Edith, the Forsaken Warden, is the game's first and only Marksman-Tank hero. She possesses an exciting set of skills that becomes even deadlier as she enters her ultimate state. Her unique build as a high HP marksman/tank that has a DEF stat scaling ultimate makes her a handy unit during the game, serving both the damage-dealing role and the damage-absorbing role.
Edith is another versatile hero that can accommodate multiple roles and take on different lanes in the game. Her versatility in builds and combos allow her to take on the EXP lane, gold lane, and even the roaming role. This allows Edith to take on the role of a damage dealer and a sustain hero. She is a pretty valuable asset for any team and is an amazing pick during the draft, outclassing even the newly released meta heroes.
