Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win most 2v2s through superior auto attack range and ability to follow up on Mel's E root with your own trap combo.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage as your R can execute low targets while Mel's W doesn't affect your auto attacks and traps.
Synergy & Trading
- Auto-Q-auto trade when enemies step up for CS, with Mel following up with Q poke to chunk them out.
- Your best all-ins come after Mel lands E root, allowing you to place traps and guarantee headshot procs while they're immobilized.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain slow pushes to build large waves that force enemies under tower, where Mel's Q can poke them while they struggle to CS.
- Use your range advantage to zone enemies from CS while Mel stacks Overwhelm on minions for execute pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste R when enemies are healthy as Mel's execute threshold is more reliable for finishing kills.
- Avoid fighting when Mel's W is down as you lose your main source of protection against Lux's burst combo.
