Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades with Pantheon's engage potential, but Mel's W can reflect your W and Q poke back at you.
- Post-6 becomes more difficult as Mel's R global pressure and Nilah's all-in potential with her R make extended fights dangerous.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W to root enemies when Pantheon lands W stun, then follow with Q bounce damage while he uses Q and E.
- Avoid using abilities when Mel's W barrier is up as she'll reflect your damage back to you.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves early to deny Nilah farm and force her to last-hit under tower where she's weakest.
- Be ready to give up wave control post-6 when Mel's global R threat makes aggressive positioning too risky.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use your W or Q when Mel has W available as the reflection will chunk you heavily.
- Avoid staying in lane with low health as Mel's R can execute you globally if you have Overwhelm stacks.
