Edwin’s explosives have a 20% chance of stunning the targets for 1.5s.
Gameplay-observed tags
Edwin in Conquest
The successful evidence peaks at stage 34, so the hero is primarily an early-progression or accessibility option in the current dataset.
The current composite ranking weighs stage ceiling, trustworthy lower-power performance, role utility, position versatility, raw stats, and generation ceiling. Edwin is not ranked from raw win rate alone because heroes enter the dataset at different stages and are tested with different frequency.
This page is a projection. It should be revised when direct trusted wins are added.
Edwin in Arena
The Arena rating is preliminary. It combines Conquest evidence, raw stats, generation age, targeting value, and utility such as stun control, area damage, and burst damage.
In Arena, Edwin should be judged by whether the formation can use stun control, area damage, and burst damage before the hero is removed or controlled. Newer-generation raw stats matter more in direct PvP, but specialized older heroes can remain useful three or four generations later when their development and utility still justify the slot.
Best position for Edwin
No trusted positional win is available yet. Based on the kit and class, the starting projection is Back right, followed by matchup testing.
- Recorded winning positions: Front left and Front right.
The starting target map still applies: front left and back left pressure enemy front left, while front right, back middle, and back right pressure enemy front right. Retargeting then follows the closest valid target.
