Overview

Edward, the Bloodsucking Butler is a seasonal 3★ and the first Light Blade adventurer, debuting on the Halloween Fantasia showcase. Unlike his Shadow version, Halloween Edward is fully offensive. He gains the ability to heal via his Nightmare Waltz skill, an AoE that attacks around Edward and heals based on damage output.

What he gains offensively he loses defensively, as he has the some of the lowest HP compared to other light units. However, he makes it up with his strength, which can be boosted higher with his Full HP = Strength passive. Though it is difficult to maintain full HP, with a healer such as Hildegarde or Verica, Edward should see no problems.

Strengths

Two Attack Skills

Edward’s kit includes two attack skills, giving him higher damage output along with more immunity frames.

Access to Life Leech

Nightmare Waltz lets Edward restore HP by 1% (2% max) of damage inflicted. This attacks all around him, allowing him to heal in bursts against a group of enemies.

Weaknesses

Low HP

Currently the lowest HP of all the Light Adventurers and among the worst overall.

Poor Life Leech

With a moderately slow charge and reliant on multiple enemies to get the most use, this is not a substitute for a healer.

75% Curse Resistance

Without complete curse immunity, Halloween Edward susceptible to being afflicted.

Dragon Recommendations

Cupid

Gilgamesh

Lindworm

Cupid offers a high Strength bonus (40-60%) and access to healing and a Critical Rate boost for all allies.
If Cupid is unavailable, other offensive max Unbound 4★ options may also be used, such as Gilgamesh, Takemikazuchi, or Pop-Star Siren.
Lindworm is an accessible 4★ option that provides a solid 30-45% Strength boost, and is easily unbound with Moonlight Stones via the Void Battles Treasure Trade.
Liger or High Jupiter provides a balanced portion of Strength and HP, at 20-30% each. For players that do not have access to the above Dragons, either of these can serve as a substitute until they can max unbind Lindworm.
Halloween Silke and Hinata are budget choices for Strength boosts, with Halloween Silke being the budget counterpart of Liger/High Jupiter.
