## Hero Guide

[The Boar Sin of Gluttony] Great Mage Merlin or most commonly known as Green Merlin is one of the best support heroes in the game who provides invaluable utility for those looking to quickly use team Ultimates.

She is mostly used in PVP Ult-rush teams. Her stats are outdated and make her quite easy to kill unless built up properly which is rarely done. Her unique ability alone provides great value even as a sub-unit. What makes it even better is everyone can acquire her in the Platinum Coin Shop. Saying all of this, Green Merlin is a top-priority hero to build.

### Pros

* Versatile and effective in PVP
* Can be used in the sub-slot for an additional ultimate move gauge orb at the start of the battle
* Great support in PVP for Ultimate focused teams as a sub-slot unit
* Can be acquired in the Coin Shop for free

### Cons

* Very weak as a frontline unit (Poor damage and poor defenses in all aspects) aside from her barrier
* Not used much at all outside PVP except Knighthood boss

### Skill Review

Her active skill, Spear Explosion, depletes the enemy’s ult move gauge, disabling the enemy to use its Ultimate. It only has a 120% attack multiplier at rank 1 which isn’t much, but it scales higher at rank 3 with a 450% attack multiplier and depletes 3 orbs at max.

Green Merlin’s buff, Perfect Cube, creates a Barrier for her team that lasts a couple of turns. The higher her attack stat, the more damage absorption it can provide. However, since Merlin can't do much damage anymore, it is better to use HP/DEF gear to give her as much CC as possible in PVP.

Her ultimate, Exterminate Ray, not only is a threat for Speed heroes but also disables the enemy to use Attack-type skills for 2 turns.

What makes her extra special is her unique ability. Even as a sub, Green Merlin can give the team a head start by filling the Ultimate Move Gauge of all allies by 1 orb at the start of the battle. Paired with ult food, the team will start the match with 2 extra orbs, enabling them to charge their ult gauge faster. Due to Merlin’s Unique Ability, she is a major component of every Ult-rush team, particularly with AOE Ultimates like Dark Traitor Meliodas, Green Demon Lord Rimuru Tempest, and Red Reinhard.

### Usage

**PVP** - Green Merlin has always been a top-rated PVP hero. As stated, she is commonly used in every Ult-Rush team.

**Knighthood Boss** - One of the viable options for Knighthood Boss Einek, Green Merlin can help your team rack up more points by removing Ultimate Gauge and using buffs.

## Story

Merlin is the Boar's Sin of Gluttony of the Seven Deadly Sins. She is regarded as the greatest mage in Britannia. Her Sacred Treasure is the Morning Star Aldan, a floating orb she can summon at will and often uses in conjunction with her spells and her inherent power Infinity. The name "Merlin" is actually an alias as her true name is unpronounceable to humans.
