Best Arc options.
Edgar scales with HP and is a sustain-focused character. He needs either a strong HP-scaling Arc or one that can buff teammates. As of now, he has only one HP-scaling A-Rank Arc and no strong support Arcs, so his Arc options are very limited. More Arcs may be added in the future to expand his options and playstyles.
