Melendor or Caedmon?

I have enough ascension materials for just one of them and not sure which to use. Have a 3/19 Vivica as my healer now and Sabina I haven’t leveled any

Since u have 2 healers I would go Caedmon.

Personally I like him, and I think Melendor sux but that’s just me…

some people love Melendor!

Both dispel buffs, but one hits and the other heals. I have both maxed and I feel Caedmon is more versatile. This is most likely because I have several other healers, and need a hitter who will dispel.

With 2 other healers, Caedmon. Melendor is awesome, but you need some snipers too.

Melendor does have good tile damage and is useful in a green stack but for the time being I’d agree with the above, Caed

Long answer is: both. Choose your poison for first up but with the growing meta of blue tanks and proliferation of Boril’s, having green debuffers that you can level fast and use in war are gold:

So both.

Caedmon first, then Melendor. Both are equally good in their speciality.

Caed first and then Mel. The thing about Viv, is 8 would level a 4* hero first. In the time and materials it takes to level a 5* you can level 2 4*.
I love Mel and he sees very regular use for me. But, my Caed is still at 1/1.
I usually use both my maxed Mel and Sabina both get used every war because of their dispell without taking riposte damage. Someday I’ll level multiples.

Caedmon takes a hit dispelling riposte. Melendor doesn’t. For that reason, isn’t it better to use Melendor against Boril ?

Just aim Caedmon at one of the wings (or someone else that doesn’t have riposte up if Boril should be a flank and you still brought green dispellers).

I don’t see Boril anymore but lots and lots of Aegir tanks and the odd Arthur. Caed+10 is still vital for me, I use Kunchen for heals. Mel has no emblems and only comes out for green mono.

There are times when I kill the opposing side of the board and Boril casts reposte covering the only remaining opponent hero, no one remaining in the wing without riposte. Especially in cases where Boril is not tank. This is why I am thinking Melendor… ?

Sure Mel works too, but if you’ve killed half the team already you can just wait riposte out and ghost to charge some more of your guys :). I’d still use Caed if I was in hurry and had something to follow up with, but at 10+ he can take a punch.

Imo riposte is only a problem early in the fight, when it’s hard to avoid hitting protected heroes with tiles.

That’s probably true in most cases. There are situations where your team took a beating and is hanging by a thread but I’d agree with you that the former usually happens more frequently.

If your team took a beating flimsy Mel is long gone ;). Nah but jokes aside; sure he works fine as a dispeller, it’s mostly a matter of taste and play style I reckon.
