==Strategy/Usage==
Megidora is a very good unit against Floating enemies. He can outrange many of them, and counter them with his slow/knockback effects, preventing them from advancing, a valuable aspect considering these enemies consist of many nasty, short-ranged pushers. He is also a moderate generalist thanks to his stats. However, you should protect him properly as he has a tendency to recklessly rush into frontlines due to high movement speed.
However, just like any unit with knockback, he must be used with care if Floating enemies are supported by foes of other traits, as he might knock them away and put your remaining units into the range of other threats. Unfortunately, this is the very reason he is outclassed. A great variety of accessible anti-floating options exist in the form of Cameraman, Fishman and Sanzo, who all usually do not share the issue, and their low range reduces the risks of exposure of other units to other threats.
===True Form===
God-Emperor Megidora gains higher health, attack power, attack range and movement speed. Though these boosts make him a better generalist, the movement speed increase means that Megidora will sometimes rush into enemy frontlines and die quicker. To make matters worse, his knockback count is not increased, meaning that boost in particular may be pointless.
===Talents===
It is not recommended to unlock Megidora's talents as they are extremely expensive, and don't resolve most of his issues.
The stat talents are not very important, as Megidora is typically outclassed by other units such as Ururun (440 range), and they don't offer much for what he does. Wave Attacks do allow him to have a bigger impact due to his relatively fast attack rate and high damage, but the chances are too low for any meaningful answers.
Knockback and Curse Immunity are all the better options, as Megidora is vulnerable to curse and his attacks do not have guaranteed effects. Unfortunately, as useful as they can be, Megidora does not stand well to Relics and could only be situationally used when Relic Doge Base is the main threat. Boosting his knockback allows him to hinder pushers better, but that's how far it goes, since the aforementioned anti-Floating units actually do better without knockback due to their low range, and they can eliminate many Floating enemies anyway. 
While his Ultra Talents don't expand Megidora much, he sees slightly better matchups. Target Metal is straight-up useless for the same reason he is outclassed against Floating enemies, but Target Relic is a decent one if his Curse Immunity talent has been purchased, as he can potentially delay many Relics that he outranges. Cost Down, while good to have due to his high cost, isn't necessary with the extreme cooldown time he has.

==Trivia==
*Prior to Version 4.7, Megidora was a part of another Cat Combo called Dragon Emperors.
*Megidora is the first ever Dragon Emperor.
*Megidora's name is possibly derived from the ancient city of Megiddo, which is one of the root words of Armageddon (Hill of Megiddo). Armageddon is the prophesied location of a gathering of armies for a battle during the end times as described in the Book of Revelation, but its name is more frequently used in a generic sense to describe any end of the world scenario. It is also worth noting that a dragon is mentioned in at least one description of Armageddon, albeit as an agent of Satan and not a holy/divine being.
*God-Emperor Megidora was one of the first 6 Uber Rares to receive Talents, the others being Immortal Nobunaga, Immortal Shingen, Divine Windy, Divine Thundia and God-Emperor Sodom.
**Likewise, he was one of the first units to get Ultra Talents, alongside Divine Kuu and Inferno Akira.
