Best Emblem set and Spells for Edith in Mobile Legends
Tank Emblem Setup
The Tank emblem is the best emblem for Edith as her main damage comes from her defense due to her Ultimate skill which converts each point of Extra Physical Defense and Extra Magic Defense into 2.5 Magic Power while she is in her Flight State. Use the following Custom Tank Emblem on Edith.
Use talent points on Firmness in Tier 1 which increases Physical Defense by 4/8/12 and on Purity in Tier 2 which increases Magic Defense by 2.5/5/8%. Use Concussive Blast in Tier 3 which deals 125+(+7% HP) AoE Magic Damage after 1s after using a Basic Attack. This has a cooldown of 15 seconds.
Battle Spells
Execute
Deals 100 (+10×Hero Level) plus 13% of enemy’s lost HP True Damage to the designated enemy hero. This damage ignores the shield and its cooldown will be reduced by 40% if the target is slain by this skill. Just as the name suggests it helps in executing low-health enemies.
Flicker
Moves a certain distance in a designated direction. Then gains 6 (+1×Hero Level) Physical and Magic Defense for 1 second. Flicker is an extremely good mobility skill that can be used as an evasive maneuver or can be used offensively to use the Flicker + Skill 2 combo with Edith followed up by Skill 1.
Best Builds for Edith in Mobile Legends
One can try many builds on Edith. All which one needs to do is to just follow the enemy’s pick and then decide the role on the battlefield. We have set out the following template to try out with Edith on the battlefield.
- Start off the match by buying either Warrior boots/Tough Boots to gain early game defense. The Type of Defense will depend on the Enemy line up as well as the opponent currently laning against.
- Players need to buy the core items of the build next which are Thunderbelt and Oracle. Thunderbelt provides 800 HP, +40 Physical Defense, +30 Mana Regen and 10% cooldown reduction. Its unique passive Thunderbolt in 3s after using the skill makes Edith’s next Basic Attack deal True Damage as much as 50 plus 5% of her Extra Max HP to the enemy target and surrounding units and slow them by 40-80% (increases with Edith’s Extra Max HP) for 1s. This effect has a 1.5s cooldown.
- This should be followed by buying Oracle which provides 850 HP, +42 Magic Defense and 10% cooldown reduction. Its unique passive Bless raises shield absorption and HP regen effect by 30%.
- Players when playing Edith as an offlaner can build Calamity Reaper which provides +70 Magic power, +100 Mana, +6 Mana regen, +10% cooldown reduction. Its unique passive Calamity makes Edith’s next basic attack deal additional True Damage as much as 120% of Magic Power with a cooldown of 1.5s in 3s after using the skill. Then briefly gains 10% Movement Speed.
- Players can build the Holy Crystal which provides +100 Magic power and its passive Mystery increases Magic Power by 21-35% scaling with level.
- Divine Glaive can also be bought during the end game of the match when opponents will have some sort magic defence in their build. Divine Glaive has a unique passive Spellbreaker which for every point of enemy’s Magic defense increases magi penetration by 0.1% when dealing damage capped at 20%.
- For the final item players can make either Winter Truncheon or Immortality based on whichever’s passive is available.
Mobile Legends Edith Gameplay Tips
As discussed earlier Edith is the first Tank/Marksman hero. She specializes in crowd control and burst and has obnoxiously strong power as a marksman, as well as continuity as a tank. However, a player must need a good understanding of the map to bring the best out of any hero. According to her gameplay, we can break it down into three phases. Our Mobile Legends Edith guide includes the perfect game plan for the early, mid, and late game.
Early Game
At level 1, unlock Skill 2 if using Edith as a roamer or unlock Skill 1 to go to other off lanes. While laning constantly use Skill 1 and Skill 2 to harass enemies and force them to recall or use their Battle Spells.
Use Skill 2 to engage enemies and follow up with Skill 1 for a chain crowd control.
Mid Game
Have an eye on the map and help your teammates in securing objectives like killing the turtle, stealing enemy buff, or creeps while holding on to your lane. Clear minion waves as fast as possible and rotate to secure objectives.
Late Game
Edith becomes extremely dangerous after just a few items and she in her flight state during her active Ultimate phase hits like a nuke in the face. Her damage is crazy good to the point of almost being broken.
Engage teamfights in Phylax mode using Skill 2. Players can also use Edith’s Ultimate as a blink ability to dodge out danger like Vales Ultimate.
