General Thoughts
Merald is a 5-star unit that plays the Physical attacker role. Her stats are decent for a 5-star but she’s pretty limited for being an attacker.
She only has three skills which are limiting for a physical attacker. Outrider being a straight physical damage move with 100% LB increase, and her final skill Flash Axe is a Lightning element AoE.
Her other skill is Upcharger which boosts ATK by 80% for 3 turns and increases LB gauge. But all around, she really doesn’t have that much to do in her skills.
In her Traits, she has two boosts, a Killer trait giving her 50% damage on beasts, and a counter that uses her conditional skill which decreases lightning resistance on enemies by 30%.
Her Limit Break is a lightning element attack and a ATK/DEF increase to her. So she has some usage and backing in terms of damage but there isn’t really a lot to her.
Verdict: A very simple 5-star attacker. There are much better ones out there.

The crown prince of the merchant nation of Damcyan who appears in the tales of a blue planet watched over by two moons. Edward is in line to become the seventh king of Damcyan, and although kind-hearted, is sensitive and cowardly in nature. As a member of the royal family, he is both a businessman and a bard. However, his strong disinterest in politics lead him to conceal his identity and wander from place to place as a simple bard instead. During his travels he meets a young woman named Anna, and the two fall in love.
