There, I said it - Melendor is rubbish 👎

[Shenjairo]

Sorry, I generally don’t care how someone spells on the internet but do feel a need to correct heavily used game terms since it will just happen over and over otherwise.

It’s Riposte, not Riptose. (I mainly complain about people writing Ruins instead of Runes)

[SWEG]

Kashrek has replaced melendor as my green healer on offense lol. He’s sturdy. Attack stat is lower but in a green stack I haven’t noticed a huge difference. I have noticed a difference in how often my green healer survives long enough to heal though.

[averagejoe33]

I’ve just pulled Rigard, do you rate him above Boldtusk?

I’m actually quite stacked in decent 4* healers, Boldtusk, Melandor, Rigard, 2x Kashreks.

Levelling Rigard now as I have only 1 decent purple and basically no other hero worth training due to bud summons.

[King_Nothing]

How are you for hitters?

Personally, I think I would put Rigard ahead of Bold. He heals more and cleanses the likes of Colen, Azlar, Gravemaker, etc.

The attack buff from bold is nice but if you get hit by one of the above it could be rough so the buff wouldn’t matter.

Plus Rigard has a big heal advantage.

Both can work as tanks.

[averagejoe33]

That’s my problem in wars really, I don’t have many big hitters to go around.

Quintus, Grimm, Chao, Little John, Colen, Guardian Falcon, Guardian Kong (low level).

Then basically a bunch of fast sniper 3* like Bane and Balthazar.

[King_Nothing]

Do the 3*'s work for the type of opponents you draw?

It could just be a matter of time.

It sounds like you may have to rely on healers more for now.

[averagejoe33]

I save the 3* fast snipers for the end of wars, hoping there are gaps in teams then ghost tiles to build specials as fast as possible to do damage as I know tile damage won’t be enough.

Annoyingly my last set of summons were 2 carvers and 2 Jahingars then I got Rigard to save it, I’m just low on decent heroes to level now and will be for a while by the looks of things

[King_Nothing]

Luck is a big part of summons. I haven’t been very lucky lately.

[Fledoble]

Maaan, dont be dissing Melendor and Sabina for their brittle jaws and tender constitution.

With all these Guin tanks and blue-new comers both Mel and Sab make for great 3rd heros in AWs.

When your hero stable grows, running 3/2 teams with strong/neutral colors becomes more and more effective. And using setups like these is quite effective

Mel/Lianna/Merlin/Hansel/Rigard
Kiril/Grimm/Proteus/Triton/Sabina

[EVA01]

Thats awesome. I have Melendor for
Matchups against blue titans because his offense is quite superior. But I will never change my bookend of Mother North and Rigard. Rigard is fantastic. Built like a tank and heals up others great. Plus with MN doing her thing theynvan drive u bananas. Glad to c Rigard getting love!

[ItsaDragon]

Love me some Sabina, have her at talent level 6 and she can take direct hits from Aliase now.

I did give Melendor one talent level so he can make a minion now and then. He does that more than I expected.

[Finmirage]

Actually Sabina is pretty great nowadays and that’s because of her “witch” class, of which there aren’t that many. Emblemed Sabina has lots more durability and general power level close to 5* heroes.

Regard, is a cleric and Melendor a wizard and those classes have lots of other more useful candidates for class emblems.

[King_Nothing]

Rigard is 100% worth the emblems in his class.

[Gryphonknight]

When all you have is a hammer…

… every thing looks like a nail. Including actual nails.

@JonahTheBard

Meanwhile, Melendor is as flimsy as Proteus’ loin cloth.

And it looks like Sabina is much the same.

People get tired of me saying this, but a GOOD 4* 3.60 or 4* 4.70 or 4*+1 rainbow team depends of synergy - effects working well together - Melendor and Sabina and Rigards stat are perfect for the original Wu Kong Cascade Squad.

Notes

@Gryphonknight

Melendor- High attack stat for high board damage- Average mana- Healer keeps Wu Kong alive and the healing part of special skill is unaffected by Gambler’s Stance miss chance.
clone- Sabina
Similar- Boldtusk

Edit 2018-Nov
Rigard and Melendor also work incredibly well when you autoplay seasonal events with Wu Kong. They both have 42% heals, and because they are different colors, their mana bar fills at different rates. Rigard and Sabina do not work as well, since their mana bar fills up at the same rate. Boldtusk and Kiril do not work as well because they only have 27%/ 28% heals.

@Gryphonknight

Sorcerer

Sabina- Can substitute for Melendor on the Cascade Squad ( or swap in versus a yellow / red Titan or Boss ).

Sorcerer can delay enemy buffs, increasing the effectiveness of Sabina’s dispell.

Sabina- Sorcerer - Perfect fit.

Note: I will most like level to Sorcerer 4*+1 Sabina then Ameonna before leveling Sabina from 4*+1 to 4*+19. Delay 3% is a decent first class node, no reason not to give it to Ameonna.

[Olmor]

Debuff without hitting sometimes has great advantages, perhaps if you’re against Elena or other reposters.

I also met a def team with Mele and Sabina that got me in big trouble.

Sabsy Azlar Rigard Mele Sonya

Very very sustainable and even with my Rigard I wasn’t able to melt their health bars, before I got burned down…

[ItsaDragon]

That is a trying not to lose defense with a hope that Azlar will pull it out for you. They should pull out Sonya and put in Triton.

[Olmor]

There already was enough health and Sonyas debuff shredded my buffs. But Trity can be useful to leave at least one healer at home.

[OldCoot]

Melendor is all I have for now, working on Kiril, & once Zim is max’d, start on Boldtusk (Zim max = @ next to last ascension). Need rings badddddddd

[averagejoe33]

I also find him pretty useless as I take him for the debuff but by the time he is close to getting it he has died.

Doesn’t help that he is only 3/60 I suppose

[JonahTheBard]

Potentially he can now be ranked up on emblems, but he’s fourth in my list of green druids
