## Hero Guide

[Virtual Body Doubles] Lostvayne Meliodas or more commonly known as Red Lostvayne Meliodas is the first Festival Hero of 7DSGC. He was released during the Half Anniversary event and can only be acquired during Festival Draws. Like pick-up events, he is a guaranteed reward after completing the loyalty gauge for spending 900 Diamonds.

Festival units are top-tier heroes and are sought after by most players. They have special characteristics that can be game-changing when used correctly. Now with Meliodas in possession of his Sacred Treasure “Demon Sword Lostvayne”, he can use his power more effectively than ever.

When enemies land a critical hit on Red Lostvayne Meliodas, all his skill cards will instantly rank up. With his base Crit Resistance at 0, he will most likely receive critical hits. His high Resistance, however, compensates for the damage received.

With cards ranked up, he fills his Ultimate Move Gauge much faster and delivers a strong Charge attack to enemies in AoE (ignores enemy Defense). Most importantly, his Ultimate deals AoE damage with attribute advantage, meaning the damage is increased by 30% regardless of the enemy’s attribute.

### Pros

* Good pick for use in Akumu, Kelak, and Einek Knighthood Boss teams
* Great to use for Tower of Trials (Ultimate rushing team)
* Equipped with a skill that can fill his own Ultimate gauge
* Ultimate comes with the effect of Secret Technique
* He ranks up his own cards with his passive
* Deals significant damage to heroes with high Defense

### Cons

* Vulnerable to attack seal units
* Low Regeneration Rate, Crit Resistance and Recovery Rate
* He relies on receiving crits for his passive
* Lacks effective card effects

## Skill Review

**Division Impact** - Has a relatively high damage multiplier, immediately imposing a threat to his enemies. At skill rank 2, it has an additional effect that increases his Ultimate Move Gauge. With his unique ability taking effect, you can use his Ultimate frequently. In PVP, set Red Lostvayne Meliodas in the leftmost slot of your main team to get the chance of naturally merging Division Impact on your first turn.

**Triple Avatar** - This AoE skill ignores the enemies’ Defense. It does not deal significant damage at rank 1, so it is usually best to keep this on your hand until it ranks up. When your unique ability activates and you have multiple “Triple Avatar” skills, you can do massive accumulated damage on the next turn.

**Ultimate: Virtual Body Doubles** - An overpowered skill that obliterates enemies regardless of their attributes. His Ultimate has the Secret Technique effect which causes additional damage with more of his cards on hand.

**Unique: Rebate** - This ability is what makes Red Lostvayne Meliodas dangerous. His Unique will increase the ranks of all of his skills when he gets hit by Crit Damage. It is best to keep his Crit Resistance at 0 to frequently activate this effect, anyway, he has a high HP and Resistance which will help reduce the total damage taken.

## Gear Recommendation

The optimal gear usage for Lostvayne Meliodas is Attack and Crit damage gear. These gear sets bring out the maximum damage output for Melidoas and utilize his kit to the fullest. Alternatively, you can run HP and Defense sets for survivability and min-max CC for Lostvayne.

Substats:

* Bracer/Ring - Attack
* Necklace/Earring -Defense
* Belt / Rune - HP

## PVP

Red Lostvayne Meliodas is a good choice for starters. Primarily used on an Ultimate rushing team, a standard Demon team, or a full 7DS team. Since Meliodas’s ultimate has a bonus scaling with how many Meliodas cards are in hand the Ultimate team helps preserve those cards and maximize Meliodas’s ultimate damage. Units commonly used in an ultimate rushing team are taunting units (Festival Red Diane, Twigod) and extra ult gauge Green Merlin in the back.

For a higher-level tier team, a full Demon team will be the play. Units like Demon Cusack, Nebula Zeldris, and Festival Estarossa all give Lostvayne Meliodas attack-related stats allowing him to land Crits easier and with higher damage output.

Since Lostvayne Meliodas is not restricted to one team and is very flexible with his kit another honorable team to mention is a full 7DS team. This team consists of Red Festival Diane, Light Festival Ban, and Festival Green Zeldris. Even though the team is missing LR Lostvayne it will still get the job done.

## PVE

**(Story / Farm / Sub-Quests / Boss)** - Although there are heroes more viable in PVE with faster clear time Red Lostvayne Meliodas can still clear most of the PVE content with ease. Lostvayne Meliodas can essentially brute force a decent amount of content with his ultimate and AOE card. Lostvayne Meliodas is most commonly used as an auto farmer for activities like Gold, Book, Enhance, and Free stages. Lostvayne Meliodas is also a good pick for Akumu, Kelak, Einek Knighthood Bosses, and Tower of Trials. Does not need support or a team built around Meliodas to output good damage as his kit is set up to achieve this.

**Demonic Beast Howlex (Crimson Demon)** - This demon is HP-type (Green) which is weak against Strength-type (Red) heroes. Since Hell difficulty only allows the use of advantageous type heroes, Mono-Red teams are highly recommended for this Death Match.

**Training Grotto** - He is mainly used to counter HP-type (Green) Illusion Ambers, especially against Level 3 stages.
