='''Melon(メロン)'''=
She became available to unlock on the PC version with the premier of the 08/03/2023 banner.

Another contender for the leader of the Pretty Bombers, Melon is the green haired '''Defender of Earth'''.

She does not like lazy people, non-humans, and aliens.

Gameplay-wise, Melon is    a straight forward, no-nonsense blocker with all the skills needed to perform the job. '''Now with REINFORCED BLOCKS'''.

* Reinforced blocks cannot be produced on top of already existing blocks
* Blocks cannot be created ontop of existing blocks.
* Blocks will not form where players are standing.
* Blocks can be created on top of minbos.
* Blocks created on a respawn point will prevent any further respawns, (until cleared).

'''Reinforced Blocks:'''

* Reinforced Blocks have an '''X''' on them. <u>They take two bomb explosions to get rid of.</u>
* Screw bombs go through reinforced blocks, but don't destroy them immediately. 
* After a reinforced block takes a single normal explosion, the '''X''' will be removed, and it'll become a normal soft block.
* The 1st+2nd explosion of Kuro's bunker buster will destroy a Reinforced block.
* the Initial movement of [Kuro Kick & Sunlight Fire Bomb!] will not break a reinforced block, but the subsequent explosion will take the '''X''' off the block.

* '''If the remaining time is up to 60 seconds''' (55 seconds for rank 10), the '''Last Voice''' will be up in time.
* '''If the remaining time is less than 60 seconds,''' '''save your Last Voice for the 10 seconds or less'''. However, if base is likely to be destroyed, use it immediately.
* '''If you use the Last voice when remaining time is 3 seconds or less, Last Voice won't be used in time. Remember to use at maximum at 3.5 seconds remaining.'''

=='''Strategy and Tactics'''==

* Reinforced blocks is a new mechanic implemented with Melon, which makes her super strong. However, to earn this benefit, she has the longest cooldown of all blockers to create blocks. Be careful when managing to block respawn.
* Since her blocking skills takes a lot of time, be careful when building the U-shaped Castle inside base. Pay attention to the movement at center of map, and go defend earlier if necessary.
* Try to place the reinforced blocks towards the north, where enemies will come.
* Melon God Voice Healing is the strongest heal in the game, which means she can activate Rush without much effort. Be careful when healing to avoid that.
* '''When healing tower facing towards gate, remember to enter the gap inside the Tower, otherwise you gonna waste your heal.'''
