Meruru (Damsel in Distress): Speed Demon with High Damage Potential

Meruru (Damsel in Distress) excels as a speedy attacker who can rack up impressive damage through various buffs and abilities. Her strength lies in low 'waiting time' skills and the ability to boost her own firepower without relying on external support.

High-Speed Assault

  • Meruru's Skill 3 may be complex, but mastering it allows her to attack more frequently, gaining a significant edge in battle.
  • Her Skill 1 and Skill 2 synergize to increase her damage output by up to 80%, making her a self-sufficient attacker.

Buffing for Battle

  • Meruru (Damsel in Distress) thrives in long-drawn-out battles due to her ability to stack buffs with her skills and abilities. This makes her particularly useful in multi-wave stages and boss battles that demand sustained DPS.
  • Her unique ability, "Princess Rush," further enhances her performance by increasing her magic attack and defense upon defeating an enemy with a skill. This boosts both her offensive and defensive capabilities.

Gift of Power

  • Meruru's gift effect offers a valuable "Single Attack Power Up" buff that can only be applied through synthesizing. It's a perfect choice when synthesizing equipment for characters who specialize in high-damage single-target attacks for example Valeria (Secret Amnesia) and also my favourite character, Ryza (One Summer Story).

Low-waiting-time Skills & Burst

  • This character boasts skill sets with low 'wait', allowing her to perform frequent attacks.
  • Her burst skill also boasts a low 'wait' of 150, plus a 50% Speed boost (1-turn), Meruru's Burst Skill makes her an excellent high-speed attacker.
  • This, combined with her increased agility, solidifies her role as a dominant speed attacker.
