Strategy

The Melter's defining threat is costume dissolution — it can forcibly remove equipped costumes mid-combat, collapsing your Posture stack and disabling active Combos. Avoid committing expensive, high-Posture costumes before the dissolution window. Prioritise disposable or zero-cost outfit cards (such as Night Sky Bikini Top) that can be cycled without catastrophic loss. Rebuild Posture aggressively after the dissolution resolves.

Tips

  • Don't invest heavy Posture-stacking costumes before the dissolution window — they'll be stripped.
  • Night Sky Bikini Top (0-cost) is ideal as a throwaway costume to absorb dissolution.
  • After dissolution resolves, rebuild Posture quickly with Lionheart Battle Tunic or Skirt of Ascension.
  • Ethereal Waltz Dodge can skip the dissolution turn entirely if timed correctly.
