Edgar Best Guide: Skills, Teams & Equipment | NTE: Neverness to Everness

"Are you in a quagmire? Let me assist you."

Waaah— a little blue-haired boy! And a healer support?! What an absolute angel sent from above～🍼💙

How could I not take this adorable baby home with me! Sure, he's an A-Rank character, but he's such a versatile little sweetheart—ready to go wherever he's needed, fitting into tons of teams～

Today, LDShop has got you a complete Edgar Build Guide that'll guarantee he becomes the cutest (and most useful) little star on your team!

 

Edgar Overview

Rarity: A-Rank | Element: Cosmos | Role: survival | Arc: Liquid

Edgar is a Cosmos-element healer support whose core mechanic is using his skills and ultimate domain to heal teammates. As far as healers go, Edgar's skills mainly just heal—no extra buffs or utility. That makes him a pretty solid all-purpose, "jack-of-all-trades" kind of unit.

However, that also means Edgar isn't a must-pick for any specific team. Once a dedicated support for a particular team archetype drops, he's likely to get replaced.

But let's be real—versatile characters like Edgar are often the key for new players in the early game. So, let's take a closer look at his skills~

 

Edgar Skills

Skill Upgrade Priority:

Wild Current (Skill) > Finnegan's Wake (Ultimate) > Weight of Knowledge (Support) > Basic Attack

Prioritize upgrading his skill first, as it's his core means of continuously healing teammates. Upgrade his ultimate second, as it provides team-wide sustain within its domain. The support skill's main function is to stack his passive and extend the ultimate duration—upgrade it when you have spare resources. His basic attack has no supportive value at all, so leave it for last.

Basic Attack - Combat Practice

Combat Practice	Applies what he learned in Lamplight Academy's physical education class to perform up to 5 consecutive attacks that deal Cosmos DMG.
Calculated Landing	Press Basic Attack while airborne to plunge, dealing 1 instance of Cosmos DMG to an area upon impact. Increases DMG based on fall height, up to 200%.
Critical Riposte: Crisis is Opportunity	Triggers when using Combat Practice after a Critical Dodge. Charges toward the target and uses his backpack to unleash a Flow attack, dealing 1 instance of Cosmos DMG to an area and reducing Break.

 

Skill - Wild Current

Hold to enter a channeling state, continuously casting Current at the target, dealing Cosmos DMG and continuously healing the teammate with the lowest HP.

The CD of Redirect Skill: Wild Current increases based on the duration of use.

 

Ultimate - Finnegan's Wake

Immerses in his own thoughts, unleashing a labyrinthine domain for 10s. Deals 1 instance of AoE Cosmos DMG. Heals the current character over the domain's duration.

 

Support Skill - Weight of Knowledge

This bag is really heavy. Edgar charges toward the target and swings his bag with all his might, dealing 1 instance of Cosmos DMG to an area.

 

Passive

Gentle Edge	Charge Enhancement: Grants 120 Ultimate Energy instantly when a character triggers Charge using a Support Skill. Disables Ultimate Energy gain from Lebenblumes when hitting Slowed targets afterward. Cooldown: 30s
Unchanging Warmth	Cast Redirect Skill Wild Current or Support Skill Weight of Knowledge to gain a Key of Truth, up to 3 keys. Each Key of Truth extends the duration of Ultimate: Finnegan's Vigil by 1s.

 

LIFE SKILL - KNOWLEDGE IN ACTION

Lvl. 1 - Edgar increases traffic by 18. Lvl. 2 - Edgar reduces ingredient consumption rate by 1%. Lvl. 3 - In Owner's Selection, customers are more likely to choose the highest-priced dishes. Lvl. 4 - Edgar reduces ingredient consumption rate by 1%. Lvl. 5 - Edgar increases traffic by 27.

 

Edgar Awakening

Anomaly-Loving Observer Awakening 1	Grants Edgar 1 Key of Truth whenever any teammate casts a Support Skill.
Intern Anomaly Hunter Awakening 2	Caps the max cooldown extension from Wild Current at 9s.
One of the Eibon Detectives Awakening 3	Increases Wild Current's healing effectiveness for allies with current HP below 80% by 15%.
Skilled Strategist Awakening 4	Wild Current DMG +50%.
Guardian of the Antique Shop's Light Awakening 5	Edgar's Max HP +20%.
Visitor from Planet Curiosity Awakening 6	Grants 15% DEF to all allies in the range of Finnegan's Wake.

A3 ≥ A1 > A6 > A5 >> A2 > A4

• A3 / A1 – Highest Priority

A3 increases healing effectiveness by 15% for allies below 80% HP — a direct boost to his core role. A1 grants a Key of Truth whenever any teammate uses a Support Skill, greatly improving his ultimate uptime and team survivability.

• A5 – Second Priority

+20% Max HP — improves Edgar's own survivability so he can stay on the field and keep healing.

• A6 – Third Priority

Grants 15% DEF to all allies inside Finnegan's Wake — a nice team-wide defensive bonus, but not game-changing.

• A2 – Fourth Priority

Caps the cooldown extension from Wild Current at 9s — very little practical benefit for healing or support.

• A4 – Lowest Priority

Wild Current DMG +50% — Edgar is a healer, not a damage dealer. Leave this for last.

 

Resonance Effects

R1 Pursuit of Knowledge 3-Awakening Bonus	Increases the skill level of Wild Current, Finnegan's Wake, and Weight of Knowledge by 1.
R2 Keen Insight 6-Awakening Bonus	Edgar's thoughts are stirred by his allies' safety. Converts 3% of any teammate's Max HP lost into 1 Charge for Finnegan's Vigil, up to 20 Charges. Resets after casting Finnegan's Vigil.

EdgarTeams

Edgar is actually suitable for any team that lacks healing and needs sustainability. Here are a few examples:

New Player Survival Team

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Support	Support
Nanally	Adler	Edgar	Zero

Nanally: Automatic follow-up attacks + high burst damage — core DPS

Adler: Team-wide shields + DoT damage

Edgar: Field healing

Zero: Energy regen + supplemental damage

• Best for: Early game progression, unfamiliar with boss mechanics, general questing
• Downside: Damage isn't top-tier; slower against high-difficulty bosses

 

Double SustainTeam

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Support	Support
Baicang	Jiuyuan	Fadia	Edgar

Baicang: Extremely high single-target burst (squishy + high skill ceiling)

Jiuyuan: Ranged damage + off-healer

Fadia: Shields + healing (only pure healer in the game)

• Best for: Boss fights, players willing to manual Baicang
• Downside: Weak mob clearing; double healers take up a DPS slot

 

AOE Mob Daily Clearing Team

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Support	Support
Sakiri	Hathor	Skia	Edgar

Sakiri: Summons + enemy grouping + extremely high AOE damage

Hathor: Energy regen + AOE follow-up damage

• Best for: Daily material farming, map exploration, clearing mob packs
• Downside: Struggles against single-target bosses (Sakiri's weak point)
