Who Wins
- You lose early levels due to Mel's superior range and Q poke, but can win level 6 all-ins if you successfully engage.
- Your R provides gap-closing and damage reduction that makes extended fights favorable once you reach her.
How to Trade
- Look for Q resets through minions to gap-close, then commit to extended trades with W damage reduction and passive stacks.
- Avoid short poke trades where Mel can Q you and disengage safely with her range advantage.
Wave Control
- Push early waves to prevent Mel from freely poking you while farming, but be cautious of jungle ganks.
- Look for opportunities to freeze near your tower where you can run her down the long lane if she overextends.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to trade when Mel has W available as she can reflect your damage and gain movement speed to escape.
- Avoid fighting in minion waves where her Q can hit both you and minions for maximum damage and waveclear.
