Who Wins
- You win pre-6 with Q setup into Caitlyn's burst combo and superior poke range.
- Post-6 remains strong with R adding kill pressure, but Mel's W reflecting your Q back creates dangerous moments where you can be instantly caught.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q when Mel's W is on cooldown, then follow with E-auto while Caitlyn adds headshot damage.
- Save R for guaranteed kills rather than poke since Mel's barrier can absorb significant damage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when the wave is pushed and Mel has used Q for waveclear, as she'll be low on mana and less threatening.
- Avoid roaming when Ezreal has E available as he can easily escape ganks and waste your time.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use Q when Mel's W is active as the reflected bind will stun you instead, leaving you vulnerable to their full combo.
- Don't stand directly behind Caitlyn during fights as Mel's Q AoE can hit both of you simultaneously.
