PROS:
**Superior movement/evasion capability with 35 wlk+hopper carts
You can literally outmaneuver ANYTHING at this level of mobility.
No boost bar to worry about either, since you are WLK based.

**26 force/36 dmg arrow rain, 25 force/35 dmg EMP arrows. (editted)
We are talking about cumulative 3-digit damage arrow rains on direct hits.
EMP arrows will hit like a truck too.

**11 arrows (150*11=1650 HP heal). [3300 with a single reload]
With Rone/Orin it's [100+(5*60)] * 11=4400 HP healed per single ammo clip [8800 with a single reload+extender]
If you don't understand what I'm implying here, I am implying that a single heal arrow is enough to fully repair an average robot if there is a extender around.

**Nearly 500 HP
Compliant with current 5-600HP meta baseline standards for survival.

**All breakpoints for damage/mobility/toughness are met.
Aesthetically pleasing, although I can't really say as much for the Ace Braver BS.

CONS:
The price tag.

Have fun???

i dont want to be a party pooper but:
im not really impressed with that build. i mean, sure, it is stronger than your usual melphi but it is in >no way< worth its >cost< when compared with your usual melphi either

on a sidenote: tech does not raise the FORCE, it MULTIPLIES it to calculate the DAMAGE

thats a major difference for mathematic reasons when factoring in toughness, well, its pretty obvious that you just used the wrong word there so, yeah

Looks fine if you're aiming for combat Melfi, but I personally wouldn't do a build like this considering tec isn't going to increase your healing or strengthen your debuff.

The less tunes that go into Melfi, the more efficient she is (to a point).

The ribbon's model will overlap with her pigtail. Ace braver BS is ugly and not even Rt exclusive. You also forgot to add a fireflower to make the bow sparkle. Default parts and non overlapping accs or GTFO ._.

Build is "ok".

Yeah, my bad on the TEC. *corrected*

Lets explain a bit more regarding costs then. Melfi's costs comes from tuning her mobility, healing, and damage.

MOBILITY
As far as Melfis go, with that level of mobility, playing as pure healer who focuses only on evasion shouldn't die anyways.
My pure-healer Melfi generally dies only once every 10-15 matches, and only because the opposition literally has enough OP to spawn camp you with impunity or you are in an extremely bad/dumb situation.
The cost of tuning for mobility is non-negotiable, unless its about the EX part of the tunes.

For Suguri:

Spoiler:

HEALING
I don't count cost when what I can do outweights my death easily, ESPECIALLY when it comes to Repair Arrows.
Let me illustrate a classic scenario that is usually taught to Melfi users as regards to ammo tuning.

>Ammo Tuned Melfi (original) has 5 more arrows, that's 500 HP more.

>Assuming the 3 people cost 1k BP each, you have kept these 3 people living just that much longer by repairing their HP.

>Assuming they all die if you didn't repair them, their 3 deaths=3k BP, which outweighs the extra 90 cost tacked onto your Melfi for the 3x Great Supply tunes.

>You usually wont score any stars on your head if you play as healer anyways, so that extra 90 really won't bite you in the ass even if you happen to bite the dust.

>Also. You find an ammo clip. You are now equal to 3 untuned Melfis now with 30 arrows total.

That's the rationale behind ignoring supply tune costs on Repair Arrows and going all outs on supply tunes.

DAMAGE
This is what's warranting 2/3 of the capacity tunes at least, and thus cost bloat/criticism.
Nevertheless, let me explain.

Melfi's skills enable her to "combat support", not "rambo like a MBG".
Assuming you know where and when to rain on the enemy, you can do *heavy* damage while staying relatively safe yourself. Burst fire is for those opportunities when you know you can pull off consecutive rains for massive damage.

EMP arrow on its own is also a functionally damaging weapon now with sufficient TEC tunes, although its primary purpose is for the debuff (which isn't empowered by higher TEC as Suguri says).

This decision for damage inclusion really just comes down to personal experience and opinion really.
Since I know I can utilize arrow rain/EMP while keeping myself alive, I can/will outperform my cost.

It would be easy to tune a Melfi for only pure healing; this added cost comes from incorporating damage as well, making Melfi an all-rounder kind of bot that has high damage output and debuff despite being a support/healer class.

ADDENDUM
Right now the main issue with Melfi's sub-weapons is that they are grounding, meaning you literally stop/drop/fall mid-hop when you use her arrow rain or EMP.
It's like the difference between nicole skull and regular nicole. One can use her drain sub while moving, the former cannot. If Melfi was fixed in this manner, she could play far more aggressively while maintaining mobility instead of only doing the equivalent of artillery strikes at certain points.

You might as well tune Melfi up the wazoo since you cant beat a disposable mediger am2 bot for efficiency

y putting objections concerning aestetics, when the thread is about the actual build?

@Rea, whilst I think that you are looking for an offensive way of using melfi, I can't help but wonder the use of it. Ideally, melfi would like to heal allies on the battlefield, whilst staying mobile enough to avoid melee who hunt camping sups. I doubt you need that much tec either.

You just answered your own question :3

Two things to mention i guess.
1) other builds should be in its own thread (entitled "low cost/low efficiency healers" perhaps?)
2) those things aren't actually viable

You have efficiency, but not mobility nor survivability.
Even Suguri's mediger build has 3 mobility carts (Accel roll, even) and broad radar.
Minimal cost builds do not work on the basis that one hit from a nova/zero fucks them up the ass.

forget nova or zero

one anything is going to mutilate those

Why do you have a Power tune on there when you can just replace the EX High Tech Alpha with EX High Tec and get 5 more HP?

...But then you'll be 3 HP away from 500. ;-;

Yeah there's a lot of inefficiencies in this build. You can get higher stats and same ammo with considerably less cost. I didn't exactly feel like pointing that out prior because at the time I didn't feel like this was the route you should be taking with Melfi Heart in the first place.

Then I saw her Arrow Rain on a stream and changed my mind.

That actually proves my point if anything, but okay.

living through half the match and healing almost 2k while dying for 300 somehow proves your point?

you'd be an idiotic fool to assume that was the only time i got hit that entire match by the way

your argument doesn't really help when Opfor is 2nd place, has 3000+ points in support and still hasn't died. (Damage is significantly lower than support, so therefore, it has to be a healer bot or something.)

Or when you can 5-digit support 0-cost easy with Regina+Rone or Melfi Heart.

0 merit, no proof for someone who lags that hard.

Turkeysaur, to whom are you addressing? It seems a bit out of the blue.

OpFor. Infamous for being one of the laggier players.

Oh. Yeah, now that you mention it...
