Edith is a Legendary Infantry hero in Whiteout Survival who fights alongside her mechanical protector, Mr. Tin. Her kit focuses on frontline durability, area control, damage reduction, troop Health, and defensive formation support.
She is especially useful for players who need a durable Infantry hero for Exploration, Arena, city defense, garrisons, and large-scale PvP. This Whiteout Survival Edith guide covers her stats, skills, shard requirements, exclusive gear, upgrade priorities, and best uses.
Edith Overview
Edith is a Generation 7 Legendary Infantry hero with the Combat subclass. In battle, Mr. Tin serves as the active frontline unit while Edith provides mechanical support.
| Detail | Edith Information |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Legendary |
| Class | Infantry |
| Subclass | Combat |
| Hero Generation | Generation 7 |
| Main Role | Frontline tank and defensive troop support |
| Best Modes | Exploration, Arena, city defense, garrisons, and PvP |
| Exclusive Gear | Charm Toolkit |
| Main Strengths | Stun, damage reduction, troop Health, and Defender Health |
| Main Weakness | Mainly defensive and requires substantial shard investment |
Edith’s kit is built around keeping the formation alive. In Exploration, Mr. Tin can stun enemies, increase his own Attack, reduce incoming damage, and trigger a final explosion when defeated.
In Expedition, Edith improves multiple parts of the troop formation. She reduces damage taken by Infantry and Marksmen, increases damage dealt by Lancers, and raises the Health of all troops.
Her exclusive gear strengthens this defensive role further by healing Mr. Tin during battle and increasing Defender Troop Health.
Generation 7 heroes generally begin appearing when a state is approximately 440 days old. Exact timing can vary depending on the state’s progression and event schedule.
Edith Stats
Edith has high Exploration Defense and Health, making her well suited to a frontline position. Her Expedition stats provide equal Infantry Attack and Defense bonuses.
Exploration Stats
| Stat | Maximum Value |
| Attack | 5,466 |
| Defense | 7,126 |
| Health | 106,892 |
Health is Edith’s strongest Exploration stat. Combined with her high Defense, this allows Mr. Tin to absorb pressure while more vulnerable Lancer and Marksman heroes attack from safer positions.
Her Attack is lower than that of dedicated damage heroes, but Ironclad Punch temporarily provides a large Attack increase. Escape Capsule also gives her an additional source of area damage when Mr. Tin reaches zero Health.
Expedition Stats
| Stat | Maximum Value |
| Infantry Attack | 650.52% |
| Infantry Defense | 650.52% |
Edith’s balanced Expedition stats improve both the damage and durability of her Infantry troops.
Her skills lean heavily toward protection. Ironclad reduces damage taken by Infantry, while Steel Sentinel increases Health for the entire formation. These effects make Edith especially valuable in battles where troop survival matters.
How to Unlock Edith in Whiteout Survival
Edith becomes available during the Generation 7 hero period. The exact time she appears depends on the age and content schedule of the state.
Players can obtain Edith shards through:
- Hall of Chiefs
- King of Icefield
- State of Power
- Daily Deals
- Hero Rally
- Mythic General Hero Shards after unlocking her
- Additional limited events when available
Edith is not a Lucky Wheel hero. This can make her more difficult to develop than heroes whose shards can be obtained consistently with saved Gems.
Preparing Resources for Edith
Players planning to build Edith should begin preparing before Generation 7 arrives.
Useful resources to save include:
- Mythic General Hero Shards
- Hero XP
- Skill Manuals
- Infantry Hero Gear
- Essence Stones
- Exclusive Gear materials
- Charm Toolkit Widgets
- Resources needed for hero shard events
Unlocking Edith alone may not be enough to replace a developed Infantry hero. A high-star Wu Ming, Hector, Ahmose, or Flint may remain stronger until Edith receives enough stars, skills, and gear.
Choose a realistic star target before using general shards. This helps prevent valuable resources from being trapped in a hero who cannot yet enter the main formation.
Edith Shard Requirements
Edith requires an increasing number of shards as she progresses through each star level.
| Star Progression | Total Shards Required for the Stage |
| First star stage | 10 |
| Second star stage | 40 |
| Third star stage | 115 |
| Fourth star stage | 300 |
| Fifth star stage | 600 |
Each full star contains six smaller tiers. Players must complete every tier before reaching the next full star.
