======Edward======
===== Strategy and Tips =====
Edward has very low HP, low strength growth, and high agility growth. Typically his best use in the early game is using a Dancing Dagger, though he can put out respectable damage with a good bow and arrows and some strength boosting gear. With 9 agility at base level, he can also make a good anchor for mid and late game, provided he doesn't gain any levels.

Edward's biggest strength in Free Enterprise is his [[#Hide]] ability, which can be used for a variety of boss cheeses:

  * Most notably, Zeromus can be defeated at //any// level by hiding from Big Bangs and reflecting counter Nukes with StarVeils.
    * //A text guide to this strategy is available [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xw1vsN-OROShv4ZxPcStwJ1LsmFlPcZr3IIjOBSNEww/edit#heading=h.dvcyslrwgp71|here]]. (Credit: Kirchin)//
  * When free bosses are enabled((meaning the ''Nbosses'' flag is NOT on)), Edward can hide from D.Knight until the fight ends.
  * Against Odin, Edward can hide until the "Thunderstruck" instant-defeat condition can be met.
  * EvilWall will attack itself if all living party members are off-screen. In some locations, it can even defeat itself.
    *  // A chart detailing the viability of this strat at each location is available [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TQY6hGjqkC1NQGDv_M0pzPQa2xZZlAT7rzCzCNLyX1g/|here]]. (Credit: Antidale)//

[[#Sing]] has some niche uses as well, as it can potentially nullify enemies that don't have the boss bit.

[[#Heal]] requires a Cure1 potion, which are not available in many Free Enterprise flagsets, and heals for very little, so it is of minimal use.

=====Equipment Options=====
[[Edward Equipment]]
===== Special Abilities =====
====Hide====
Becomes untargetable until unhide is selected. \\
====Auto-Hide====
Automatically hides if hp is critical, and no enemies have the boss bit.\\
====Sing====
If a harp is equipped, this command produces one of four effects:\\
\\
25% chance of casting Sleep\\
25% chance of casting Mute\\
25% chance of casting Charm\\
25% chance of doing nothing\\
\\
However, if Edward has Toad status:\\
\\
100% chance of casting Toad\\

==== Heal ====
//(Requires enabling the //''j-abilities''// flag)//\\
Uses one Cure1 potion from your inventory as a multi-target heal. The healing power is split among the characters, so the amount healed is very low.
