== Recommended Traits & Badges ==
As a general shooter, Merle can be made either offensive (all-round shooter) or defensive (for GW PvP and Outpost). However, Merle's original traits and weak Leader Trait means it is recommended to make him one of the defensive Heroes.
* Offensive Merle: Critical Aim, Marksman, Ruthless, Lukcy. Dmg + Crit Dmg badges. This requires all his original traits to be rerolled.
* Defensive Merle: Bullet Dodge, Critical Aim, Lucky, Retaliate (or Revenge). DR + Health Badges. This requires two traits to be rerolled (Dodge and Iron Skin).
== How to use Merle ==
Merle is best used as a PvP specialist, being part of the attacking team in GW PvP missions and in Outpost raids. In these cases the weapon of choice is either a long range incendiary weapon (especially the long-range flare gun) or the Pulverizer. Short-range weapons can work well in Outpost attacks, while longer range is preferred in GW PvP missions with their mostly much larger maps,
While Merle of course also could be rerolled and badged into full offensive mode there are much better heroes for this, mainly Yumiko and Quinn.