A total of 1,065 shards is required to complete all five star stages.
Recommended Edith Star Targets
| Star Target | Recommendation |
| Unlock only | Suitable for collection or limited testing |
| 2 stars | Usually too weak for a developed main formation |
| 3 stars | Usable in secondary formations |
| 4 stars | Strong target for regular frontline use |
| 5 stars | Maximum Generation 7 performance |
For most players, 4 stars is a practical target when Edith will become the main Infantry hero. This provides much stronger stats and makes her defensive skills more useful in competitive battles.
A 5-star Edith offers maximum performance but requires a substantial number of additional shards. Players should consider the arrival of future Infantry heroes before using all available general shards.
Edith Exploration Skills
Edith has three Exploration skills. They focus on area damage, stun, temporary Attack increases, damage reduction, and a final explosion when Mr. Tin is defeated.
Ironclad Punch

Mr. Tin attacks enemies in a fan-shaped area ahead of him. The attack deals damage, stuns affected enemies for one second, and temporarily increases Mr. Tin’s Attack.
| Skill Level | Area Damage | Attack Bonus | Stun Duration | Bonus Duration |
| Level 1 | 100% Attack | 20% | 1 second | 2 seconds |
| Level 2 | 110% Attack | 40% | 1 second | 2 seconds |
| Level 3 | 120% Attack | 60% | 1 second | 2 seconds |
| Level 4 | 130% Attack | 80% | 1 second | 2 seconds |
| Level 5 | 140% Attack | 100% | 1 second | 2 seconds |
Ironclad Punch is Edith’s main active Exploration skill. It provides three useful effects in a single activation:
- Area damage against enemies in front
- A one-second stun
- A temporary personal Attack increase
The stun can interrupt enemy attacks or abilities. It is especially effective when several enemy heroes are grouped in front of Mr. Tin.
At Level 5, the skill doubles Mr. Tin’s Attack for two seconds. This improves his following normal attacks and any other damage effects activated during the buff window.
The stun duration remains one second at every level. Skill upgrades primarily improve the damage and temporary Attack bonus.
Escape Capsule

When Mr. Tin reaches zero Health, he ejects his core to protect Edith. The remaining mechanical body explodes and deals area damage to nearby enemies.
| Skill Level | Explosion Damage |
| Level 1 | 200% Attack |
| Level 2 | 220% Attack |
| Level 3 | 240% Attack |
| Level 4 | 260% Attack |
| Level 5 | 280% Attack |
Escape Capsule gives Edith a final source of damage when Mr. Tin is defeated.
At Level 5, the explosion deals 280% Attack damage to nearby enemies. This can weaken or finish opponents that have gathered around the frontline.
The skill is most effective when Mr. Tin is surrounded by multiple enemies. If opponents remain at long range, fewer targets may be caught in the explosion.
Escape Capsule is useful, but players should not intentionally allow Edith to be defeated just to activate it. Keeping Mr. Tin alive usually provides more value because he can continue stunning enemies and protecting the backline.
Preemptive Alerts

Edith warns Mr. Tin about incoming danger, giving him a chance to reduce the damage received from an attack by 50%.
| Skill Level | Activation Chance | Damage Reduction |
| Level 1 | 10% | 50% |
| Level 2 | 20% | 50% |
| Level 3 | 30% | 50% |
| Level 4 | 40% | 50% |
| Level 5 | 50% | 50% |
Preemptive Alerts is Edith’s main Exploration survival skill.
At Level 5, Mr. Tin has a 50% chance to reduce incoming damage by half. Successful activations can significantly extend his time on the frontline.
The amount of damage reduction remains fixed at 50%. Increasing the skill level improves how frequently the effect can activate.
Because the skill is chance-based, its performance can vary between battles. Mr. Tin may reduce several major attacks in one fight but receive fewer activations in another.
Longer battles give Preemptive Alerts more opportunities to trigger.
Edith’s Exploration Role
Edith works best as a primary frontline tank. Her high Health, damage-reduction chance, stun, and exclusive gear healing allow Mr. Tin to protect the rest of the formation.
She works well with:
- A second frontline hero with shields or control
- Lancers that can reach or disrupt enemy backlines
- Marksmen with strong area or single-target damage
- Heroes that provide healing
- Heroes that increase allied damage
- Heroes that reduce enemy Attack or Defense
Ironclad Punch performs best when several enemies are positioned in front of Mr. Tin. Heroes that group, stun, or immobilize opponents can improve its area damage and control value.
