Learn how to play with Mel with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Pay attention to when Mel activates her W (Rebuttal), which makes her invulnerable to non-turret damage for 0.75 seconds. Wait for enemies to waste key projectile abilities that Mel can reflect back at them for bonus damage.
Team Fight
When ganking for Mel, wait for her to land her E (Solar Snare), which roots enemies for up to 2.25 seconds. This creates a perfect window for follow-up damage and additional crowd control.
Lane Phase
When Mel's W (Rebuttal) is on cooldown (23-35 seconds), she becomes vulnerable with no mobility. Provide extra protection during this window, especially against dive champions or assassins.
Team Fight Skirmish
Focus the same targets as Mel in fights to help reach her Passive's execution threshold faster. Enemies will have a dark, glowing mark above their heads when they're close to being executed.
Basic Skirmish Team Fight
In team fights, allow Mel to apply her Passive (Overwhelm) to multiple enemies before fully engaging. This setup enables her to cast her ultimate (Golden Eclipse) for maximum damage across the enemy team.
Team Fight
Mel's ultimate has global range and can hit enemies affected by her Passive (Overwhelm) even if they're not visible. When low health enemies escape, communicate with Mel about potential executes with her ultimate.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Watch for when Mel has built up maximum Searing Brilliance stacks (9). Her next basic attack will fire 9 additional projectiles for burst damage, making it an ideal time to engage on enemies.
Advanced Skirmish
Coordinate ganks and objective plays around Mel's power spikes at level 6 (when she gets her ultimate) and level 9 (when she maxes her Q ability).
Lane Phase Team Fight
Since Mel lacks mobility, help establish vision control by placing Control Wards in river or jungle entrances near mid lane. This protects her from flanks and ganks while helping her position safely in lane.
Basic Lane Phase
Use Mel's Q (Radiant Volley) for safe vision checks over walls before approaching objectives like Dragon or Baron. This ability provides vision during travel and upon explosion, helping spot potential ambushes.
