Longsword Meliodas Strategy Tips

Deals High Damage During Burst

Longsword Meliodas is an Attacker who deals high damage to enemies affected by Darkness Burst. Since each of his skills and his Passive have effects that trigger during a Darkness Burst, you should trigger a different Element's Burst, then switch to Meliodas to activate Darkness Burst.

Tip!

The Darkness Element can only be activated while another Element's Burst is active.

Grants Himself a Darkness Attack Buff

Can Grant Himself a Darkness Attack Buff

With his Special Attack, Meliodas can greatly increase his own Darkness Attack. Hitting an enemy with an active Darkness Burst maximizes the buff granted, so make sure to use it as soon as the Burst is triggered..

Attacks Recover Magic Gauge

The Longsword’s Normal Skill restores Magic Gauge each time you attack an enemy affected by Darkness Burst. This allows you to use your Ultimate Move more quickly, and since its damage is increased while Darkness Burst is active, you can deal damage more efficiently.

Axe Meliodas Strategy Tips

An Attacker Who Can Inflict the Darkness Effect

Axe Meliodas is an Attacker who can inflict "Demon Energy" with his Special Attack and Ultimate Move. The Demon Energy state wears off over time, and you can deal massive damage when it does. His Ultimate Move's damage increases with fewer targets, making it effective against single bosses.

Can Teleport Behind Enemies to Attack

The Axe's Normal Skill allows him to teleport behind an enemy inflicted with Demon Energy and attack. It is powerful because the skill's Cooldown is reset and it removes the enemy's Demon Energy to deal damage, allowing him to deal damage while dodging enemy attacks.

Deal Massive Damage by Using the Normal Skill Consecutively

Thanks to his Passive, you can expect to deal massive damage by continuously hitting with his Normal Skill. You need to inflict Demon Energy 3 times before the Passive effect expires, so focus on repeatedly performing the combo of inflicting Demon Energy with an Ultimate Move or Special Attack, then using the skill.

Dual Swords Meliodas Strategy Tips

An Attacker Who Shows His True Potential During Burst

Dual Swords Meliodas is an Attacker who can enter the 'Demonic Power' state during Darkness Element Burst thanks to his Passive. He can continuously heal while fighting, which stabilizes his performance against strong enemies. It also acts as a damage buff by increasing damage dealt.

Gains Various Effects When Buffed

When the Demonic Power is applied to himself, his Normal Skill, Special Attack, and Ultimate Move gain additional effects. These are powerful effects, such as increased damage dealt, HP Recovery, and skill CT reduction, so try to activate Darkness Element Burst as quickly as possible.

Has Good Synergy with Grimoire Bug

It is recommended to have Dual Swords Meliodas in a party with Grimoire Bug. Grimoire Bug can apply a Curse effect to increase the Darkness Element Damage dealt to enemies, which allows Meliodas to deal massive damage.