Edith can remain useful even after Mr. Tin is defeated because Escape Capsule deals a final burst of damage. However, the main goal should still be keeping her frontline active for as long as possible.
Edith Expedition Skills
Edith’s Expedition skills provide defensive bonuses for Infantry and Marksmen while increasing Lancer damage and the Health of the full formation.
Strategic Balance

Mr. Tin protects friendly Marksmen while applying pressure that allows allied Lancers to deal more damage.
| Skill Level | Marksman Damage Taken Reduction | Lancer Damage Dealt Bonus |
| Level 1 | 4% | 4% |
| Level 2 | 8% | 8% |
| Level 3 | 12% | 12% |
| Level 4 | 16% | 16% |
| Level 5 | 20% | 20% |
Strategic Balance supports two troop types at the same time.
Marksmen receive up to 20% damage reduction, helping protect the formation’s main ranged damage dealers. Lancers receive up to 20% additional damage, improving the formation’s offensive pressure.
This makes Edith useful in balanced troop formations:
- Infantry absorbs frontline damage.
- Lancers receive a damage bonus.
- Marksmen take less incoming damage.
- All three troop types benefit from Steel Sentinel.
Strategic Balance is less effective when a formation uses very few Lancers or Marksmen. A balanced march receives the greatest overall benefit.
Ironclad

Mr. Tin serves as a fortified wall, reducing the damage taken by Infantry troops.
| Skill Level | Infantry Damage Taken Reduction |
| Level 1 | 4% |
| Level 2 | 8% |
| Level 3 | 12% |
| Level 4 | 16% |
| Level 5 | 20% |
Ironclad strengthens the most important defensive troop type in a standard formation.
At Level 5, Infantry take 20% less damage. This helps preserve the frontline and gives Lancers and Marksmen more time to attack.
The skill provides consistent damage reduction rather than a chance-based dodge. It is useful against most enemy formations regardless of which troop type deals the incoming damage.
Ironclad combines particularly well with:
- Infantry Health bonuses
- Infantry Defense bonuses
- Enemy damage reduction
- Defender Troop Health
- Troop healing or recovery effects
- Formation-wide Health bonuses
The longer the battle lasts, the more total damage Ironclad can prevent.
Steel Sentinel

Edith’s mobile defense system increases the Health of all friendly troops.
| Skill Level | All-Troop Health Bonus |
| Level 1 | 5% |
| Level 2 | 10% |
| Level 3 | 15% |
| Level 4 | 20% |
| Level 5 | 25% |
Steel Sentinel is one of Edith’s strongest Expedition skills because it supports the entire formation.
At Level 5, Infantry, Lancers, and Marksmen all receive 25% additional Health. The effect improves troop survival in both offensive and defensive battles.
Additional Health is particularly useful in:
- City defense
- Garrison battles
- Fortress and stronghold combat
- Sunfire Castle
- State of Power
- Long rallies
- Reinforcement marches
Steel Sentinel also works well with Edith’s exclusive gear. Fortworks provides additional Defender Troop Health, creating a strong defensive combination when Edith is protecting a city or objective.
Edith Exclusive Gear: Charm Toolkit

Edith’s exclusive hero equipment is Charm Toolkit. It improves her Exploration stats while adding Expedition Lethality and Health.
| Equipment Detail | Maximum Value |
| Equipment Name | Charm Toolkit |
| Maximum Equipment Power | 722,250 |
| Exploration Attack | 1,107 |
| Exploration Defense | 1,444 |
| Exploration Health | 21,667 |
| Expedition Lethality | 160.50% |
| Expedition Health | 160.50% |
Charm Toolkit provides more Defense and Health than Attack, matching Edith’s role as a frontline tank.
The Exploration Health bonus is especially valuable because it improves Mr. Tin’s ability to survive burst damage. Expedition Health strengthens the troop formation, while Expedition Lethality prevents Edith from becoming entirely defensive.
Pocket Engineer

When Mr. Tin falls below 50% Health for the first time, Edith restores part of his maximum Health and increases his Defense for the rest of the battle.
| Exclusive Skill | Maximum Effect |
| Pocket Engineer | Restores 35% of maximum Health the first time Mr. Tin falls below 50% Health |
| Additional Effect | Increases Defense by 30% until the battle ends |
Pocket Engineer is a strong frontline survival skill.
