  • Melchio's Leader skill is great to use at Arena and Metal Parades, but there are better leader skills for Trials, GGC, and Raids.
  • Its attack animation is very fast, making it easier to spark with other units. Due to high overall drop check (max 48BC) when attacking, Melchio is very useful when it used at Arena to provide BC generation.
  • Melchio's Arena type is pretty good for arena, meaning that its BB or SBB will be used regardless of the position.
  • Its Brave Burst is a no joke, providing cure and negate ailments, Light attack buff, and all element (except Dark) attack for 22BC. Meanwhile the damage is a bit high (Although 250% is standard for *7 units) compared to BC requirement. The all element attack is one of the Melchio's perks for Arena and Raids, making every hit (except for Light units / parts) more painful than ever.
  • On the other hand, for extra 20 BC you can get the same buff as BB with an extra Def bonus relative to how high your Atk is. 30% of your unit's total Atk (combined with other increasing Atk buff, but not another stat to Atk convresion buff) is converted to Def. All other Def buff besides conversion one stacks each other. The bonus Def from its SBB is very useful since hard contents now need more than a mitigator. Do take a note that the Def buff from conversion does not add up to total unit Def when it's used for another conversion buff (ex: Def conversion to Atk). The only downside is the damage is a bit lower than other *7 SBB (450%) but it's reasonable because its SBB only requires 42BC.
  • However, all of the utility that Melchio gives lack one thing, which is UBB. Its UBB is kind of the same with BB + 75% mitigation for one turn. If you're looking for the 75% mitigation, there are many units' UBB that are worth mentioning (ex: Aaron, Krantz, Medina, Elimo, etc) other than Melchio.
  • Melchio's Extra Skill is what makes it useful in hard contents. Melchio is known to be a status nulifier unit, not an status cleansing unit. Almost in every hard content, buff removal is a common thing. If Melchio only gives status prevention, your squad is susceptible to ailments. If Melchio is equipped with White Armor, it gains bonus 20% all parameter. Total of 50% attack & def with status nulifier and no element based extra damage.
  • You can use another sphere combination beside from White Armor to compensate with low HP (only 20% bonus if you're using White Armor) or put an EX Trial Sphere (such as Fallacy / Heresy Orb) together. Some combination spheres that I could think of: Prized Light + Piany Flower, Status Sphere (Malice Jewel, etc) + Cosmic Dust (need more suggestions)

Overall, Melchio is a good status nulifier and cleanser unit providing defensive buff to your party. Its damage is also quite high due to its multi elemental BB / SBB / UBB. It can be used at almost every content in the game. You can compare it with another status prevention units such as Sargavel, Kanon, Rinon, Aurelia, and others because they have other utilities.
