Who Wins

  • You win pre-6 through aggressive early trades with Q poke and W-E combos, as Mel lacks sustain and has limited mobility to escape your engage.
  • Post-6 becomes more challenging as Mel's R gives her global pressure and her W can reflect your Q poke, forcing you to rely more on all-ins with W engage.

How to Trade

  • Look for W engage when Mel uses Q for waveclear or mispositions, then follow with E and Q for maximum damage before backing off.
  • Avoid trading when her W is available as it can reflect your Q back and give her movement speed to kite away from your combo.

Wave Control

  • Push aggressively early to deny Mel farm and force her under tower where she's vulnerable to dives.
  • After 6, match her roam potential with your R or look for picks in river when she tries to rotate for global plays.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste Q poke when her W is available as the reflection can turn trades heavily in her favor.
  • Avoid extended fights in minion waves where her Q can hit you through AoE while she builds Overwhelm stacks for execute potential.
