Melisandre Best Skills and Tactics Loadout

Priority	Action and Recommended Conditions	Explanation
1	Keen Edge ┗ Scout Enemies Present	Setting Keen Edge to Scout Enemies Present will ensure that Melisandre prioritizes enemy Scouts first with Keen Edge's True Strike. This condition will be skipped if no Scouts are present.
2	Keen Edge ┗ Prioritize Flying	Set a second tactic for Keen Edge to Prioritize Flying to target evasive Flying enemies. If no Flying enemies are present, Melisandre will target enemies closest to her.
3	Impale ┗ Target HP is less than 50%	If Melisandre gets more AP from Parry, use Impale against enemies with less than 50% HP. Defeating an enemy with Impale gives Melisandre +1 PP to Parry more melee attacks.
4	Hastened Strike ┗ Scout Enemies Present	Similar to Keen Edge, set Hastened Strike to Scout Enemies Present to eliminate enemy Scouts at the beginning of battle. This tactic will also be skipped if Scout are not present.
5	Hastened Strike ┗ Prioritize Flying	This second tactic for Hastened Strike will Prioritize Flying targets. If no Flying enemies are present, Melisandre will target enemies closest to her.
6	Parry ┗ -	Parry can be used freely, so you can leave its condition blank.
