[@arahaitham123]

Her summer asc 2 is her og asc 4. It's a win. Also she said she prefer Zerkerlot than Saberlot because gattling gun on jet machine trigger her obsession on combat machines. With her asc 1 embrace her boxing skill, her summer ascensions are perfect imo.

[@thefool8224]

she also said she wuld have wanted missiles on her wings, she got what she wanted

[@El_Leviatan]

Sith's fourth ascension is cute Melu's fourth ascension is suggestive Bageko's fourth ascension is peak neuron activation

[@luthfimisbah5103]

Your Honor I would like to correct ur statement All Baobhan Sith's are cute (worth NP5) Melusine final art is Persuasive (for 😭😭😭😭😭) Bageko final art is *COME*

[@TheTheKraven]

I had to come back after reading this comment and seeing that that Barghest FA... AND HOLY UNGA BUNGA! WHAT A MASSIVE ARTS UNIT!

[@NobuNobuSimp]

Nah the more I see Barghest the more I dislike her. Who wants Volleyball sized tits on a character. If they toned that part down and kept her really muscular body then she would be attractive for sure.

[@arashiron9566]

By turn 3, with double castoria and oberon, she only losses by about 15% against Summer Ibuki, 5% if she hits Chaotic. For a tank class with an 2 hit Invul skill, it's actually insane

[@ShiraFuyu2022]

She retains her Lancer's AoE Traits of Ramping, loss her ST power in exchange for having the 1 thing her Lancer Self never could have. A Crit Buff of her Own that can go above 50% if you do her NP even once. Ironically, compare to her Fellow Fae Knights, She has the most straightforward and basic Kits

[@watashielshaeddo5454]

and yet they actually managed to fix the ruler class because of her straight forward kits. What ruler lacked the most was DAMAGE. Who would have thought that giving her an AVENGER game style would fix her DAMAGE issue by being ruler (pretend to be shocked). You may complain about her lack of NP damage during farming, but I can assure you after witnessing her crit damage from her arts card after 1 NP, you will never be the same again.

[@julilanche]

@@watashielshaeddo5454 is her absorb in the second skill enough for her to get stars just for herself with the stars she generates? Or do you need a support for that, like proto merlin's np or johanna's skills? I'm curious

[@watashielshaeddo5454]

@@julilanche you can go 1 castoria and 1 protomerlin if you feel there is not enough stars generated, but honestly speaking after play testing her, I'd simply go 2 castoria for farming. With 2030 CE you can mitigate her lack of star generation even further but I also don't think 2030 should be used on castoria. I'd just stick with bond CE since her damage is only 15% less than S. Ibuki Pretty broken tbh

[@julilanche]

@@watashielshaeddo5454 ah Yes, for farming I think duble Castoria is still a must. I was thinking more in the DPS department, maybe in the event CQ people will test if her star per turn and absorb is enough for consistent crits. But thank you for the answer

[@KuroiShiAnimu]

@@watashielshaeddo5454 Why stop at 1 NP, with her insane refund/battery you can just assume 3 loops which is a total of 120% crit dmg buff including her first skill. Good stuff, extra fun with Proto Merlin plug

[@rarezeroch.5108]

Just found out that the plane behind her in 1st ascension is actually SR-91 aka AURORA

[@MystFGO]

That's amazing lol

[@julilanche]

[@pedrorosa9893]

I will roll all I have for barghest

[@skateboardmd9163]

Despite how broken Summer Melu is, Iyo at least has the advantage of slightly higher damage whilst Johanna has her Arts crit Support niche. But Ruler Moriarty is literally dead at this point, even as a DPS, Summer Melu destroys him. A big F in the chat for Ruler Moriarty.

[@klausarmanius2639]

So true. Mori left dead in the corner

[@lookingforlove839]

Moriarty was never really a farmer. He just enables some units to hit their anti evil niche and he can do some decent damage against good alignment

[@skateboardmd9163]

@@lookingforlove839 Yes, precisely why I specified ‘even as a DPS’ and didn’t mention his farming numbers at all.

