Editing Melter

{{CardAutobox}}
Melter is an uncommon Attack for [[The Defect]]. It destroys all of the targeted enemy's {{KW|Block}}, then inflicts a decent amount of damage. As an Uncommon card, Melter can appear as a post-battle reward and be purchased from The [[Merchant]].

Upgrading Melter increases the card's damage from 8 to 11.

=== Strategy ===
* Melter is a tech card - it's exceptionally strong against certain enemies. Luckily, high-Block enemies are particularly annoying, and it's a solid beatstick against the others.

* Melter excels against the [[Spheric Guardian]], effectively dealing 50 or more damage and setting up an easy turn-one kill. It also rips through the abilities of [[Shelled Parasite]] and [[Snake Plant]], and punishes Monsters with armor-granting abilities like [[Darkling]], [[Centurion & Mystic#Centurion|Centurion]], and most [[Minion|Minions]]. It beats [[The Guardian]] up immediately after it transforms, and speeds up the [[Donu and Deca]] final battle.

* Melter destroys {{KW|Block}} before inflicting its damage, meaning it will deal damage directly to Health. 

* Players will almost never encounter multiple high-shield enemies at once, making redundant copies of Melter unnecessary in small decks.

* As a solid standalone utility card, Melter is an oddity among The Defect's highly synergistic card pool. Its effect can translate into a big burst of damage, making it play nicely with efficient, aggressive cards like {{C|Hyperbeam}}.

* The armor-removing effect is not a [[Debuff]], so Melter will not trigger {{C|Sadistic Nature}} and is not nullified by {{KW|Artifact}}.

=== Trivia ===
Melter's art depicts what the card does best - melting a [[Spheric Guardian]].
