Fadia
Who is Fadia?
Fadia is a T1 Psyche-attribute hybrid DPS / sustain character — a member of the Bureau of Anomaly Control's ETD-4. She absorbs a percentage of damage taken by her allies and heals herself back up via her Ultimate, then deals significant burst damage in her enhanced Lilith status. Prydwen notes this is "not particularly strong from a sustain perspective" but "her enhanced state after casting her Ultimate deals more damage than other sustain characters." Her damage and all sustain mechanics (HP buff, DMG reduction, self-heal) scale entirely with Max HP — stack HP to maximize every aspect of her kit. She requires Daffodil or a Chaos teammate to unlock her Nova reaction potential.
Kit Summary
Absorbs a percentage of damage taken by allies — soft mitigation rather than hard healing.
Measures HP state; Ultimate performance and burst damage peak when Fadia has been hit and her HP is lower.
After Ultimate, enters enhanced form with significantly increased Mental DMG output.
Psyche attribute + Daffodil (Chaos) triggers Nova for Mental burst damage.
DPS, team HP buff, DMG Reduction, and self-heal all scale with Max HP — build exclusively HP%.
Psyche-type damage, boosted by Nova reaction procs.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
HP-stacking configuration (best-in-slot): 6x Type II modules = 36% HP bonus (Type II module set gives 6% HP per module). Total HP% from modules is massive and directly amplifies every aspect of her kit — damage, sustain, DMG reduction, and team buff. Alternative: Devil's Blood Curse if running in a Nova team — 10% Psyche DMG (2-piece) and up to 36% vs. Stain-affected enemies (4-piece).
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Eternal Waltz (signature Arc): +20–32% Max HP (at A1–A5) and +10–18% Mental DMG for 10s after casting Ultimate. Both stats feed her kit directly — best-in-slot. Budget option: Any HP main stat Arc with Healing Bonus or HP secondary.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Nova sustain team: Fadia + Daffodil + Haniel + Baicang/Aurelia — Nova proc from Psyche + Chaos; Fadia provides damage absorption and self-healing; Haniel buffs ATK.
Discord survivability team: Fadia + Daffodil + Aurelia + Adler — triple-reaction team where Fadia replaces a pure healer and still contributes DPS.
General survivability: Fadia can slot into any team that needs a tanky damage sponge without completely sacrificing damage output.
F2P Verdict
Fadia is a limited S-rank. Her build direction is the simplest in NTE — stack HP% everywhere and let all her mechanics benefit simultaneously. No conditional substat requirements at A0. The Eternal Waltz Signature Arc is the priority pick; if unavailable, any HP Arc works at a slight damage loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Fadia's damage absorption work?
Fadia passively absorbs a percentage of damage that would hit her allies, redirecting it to herself. She then recovers this HP through her Ultimate in Lilith status. This is soft mitigation — it does not prevent damage but reduces how much health her teammates lose per hit, buying time in high-damage fights.
Why does everything scale with HP?
Fadia's kit is designed as a unified HP economy: her Max HP determines her DPS output (Mental DMG scales with HP), her team HP buff (scales with her HP), her DMG Reduction effectiveness, and her self-heal amount. Building HP% is always the correct choice — there are no exceptions for her.
What is the Nova reaction?
Nova triggers when Psyche and Chaos attributes are on the same team. It deals a burst of Mental DMG after a short delay. Fadia (Psyche) + Daffodil (Chaos) form the Nova pair. Fadia's Mental DMG from Lilith status is classified as Nova-type damage, benefiting from reaction amplifiers.
