CRITICAL OR ATTACK SPEED MELISSA: WHICH BUILD IS BETTER?

Which Build is Better for Melissa? Trinity vs Critical Build
Hey guys, what's up? In this video, we're going to be comparing two different builds for Melissa: the Trinity Build and the Critical Build. We'll be testing both builds to see which one comes out on top in terms of damage, durability, and utility.
The Trinity Build
The Trinity Build is a more balanced build that focuses on giving Melissa a good mix of damage, durability, and utility. It consists of the following items:
Cursed Needle
Demon Hunter Sword
Scarlet Phantom
Windtalker
Blade of Despair
The Critical Build
The Critical Build is a more damage-oriented build that focuses on maximizing Melissa's critical hit chance and damage. It consists of the following items:
Berserker's Fury
Scarlet Phantom
Windtalker
Blade of Despair
Immortality
Which Build is Better?
So, which build is better for Melissa? It really depends on your playstyle and the enemy team composition. If you're looking for a more balanced build that will allow you to do a little bit of everything, then the Trinity Build is a great option. However, if you're looking for a more damage-oriented build that will allow you to burst down enemies quickly, then the Critical Build is the way to go.

I'm always using critical Melissa and I can't wait for the adjustment of haas claws and scarlet

Can you tell me ur build please?

[@ken_dough]

I like this comparison videos. Though these tests are only for late game builds, might be worthwhile to also compare their early to mid game and their item powerspikes

[@ayamPENYETZ]

@@KiEruLF20 what?

[@tgeiii3554]

The tower push test will always favor the atk. speed build since Scarlet’s passive doesn’t work on turrets.

[@waaahhhvishhh9408]

​@HappyTauras usual those troll developers got our hopes up

[@satsuki697]

Really wanted know this .. thanks Elgin ✨️

[@axgbb]

Yay finally, I was one of those that suggested this comparison when the Moskov comparison video came out. Please try out Zilong or Argus next

[@icession4872]

At this point might as well adjust the build according to enemy but... When the new adjusted items comes maybe Crit might have the upper edge a bit because of Haas claws. But that's just me although you gotta admit that passive can be clutch from time to time so maybe this video will need a small update.

[@OlBlO2l2lllZ]

If DHS is added with the Crit build the results with a tanky target may differ.

[@Monkey_Luffy01]

It depends on the enemy line up. If most heroes on the enemy are squishy, go for the crit. But if there is more tanky hero, then go for attck speed.

[@phoenixboygaming9981]

yup, i was abt to comment that lol :)

[@jellynone2291]

So u got here first huh?

[@cake3397]

You can dash more with trinity than crit. There will always be tanky heroes in high ranks. Against squishy heroes both builds kill them very fast so imo it doesn’t matter whether the enemy line up has more squishy or tanky heroes and that trinity is just better just my opinion of course

[@captainnyan-nyan2005]

​@@cake3397which is the reason there's the need for the buffing for critical builds.

[@wilmatomalon4949]

I prefer both😅

[@josephconradisidro]

you should also consider other factors such as cost effectiveness, crit build is slightly cheaper by 90 gold, not that much difference. which will help you farm better in the early, mid and late game. - early game, building tier 2 like swift corssbow and vampirr mallet can make a difference. Item effects can help on one on one and laning - corrosion scythe can help in chasing, while DHS has lifesteal for lane sustain

[@youagain8447]

For Melissa specifically, the crit build has one other advantage, that being Windtalker's passive helps you clear lanes so much faster than other MM thanks to her passive (25% more dmg against non-hero units). This can reduce how long you show on the map, which means you'll be safer against ganks For sustain with crit build, i personally think the base lifesteal stat you get from MM emblem is more than enough (you can even double down on it by putting stat points in lifesteal too). She's usually used with Inspire too, so i think it's more than enough.

[@Malenia_BladeOfMiquella]

If you're not sure what yo build, just build hybrid with Corrosion,DHS,Windtalker and Berserker's fury..remove the Golden Staff that negates crit..then just adjust accordingly (build WoN/Haa's or whatever 1 defensive item u want)..this is how I build Argus almost all the time.

