Cons

Healing will have low value for most players.
Review
Edgar is a Support Cosmos attribute character focused on healing teammates. Unfortunately, he ended up with the shorter end of the stick by existing in a game where dodging and parrying vastly dominate the combat as opposed to healing. Beyond that, since Edgar doesn't offer anything else outside of healing, he easily loses his spot in any team to virtually anyone.
To make matters worse, none of his healings is effective when actually needed. For his skill, he has to hold the button to heal over time, but standing still in the middle of the battlefield and surrounded by very aggressive enemies isn't a good idea… his ultimate fares a bit better, and is the only part of his kit most people will use at all. It creates a domain that heals based on Edgar's Max HP, over the course of 10s. The issue with it, however, is that due to the fact it's a relatively slow and low healing over time, it sometimes won't be enough to save the team during intense fights or if the other characters are already at low health when the ult is used.
For these reasons, the main recommendation we can give for those wanting to play Edgar, is to use his Ultimate early. Don't wait until your character's HP is too low. Keep the healing steady instead. Furthermore, by doing that, you can try to incorporate Edgar's skill and ult into your main DPS's rotation as means of triggering Esper Cycles. Using Edgar with a quick-switch approach ends up helping more with rotations and overall survivability than expecting him to save the day on the brink of death.

Awakening & Calculations
Awakening Review
In NTE, you can freely choose Awakening Effects, so you are not forced to unlock them in a specific order, and you can unselect them at any time.
Awakening order of importance:
A6 > A5 > A3 > A1 > A2 > A4
Edgar's Awakenings are quite simple and with the exception of one, all focus on improving his healing and improving its uptime.
A6 takes the top priority here because it adds a DEF buff to his ult's domain. Aside from helping against enemies who deal burst damage, it's also one of the few buffs currently available in-game who synergize with characters that scale off of DEF, such as Adler. A5 and beyond all focus on improving Edgar's healing and the cycling of his ultimate, with the exception of A4, which increases the damage of his skill. With a low DMG bonus in a character who is already not suited for dealing damage at all, this Awakening buff is nearly useless, with emphasis on nearly, because at least Resonance exists.
While Edgar's first Resonance is a mere increase of ability levels, his second Resonance, unlocked at A6, passively improves Edgar's ultimate until the next cast every time someone in the team takes damage. Ideally you don't want to take damage to begin with, but for anyone playing with characters like Fadia or Baicang, Edgar's presence may be okay if you like him or don't have any other option.