[@lookingforlove839]

​@@skateboardmd9163i mean, i consider him more of an enabler than a dps in unconventional teams

[@blurb9319]

@@lookingforlove839it usually isn’t worth it to just bring him as an enabler for anti evil servants outside of slow teams. If he could apply the trait on a skill, that would be unique and make him a potentially solid plug out support thanks to his arts res down on enemies, but waiting to use that skill after an np can make you lose a turn.

[@octapusxft]

There is one clear thing about Summer Melusine. She is having a great time in Chaldea since her post LB6 summoning

[@mylesobrien7477]

The cool thing is this summer Melisine design was partially in CHOCOs art book of her same as with her wearing a face mask

[@aokyoutsuki7744]

Finally another one who saw her bonkers concept art in the book, so happy to see it materialize here

[@PlumeDArc]

105%(1.05) modifier becoming 110%(1.1)? Who would've thought she would be broken! It's not like Melusine's biggest strength is brute force through neutral typings!

[@Byssbod]

And she doesn't have issues against sabers anymore

[@PlumeDArc]

@@Byssbod Hell, she even have Anti-Saber append💀

[@mrsheldon9134]

So her 11,495 atk is actually 12,644? And with 1k Fou it’s actually 13,744?

[@julilanche]

3rd ascension really shows the Xenoblade vibe Choco has (wich is awesome, btw)

[@mylesobrien7477]

I fucking love it Melusines design is in my heart right next to KOS-MOS

[@sylvrwolflol]

I'm loathe to poke fun at accents, but Myst saying "now what does her dick look like" is funny literally every time XD

[@ivanbluecool]

Honestly she didn't have much competition in the ruler front. Arts aoe rulers can be a bit lacking from seeing them

[@ivanbluecool]

​@jtjtmitrgood luck on that.

[@chariot2523]

Well,there's Iyo,which is a free np5 aoe art ruler and she's already pretty good

[@rdwn1999]

Iyo is good

[@janekge6761]

She is a white dragon instead of black, which means she's free from the curses of the faeries.

[@belphy205]

Lovely NP 4 Melu. 😂 enjoy Myst

[@Kaidonious]

2:12 holy shit, my bits made it into the video 😂. First time ever giving bits to someone and couldn’t have had better timing.

[@Azure70]

While it wasn’t to this extend. Remember how Melusine acted when we met her in Gloucester? She was pretending to be the quiet type because that’s what Aurora told her. Reading her Lancer form voiceline you see how she is.

[@taco2215]

She went from way of the dragon to being the top gun

[@Hollyrking268]

Accidently NP3 her is not a mistake on my part, glad i have her

[@bluefang162]

I love how she's more happy in her Summer form compared to her Lancer version. I cant wait for this to drop in NA... aaand pray my phone doesnt explode on me.

[@grigori9061]

I just did some math in my head. If you start her with black rail and have a maxed out upend then with two castoria‘s and her third skill max out she has enough raw NP to Loop even if she doesn’t get enough NP back on the second turn which I’m really excited about because I adore Melusine and this means so long as I can get the damage I can use her in any note Composition performance

[@griffgileatsbread9500]

She finally became the fighter jet she always wanted to be! So proud 🫡😭

[@Gojiradogzillagodzilla]

Lolilot fans, 2 years for us to be in heaven... gotta get castoria now tho oof

[@_LieuTrungNghia]

I'm here to have your blessing. Please! Come home Melusine! TT

[@GoobieWoobie69]

she seems pretty good. she doesnt dethrone Summer Ibuki but being able to 1 1 x as arts is rlly good

[@thefool8224]

not gonna lie, 3rd ascension is pretty good.

