  • Ardelia Overview

Ardelia is a Nature Support Operator who specializes in healing and damage amplification. Her kit focuses on applying Corrosion through her Combo Skill and consuming it with her Battle Skill to apply a long-lasting Physical and Elemental Susceptibility debuff. She performs best in teams that want both strong sustain and burst damage windows, allowing allies to fully capitalize on her 30-second amplification effect.

Ardelia Skill Priority

SkillPriorityReason

Rocky Whispers

(Basic Attack)

Ardelia is not a damage dealer, and her Basic Attacks contribute little to her sustain or amplification role. This can remain at base level.

Dolly Rush

(Battle Skill)

★★★★Ardelia’s most important skill. Consumes Corrosion to apply a powerful Physical and Elemental Susceptibility debuff while triggering additional healing effects through her talents. Leveling this increases her healing value and team damage amplification.

Eruption Column

(Combo Skill)

★★★Provides additional healing through passive ship generation and some damage. While useful for sustain, it is less impactful than her Battle Skill and Combo Skill.

Wooly Party

(Ultimate)

★★Provides additional healing through passive ship generation and some damage. While useful for sustain, it is less impactful than her Battle Skill and Combo Skill.

Ardelia Best Weapons and Essence Priority

Ardelia is a Nature Support Operator who scales primarily with Will, as it directly increases her healing output, with Intellect being secondary. Weapons that increase Will, Healing Efficiency, or team damage amplification pair best with her role. Her signature weapon, Dreams of the Starry Beach, is her best-in-slot option, providing healing bonuses and additional damage amplification when she consumes Corrosion with her Battle Skill. Other Willpower-focused weapons can work as alternatives for Endmins who do not have access to her signature weapon.

Ardelia Best Gear Set

For Ardelia, in the early game she can use gear that provides Will and Healing Bonus to strengthen her sustain. In the late game, the Eternal Xiranite set is her best option, as it increases HP and grants a team-wide DMG Dealt boost after she applies Susceptibility with her Battle Skill. If Eternal Xiranite is already used by another teammate, a healing-focused set like Link is a solid alternative to further improve her sustain and provide additional defensive utility.

Ardelia Best Teams

Ardelia works best in teams that benefit from long-duration damage amp and strong sustain. She pairs well with DPS who can capitalize on her Physical and Elemental Susceptibility. Ardelia prefers structured teams that can reliably trigger Corrosion before detonating it with her Battle Skill, allowing allies to fully take advantage of her 30-second damage amplification effect.

Ardelia Best Potentials

P1 - Dolly Paradise
  • Rating - ★★★★ (Very Good)
  • Potential Effect - Battle skill Dolly Rush improved: Consuming Corrosion now applies Physical Susceptibility and Arts Susceptibility with effects +8%.
  • Reason - This directly strengthens Ardelia’s core role as a damage amplifier. Since Susceptibility is her main contribution to team DPS, this is her most valuable and impactful potential by far.
P2 - Game Rewards
  • Rating - ★★ (Low)
  • Potential Effect - Talent Friendly Presence improved: When the controlled operator touches the Shadow of Mr. Dolly, Ardelia also treats another allied operator with the lowest percentage HP with half of the treatment effects.
  • Reason - Purely a healing increase. While useful for sustain, healing is rarely the limiting factor in optimized teams, making this a low-impact upgrade compared to damage amplification.
P3 - Explosive Eruption
  • Rating - ★★ (Low)
  • Potential Effect - Ultimate Wooly Party improved: Duration +1s; chance to create Shadow of Mr. Dolly is increased to 1.2 times the original.
  • Reason - Improves healing consistency and hit count slightly, but does not meaningfully increase team damage. Limited value outside heavy sustain scenarios.
P4 - Rock Blossom
  • Rating - ★★ (Low)
  • Potential Effect - Ultimate Wooly Party improved: Ultimate Energy cost -15%.
  • Reason - Increases sustain duration and can improve consistency in longer fights, but again mainly affects healing rather than damage output.
P5 - Volcanic Steam
  • Rating - ★★★★ (Very Good)
  • Potential Effect - Combo skill Eruption Column improved: Length of cooldown -2s; DMG multiplier is increased to 1.2 times the original; duration of Corrosion applied +4s.
  • Reason - Improves Corrosion duration, which indirectly improves Susceptibility consistency. While not as strong as P1, this is her second most valuable potential because it supports her damage amp.

Conclusion

Ardelia is a Nature Support Operator who excels at sustain and long-duration damage amplification through Corrosion and Susceptibility. Endmins who want stronger team DPS and reliable healing will get the most value out of her.
