Edward Elric

***Edward Elric*** is an Alchemy-based melee spellcaster, and a member of the Alchemists Team*.* He can deal high DPS with his combo's, but it somewhat reliant on additional CC to help. In addition, he is great at farming and has good autoattacks.

### Abilities:

**Passive D, Automail Blade:** Edward uses alchemy to transmute his metallic arm into a blade. This boosts his agility by 100, but cost 28 Mana per attack. This ability cannot be cast and must be put on and off of autocast.

**Passive F, Edward's Fighting Style:** Edward was trained by the martial artist Izumi Curtis and as such he is a skilled fighter, having a 10% chance to deal double damage and a 20% chance to avoid attacks. Edward's Automail arm also gives him +50 damage.

**Q, Rock Spikes:** Edward claps his hands and transmutes the ground at the target 250 area of effect into spikes. The spikes deal damage to anyone they touch and stun them for half a second. 800 range, 20 second cooldown. 300/350/400/450/500 dmg.

**W, Transmute Spear:** Edward transmutes a spear into his hands for his next autoattack. This increases the damage of that attack and stuns the target. 12.5 second cooldown. 125/250/375/500/625 damage, 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2 Stun.

**E, Stone Prison:** Edward transmutes a prison of stone walls around the target unit, giving them barely any range to move. These walls can be attacked and destroyed by enemies, and will expire after a few seconds. 1000 cast range, 42 second cooldown.

**R, Avalanche:** Edward transmutes an avalanche of rocks to fall down onto the target 300 AoE. This is a channeled ability that lasts 5 seconds, and each falling rock does damage. The rocks do true damage to everything except respawn points. (Doctor, Secretaries, Houses, Ruins.) 100 second cooldown, 1000 cast range. 20/25/30 damage per rock.

### Tips:

* Edwards main damage combo is E+R.

* While Edwards Autoattack-empowering passives may seem a bit disjointed with the rest of his kit, the bonus armor granted by his Automail blade can save him in a pinch when need be, and the ability is also useful attempting to kill targets if they survive your initial combo, especially when suiciding the Gold-Toothed Doctor.

* Edward combo's well with both his brother Alphonse Elric, and his Father, Hohenheim.

* Edward is one of the two alch's labeled 'easy' in the selection screen, this is a well deserved title as his simple gameplay and good farming makes him a great pick for new players.
* Edward E don't need to always be used with R cause it have a far lower cooldown than the R. So you need to wait to combo R when other allies can stun or when the enemy wasted the skills that let him go out of the prison. Pride Q, Envy W, Wrath W for example. So you can use it just to bait skills or as a CC tool.
* Is important to know that pride can heal a lot of his hp with a Q on your prison, so have careful with that of not use your prison in a low hp pride that can use Q, cause you will be helping him.
* Altough is a risky tactic you can buy the assasin blade in Dublith to combo it with your W to deal extremely high damage critics. Cause it affects the W damage, is not that good but is good enough to atleast be mentioned here.
* The R "Avalanche" being used in a low hp Envy with 0 lifes can finish off the leech really quick before Envy have any time to react. So is strongly recommended reserving it for this situation if Envy is without lifes.
