Learn how to play with Mel with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Mel lands her E (Solar Snare), immediately follow up with your own damage or crowd control abilities. The root lasts up to 2.25 seconds at max rank, providing an excellent window to chain CC or secure kills.
Team Fight Skirmish
Mel's W (Rebuttal) makes her invulnerable for 0.75 seconds and reflects projectiles, but has a long cooldown (35-23 seconds). When this ability is on cooldown, she is much more vulnerable to all-in attacks.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Help Mel apply her passive to multiple enemies before team fights. Her R (Golden Eclipse) hits all marked targets simultaneously, maximizing damage when cast on several enemies at once.
Advanced Team Fight
Provide movement speed buffs or gap-closing assistance for Mel, as she lacks mobility tools. Champions with abilities that can help reposition allies work especially well with her.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
Mel's passive can execute enemies when enough damage is stored on them. Watch for a dark, glowing mark above an enemy's head - this indicates they're approaching the execute threshold.
Lane Phase Skirmish
When Mel reaches level 6, she gains significant kill potential through her ultimate. Look for engagement opportunities when enemies have multiple stacks of her passive applied.
Lane Phase
In the late game, always group with Mel. She deals significant damage but remains vulnerable to flanks and assassins, functioning best when protected by teammates who can peel for her.
Late Game
Position yourself to take advantage of the slow field from Mel's E ability. The 30% slow makes it easier to land skillshots or kite enemies inside the affected area.
Skirmish Team Fight
During the early game, provide protection for Mel as she lacks mobility and is vulnerable to all-in champions. Position between her and potential threats when possible.
Basic Lane Phase
Ask Mel to use her Q (Radiant Volley) to check brushes or over walls when approaching uncertain areas. It provides vision during travel and upon explosion, potentially revealing hidden enemies.