The healing effect activates only the first time Mr. Tin falls below 50% Health. At maximum level, he recovers 35% of his maximum Health.
Mr. Tin also receives a 30% Defense increase that remains active until the battle ends. This makes him more difficult to defeat after the healing is triggered.
Pocket Engineer works especially well with Preemptive Alerts:
- Pocket Engineer restores Health and increases Defense.
- Preemptive Alerts can reduce incoming damage by 50%.
- High base Health allows Mr. Tin to benefit more from percentage-based healing.
- Ironclad Punch can interrupt enemies with a stun.
Together, these effects make Edith a durable Exploration and Arena frontline hero.
Fortworks

Fortworks increases the Health of defending troops.
| Exclusive Skill | Maximum Effect |
| Fortworks | Increases Defender Troop Health by 15% |
Fortworks gives Edith a clear specialization in defensive PvP.
The bonus is useful when defending:
- Cities
- Facilities
- Fortresses
- Strongholds
- Alliance structures
- Sunfire Castle
- State of Power objectives
Fortworks combines with Steel Sentinel to provide two separate troop Health bonuses. Steel Sentinel benefits all formations, while Fortworks applies specifically when Edith is defending.
Edith also reduces damage taken by Infantry and Marksmen, creating a well-rounded defensive setup.
Is Charm Toolkit Worth Upgrading?
Charm Toolkit is worth upgrading when Edith is part of the main Exploration, Arena, city defense, or garrison formation.
| Edith Usage | Equipment Recommendation |
| Collection or secondary hero | Low investment |
| Regular Exploration or Arena hero | Moderate investment |
| Main Infantry hero | High investment |
| Defensive PvP specialist | Prioritize Fortworks |
| Exploration frontline build | Prioritize Pocket Engineer |
Exclusive Gear materials are limited. Heavy investment should normally wait until Edith reaches a useful star level and secures a long-term place in the main formation.
Pocket Engineer provides immediate value in Exploration and Arena. Fortworks becomes more important for players who regularly lead defensive garrisons or protect their city during PvP events.
Best Uses for Edith
Edith can contribute in several Whiteout Survival game modes. Her strongest uses involve frontline survival, troop Health, and defensive formations.
Exploration
Edith is a durable Exploration frontline hero.
Ironclad Punch damages and stuns enemies in front of Mr. Tin. Preemptive Alerts gives him a chance to reduce incoming damage, while Pocket Engineer restores Health and increases Defense.
Escape Capsule provides a final explosion if Mr. Tin is defeated.
She performs best when positioned in front of fragile damage heroes. A second frontline hero can provide additional control or protection, reducing the chance that enemies reach the backline.
Arena
Edith can be effective in Arena because her kit provides several layers of frontline protection.
Useful Arena effects include:
- High base Health
- High Defense
- Area stun
- Chance-based damage reduction
- Emergency healing
- Permanent Defense after healing
- Final area explosion at zero Health
Edith is particularly useful against teams that depend on early burst damage. Pocket Engineer can restore a large amount of Health, while Preemptive Alerts may reduce important attacks.
Her damage is lower than that of specialized offensive heroes. She should be paired with strong Lancer and Marksman damage dealers.
City Defense
City defense is one of Edith’s strongest Expedition uses.
Steel Sentinel increases all troop Health, while Fortworks provides additional Defender Troop Health. Ironclad reduces damage taken by Infantry, and Strategic Balance protects Marksmen.
This creates a formation with:
- A stronger Infantry frontline
- Better-protected Marksmen
- Increased Lancer damage
- More Health for all troop types
- Additional Health when defending
Edith cannot overcome a large power difference by herself. City defense still depends on troop tiers, research, Chief Gear, Charms, pets, troop numbers, and supporting heroes.
Garrison Defense
Edith is well suited to garrisoning important alliance objectives.
Her kit can help protect:
- Facilities
- Fortresses
- Strongholds
- Sunfire Castle
- State of Power structures
- Other contested buildings
Garrison battles often last longer than individual field attacks. Edith’s Health and damage-reduction bonuses can provide significant value across repeated combat turns.
