Eyes on You!

DebuffAOE

The plan's like this: Throw Muddles out to hold down the bad guys, and then… I come on stage! "I puncture the bad guys, while Giggles hit Muddles to punish them as well! Hee, fantastic!" (Muddles deals 175 (+50% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage on the first hit and links nearby enemies for up to 6s. Linked enemies are slowed by 60% that decays over 1.5s and can break the link by moving out of the range. Muddles will return to Melissa early when there are no enemies around and immediately if she's too far away. When Muddles is present, you can tap the Attack Minion button to directly attack Muddles, though it cannot trigger the multi-hit damage. Giggles only hits Muddles when Melissa has a target for her Basic Attack.)

Go Away!

SummonBuff

"Cuddles, protect me! For 4 seconds, let no bad guys come close. Unless I say otherwise!" (Upon activation, Melissa gains a 300 (+200% Extra Physical Attack) shield and knocks back enemies in the area, dealing 500 (+100% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage. Enemies attempting to enter the field are knocked back, taking 50 (+10% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage and slowed briefly. Movement skills are interrupted unless the target has Control Immunity. The field will move with Melissa once, when she's about to move out of the boundary.)
