Maybe drop a cross-post here:
I don’t remember seeing Merlin there, and it’s a hero some folks might want to see, but many may not have LB.
I have Gretel LB +20. I find her pretty effective.
Haha! I have 2 - one +20 and one 4^70 - but they both came after I finished S2. I got so used to playing without Proteus that I never used him as much as some people do, and I don’t feel like I’m missing much. Put Fish Face in his place if he ever does show up! LOL
You aren’t the only one. A @Muchacho deep dive is always worth the read.
