Melding- anyone figure this out yet

[Wildflower]

When re-sainting the blue one again it gave me new sanctifications.

Melding transfers the stars and saint levels from one hero to another.
The second hero's previous stars and saints are all discarded.

Imperfect Meld: All star levels minus 1, and all saint levels minus 1, gets transferred from hero 1 to hero 2.
Perfect Meld: Hero 2 will get the same star and saint levels as Hero 1.

You cannot meld Hero 1 to Hero 2 if Hero 1 has a lower star or saint level than Hero 2.
You cannot meld Hero 1 to Hero 2 if the two heroes are a different color.


And before Morgan comments, I have observed and tested these on various heroes.

Thanks Herby. As usual your observations are very helpful. I do have some questions:

1. This one is for Dawnseeker. The definition of Meld is "a thing formed by merging or blending". How is this process a 'meld'? There is no merging or blending.
2. Why would I ever replace (since that is what it really is) the stars/saint attributes of a hero that more/better starts/saint attributes with the ones from a hero that has less if in the process I loose some of the attributes being transferred? Even if I paid the 100 Gems I will always end up with one Hero (the recipient one) with lesser stars/saint attributes that it started with and one hero (the donor) with no stars/saint attributes.

Your number 2 is backwards. Hero 1 (the hero merging into the other hero) must have higher stars/sanctifications and be of an equal value (blue, purple, gold). when you meld them hero 2 (the hero being merged into) must have lower stars/sanctifications than hero 1. You would do this if say you had Valla, at half angel III with 8 stars. and you got a great new purple hero that you would much rather use. You would meld Valla into the new hero granting the new hero either Half Angel II with 7 stars(imperfect meld) or Half Angel III with 8 stars (perfect meld). Another great example would be if you were using Rhize and had really awesome saints and stars on him, but then picked up Blood. Obviously you would want to use Blood immediately. So you could transfer the Saints and Stars from Rhize to Blood. Essentially a great way to quickly upgrade new heroes as you move through the ranks.

Sorry about that. I misread Herby's post

[Kruize]

Could always just load dawnbringer up with cheaper saints (800 spirit), and transfer a 15 saint set to any other gold hero.

[DrthCaedus]

anyone know if it's possible to merge into our main heroes???

[mattp169]

no i dont think you can. I have not seen Main as a choice in the meld window

[logi_2957934]

It was a huge letdown when I realized that this function was wrongly named

It is not melding, it is a pure and simple transfer... Correct me if I am wrong but melding means combining, does it not?

[logi_2957934]

Just went and looked up meld......means blend or combine...there is none of that in this process.

Transfering heros has the potential to be of some use, but MELDING, would have been a huge addition.
