EdithBuild and Guide

Edith is a DEX Striker Fairy Soul who primarily relies on various self-stacks and damage in her skillset to shine. She received a balance patch on 23/Jan/2025, significantly buffing her. Let's take a look at her skills first:

• Passive - Riposte: What makes Edith a monster, every 10 seconds whenever she takes any damage, she increases her Physical/Magic Resistance by 50%, gains a 180% Attack Shield, decreases their ATK by 20% for 8 sec each and hits enemies within 3m of her with a Counter. A massive self defensive buff that enhances her survivability to absurd levels. 

• Ultimate - Attaque au fer: A single target skill aimed at the nearest enemy that can do 400-1800% damage, restore 5000 mana and a guaranteed Critical Hit depending on buff count she has. A skill that can even kill HP sponge tanks in one go at max ramp up.

• Main - Moulinet: Similar to her Ultimate but in a Small AoE Range around the nearest enemy with damage ranging from 280-840%, 3 second Stun, 2000 Mana recover, 2-4 buff dispel and a guaranteed Critical Hit depending on buff count she has. Another extremely hard hitting skill that can one shot most units and even strip the likes of Daphne from her immortality.

• Sub 1 - Remise: A single target skill aimed at the nearest target dealing additional damage & reducing enemy Speed by 20% for 12 sec if she has a Speed buff . 

• Sub 2 - Fente: Another nearest enemy single target skill that is guaranteed Critical Hit, if she has an Attack buff. If she has a Def/Resistance buff, it further deals additional damage, ignores their Defense for the attack and reduces their defense by 25% for 12 sec.

• Artifact – Balisarda: A simple artifact that increases her Attack by 6-24% permanently. Furthermore, increases her Attack by 6-24% and Speed by 25-40% additionally when Riposte is activated for 15 seconds, thus can have a permanent uptime.

Kill, Kill, Kill would be the perfect summary to emphasize Edith's role. With 23/Jan/2025 balance patch she is a killing machine second to none, each of her skills hit extremely hard when ramped up, have multiple secondary effects which increase her (and at times, entire teams) DPS significantly.

Despite being a frontline soul with Dex attribute, she is anything but squishy due to absurd buffs Riposte provides here that can be maintained for most of the battle duration. The significant Mana refunds on her Ultimate/Main, paired with her Artifact Speed buff make Edith rotations insanely fast making quick work of most PVE content and score high in raids.

Only condition players need to fulfill to make Edith a killing machine is ensure she has 7 buffs (anything that is marked as blue status in-game regardless of whether it buffs or not) while using her Main/Ultimate for maximum gains, which is easy to do so as Edith can get 5 of the 7 buffs required all by herself, including an Attack and Speed buff via her Artifact to unlock additional effect on some of her skills (and if she has a treasure effect in raids, that’s guaranteed 6).

Investment

Investment wise, she has a large appetite being primarily a DPS character.                    

• New Players/F2P/Casual Players: Extremely worthy, in fact she is now the premier choice of carry newbies should aim for in absence of Chaotic Banners, over Aki. Not only is she usable in Raids at a high level compared to Aki, she also is less dependent on Artifact investment unlike Aki. Origin ascension and Leg+ Artifact is ample.

• Dolphins/Competitive Raid Players/Whales/Rankers: A great investment even for most Raids, Edith was always dominating in Rudra, and with the new balance patch, it is gonna boost her further. Not only that, Edith ST damage allows her to squeeze into Top 3 teams for most Guild Raids. Origin Artifact is a welcome addition.

Team Composition and Synergies

Eve has a new best friend and it’s Edith, Eve boosts the already insane Edith to new heights by making her more tank and increasing her DPS significantly and reaching the 7 buff count easily. Beyond that she works well with any of the prominent buffers such as Yuria, Beleth, Wheri etc with more buffs the better. Just ensure a team composition that gives her some buffs for maximum kit utility and destruction.

Conclusion

As discussed earlier, Edith is a monster in present meta, shining in no matter what the content and requires some of the lowest investment to get going and decimate PvE (A level 81 Epic Edith can single handedly wipe out BF 8-35). A great investment for all, be it newbies or seasoned veterans. Her Artifact works extremely well at Leg+ but offers a decent return when enhanced to Origin. Oh and her Bond Story skin is hot!

If starting anew, make sure to prioritize her over anyone else in Pick-Up Recruitment. However, you should prioritize spending everstones DPS Chaotic Souls during their banner run/re-run instead due to their exclusivity.
