Guide for Melee

A Melee is the most straightforward role. Their main objective is to deal a high amount of damage using two Lost Action buffs that increase overall damage output. Pure Essence of the Duelist + Banner of Honored Sacrifice, Melees will lose 1HP per tick, have a higher damage Potency banner and extended banner duration to 30 seconds. Unlike outside of Delubrum Reginae, where the bleed inflicted from using the banner without the Pure Essence may be dangerous.

There are only two setups for the Melee combination in DRS: Melees assigned to Rend Armor and full DPS.

Raid Lost Actions (Rend Armor)

DRSC roster 2 Melees in the entire raid to bring along Lost Rend Armor: a debuff that is inflicted on the boss for 30 seconds and 10% increased damage received. This is similar to the Ninja's Trick attack.

All other Melees who are not assigned to this role, do not bring Rend Armor.

Primary Action #1: Lost Rend Armor
Primary Action #2: Banner of Honored Sacrifice

Mandatory Holster

Pure Essence of the Duelist
Resistance Reraiser
Banner of Honored Sacrifice
Lost Protect / Shell

Primary Action #1: Banner of Honored Sacrifice
Primary Action #2: Lost Font of Power

Melee Assignment via Spreadsheet

All assignments of strategy are found on the spreadsheet.

When the organizer announced the confirmation of the roster, everyone needs to familiarize themselves with the assignments given. Melee players might have Special Lost Actions to bring like Lost Rend Armor (if allocated).

Melees in Slimes

As a DPS in Slimes, you are assigned to individual rooms. Check the spreadsheet specifically where you are assigned to. There should be 3 DPS per room.

Melees in Golems

As a DPS in Golems, your sole purpose is to kill the golems in a specific order, avoid traps and follow the callouts.

Lost Actions Strategy (Rend Duty)

Trash #1 - Slimes / Golems

Primary Action: Banner of Honored Sacrifice
Secondary Action: Lost Rend Armor

Trash #2 - Dahu

Maintain the same loadout

Trash #3 - Phantom

Maintain the same loadout

Trash #4 - Minotaur

Maintain the same loadout

Lost Actions Strategy (Melees)

Boss #1 - Trinity Seeker

Primary Action: Banner of Honoured Sacrifice
Secondary Action: Lost Font of Power

Boss #2 - Chess Pieces

Maintain the same loadout

Boss #3 - Trinity Avowed

Maintain the same loadout

Boss #4 - Queen

Maintain the same loadout

Melee's Duty Actions loadout is very simple, keep enough Banner of Honoured Sacrifice, Lost Font of Power and Rend Armor (allocated duty) with enough stacks in your holster. The remaining slots can be for Mimic (explanations here) to refresh the charges of both Duty Actions.

Guide on Trash Fights

Trash #1 - Slimes

Red Slimes only
- Deal as much damage as possible fast.
- Can aggro in melee distance but do not let Red Slimes be near any Green slime. Pull them away.
- Red slime can fuse with Red and Green slime.
- 1 Melee will be assigned to take the North Soldier. Holding enmity by doing damage is sufficient. Hellish Slash is a point black AOE around the trash that can be stunned.

Trash #1 - Golems

- All DPS in Golems will focus target on bicolored golems in a specific kill order. Blue > Green > Red > White.
- Beware of any traps when moving around.
- Save burst for Red Golem on the platform at 10% HP
- Save burst for White Golem on the platform at 30% HP while using Compaction.

Trash #2 - Dahu

Multiple AOE areas to dodge with little safe places.
Don't be greedy and dodge accordingly.

Trash #3 - Phantom

Predictable attacks and dodge mechanics accordingly.
Avoid the need to greed DPS here.

Trash #4 - Minotaur

Kill the four minotaur that spawns. Allow the assigned tanks to take aggro on the adds before engaging.
All Melees will take the outer ring to maintain DPS uptime.
Kill order: Rotate anti clockwise! Focus fire on a single add and kill the cow approaching you.

Guide on Boss Fights

Melees do not have very important mechanics to take note of since the Duty Actions are buffs to increase damage during their burst phases. Take note that only two players are assigned to Rend duty. These players are advised to use the user macros provided in the Discord. The user macro contains the timing used by the caster and how much time is left.

All Melee holsters have sufficient space to put Lost Protect II or Lost Shell II. These actions may be used before Boss 3 pulls; consider bringing to use them to allow Healers to bring more Lost Arise, they will be using more actions for the alliances' sake.

Important - All Melees must use Bannered of Honored Sacrifice and Lost Font of Power.

Boss #1 - Trinity Seeker

Align the two DPS buffs together at all times to maintain maximum DPS output.

Boss #2 - 4 kids' chess pieces

Monitor your DPS on the bosses. Try to keep both bosses around the same HP.
ABC attack West Boss, North Aura Spheres
DEF attack East Boss, South Aura Spheres

Boss #3 - Trinity Avowed

Should use Lost Shell II / Lost Protect II at pre-pull. All Melees have plenty of holster spaces, so don't be lazy!
DPS while maintaining personal mechanics on temperature

Boss #4 - Queen

Hold DPS burst when you see Queen's Edict (Super chess). Only use burst after.
Second pot window is after the second super chess.
Avoid a need to greed DPS and watch out for all the mechanics.
