Her Great Magic Passive increases her Attack whereas her Storm Passive increases the entire team’s Critical Hit Rate. Merlin is fantastic on all fronts - she has the rare Critical Hit Rate party buff, high Freeze uptime, and can even apply Defense shred.
She is excellent at all stages of the game and is, alongside Tristan, one of the linchpins of the Healerless CC chain raid teams at the launch of the game. Even now, she still sees use because her Freeze comes in clutch at stopping otherwise team wiping boss attacks.
Merin’s Card Water Dragon’s Blessing can be used by Magic DPS. It provides a team wide Attack buff whereas its Stat Lines increase the user's Magic Attack and Magic Critical Hit Rate. This is hands down one of the best Wizard Cards.
Possessing both Magic Attack and Critical Hit Rate on top of a permanent team Attack buff makes it a staple card in every team.
