| The Merlin is the most capable Caldari frigate for PvP but still falls behind the Rifter in effectiveness. Its unique selling point is the possession of four midslots which are very useful for tacklers. The merlin's one flaw is its mixed 2 turret and 2 launcher high slot layout, which limits its effectiveness at dealing damage. | | The Merlin is the most capable Caldari frigate for PvP but still falls behind the Rifter in effectiveness.

| |notes=This heavier but slower tackler makes use of the Merlin's excellent shield tank, with over 3000 EHP against the weakest EMP resistance. The "recommended" skillset allows fitting of a microwarpdrive in place of the afterburner, if the guns are downgraded to 125mm. Weapon range is less than 4km without range-boosting skills, so you need to orbit close (watch out for smartbomb battleships). Choose ammo type to match your target.<br>
| |
| Improving your fitting skills further or replacing meta-0 with named modules will free up even more powergrid for better weapons or T2 systems.