[@quochuyvo3774]

This event misplaced 4 star and 5 star units. 4 star units have one of the most unique and interesting mechanic while 5 star units are very straight forward. They're all good though

[@bmth692]

Melusine top tier oh no what a superise

[@MrKyriakos94]

man that what the fuck bit had an amazing timing xD. im dying

[@TurinTurambar200]

Her Ascension 3 art sure is her artist Choco remembering all the old heavy weapons designs they did for KOS-MOS. I was honestly disappointed at the lack of that with Lancer Melusine.

[@yuzu5317]

Just so you can't unsee it. In ascension 3, the missile launchers/gear next to her look like they are manikins wearing swimsuits.

[@AshleythetigerUK]

That 3rd Acension looks abit like MHXX, she sounds quite powerful which doesn't tend to happen with normal to Summer units, Jp Server having alot of nice additions.

[@TheStuffEnjoyer]

I still can't believe they nerfed her skill 3.

[@PlatinumKrown]

I don't know why japan likes facemasks so much, but it works out for me because asc 2 & 3 are superior to 1 anyway. I got the lancer version to np2 lvl 100 and I'm most likely doing the same for summer version, assuming I'm still playing in 2 years.

[@TheNightofWalpurgis666]

Honestly, I'd rather they retained her pierce invul from her OG than give her Earth damage bonus. It's not like she has terrible damage w/o Earth trait damage bonus as she has snowballing damage and she is compatible with Oberon.

[@talltale2055]

She's strong, if not a tad boring. In my humble opinion, the 4* this year are way more interesting than the 5* (except suzuka).

[@Dudi4PoLFr]

Well now I know that I don't need to go hard on Summer Ibuki next year. with that refund even with lower overall damage Summer Mélu will be way better for farming on 1/1/X nodes.

[@Byssbod]

They make better neutral arts loopers every year. By the time you get to roll on A. melusine, you will have already found out about three other replacements for her in JP to plan for. But I get where you're coming from. It's not like I really like SIbuki's design much myself. Melusine is really really good

It can’t be as bad as Summer Kuro because Melusine’s not a kid lol I think it’s genuinely kinda weird Melu gets the same treatment as Kuro when Melu by all accounts is just short and petite. She’s not actually meant to be a kid, she doesn’t even have the child trait. Short people exist in real life!

[@luthfimisbah5103]

Well, that's just Western being western. (They didn't know Petite legal girls exist.😅)

[@nevisysbryd7450]

The bias against petite body types as though it was somehow Pdo is pretty obnoxious. Petite adult women are a thing. I personally find it to be one of the most attractive body types at that.

[@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013]

TBH, the character's lore or background is kind of irrelevant when considering these things; she's pretty deliberately designed the same way as any of the actual 'loli' characters and is designed that way to appeal to a specific group sexually. There's a pretty big difference between how 'petite' women and children are drawn in anime, and Melusine falls pretty firmly on the latter side. That she isn't an actual child is only one or two steps better than the "is actually a 5000 year old dragon" thing. Hell, *Kuro* isn't even actually a child, she was eight when Illya was 'born' and then just spent a decade in an "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" nightmare trapped paralyzed in the back of a child's mind. I'm not saying I have any specific moral problems with Melusine, just that these kinds of semantic arguments don't actually mean much to the kind of people who do. It's important to remember that this is a work of fiction, where everything is the product of someone's deliberate design decision. Unlike real life where some people just happen to look a certain way, everything about Melusine's appearance was someone's choice, meant to appeal to a market.

I dunno it felt like the "not much variety" came from your hate of the loli fanservice. Her first ascension is her drip ascension, with more modern clothing kinda what Summer Castoria had going on with her first ascension. Her second ascension is her Lancer version's FA art, her white albion, and is more dressed than Lancers third ascension that's for sure lmao. Her third ascension is her bonkers mecha mode. Not much to say here, the visuals speak for themselves. Overall her ascension definitely have the variety I was looking for and thay FA is just peak fanservice for all Meluko enjoyers out there.
