Key Attributes:

• Amplifies the Nightsisters’ Plague application and revives
• Add effective Protection Recovery to this heal heavy team
• Provides reactive cleanses to keep debuffs off her team
• Aids Nightsisters in weathering the storm of current counters

Inspiration:

• This is the version that hounds Cal Kestis on his journey through Dathomir
• (Spoiler Alert) Merrin’s battle alongside Cal gave us her Special Ability Dathomir Will Be Your Grave, which she uses to defeat Taron Malicos 
• Merrin’s ability to come and go with alacrity was the inspiration for the Shadow Stride and Magick Stealth
• Nightsisters!!

Strategy Tips:

• User Shadow Stride to preemptively defend against debuffs and prepare to revive a Nightsister
• Merrin is a unique character in Galaxy of Heroes. She has 0 Speed and can’t gain Turn Meter unless an ally is debuffed, defeated, or revived. In order to effectively use her, you will need to use her abilities strategically. She was built from the ground up to support her sisters through her abilities with revives and Plague spread.
• Don’t use your speed mods here
• Plague distribution from Unique 2 is dependant of the Potency of the revived character
