Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you. I am the poster.
I received my third vaccination last month. I tried my best to make meals while suffering from side effects.
Perhaps because my head wasn’t moving, I managed to grate my finger on it. I’ll be more careful in the future.
So, let’s get on with it.
I would be more than happy if this article was a good way to kill time for you.
Aircraft Strategy: Merlin
Basic information
Affiliation: Empire of Great Britain
Development: Teikoku Kogyo
Basic status
Durability: 6800 Weight: 113 Size: 7.3×7.9 Speed: 93
Frame characteristics Prophet + Destiny
Now, let’s take a look at the frame, which is said to be the essence of performance.
frame effect
Frame 1: Prophet
- : Applies one “prophecy” effect to all enemies once per second. Can be stacked. If an enemy that deals damage when an ally receives damage has a “prophecy” effect, you can consume three “prophecies” to negate the damage received. In the case of Merlin, only one “prophecy” is consumed”
Frame 2: Destiny
- “When entering a battle, designate one ally other than your own aircraft. If the designated aircraft is for close combat, the pilot’s fighting and defense status will increase by 200 points, and the final defense power will increase by 20%. If it is for medium and long range, the pilot’s shooting and reaction status will increase by 200 points, and the final attack power will increase by 20%. The designation effect is valid until the end of the battle. You can only designate the same ally once.”
What is it? This damn long frame! ! It’s not Yu〇Oh! ! There’s no way you can remember! ! ! !
So let’s summarize it briefly!
frame
- Once every three seconds, randomly nullify damage to one ally (once per second if Merlin is the target), specify and strengthen one ally at the start of battle
In other words, this is what it means!
Next, I’d like to look at the performance of various weapons, but it’s just a list of data, so if you’re not interested, feel free to skip it.

| Counterattack Technique – Fairy Flash | 13 seconds | Fairies guidance. After that, Fairy Curse is immediately loaded and fires 7 shots. One flash part: Beam attribute basic damage 600 x 1 hit, down, blow away, collision safety percentage damage of around 2%. Invincible during motion. |
| Super Special Move – Teiki System | 20 seconds | Enters G mode with a magnification of 25% and instantly loads weapons other than Fairy Curse while warping, and attacks continuously while firing. Invincible during motion. |
| Super Special Move – The Great Twelve | 24 seconds | Deploys a magic circle and summons the illusions of the Imperial Knights to perform continuous attacks, while the main body uses Fairies guidance to form a large beam blade and mowing down. Beam attribute basic damage 500×4+600×2+900×2 With collision rate damage of around 34-38%. Invincible during motion. |
Arena formation
Recommended Marina formation
| Core | bullet | Auxiliary | Armored | painting | PET | Deputy candidate 1 | Deputy candidate 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Charge Blade | sloped armor | Iron Shell | Smoke, Raven | Karol, Shinya Aiba etc. |
explanation
As for its position, its overall firepower is modest, but its obstruction and support capabilities are high, making it more of an auxiliary vanguard.The pilot chose Helja, who has excellent defensive abilities, because she is the type that can do the job just by being alive.
The fact that the absolute avoidance skill “Psychic Conveyor” and Merlin’s frame effect “Prophet” can coexist is also good.
Regarding the core, the strongest action has a CD of 24 seconds, so if the CD of the strongest action is longer than 21 seconds, Energized Core is better because it has a higher shortening effect than conduction core.
Candidates for bullets include powerful energy-absorbing bullets that absorb a percentage of damage and increase survivability, Fairy Feather, which has a high interfering effect, and Charge Blade, which increases Fairy Wind’s rotation rate and improves its overall firepower.The auxiliary parts are a psychic conveyor, and an emergency separation device is used as insurance in case it evades the Prophet and is hit with high-firepower techniques.
As for the armor, in the current environment (as of April 2022), the Nightmare MK3, which deals a powerful percentage damage of over 3% per hit, is rampant, so a hard shell is safe.
As for paint, choose from volatile metal paint to cover its vulnerability in the early stages, or sloped armor that goes well with hard shells.
The pet should be GA29, which provides knockdown resistance, which is important in the vanguard, and Iron Shell, which blocks everything except the front, if sloped armor is used.For the adjutant, it would be best to increase their survivability with the ultimate damage reduction ability that reduces percentage damage for the same reason as armor, or with a flash return light that has a powerful reviving effect. It depends on the other formations, but support adjutant “Ai” may also be good.
Aircraft Operation
Basically, it functions as a support and a hindrance.
The attack nullification caused by the prophecy of the frame effect “Prophet” is extremely powerful, and it can coexist with the frame effect “Quantization” of Nightmare MK3 and Snowflake MK3, which have a high adoption rate in the current environment (as of April 2022), so their survivability can be further increased.Another advantage is that while Uru’s aircraft action “Irving Barrier” is being used to create a barrier for all allies, it is easy to accumulate prophecy counts before the barrier is broken.
Also, in terms of interference, in the current environment, countermeasures against status abnormalities are often taken using the secret of Koto’s skill “Friendship”, but since Merlin’s Fairy Wind cannot be prevented with the skills mentioned above, it can also be useful in terms of interference.
(If Fairy Wind becomes rampant, countermeasures may be taken in the future.)
Overall, it can be expected to have synergy or meta with the current environment aircraft, so it is a model that can be introduced with relative priority.
Summary
That’s why! ! Introducing Merlin’s new aircraft! ! !
I really like the look of this aircraft, so I had fun looking at it too lol
We will continue to update regularly, so please stay tuned!
