Skill chaining: Use Assaulting Lance to kill and gain AP, then unleash a second action or Wild Rush to sweep foes.
Buff synergy: Place other cavalry units in his row to benefit from Cavalier Call stacking.
Aerial defense: Equip aerial guard shield or use Quick Guard to neutralize flying threats without wasting turn actions.
Final Thoughts
Adel is a top-tier cavalry support unit, especially during early- to mid-game.
His ability to buff allies, chain attacks, and stun groups via Wild Rush makes him indispensable in cavalry-heavy strategies.
While he doesn’t reach late-game heights, his early accessibility and ease of use make him a consistent asset.
