Kind of? The spark damage buff is the only thing in common. Lasswell is a double-attack nuker who also buffs Water types in the party, which is great for mono-water, but doesn't do much for utility. Adel has much, much less damage, but provides quite a few useful buffs. So he might not have nearly the damage output that Lasswell does, but in most content he'll probably be more useful. There's better spark damage buffers, but any buff is better than no buff. Overall, you're probably better off comparing him to other mitigators, since that is his primary role. For example, compared to Krantz and Stein, he lacks a burst heal, but his heal-on-spark and HoT are often harder to find. He does have status-down negation on his SBB, and an SP option for ailment negation, but no actual cleanse. Like them, he has heal-on-hit as an SP option. Perhaps one of the best features is that his 2-turn mitigation option only costs 10 SP.

Anyway, I think he's a solid mitigator - and I do need more HoT options. The spark damage is just a bit of icing that allows me to do without another spark buffer if need be (though you'll want to be sure to get your BC-on-spark buff from somewhere - Sirius or Feeva, for instance). Protip: if you do put another spark damage buffer on your team, like Hugh or Rigel, be sure to have that one go AFTER Adel every turn. It's the last buff that counts when it comes to sparks.
