Best Edras Build, Arcana & Guide for 2026

Edras charges up briefly, gaining crowd control immunity and damage reduction. Once fully charged, he dashes in the chosen direction, dealing physical damage plus bonus damage equal to a percentage of the target’s missing HP.

• Hold the skill button to charge: the longer you charge, the farther you dash and the more damage you deal. Charging until the progress bar reaches the marker gives the maximum effect.
• Use this skill to engage, escape, trigger the passive Radiant Artifact or finish off low-HP enemies.
• Remember: the lower the enemy’s HP, the more damage Skill 1 deals.
• This skill grants crowd control immunity while charging, so you can use it to outplay enemies.
• Skill 1’s base damage and max damage were just significantly increased, and its physical attack scaling is much higher as well, so it hits noticeably harder at every stage of the game — especially once you have enough damage items.
• Since the 27/08/2026 patch, Skill 1 damage in Light form has been increased: base damage 50 (+10/skill level) (+0.5 physical attack) → 75 (+15/skill level) (+0.75 physical attack), max damage 150 (+30/skill level) (+1.5 physical attack) → 225 (+45/skill level) (+2.25 physical attack). A long-charged dash is now a major source of burst damage, so try to fully charge it when diving a low-HP target.

Edras swings his sword to unleash up to 4 waves of sword energy in the chosen direction. Each slash deals physical damage and heals him, letting him stick to fights extremely well.

• Hold Skill 2 to continuously slash sword energy forward, and release to cancel the skill.
• Hold or release depending on the situation — for example, hold it to keep attacking minions and heal more, or release after a single slash to trigger passive Radiant Artifact for a faster burst.

Edras channels for 3 seconds, gaining crowd-control immunity and reduced damage taken throughout. He then unleashes 3 waves of sword energy in the chosen direction, dealing physical damage. From the second wave onward, hitting the same target only deals 30% damage.
Notably, channeling for just 1 second is enough to reach maximum damage. If interrupted before firing, Edras gets the cooldown refunded. The crowd-control immunity persists while the sword waves are firing.

• Skill 3 deals extremely high wide-area damage, especially effective when closing in on the enemy.
• Pick a good angle in a fight to land it on multiple targets for massive damage.
• While channeling, you gain crowd-control immunity, so take advantage of that.
• Watch the white marker on the channel progress bar to know when the skill has reached maximum effect.

Edras unleashes his ferocious power, fully transforming into his Shadow form. The transformation cannot be interrupted.

• You can switch to Shadow form to increase your movement speed toward a target’s position.
• Don’t use this skill while already fighting, since it takes a while to complete.

Edras channels and dashes forward, clearing all slow effects, gaining movement speed, and healing every 0.5 seconds. He is fully crowd-control immune throughout the channel.
If channeled for more than 1 second, Edras gains bonus Attack Speed for 3 seconds, with his movement speed gradually fading over the following 2 seconds. Each basic attack that lands on a target reduces this skill’s cooldown by 1 second, letting him chase continuously.

• Hold Skill 1 to use it, and only release when you want to use another skill.
• While channeling, you gain movement speed and healing, so spam it continuously to rotate lanes without needing to recall much.
• This skill also grants crowd-control immunity, so activate it the moment the enemy tries to crowd-control you.
• Channel for at least 1 second to get the bonus Attack Speed (watch the marker on the progress bar to know when it’s enough).
• Basic attacks that land on a target reduce Skill 1’s cooldown, so combine them to keep spamming the skill continuously.

Edras swings his sword, sending a sword wave in the chosen direction that deals physical damage and slows targets for 2 seconds.
Enemies hit are marked with Rend, taking bonus physical damage from Edras’s basic attacks. If the target is an enemy hero, Edras heals, helping him last longer in fights.

• The main purpose of this skill is to slow enemies so you can keep basic attacking, so combine it smartly with your ultimate Chaos Destruction for a crowd control chain.
• The bonus damage from the Rend mark has been increased, so basic attacks right after landing Skill 2 now deal more damage than before — keep basic attacking as soon as the target is marked to maximize damage.
• Since the 27/08/2026 patch, Skill 2’s bonus damage in Dark form has increased from 120 (+24/skill level) (+0.4 bonus physical attack) to 150 (+30/skill level) (+0.5 bonus physical attack), making Demon-form Edras better at dueling, especially once he has physical attack items.

Edras summons a dark magic circle marking the target area. A moment later, the circle explodes, dealing physical damage and launching every enemy in the area for 0.75 seconds — extremely effective for opening or locking down a fight.

• Skill 3 launches enemies around it, so use it precisely to take advantage of the extra crowd-control time for more basic attacks.
• Remember there’s a delay between casting the skill and the launch effect, so plan ahead, or use it from within a bush as the enemy approaches so they can’t react in time.

Edras suppresses his raging dark energy, transforming back into his Radiant form. The transformation cannot be interrupted, ensuring safety when switching states in an intense fight.

• Generally, you shouldn’t switch to Radiant form if you’ve already committed to Shadow form.
• The one exception is when you need Radiant-form Skill 2 Holy Radiance Slash to attack and heal.
