Still one of the marksman heroes (MM) damage per second (DPS) is quite effective, Melissa often quite troublesome in the late game. Once it is done, it will not be easy to pick off.
Even if you want to try ganking, he might be the one who will be "gacor" with only the ultimate and positioning. Now for those who are still confused about the best build to maximize their gameplay, let's see the full review!

The Most Painful Melissa Build in 2025
Without further ado, let's jump straight into the main discussion. As usual, in this build discussion, VCGamers will also present spells, emblems, and of course, items for the MM.
Spells
Actually, Melissa's spell choices are quite monotonous, she doesn't have enough spell options. This is considering her characteristics as a hero who relies more on basic attacks rather than spam skills.
Basically, she's a typical MM DPS hero. That's why the only spell that suits Melissa is Inspire to further boost her attack speed, especially if her second skill connects.
Emblems
As for the emblem, of course the best choice falls on Marksman, according to the role of this hero. And for the details of the three talent options, you can adjust them to the following build details:
- General Talent 1: “Swift” adds attack speed;
- General Talent 2: “Weapon Master” to increase the damage Melissa gets in the late game when her item is complete;
- Main Talent: "Weakness Finder" gives a slow effect (more difficult regardless of Melissa's second skill effect) and reduces the attack speed (advantage when one-on-one with the opposing team's goldlaner) of the opposing hero.
Items
Now to the most important part, namely items, Vicigers. As a DPS hero, of course the important attribute you need to grow is attack speed. To get all that, here is the build:
Slot 1: Swift Boots
Movement items are certainly suitable as an opener. You can choose Swift Boots to add movement and attack speed. This item is very suitable for MM DPS to buy during the early game.
Slot 2: Haas Claw > Rose Gold Meteor/Demon Hunter Sword (DHS)
In this second slot, you still have to focus on building Melissa's attack speed while giving her sustain capabilities.
Therefore, Haas Claw can be the right choice for the MM. If it is already late game, you can sell this item and replace it with other items, such as Rose Gold Meteor or DHS.
Slot 3: Corrosion Scythe
Entering the third item purchase, your Melissa should have opened the Ultimate Skill. And because Melissa's Ultimate makes her unable to move much, Corrosion Scythe can be a good item to increase attack speed.
Slot 4: Wind of Nature (WoN)
Although Melissa's Ulti can prevent her from being ganked by melee heroes, she still needs additional sustain capacity in the late game. So, buy WoN as well just in case.
Slot 5: Golden Staff
Don't let up! Boost Melissa's attack speed again with the Golden Staff in the fifth slot. That way, when combined with Inspire, the hero's basic attack speed will be "unstoppable"!
Slot 6: Immortal/Malefic Gun
Lastly, you can choose to buy Immortal as insurance in case you are caught by the opposing team's diver/crowd control (CC).
Or, if you are too confident with the micro Melissa that you have, you can also fill this slot 6 with 1 additional item from the Attack category: Malefic Gun.
