Who Wins
- You win pre-6 all-ins if you can catch either enemy without Mel's W up, as your burst combo outdamages their retaliation.
- Post-6 becomes more complex as Pyke's R resets and Mel's global execute can clean up fights from safety.
Synergy & Trading
- Engage with E when Mel wastes W on waveclear or poke, then immediately Q-W combo to lock down your target before Pyke can counter-engage.
- Focus Mel first since she's squishier and her W has a longer cooldown than Pyke's mobility tools.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam after successful recalls or when Ezreal can safely farm under tower, targeting mid lane around levels 4-6.
- Time roams when Mel is low on mana from Q spam, as she can't effectively follow with her W on cooldown.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't engage when Mel has both W and E available, as she can reflect your damage and root you for Pyke's follow-up.
- Avoid committing to all-ins when you're already marked with Overwhelm stacks, as Mel's R can execute you even through your tankiness.
