Melsa
Kit Overview
Summary
Melsa is an unconventional Adventurer labeled as support despite being excellent for DPS. Although she provides no buffs, debuffs or status ailments, she’s a decent pick for filling out any Flame team.
Why This Tier?
-
While it’s worth noting that Physian’s Bane works on enemies other than Hypnos (specifically the slimes on AtF), this skill amounts to a wasted slot outside the Kindness and Captivity event.
-
Her attack Skills have low SP costs and brief animations, giving Melsa access to frequent damage and quick iframes at a moment’s notice.

|---|---|
A kind-hearted sylvan girl. While usually something of an aloof loner, her passion flames whenever something important comes up. Anything relating to love, however, tends to send her spiraling into confusion. |

Character Stats
Overview
Melsa: Resolute Friend is a free 4★ Fire Dagger obtainable in the “Kindness and Captivity” event upon reaching 500 Friendship. Like many support Adventurers, she is a straightforward damage-dealer with two fast-charging attack skills and Crit Rate Up as her Co-Ability. Her kit bears a strong resemblance to Orsem’s, but as a Flame Dagger she faces fierce competition with Ezelith. Still, even alongside the same weapon type, Melsa is a worthwhile teammate on the Hypnos raid, especially with recent AI improvements to attack speed.
Strengths
Quick Skill Charge
Melsa quickly fills up her skills for constant damage against enemies. With a weapon equipped, she can also provide frequent iframe dodges for telegraphed attacks.
Physian’s Bane
Physian’s Bane gives Melsa a 20-25% damage boost to Physian-type enemies. This includes Basilisks, Raptors, Shrooms, and the Raid Boss Hypnos.
Flurry Devastation
Flurry Devastation boosts Melsa's critical chance when wailing on a boss or tackling a dense group of enemies.
Weaknesses
50% Sleep Resistance
While Sleep resistance is relevant to the Hypnos raid, 50% Sleep Resistance isn’t enough to resist affliction every time the enemy uses a Sleep attack.
No Support Skills
Despite being classified as a Support Unit, she is currently the only dagger that cannot inflict status effects or debuff enemies.
Dragon Recommendations
Agni and Cerberus give a 40-60% boost to Strength, maximizing Melsa's damage output.
Ifrit increases Strength by 30-45%, making him a great alternative to Agni or Cerberus.
Those who obtained Pele during the Loyalty's Requiem event can give Melsa a 20-30% Strength increase and the Blazing Pillars attack.
Weapon Recommendations
Budget option: The Dreamer’s Greatsword
Wyrmprint Recommendations
Skill damage: Valiant Crown, Plunder Pals, Luca’s Prank, Tough Love
Sleep Resist: with Samurai Siesta (40-50% Sleep Res), Melsa can reach 100% resistance.
Skill Haste: Jewels of the Sun
