"These maps are endgame enough that I'm satisfied with clearing them at all." Dude, same. These S stages have been more cancerous than anything we've gotten recently that I'm skipping the medal for next year.
wait really? the only one i didn't first try was S-4 challenge mode and the mini annihilation, i thought these stages were some of the easiest we've gotten this year
Very nice. Btw, if you were to choose only one of Melanite's skills, which one would you say gets used more often? I will already build her but I have my doubts about S2 and S1 seems great still
It depends on what you want out of her. I use both skills a lot for snakeknights because she's one of the few units I have and both are good in different situations, but if you already have Schwarz or Pozyomka built then her s2 hitting everything in range is the main thing setting her apart. You can use either skill depending on the situation if you just want to use Melanite but if you're only going to put masteries in one of her skills it should be s2, the sp cycle improves with each level which makes a big difference on a low cooldown skill, while s1 only gets increased damage.
Wait I thought people generally prefer his S1 over his S2 for overall damage? Or is it just me. I like his S1 better because the way it works synergies better with his talent (also I just like his stunned animation lol)
I'm talking casual players here, once you start crunching numbers s1 is the better option in pretty much any situation unless you need the silence. the sp gain during his self stun is pretty small, 3sp over 10 seconds at max pot or 4sp if you mod3 him, so the synergy is there but it's not going to make a major difference in regular play. his kit feels like they were scared of how good ifrit is so while trying not to make a design mistake he ended up being kinda mediocre instead (except for how cute he is)
@@caliginousinsight I agree about his kit being a very lackluster version of Ifrit's. It's like they went "oh let's make a second blast caster but what's his talent's going to be? Oh Ifrit has 2 SP per few seconds. Let's do that to him but make it sp regeneration and make it activates when he's not attacking" that talent is a problem from the very beginning tbf. I wish his talent is better.