[@Yuri-21]

That's how i use Melissa

[@albertcelzo8103]

Well, thanks for this. Love from PH 🇵🇭 bro 😊

[@albertcelzo8103]

How about the boots? Is swift boots the default for melissa and argus?

[@Malenia_BladeOfMiquella]

@@albertcelzo8103 Yeah, attack spd boots, you can go defensive boots though, it just really depends on you , I'm just sharing what I do..based on experience 👍

[@justanormalperson5909]

Id say scarlet is better than windtalker bcs more crit rate and atk and almost the same atk speed

[@jasphervillarasa9455]

Hi elgin. Been watching all your videos. As far as I know, normal skin has +8 attributes.

[@sarcastyt8654]

Compare which better build for guinevere, tank build or mage build next due to her recent buff/adjustment

[@francisnielsaing3812]

How about you include survivability? It is one of the factors which build to use in a clash

[@SimonSahara-zl9ck]

Can you make another which build is better video with Argus next time? Pls I'm just curious

[@sachinbhandari6708]

Eligin, I have a request for you can you start the camparion with two or three items and then increase the items gradually it will be more helpful to know which item set can help farm fast thank you, love you

[@kiefwyndham6150]

You should review Arlott, because right now I mainly use Arlott at full tank build items, he is way more efficient at gameplay, but perhaps u should review 😅

[@suskun4892]

Comparing Argus with both builds might be interesting.

[@bruh_gamingOffical]

Hey Elgin can you make a video about popal and kupa which build is better?

[@_simj]

I preferred -attck speed boots -corrosion scythe -wind talker -Bersekers fury -scarlet phantom -rose gold/demon hunter I usually used this when Im facing less tanky heroes and I especially like to use this because of the movement speed lol

[@lam-angwren2129]

Going crit usually means she gets punished *hard* by blade armor. As if dhs build doesn't already suffer from it, crit is just too risky.

[@thats_not_breezyshes_soo_windy]

More like vengeance

[@lam-angwren2129]

@@thats_not_breezyshes_soo_windy Vengeance returns a part of all the damage dealt. Blade armor only returns part of the main basic attack (excludes dhs) and a percentage of physical defense. So dealing more crit -> taking more damage

[@justineespeno5408]

And dhs has lifesteal so it can sustain back the blade armor damage

[@davesimpas2046]

Please do a 3way between tank, damage, and hybrid lancelot.

[@arvinkhurt2502]

Could you try next video about Zhask Magic Build?in which build is better? Because Zhask is my main mage and favourite hero Thanks

[@iTwist24]

the comparison that we need

[@SoloMonYamashita-Hermit]

What about comparing the builds with the inspire spell? Inspire spell probably is the most used spell on her.

[@cutegirlcaloocan8547]

Maraming salamat po natutunan nya ako mahalin dahil dito

[@ilovemlbbandgenshin_42069]

I use atk speed build except instead of staff i use scarlet phantom and i must say its worth a try!

[@ewkaris]

Finally this video is for me because I am Melissa main

[@GinsuSher]

Edith build guide please. There's a lot of Edith users in solo queque that dont freaking understand her passive and build magic items first.

[@sammagtaos799]

I hope when you do test like this without skin for both cause skin have a little attribute like dmg or hp for tanky hero(s)

[@87P13]

I think the Golden staff is better with her for cdr of her dash/basic atk

[@firstername]

old thamuz spellvamp build vs current attack speed thamuz build would be cool

[@avaavocado8840]

I love using attack speed honestly, she is so good to play as. as long as u have good teammates, u might even have a chance to have a savage in ranked

[@kafkawanter.]

I think next patch crit build will be better for Melissa especially with Haas claws revamp

[@elmiratoribio9074]

depends if the users are good at using melissa of any build that it can put

[@flashyred9125]

Thank you for doing it 🙏☺️

[@flashyred9125]

Waiting for the one on Karie

[@yuranuS7]

U can combine the 2 build types Go scarlet,dhs,berserker,malefic,wind of nature U can easily kill squishy heroes at the same time melt tanks.

