Merle Ambrose is the Headmaster of Ravenwood, visiting from the Spiral. In FusionFall Forever he is a Cosmix World Nano that every character gets for free. There is no mission, no level requirement and no Fusion Matter cost.
How to get him
Log in. That is all.
- Characters that already existed on October 3, 2026 received him that day.
- Since B102 (October 17, 2026) every character that does not own him yet, including brand-new ones, receives him at login.
He appears in the WORLD NANOS section of the Nano Book with his own portrait.
Setting him up
Merle Ambrose arrives without a power. Before he is useful you need to choose one:
- Go to any Nano Station (the Past and the Future both have them, and every infected zone has one).
- Select Merle Ambrose and pick one of his three powers. The first choice is free.
- Put him in one of your Nano slots.
- Summon him from the Nano wheel like any other Nano.
Changing to another power later works as it does for every Nano: it costs Fusion Matter and five of the matching Power Item. Power Items cost 1,000 taros each at a Power Shopkeeper.
Powers
| Power | Kind | What it does | Power Item for a later change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spiral Storm | Damage, area | Ambrose calls down a crackling storm that damages every monster around you. | 5 x damage Power Item |
| Ravenwood Remedy | Heal, group | A healing charm that restores health to everyone in your group. | 5 x heal Power Item |
| Owl's Ward | Guard | His owl shields you: you take less damage, and your Boosts and Potions are protected. | 5 x guard Power Item |
Which one to take:
- Spiral Storm is the choice for clearing packs of monsters and for card hunting.
- Ravenwood Remedy suits group play, lairs and world bosses.
- Owl's Ward helps in a hard solo fight. Guard cuts incoming damage by 25%, or 30% with a Gumball.
Type and match-ups
Merle Ambrose is Cosmix. With him out you deal more damage to Adaptium monsters and less to Blastons monsters. Your Nano calls out when the match-up is right or wrong. If you already rely on Cosmix Level Nanos such as Eddy or Blossom, he gives you a third power to choose from without changing your type coverage.
Good to know
- He is a normal Nano in every other way: he uses stamina, takes Gumballs and Nano Potions, and can be swapped at a Nano Station at any time.
- Like every Nano, he cannot be traded.
- Ultra members can summon him in the Nano Army with the rest of their Nanos. See Nano Army.
- His home world is part of the game too. See Wizard101 Crossover for The Commons.
History
- October 3, 2026: Merle Ambrose arrives as Nano 53 with his own Nano Book icon and model on desktop, web and mobile.
- B102 (October 17, 2026): characters without him receive him at login.
