Best Arc options.
Adler scales mostly with DEF, so we do not have many options for him right now. We are looking for either an Arc that gives defense or an Arc that brings utility to the team.
Main suggestion Umbrella
As of now, this is the best light cone for Adler. He does not deal a lot of DMG, so the main scalable value is his shield. This is the only Arc that scales with DEF and gives a useful buff. However, this is a defensive buff, so once we receive an Arc that can buff teammates, it would be a good upgrade.
