Welcome to M.E.L.E.T.I.S soldier! Your mission, if you choose to accept, is to help guide our field operative Daxos of Meletis through his attempt to bring down our enemies and recover our stolen goods. If you are inclined to carry out this task, please read the mission briefing enclosed below. If not, be on your way.

What is M.E.L.E.T.I.S.?

M.E.L.E.T.I.S is the Mortals Examining Large Enormities in Theros' Infrastructure Systems.

Put in simpler terms, M.E.L.E.T.I.S. is a group of talented soldiers, sorcerers, spies, and smiths who are dedicated to finding and wiping out evils on Theros and beyond.

Mission Details

Powerful entities from around the multiverse have been forming large forces on planes and attacking each other. Their motivations are unknown. They posses immense levels of power and technology, and left unchecked they would tear the fabric of the multiverse apart with their battles. Its up to you, Daxos, and our team of specialists to intercept these battles, take down the hostiles, and retrieve as much new information as you possibly can. Good luck.

Your Tools

Our smiths and sorcerers have spent many long hours crafting and perfecting supplies and techniques to get your missions done quickly and effectively. Every resource you have is a tool, so be sure to use them wisely.

Gear

Here at M.E.L.I.T.I.S, we have an arsenal of weapons, armor, and other useful armaments to help Daxos through his mission. From bio-mechanical enhancements to an assortment of sharp weapons, there is a piece of gear for every occasion.

Operatives

You and Daxos are not the only ones working on this mission. Our specialized operatives are here to lend a hand when times get tough, or even sub out for Daxos if the need arises. Felidar Sovereign is powerful enough to bring a mission to a successful close all by himself.

Chloroform

Destroy threats before the become threats! Our many different types of chemical engineered chloroforms will take almost anything out of the game before it can become a problem.

Maneuvers

Daxos and the operatives are trained in a variety of different tricks and tactics. Whether its forging gear on the go, protecting yourself from enemy tactics, or deploying magical wings to soar through the sky, these maneuvers will get the job done.

Detainment

Sometimes a threat will prove too potent to simply ignore. Here at M.E.L.I.T.I.S we have employed many different methods of detainment to deal with pesky obstacles during your mission. Try freezing, banishing, or purely obliterating any roadblocks that arise during your task.

Disguises

The Department of Disguise has created many different magical auras for you to deploy during your missions, all with varying effects. Use these to help Daxos blend in with the locals and neutralize the target.

Recon Points

One of the most imperative parts of your mission is the capturing and utilization of Recon Points. Hidden throughout various Islands and Plains, you will need to draw power, information, and tactics from these locations.

Gadgets

Not stable enough to be applied directly to Daxos, not suitable to use as a weapon,these gadgets are still helpful nonetheless. Norn's Annex keeps our enemies from breaching our defenses, Well of Lost Dreams helps us utilize some of the power we claim from the enemy.

Commissioner

In times of need, one of our commissioners will reveal herself. Thats right, Elspeth herself is ready to help fight for your mission. Whether you need her to summon some agents, bolster your agent's resolve, or silence an entire army of monsters, Elspeth is ready to go.
Jace Beleren has also pleged to help our cause, and can be called upon to glean new intel and give a tactical advantage.

Gear and Disguise Specifics

Daxos has a large variety of Gear and Disguises at the ready. They can be divided into multiple categories depending on their uses.

Protection

Daxos needs to keep himself safe. The best way to do this is with protection! Prevents daxos from being burnt, stolen, exiled, destroyed, or anything else that involves the word "target".
Swiftfoot Boots , Indestructibility .

Utility/Evasion

Some gear provides alternate effects to help get the job done. Other gear helps Daxos slip through enemy lines with even less resistance than he normally has.
Explorer's Scope , Fireshrieker , Prowler's Helm , Aqueous Form , Battle Mastery .

Conditional Power

Not all gear works well under every circumstance. These tools will be very fickle; extremely helpful in one environment and borderline useless in others.
Golem-Skin Gauntlets , Righteous Authority , Blackblade Reforged

Counters

The greatest part about counters is they are far harder to remove than gear/disguises. These tools with help make Daxos powerful, even if they get lost in the end.
Sword of Truth and Justice , Sunbond

Straight Power

These are the tools that provide a power boost as one of their effects. Some boast powerful additional effects and abilities, and some do not, but they all provide a strength advantage..
Bonesplitter , Grafted Exoskeleton , Hero's Blade , Loxodon Warhammer , Scytheclaw , Slayer's Plate , Sword of Kaldra , Sword of Vengeance , Silver-Inlaid Dagger , Butcher's Cleaver , Magebane Armor , Masterwork of Ingenuity
