Who Wins
- You're weak pre-6 against Pantheon's burst and Jhin's poke, especially levels 2-3 when they have full combo potential.
- Post-6 you become much stronger with R teamfight potential and better sustain through extended fights.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to farm safely and heal, then look for all-ins when Jhin is reloading or Pantheon's E is down.
- Your W can dodge Jhin's W root and reduce incoming damage during trades.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Focus on farming safely under tower early, using Q to sustain and clear waves.
- Push for level 6 quickly where your R gives you strong all-in potential with Mel's follow-up.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't take extended poke trades early as you lack sustain before items and levels.
- Avoid fighting when you're low on health as Mel's Overwhelm stacks make you vulnerable to her R execute.
