Carmelo is *fantastic*. He has naturally high base HP and Atk at LB0, even when compared to fellow 5* Archers. He's designed to be a frontline Archer (a rarity), so he's more suited to melee combat. While he does have high HP for a ranged unit, it still pales in comparison compared to 'true' melee Soldiers and Knights. That's remedied by his skill, which he can safely fire off from long range. Furthermore, in v2, he receives a 15% HP buff, giving him some extra health to withstand those melee hits.

tl;dr - Great niche unit. WIll be even better once v2 (and other Archers) roll around.