She works well with heroes that add Defender Defense, enemy damage reduction, or troop Lethality.
Rally Battles
Edith can contribute to offensive rallies, although her strongest specialization is defense.
Steel Sentinel provides formation-wide Health, helping the rally survive longer. Strategic Balance increases Lancer damage and protects Marksmen, while Ironclad preserves Infantry.
However, Fortworks only benefits defending troops. Players building a pure offensive rally may prefer an Infantry hero with Rally Attack, Rally Lethality, or enemy damage-taken bonuses.
Edith is most useful in offensive rallies when additional survivability is more important than maximum burst damage.
Bear Hunt
Edith is not primarily designed for maximizing Bear Hunt damage.
Strategic Balance increases Lancer damage, but Ironclad and Steel Sentinel are defensive. Her exclusive gear also focuses on Defender Health rather than rally damage.
Rally leaders may use Edith when they lack a stronger Infantry option, but damage-focused heroes will often provide better Bear Hunt results.
Rally joiners should avoid using Edith unless the contributed Expedition skill supports the rally strategy. Defensive skills generally provide limited value when the goal is achieving the highest possible damage score.
State of Power and Large-Scale PvP
Edith is useful during State of Power, Sunfire Castle, and other alliance combat events.
She can contribute to:
- City defense
- Garrison defense
- Structure reinforcement
- Defensive marches
- Long field battles
- Rally formations that need more durability
Her value is highest when protecting an objective. Fortworks, Steel Sentinel, Ironclad, and Strategic Balance all support formations expected to absorb repeated attacks.
Edith Skill Upgrade Priority
Edith’s skill priority depends on whether she is mainly used for Exploration, Arena, city defense, or garrison battles.
Exploration Skill Priority
| Priority | Skill | Reason |
| 1 | Preemptive Alerts | Greatly improves frontline survival |
| 2 | Ironclad Punch | Provides area damage, stun, and an Attack bonus |
| 3 | Escape Capsule | Deals final area damage when Mr. Tin reaches zero Health |
Preemptive Alerts should receive high priority when Edith is used as the main tank. At Level 5, it has a 50% chance to reduce incoming damage by half.
Ironclad Punch is also important because it controls enemies and temporarily doubles Mr. Tin’s Attack at Level 5.
Escape Capsule provides strong damage but only activates when Mr. Tin reaches zero Health. It is useful as a final effect but does not help keep him active.
Players focusing on clearing Exploration stages may upgrade Ironclad Punch alongside Preemptive Alerts for a balance of damage, control, and survival.
Expedition Skill Priority
| Priority | Skill | Reason |
| 1 | Steel Sentinel | Increases Health for all troop types |
| 2 | Ironclad | Reduces damage taken by Infantry |
| 3 | Strategic Balance | Protects Marksmen and increases Lancer damage |
Steel Sentinel is the most flexible Expedition skill because it improves the full troop formation.
Ironclad should receive high priority for defensive formations. Infantry serve as the frontline, so reducing their incoming damage helps protect Lancers and Marksmen.
Strategic Balance remains valuable because it supports two troop types. Players using a Lancer-heavy offensive formation may choose to upgrade it before Ironclad.
All three skills should eventually be upgraded if Edith will become a main garrison or city defense hero.
Best Formation Strategy for Edith
Edith performs best in a formation built around durability and protected damage dealers.
A balanced Exploration or Arena formation can include:
- Edith in the frontline
- A second Infantry, Lancer, or control hero
- A strong Marksman in the backline
- A second damage dealer
- A healer, shield provider, or support hero
Edith can serve as the main tank. Her area stun and emergency healing help create time for allied damage heroes to activate their abilities.
She works particularly well with heroes that provide:
- Healing
- Shields
- Enemy Attack reduction
- Enemy damage reduction
- Crowd control
- Burst damage
- Backline targeting
For Expedition, Edith supports balanced troop formations.
Her complete Expedition kit provides:
- Damage reduction for Infantry
- Damage reduction for Marksmen
- Additional damage for Lancers
- Additional Health for all troops
- Additional Health for defending troops
Useful bonuses to combine with Edith include:
- Defender Defense
- Defender Lethality
- Infantry Health
- Infantry Defense
- Enemy damage reduction
- Troop Attack
- Marksman damage
- Lancer damage
- Formation-wide survivability
For city and garrison defense, pair Edith with heroes that provide reliable damage bonuses. Edith already supplies significant durability, so the remaining hero slots should prevent the formation from becoming too defensive.