[@aaronandrade7528]

Can You Try Badang Trinity Build vs Badang Penetration build Thank You

[@lilmemer2193]

Do a Edith build guide, you will be surprised how many builds there are for edith

[@elainnatividad104]

I thought it was only tank or mage build lol

[@tiramisu3636]

I'm usually use windtalker, dhs and berserkers for crit and hp based damage

[@eugenequek6797]

I main mage/tank if I get forced to off pick marksman/fighter/assassin what heroes are the most versatile?

[@krewfamandbeansforlife4853]

Im using atk speed but i think in the build adjustment i will have to use crit build now

[@shree5studios298]

I think u should wait for the new hasses claw and sacarlet phantom before making another video 😊

[@DaaaaamnDaniel]

4:20 Video length. Nice 👍🏻

[@darknaufil]

When I use millisa I do hybrid build critical plus demon hunter and malefic roar or crimson scite I'm bad at spelling even though I'm gr 7 😅

[@mhh4700]

With attack speed build you can dash upto 3 times if enemies are linked with 2nd skill. Soo that's a perk

[@dhrumilkotad1856]

Please make a video on wanwan after her Nerf please

[@nguzhitaocaydenspringfield76]

I want to see if critical build or attack speed build suits for Zilong

[@Yaying_jack]

Isn't it the skin 😅

[@ardhisan1469]

Wait Elgin, the left one doesn't use skin so that will create a HUGE gap time of killinv.

[@jacerebil]

it really just depends if the enemy has a good tank(s) or not

[@zagster1859]

Do a build test with Alpha! Attack Speed Build or Common Damage Build

[@TugsTuks]

finally build guide for melissa

[@winmar2623]

Karrie next I wanna see juat curious

[@healerdance7]

You should always go for attack speed on MM as one of the main roles is to push the objectives. It's not that big difference between the killing time on the crit and attack speed but when it comes with towers, crit cannot even compare with attack speed.

[@dreii16]

Some MMs don't take advantage of Attack Speed build. Yes they're one of the main roles to take down towers but they're also the main damage dealer in the team aside from the mage. Some MMs prefer critical build such as Irithel, Moskov (Although he prefers a hybrid build), Miya, Layla etc. because they can't capitalize on the items in the Attack Speed build (DHS only being advantageous for multiple attacks at once, Golden Staff requiring you to have atleast some sort of enabler etc.). The main reason why Attack Speed build even works is because of the survivability and sustainability you gain in exchange for damage and that cannot work well with MMs who's main strength IS their offence capability.

[@healerdance7]

@@dreii16 Yeah, on some of them crit build works better because they have no benefits from the attack speed. But Moskov for example is, for me, better with the attack speed as it reduces the CD on his spells, therefore he can dash more frequently. So again, it's not that big difference between crit and attack speed build for the heroes that he's showing in these videos, so, for them attack speed build is just better

[@vrdrpg1490]

@@healerdance7 one of the problem i encounter usually when i use moskov atk speed build is ur guaranteed to lose against enemy mm with crit build. unless you ambush them or managed to stun with ur 2nd, he has lower basic attack range compare to others

[@endyedru]

I refer a semi build instead Like using corosion scyth and scarlet phantom

[@biteall8590]

Test argus aspd vs high pen build

[@Terrano4]

With the new scarlet phantom shed have decent mobility even without boots

[@Mikey-tc9qv]

I prefer combining both builds, atk speed kills tanky heroes faster because of the demon hunter, so my default build is {corrosion scythe - demon hunter - scarlet phantom (instead of golden staff) - berserk fury - malefic roar (or wind if necessary)}

[@elainnatividad104]

I wanna know which of these build is better for Hanabi.

[@MrElfblade]

I want to see ZL comparison next.

[@MrElfblade]

@_._Real_Elgin My ass you fucking Scammers.

[@hanzrobertbeladas5386]

Can you try argus for the build?

[@yedhu9456]

Do miya next😅😅

[@havoc9969]

Bro the basic skin has +8 physical attack.

