Champion Update: Melf

Born into the royal family of Celene, he assumed the simple name of Melf eschewing a life of comfort as a noble to study the arcane arts and train as a swordsman. He delved in the dungeons of Castle Greyhawk, the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth and many other harrowing places honing his skills, knowledge and amassing powerful magical items. Melf sees himself as a weapon of weal hurtling toward the heart of the darkest evils in the realm. He is opinionated and has a touch of conceit that he is blissfully ignorant of possessing..

Melf is receiving a major update arriving at the start of the second week of the Great Modron March. Lets take a look at the new-and-improved Melf!

Abilities

Basic Attack

Melf in the Middle - Melf increases the range of Melf's Custom Support Spell by 2 and the effect of Melf's Custom Support Spell by 400% if Melf is in the column in the formation with the most Champions. In the event of a formation with multiple columns of the same size, Melf can be in any of them.
Melf's Righteous Determination - Melf knows exactly what evil is. Whenever an enemy spawns, or is attacked by Melf, it has a 50% chance of being deemed "evil". Enemies that are deemed evil take 1000% more damage from all attacks that deal BUD-based damage (such as Ultimate Attacks).

Melf's Custom Support Spell is increased by 400% for each Champion in the formation with that type, stacking multiplicatively, and Melf changes his attack to match. If tied, all tied attack types count.
Melf's Ranked Roles - Melf counts the most represented non-Support Role among the other Champions in the formation. Melf's Custom Support Spell is increased by 400% for each Champion in the formation with that role, stacking multiplicatively, and Melf gains the Role. If tied, all tied Roles count.