Is Edith Worth Investing In?
Edith is worth considering for players who need a Generation 7 Infantry hero focused on frontline durability, troop Health, and defensive PvP.
Her value is highest for players who regularly defend cities, alliance structures, and major objectives.
Reasons to Invest in Edith
- Very high Exploration Health
- High Exploration Defense
- Deals area damage and stuns enemies
- Temporarily increases her Attack
- Can reduce incoming damage by 50%
- Deals a final explosion when Mr. Tin is defeated
- Reduces damage taken by Infantry
- Reduces damage taken by Marksmen
- Increases Lancer damage
- Increases Health for all troops
- Restores Health during Exploration battles
- Permanently increases Defense after healing
- Increases Defender Troop Health
Reasons to Limit Investment
- Not available through the Lucky Wheel
- Requires substantial shard investment

Edith can be a strong long-term investment for garrison leaders and players who prioritize defensive PvP. Her combination of all-troop Health, Infantry damage reduction, and Defender Health creates a durable formation.
Players focused mainly on Bear Hunt or offensive rallies may receive more value from an Infantry hero with stronger damage-focused bonuses.
Edith Upgrade Priority
A practical Edith investment order is:
- Check which Edith shard events are available in your state.
- Unlock Edith and choose a realistic star target.
- Raise her to at least 3 stars before expecting strong combat results.
- Aim for 4 stars if she will become your main Infantry hero.
- Upgrade Preemptive Alerts for Exploration survivability.
- Upgrade Ironclad Punch for area damage and stun.
- Upgrade Steel Sentinel for all-troop Health.
- Improve Ironclad for Infantry damage reduction.
- Upgrade Strategic Balance for Marksman protection and Lancer damage.
- Equip Edith with upgraded Infantry Hero Gear.
- Invest in Charm Toolkit after confirming her long-term role.
- Prioritize Pocket Engineer for Arena and Exploration.
- Prioritize Fortworks for city and garrison defense.
- Continue toward 5 stars only when the cost fits your future hero plan.
Do not judge Edith only by displayed Hero Power. Her performance also depends on skill levels, Hero Gear, exclusive equipment, troop composition, positioning, research, Chief Gear, and supporting heroes.
Mistakes to Avoid When Upgrading Edith
Unlocking Edith Without a Star Target
A newly unlocked Edith may be weaker than a developed older Infantry hero. Decide whether you can reach at least 3 or 4 stars before committing valuable resources.
Spending General Shards Without Planning Ahead
Mythic General Hero Shards can be used on many Legendary heroes. Avoid spending all of them unless Edith will remain in your main formation.
Treating Edith as a Main Damage Dealer
Edith can deal area damage, but her primary role is frontline protection. She still needs strong Lancer and Marksman heroes to defeat enemy formations.
Expecting Preemptive Alerts to Activate Every Time
Preemptive Alerts has a maximum activation chance of 50%. It can reduce major attacks, but its effect is not guaranteed.
Relying on Escape Capsule Too Much
Escape Capsule only activates when Mr. Tin reaches zero Health. Keeping Edith alive generally provides more value than triggering the final explosion early.
Using Edith for Maximum Bear Hunt Damage
Most of Edith’s Expedition kit is defensive. She may help a formation survive, but she is not designed as a specialized Bear Hunt damage hero.
Ignoring Troop Balance
Strategic Balance improves Lancers and Marksmen, while Ironclad supports Infantry. Using an extremely unbalanced troop formation may reduce the value of part of her kit.
Building a Formation With Too Much Defense
Edith provides significant troop durability. Pairing her only with other defensive heroes may create a formation that survives but cannot deal enough damage.
Upgrading Charm Toolkit Too Early
Exclusive Gear materials are limited. Heavy investment may not be efficient while Edith is still at a low star level or used only in a secondary formation.
Ignoring Fortworks
Fortworks is an important part of Edith’s defensive specialization. Players using her for garrisons or city defense should account for the Defender Troop Health bonus.
Replacing a Developed Infantry Hero Too Quickly
A Generation 7 hero is not automatically stronger at a low star level. Compare battle reports before transferring your best Infantry Hero Gear to Edith.
