Who Wins
- You win early trades pre-6 due to your superior mobility and ability to dodge Mel's Q poke with E dashes.
- Post-6 becomes more dangerous as Mel's R execute threat forces you to respect her Overwhelm stacks and play more cautiously around her global pressure.
How to Trade
- Look to E dash through minions to close distance, then W-Q combo when Mel uses abilities on wave.
- Your E reset on takedown allows for extended trades, but disengage immediately if she lands E root as her follow-up damage is substantial.
Wave Control
- Push waves aggressively with Q-W to create roam timers, as Mel wants to farm safely and scale.
- Use your superior mobility to create side lane pressure while she's forced to match your waveclear or lose CS.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught in extended trades when you have multiple Overwhelm stacks, as her execute threshold becomes lethal.
- Avoid fighting in narrow spaces where her W reflection can easily hit you back with your own abilities.
