with a calm, methodical demeanor that belies his age. The other crew members rely on him not just for healing in combat, but for his steady presence and practical problem-solving in everyday situations. Edgar's old-fashioned sensibility, from his polite manner of speech to his habit of looking after others before himself, makes him the emotional anchor of the group.2727Role at Eibon Antique Shop2929Edgar works alongside HotoriAdlerDaffodilNanallySakiriand the protagonist (Zero) at the Eibon Antique Shopwhich sustains itself by taking on anomaly commissions from the public.3131Edgar should not be confused with Adlerthe other A-Class Eibon member. Adler (full name Alois V Adler) is the butler who never opens his eyes, wields a cane sword in combatand prepares lovingly made meals for the crew. Edgar, by contrast, is the blue-haired young man who is mature beyond his years and is the protagonist's most frequent companion. The two fill different roles both in the shop and in combat: Adler handles cooking and domestic duties while Edgar focuses on support and accompaniment.3333Combat3535Edgar fills the healer role in combat. His healing abilities are position-dependent, meaning the effectiveness and targeting of his heals changes based on where he and his teammates are standing relative to enemies. This positioning requirement gives Edgar a higher skill floor than most healers, as players need to manage spatial awareness alongside the normal demands of combat.3737RatingScoreBoss Encounters2 / 5Mob Clearing3 / 5Difficulty to Play4 / 54040Edgar's positioning dependency is both his greatest strength and his primary limitation. When positioned correctly, his heals are effective and keep the team in fighting shape. When team setups force awkward positioning, however, his healing output can fall off. This makes him more situational than self-sufficient healers like Jiuyuanwho can heal herself independently regardless of position.4141Esper Cycle Reactions4343As a Cosmos element character, Edgar triggers two duo reactions in the Esper Cycle4545ReactionPartner ElementEffectBlossomAnimaSpawns a peashooter that attacks targets, dealing area damage. Adds passive damage while Edgar focuses on healing.RemoraLakshanaSlows enemy movement and attack speed. Provides crowd control that complements Edgar's positioning-dependent heals.4747Pairing Edgar with Anima characters like Jiuyuan or Nanally triggers Blossom for supplemental damage. Alternatively, pairing him with Lakshana characters like Hathor or Skia triggers Remora, slowing enemies and making it easier to maintain optimal positioning for his heals.4848Healing Field Mechanics5050Edgar's primary healing tool is a positional healing field that he deploys during combat. Unlike Fadia's more straightforward team-wide healing, Edgar's field requires teammates to position themselves within its area of effect to receive healing. This positional requirement adds a tactical layer to team play, as the active character needs to stay inside the field's boundaries while still engaging enemies.5252The healing field has a fixed duration and provides consistent ticks of Cosmos-element healing to any ally standing within it. In practice, this works best in encounters where the boss has predictable attack patterns that allow melee characters to stay in one area. For more mobile fights where players need to dodge frequently, the field's stationary nature becomes a limitation, since characters may move outside its range during evasion sequences.5454Edgar functions as an excellent secondary healer alongside Fadia. In compositions that need survival but also want to avoid dedicating two full slots to healing, Edgar provides enough sustain to keep the team healthy while contributing Cosmos element damage for elemental reactions. His A-Class rarity also makes him significantly cheaper to upgrade than Fadia, giving budget-conscious players a reliable healing option.5656Team Building5858Edgar is a situational healer best suited to teams that can afford to build around his positioning needs. He is not recommended as a first-priority investment for new players, as his high difficulty and positional requirements make him harder to use effectively than other healing options.6060TeammateSynergyBest with Lakshana partnersThe Remora reaction slows enemies, which directly helps Edgar maintain the positioning his heals require.Paired withJiuyuanIf the team already has Jiuyuan for primary self-healing, Edgar can serve as secondary healing support while triggering Blossom for added damage.Avoid in high-mobility fightsBoss encounters that force constant repositioning undercut Edgar's effectiveness. His boss rating of 2/5 reflects this weakness.Strong in mob contentAgainst groups of enemies that stay relatively stationary, Edgar's positioning heals are easier to optimize.6262Edgar is a strong secondary healer option alongside Fadia. While Fadia remains the only dedicated full healer in the launch roster, Edgar's position-based healing field complements her kit rather than competing with it. In compositions where Fadia is not available or when a team needs supplemental healing without committing a second S-Class slot, Edgar fills the gap efficiently. His Cosmos element also opens up Blossom reactions when paired with Anima characters, adding utility beyond pure healing.6363Gacha Availability6565As an A-Class character, Edgar is obtainable from any banner on the Scarborough Fair board. A-Class characters are guaranteed every 10 pulls, making Edgar relatively accessible compared to S-Class units. He can also appear from A-Class Card tiles on the board.6767Trivia6969Edgar's baby face and mature personality create a deliberate contrast that makes him one of the more distinctive A-Class characters in terms of writing.He is the character who accompanies the protagonist most frequently in the story, giving players extended exposure to his dialogue and personality.His old-fashioned way of speaking and behaving sets him apart from the more modern, streetwear-influenced aesthetics of many other Eibon crew members.Edgar and Adler are both A-Class Eibon members but fill completely different roles: Edgar heals in combat while Adler provides shielding and melee damage with his cane sword.7171Charge Trio Interaction7373Edgar's most distinctive non-healing effect is how he changes the Charge trio reaction. Charge normally drip-feeds a small chunk of Ultimate energy to the active character every two seconds while a Blossom projectile hits a Remora-marked target. Edgar's passive replaces that drip with an instant Ultimate fill: the first Charge proc within the team, while Edgar is in the squad, fills the active character's Ultimate gauge in a single tick instead of trickling it in over the duration of the reaction.7575The instant fill is on a 30 second internal cooldown. After the first Charge proc fires through Edgar's passive and refunds the active character's Ultimate, subsequent Charge ticks within that 30 second window revert to the standard drip behavior. This is the trade-off the passive explicitly makes: a player who can reliably set up a Charge proc on a 30 second cycle gets full Ultimate uptime on that schedule, while a team that triggers Charge constantly does not benefit from the passive past the first instant fill in each window.7777Team Building Implications7979Best on teams that rarely trigger Charge. The instant fill replaces lost drip energy, so it shines when Charge is the back-up reaction rather than the main loop.Less valuable on dedicated Charge teams. If the team already chains Charge procs every few seconds, the drip-fed energy adds up to more total Ultimate energy than the passive's single instant fill on each 30 second window.Pairs naturally with Cosmos and Anima carries who use Ultimate as their primary damage source. The instant fill is most felt when the Ultimate it refunds is large.8181Base Stats Reference8383Quick numerical reference compiled from the in-game character profile.

The Critical Riposte block is captioned with the line "Edgar believes there must be a more humane way to contain them. Until that solution is found, he is forced to rely on rougher methods," which sets up his preference for non-lethal resolution against the kit's emphasis on backpack swings and labyrinthine domains.142142The Wild Current skill is captioned with "Healing is important work. Edgar realized that the rules he learned from games apply in real life as well," extending coded thinking the character is described with elsewhere into his approach to actual triage. The Finnegan's Wake ultimate is captioned with "Always curious, always questioning. Edgar often slips into deep thought without warning. Pulling him out of his complex musings is no easy task," which lines up with the labyrinthine domain effect the ultimate generates and with his bookish, easily distracted personality.144144Compatible Arcs146146Edgar has 8 Arcs flagged as a thematic match by the in-game character recommendation panel.
