Hero Review

Costumed Edwin: The Butler Joined the Mafia

"Edwin traded his tuxedo for a fedora and his tea for pure poison. The 'Backstabbing Butler' costume reinvents this nature hero with massive stats, a class change to Cleric, and a bleeding DoT that drains enemies dry. Is this the upgrade he needed to dominate the 2026 meta? Read our full review."
