It's not as healthy as mammoths/elephants, and is smaller, so it's not quite vastly better. They also cost many more resources than eles/mammoths. Bigger tramplers do much more damage when they trample. They do have a lot more protection though. When you get to stellar cascades try spamming that with 4+ mages and aim a bunch of slingers or something at them. They'll take a lot of extra damage as the fatigue mounts, and you'll eventually be able to take them down probably without too many losses at that point. You could also try fire bolas.

Curses are very good against SCs, if you can give a melqart a chest wound it is going to die eventually regardless of how good of a bless it has.
