Common questions about Melantha

Where should I place Melantha?

Pick a ground tile where she can isolate one enemy. A tile ahead of your main blocker works if the enemy reaches her alone and a Medic can support her.

Why does Melantha leak enemies?

Her block count is one. Pair her with a second blocker when enemies arrive together.
