Short answer: Diggers is a 5-Star, Plant-Afflatus Arcanist who deals Mental damage and works as a Control, Shield, Debuff unit. Like every Arcanist, Diggers hits harder when you respect the Afflatus wheel, so field Diggers where the Plant advantage actually lands.
Afflatus and Matchups
Diggers uses the Plant Afflatus. That means Diggers has the advantage against Mineral units and is at a disadvantage into Beast units. The two element triangles never cross, so plan a small bench around them rather than forcing one team into every stage. The full breakdown lives on the Afflatus system page.
Role and Damage
Diggers deals Mental damage and is built for Control, Shield, Debuff duties. Reality and Mental are the game's two damage types, and matching your carry's damage type to an enemy's weaker defense is a quiet but real power gain. Pair Diggers with teammates that cover the roles Diggers does not.
Building Diggers
Invest in one carry at a time and gear Diggers with the best-fitting Psychube you have before spreading materials thin. As a 5-Star Arcanist, Diggers is summoned from the gacha, so read the pity system before you spend: a 6-star is guaranteed by 70 pulls and the featured Arcanist is guaranteed within two 6-stars.
