Melania — Review & Analysis
Melania is a single-target Beast-Afflatus DPS (6-star) dealing Mental DMG that snowballs the longer a fight lasts. Her Ultimate Ritual Till The End lands a heavy single hit while stacking [Set Plan] (+12% Ritual power each cast, up to 6 stacks, undispellable), so her power keeps climbing turn after turn. The Ultimate also grants [Deft Thief] to Enhance her next Incantation, forming a self-fueling loop: her skills steal the enemy's Moxie and feed her own, disrupting enemy Ultimates while charging her own.
- High single-target burst: Ultimate reaches 800% Mental DMG (full Insight), further scaled by [Set Plan] that climbs with every Ultimate cast.
- Moxie manipulation: her skills steal the enemy's Moxie and grant her own — stalling enemy Ultimates while accelerating her own rotation.
- Self-fueling [Deft Thief] loop: the Ultimate Enhances the next Incantation, and Enhanced hits grant Moxie plus lifesteal, keeping the chain running smoothly.
- Self-sustain: Clockwork Rat Plague adds lifesteal (extra 30% when Enhanced), letting Melania heal herself without a dedicated healer.
- Countered by Star: as a Beast unit she takes +30% DMG from Star-Afflatus enemies and, being a squishy DPS, breaks easily against them.
- Ramp-dependent: she needs several Ultimate casts to build enough [Set Plan] and keep the [Deft Thief] loop going, so in short or burst-check fights her power hasn't peaked yet.
Level the Ultimate first: it is both her main damage source (up to 800%) and the engine that stacks [Set Plan] and grants [Deft Thief] to kick off the whole loop. Next, raise Slip Through the Gap (Skill 1) to maximize single-target damage and Moxie theft. For Psychubes, pick offensive / DMG-boost / crit options to push her burst ceiling; since she already lifesteals through Skill 2, there's no need to force a healing Psychube — go all-in on output.

Where to Get
Teams with Melania
Melania and Regulus both key off Moxie and Ultimate — the faster Moxie fills, the more often their Ultimates fire. Vila carries the same Moxie/Ultimate tag and adds Heal + Sturdy so the chain never stalls. Rubuska closes the loop with a Moxie-tagged heal that keeps everyone topped up between Ults.
