Strategy Guide/Tips[edit]
- Write tips here!
- All eldrid despite not having shields can gain them through items. Mellka benefits from this more than any other eldrid due to her ability to harass and skirmish. Adding a cheap item to her load out that provides a shield bonus greatly improves her ability to skirmish and general survival in pvp.
- Mellka's abilities are best used for mobility than for straight up damage. Be unpredictable, be mobile, be extremely hard to hit while you let your DOTs do your thing. A great escape move is to use Spike, aim up in the air, and then use Claw Lunge to sail great distances, away from foes and out of sticky situations you may have found yourself in.
- Mellka's grenades fly farther than you might think. It's possibly to nail people in the Overgrowth sniper box from the safety of your own sniper box once you get used to the incredibly trajectory of her poison grenades.
- Harass, not kill. Reduce enemy Battleborn's HP, force them out of the lane, or get them to hastily retreat or summon their fellows; you may not have a great kill streak, but you will be a great help for your team.
