Let's talk about this potent Swordfighter. Best unit composition for Melisandre In\u00a0Unicorn Overlord, Melisandre's strengths involve\u00a0soloing lower health and armor units\u00a0while\u00a0dodging most attacks\u2014especially melee.\u00a0However, her weaknesses come from her\u00a0low health and Physickal Resistance, making her take a lot of damage when she gets hit, and her low armor penetration. We suggest pairing her with\u00a0great defensive units, like Fighters and Hoplites, as well as\u00a0Warriors or Wizards, to hammer through heavier armor characters. The following classes can have great synergy with Melisandre strategies: All Cavalry: Cavalry units work great as backups for Melisandre. Not only do horses bring her to the frontline faster, but Melisandre is excellent at putting infantry into critical condition for a Cavalry unit to walk all over\u2014especially when built to tank a hit, like we prefer. Flying units like Hilda can also work, since Melisandre naturally counters enemy fliers. Fighters\/Vanguard: Colm is paired with Melisandre for a reason. Hunters and other highly accurate characters can carve holes through Swordmaster formations. They are also more specialized than Hoplites at defending these squishy targets. Magic Users\/Warrior: Punching through armor is a big problem for Melisandre. It usually requires her to find very specific gear, which has its own downsides. Pairing her with Wizards, Witches, or even\u00a0a Priestess like Scarlett\u00a0can help her cover weak matchups. Warriors work similarly well and can honestly be even better if you plan to run multiple Physickal buffs for the unit. We recommend running Melisandre as a frontliner. While she serves well on the backline, many of her passives let her automatically dodge attacks. As long as you pair her against melee combatants, she'll be fine, gaining AP for catching melee attacks and getting a relatively easy dodge every now-and-then. Best equipment types for Melisandre Melisandre has one Sword slot and two Accessory slots as a Swordfighter and keeps these equipment types as a Swordmaster. We recommend the following for her: Weapon\u2014Healing or Crit Rate: Swords like the Sanguine Blade can keep Melisandre alive if she gets clipped by a Hunter or Magic user during scrambles. However, The Stingray is an excellent option for improving Critical Hits and guaranteeing K.O.'s against Mages and squishier Infantry. We recommend the latter, though the former is great for some comps. Accessory One\u2014Health: The Swordfighter suffers from a massively reduced health pool compared to most frontliners. To compensate, a +10 Health item like the Vitality Talisman can work wonders early on. Relying on her to dodge everything vaguely dangerous isn't the best idea, but you can throw an evasion item here instead if you're the gambling type. \u00a0Accessory Two\u2014Damage:\u00a0Swordfighters hit often, so raw damage can be very useful. The Warrior's Medallion is a good choice for a Melisandre who plans on tearing through backrows, with that extra crit improving her Hastened Strike and Impale. Keep up with improvements to your damage slot, as her relatively low Phys. ATK Growth can be fixed with a good enough Accessory. Best conditions for Melisandre We like Melisandre as a\u00a0high-damage enemy softener that allows Cavalry units to sweep up.\u00a0That said, there's no reason she can't grab a kill every now and then with the right conditions prepared. Here are a few conditions we recommend for Melisandre: Keen Edge\u2014Scout Enemies Present, Target HP

Let's talk about this potent Swordfighter. Best unit composition for Melisandre In\u00a0Unicorn Overlord, Melisandre's strengths involve\u00a0soloing lower health and armor units\u00a0while\u00a0dodging most attacks\u2014especially melee.\u00a0However, her weaknesses come from her\u00a0low health and Physickal Resistance, making her take a lot of damage when she gets hit, and her low armor penetration. We suggest pairing her with\u00a0great defensive units, like Fighters and Hoplites, as well as\u00a0Warriors or Wizards, to hammer through heavier armor characters. The following classes can have great synergy with Melisandre strategies: All Cavalry: Cavalry units work great as backups for Melisandre. Not only do horses bring her to the frontline faster, but Melisandre is excellent at putting infantry into critical condition for a Cavalry unit to walk all over\u2014especially when built to tank a hit, like we prefer. Flying units like Hilda can also work, since Melisandre naturally counters enemy fliers. Fighters\/Vanguard: Colm is paired with Melisandre for a reason. Hunters and other highly accurate characters can carve holes through Swordmaster formations. They are also more specialized than Hoplites at defending these squishy targets. Magic Users\/Warrior: Punching through armor is a big problem for Melisandre. It usually requires her to find very specific gear, which has its own downsides. Pairing her with Wizards, Witches, or even\u00a0a Priestess like Scarlett\u00a0can help her cover weak matchups. Warriors work similarly well and can honestly be even better if you plan to run multiple Physickal buffs for the unit. We recommend running Melisandre as a frontliner. While she serves well on the backline, many of her passives let her automatically dodge attacks. As long as you pair her against melee combatants, she'll be fine, gaining AP for catching melee attacks and getting a relatively easy dodge every now-and-then. Best equipment types for Melisandre Melisandre has one Sword slot and two Accessory slots as a Swordfighter and keeps these equipment types as a Swordmaster. We recommend the following for her: Weapon\u2014Healing or Crit Rate: Swords like the Sanguine Blade can keep Melisandre alive if she gets clipped by a Hunter or Magic user during scrambles. However, The Stingray is an excellent option for improving Critical Hits and guaranteeing K.O.'s against Mages and squishier Infantry. We recommend the latter, though the former is great for some comps. Accessory One\u2014Health: The Swordfighter suffers from a massively reduced health pool compared to most frontliners. To compensate, a +10 Health item like the Vitality Talisman can work wonders early on. Relying on her to dodge everything vaguely dangerous isn't the best idea, but you can throw an evasion item here instead if you're the gambling type. \u00a0Accessory Two\u2014Damage:\u00a0Swordfighters hit often, so raw damage can be very useful. The Warrior's Medallion is a good choice for a Melisandre who plans on tearing through backrows, with that extra crit improving her Hastened Strike and Impale. Keep up with improvements to your damage slot, as her relatively low Phys. ATK Growth can be fixed with a good enough Accessory. Best conditions for Melisandre We like Melisandre as a\u00a0high-damage enemy softener that allows Cavalry units to sweep up.\u00a0That said, there's no reason she can't grab a kill every now and then with the right conditions prepared. Here are a few conditions we recommend for Melisandre: Keen Edge\u2014Scout Enemies Present, Target HP
