Lore
Forsaken Warden with sealed memories. Created by the Ancient Ones, Edith was the Primal Warden that watched over the sealed Evil Gods on the Sanctum Island. Awakened and injured in an earthquake, she lost her memories and was saved by her foster father who made a living by selling scraps and continued to raise her for ten years. When she once again helped her foster father enter the temple to search for scraps, the guardian of the ruins—Elemental Giant Uranus was prepared to destroy the invaders. It was then that Edith remembered everything, but her humanity overpowered her divine nature, and she fought Uranus to protect her foster father. Just then, the Celestial Palace fell and the sealed Evil Gods scattered. Edith parted with her foster father, drove her Mecha, "Phylax" and set out on a journey to hunt down fleeing Evil Gods.

Counter / cooperate relationship
Edith is strong against heroes that are not very agile and on the fragile side, such as Zilong and Aulus, because her skills deal enough burst damage to eliminate them after connecting with her 2nd Skill.
Edith is countered by Marksmen that can negate CC like Hanabi and Wanwan, since she will have a hard time locking them down.
