Merida is a character in Disney Heroes: Battle Mode. She is the main protagonist in the 2012 Disney/Pixar movie Brave. To unlock this character, you need 10 Merida Chips.
Description[]
Merida is an adventurous princess with unparalleled archery skills.
Strategy[]
Merida is quite effective at quickly dealing damage to multiple enemies. Her White Skill is especially good against large groups of enemies, as she's able to bombard the entire enemy team with arrows for heavy damage. But better yet, if there's only one enemy left, Merida will simply focus all the arrows on that enemy, almost certainly killing it. This can make it easy to defeat powerful tanks like Mr. Incredible or Chief Bogo who would normally be difficult to fight under any circumstances. Merida's other skills are also great for damage-dealing purposes; her Green skill is a straightforward shot that pierces through enemies for massive damage, her Blue skill lets her buff her attack speed and damage once her health falls below 50%, and her Purple skill allows her to lower enemies' armor. She does best when paired with Support Heroes to back her up.
Merida's capacity for dealing damage can be even further enhanced using the Memory Disks she acquires from Elastigirl ans Chief Bogo. The Junior Super Memory Disk, obtained from Elastigirl, makes every third arrow she shoots an ice arrow that freezes enemies, giving her the perk of being a damage/control hybrid. Meanwhile, the Bullheaded Redhead Memory Disk received from Bogo instead lets Merida use fire arrows that burn enemies over time, further augmenting her damage output.

Trivia[]
- Merida is one of the few characters that has an unlockable costume that can be otained by a Cosmetic Crate. It contains her princess dress from the Brave movie.
- Merida's model was much more primitive early in the game, simply taking her 3D model from her movie and drawing over it, before it was refined to fit with the game's art style. She also had a more serious expression before changing to a smirk.
- Merida was the first Disney Princess added to the game. Ever since then, the game continues to add each official member of Disney Princess for every month, until Tiana (the last Disney Princess added in the game).
