Meld

Meld is a Venus Djinni found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age, and is overall the thirteenth Venus Djinni found, and is thus the sixth Venus Djinni found in The Lost Age.

Location
Meld is found in the initially accessible portion of Islet Cave once the item trading sequence necessary to gain access into it is completed. It must be battled.

As an opponent
Meld has 710 HP, 65 PP, 221 Attack, 65 Defense, 187 Agility, and 22 Luck.

It can use a physical attack as well as cast Quake Sphere, Clay Spire, Mother Gaia, Wild Growth, and Nettle.

When felled it yields 729 EXP and 531 coins.

Description
When Set, it increases base HP by 9, base Agility by 9, and base Luck by 1.

When used, Meld compels the user and the current battling ally with the highest attack rating to physically attack the target simultaneously. The attack is enchanced by 25% of the attack rating of the Adept wielding Meld, and is of Venus element.

Analysis
Meld is somewhat of a gimmick, as Echo and Geode will enhance the damage by 60% and 90% of the unleashing character's own attack respectively, which in almost all cases is better than 25% from even the strongest ally's attack. However, it is fairly common for a player to use passwords from an original Golden Sun team that is vastly higher levelled than the player's Lost Age team, in which cases Meld can still output similar damage.

Name Origin
Meld's name is of the same origin as Mold's name.
