Best Teams
These two teams will be popular ones due to Endmin/Chen being free and Laevatain being one of the first Limited Operators. However, Ardelia can fit into just about any team, these are simply some recommendations. 
Laevatain Laevatain 
Wulfgard Wulfgard 
Akekuri Akekuri 
Ardelia Ardelia Ardelia has good synergy with Laevatain, since it triggers Corrosion when using her Combo Skill, which triggers Laevatain’s Combo Skill for faster resource generation. Being a full Arts Damage team means that Ardelia can make full use of her Signature Engine.

Chen Qianyu Chen Qianyu 
Ember Ember Ardelia Ardelia Ardelia applies both Physical and Arts Susceptibility with her Battle Skill, so even Physical teams can make use out of her. Just keep in mind that Ardelia requires a Final Hit against an enemy with no Vulnerable or Arts Infliction stacks in order to use her Combo Skill, which is really important since it’s the only way to trigger Corrosion.

How to Play
Ardelia provides massive utility for your team, combining healing with damage amplification. Her kit revolves around her Battle Skill, which creates healing zones and synergizes with Corrosion to debuff enemies.
Healing Mechanics
Hitting enemies with her Battle Skill creates healing spots on the field. Walking into these spots heals the controlled operator. If the controlled operator is at full health, the healing is redirected to the teammate with the lowest HP%. Healing scales with Ardelia's Will, so prioritize that stat if you need more survivability.
Corrosion Synergy Loop
Ardelia can significantly boost team damage by consuming Corrosion to apply Physical and Arts Susceptibility. While she works well with other Element-users, she is also self-sufficient.
**Step 1:** Use Ardelia's **Combo Skill**. This requires hitting a Final Strike against an enemy with *no* Vulnerable or Arts Infliction stacks. This applies Corrosion.
**Step 2:** Follow up immediately with her **Battle Skill**.
**Step 3:** The Battle Skill consumes the Corrosion applied by the Combo Skill, triggering the Physical and Arts Susceptibility debuff on the enemy.
Mastering this loop is key to maximizing Ardelia's potential, as it unlocks her powerful damage amplification capabilities while maintaining her healing output.
