Review

Melania is a unique Damage Dealer whose main mechanic revolves around stealing Moxie from enemies, and building up her own ultimate's power. This gives her two possible roles in a team; The first one, for those who don't want to or can't invest much on her, consists on focusing on shutting down enemies. This role works as a Sub-DPS and is better suited for short battles and the Early Game, since Melania takes quite a few rounds to build up her stacks and unleash her full power. 

The second role, and the one she's been designed for, is focused on Burst DMG. Although she may seem to lag a bit behind her peers of similar role and rarity at first, that's merely a facade. True to her lore and character, Melania is all about careful planning and building up before hitting her target with overwhelming might. 

Her first skill, “Silent Takedown” can literally steal Moxie from the target. This is her main tool to shut down enemies while gaining extra Moxie for herself. This allows Melania to use her Ultimate almost back to back. Most of the time, however, players will likely only have access to this skill at level 2, which is already good enough to fulfill its role regardless if Melania is the main damage dealer of the team or not. 

The second skill, “Clockwork Rats”, has a fixed leech rate of +20%, and can go up to +50% if under [Thief Master] status. At three stars, this mass attack skill has a base multiplier of 300%, and under [Thief Master] it also gives +1 Moxie to the caster. Under these ideal conditions, 300% multiplier with 50% leech rate is the same as Eternity's ultimate, the difference here being, “Clockwork Rats” is a skill that you can spam more easily and Melania doesn't sacrifice her own HP to attack. 

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Great continuous single-target burst DMG.

  • Can be used to suppress enemies by stealing their Moxie.

  • Very self-sufficient, is great and cycling her own Ultimate and staying alive.

Cons

  • Incantations don’t do great DMG, entirely reliant on Ultimate for this.

  • Takes a bit to ramp up to her full DMG potential.

  • DMG potential isn’t as high as newer Damage Dealers.

“Luxurious Leisure” is considered Melania's BiS (Best in Slot) as it was tailored for the way her kit works. "Another Story" is a good pick especially for short battles. Melania won't be able to make use of the second half of its passive, but the first half already gives a consistent bonus to her overall DMG output, considering that Melania will almost always use rank 2/3 incantations.

“The Carat of the Heart” is a good option for higher levels if the player wants to try out a crit-oriented build on Melania.
