Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win trades through superior range and Blitzcrank's hook threat, but Mel's Q poke and W reflection can neutralize your advantage.
- Post-6 you maintain edge through R execute potential and better all-in burst, though Mel's global R becomes dangerous.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W to root enemies caught by Blitzcrank's Q, then follow with Q bounce damage and fourth shot.
- Stay behind minions to avoid Mel's E root while using your range advantage to poke with Q bounces.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves with Q bounces to create hook angles for Blitzcrank and deny Mel easy Q poke opportunities.
- Avoid slow-pushing into Mel's waveclear as she can stack Overwhelm on multiple minions then transfer to champions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W or R when Mel's W barrier is active as the reflection will turn your abilities against you.
- Respect her E root range as it enables easy Twitch positioning for trades.