[@Val99.]

Trinity build is better if u want to utilize her first skill, you can use two dashes with one 2nd skill.

[@neiney8497]

Due to its bonus attribute of skin?

[@ezabellaa]

Try critical build with DHS, works every time 😮‍💨

[@alucardmorningstar2296]

hi, i think I've seen that elimination effect in the hero skins event? anyone might want to clarify what is it? thank you

[@louie555]

Hey Kuya Elgin, I wanna know your thoughts about the different builds for edith, like Attack speed, High Defense, or High Hp build.

[@aquacancergames]

high defense for ult form damage increase high hp for the initial form of edith

[@louie555]

@_._Real_Elgin weeeeeh

[@TheOneAndOnlyKafka]

Can you do miya or karina?

[@raini9593]

Maybe Freya too, better speed atk or crit?

[@Ssenikrum]

Novaria: burst or cd reduction?

[@justinegonzaga8174]

I pick both except I'm not using golden stadd

[@Lucarioux]

seeing the kill times were very similar means that Trinity is overall better since it gives more lifesteal and slow than crit

[@verncent]

You know I was thinking adding Corrosion Scythe & Demon Hunter Sword to the Crit build just remove the Golden Staff or make the Demon Hunter Sword as a.... I think when I just build it when I have many tanky enemies (I'm really bad at English vocabulary lol 😂)

[@Mars-td7pb]

Ah wait, you should use both with skin, it adds +8 physical attack though.

[@DrewSoquita]

First baka naman HAHAHA😂

[@ggdebubusgm1230]

Uhh remember skin can add 8+ physical attack

[@Ichiro_Manlalaro]

After purchasing a skin, you will still get the attribute when even using the default skin.

[@danielbudiono7232]

haas claw update will reduce blade armor effect on critical build. i think critical build will be better once the update come

[@jhomarbello697]

its depend on situation more tanky hero trinity build . for non tanky build use crit buuld

[@Ppp_ppp69]

The real question is which one is cheaper

[@draconicrayquaza9106]

Miya next with attack speed vs critical build

[@ceyx1201]

Crit is better, her passive is enough for attack spd

[@thomas7176]

so u know melissa skin has small atk stat benefit right I think +8 atk

[@eksp0]

Test hybrid build: tanky MM with atk spd (DH shred/GS) + Lifesteal I TELL YA - UNKILLABLE

[@Mikko135]

Try replacing the boots some Blade of Despair (if you are in full build) it increases your critical damage or if your having hard time in mage buy Rose Gold Meteor/Athena Shield/Radiant Armor.

[@gon9768]

Blade armor counter demin Hunter sword?

[@viridian8786]

Use the speed squad Crit speed with dhs and corrosion scythe

[@mitusinha9536]

Compare eudora clock of destiny build with penetration build Elgin

[@animeworld783]

How about mixed build?

[@cristinatorilla1046]

You know that the skin has an attributes and its +8pysical dmg right

[@mibadi2631]

I'll go for the Critical with scythe

[@onenineshorts]

But if you look closely, atk speed melissa using basic skin and crit melissa using skin +8 physical attack..

[@iforgorowl7590]

As long you got the skin its still aplied to default skin ig

[@unknown-dustin2806]

YAYYY🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

[@KRyouta071]

Elgin! How about Zilong? Since he is a hero that relies on basic attacks

[@vrdrpg1490]

zhilong 100% always needs the crit build. he is meant to be used as burst after using your ult

[@Blacktruthz]

should be basic vs jjk skin....her curse needle is "default/no skin" dont give +7 physical attack attribute

[@karlcedricpagong1227]

wait a moment dont skins have a 8+ATK does that affect anything🤔

[@davidmung5078]

claude Hero I always wanna know which deal more

[@Roflemoon]

Isn't cheating when you eqquiped skin that increase her basic attack?

[@alnlsr]

DO NATAN NEXT

[@karlthemuffinman]

Try Ixia next

[@uvuvuevuevueossas8299]

It don't matter to me anymore I'll just use blade armour + vengeance when fighting her
