Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and Q poke since Mel's Q has travel time you can sidestep, but post-6 becomes dangerous as her R can execute you if you're caught with stacks.
- Pyke's engage threat limits your aggression throughout all phases.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to poke Mel when her W is down, then immediately E away from Pyke's hook range.
- Coordinate with Leona's E engage when Mel uses W defensively, as she'll be vulnerable during the cooldown window.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves quickly with Q spam to deny Mel's Q poke opportunities and force her to use mana on waveclear.
- Keep the wave in a position where you can E to safety if Pyke flanks from river or brushes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get baited into trading when Mel has W available, as she can reflect your Q back for more damage than you dealt.
- Avoid extended trades where Mel can stack Overwhelm on you, as her execute threshold becomes lethal combined with Pyke's damage.
