Who Wins

  • Pre-6 you struggle against Caitlyn's range and Nami's sustain, but Mel's W helps mitigate their poke advantage.
  • Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with E-W-Q combo, especially when Mel lands E root to set up your cage.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use W-Q when Mel lands her E root for guaranteed damage, or when Caitlyn is trapped by your E cage.
  • Let Mel initiate trades with her Q poke, then follow up with your burst when enemies are slowed or rooted.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Focus on farming safely and stacking your passive rather than forcing aggressive plays early.
  • Use Q to last-hit minions from maximum range and let Mel handle most of the wave management with her superior poke.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your E cage without proper setup from Mel's E or when enemies have mobility spells available.
  • Avoid face-checking bushes where Caitlyn might have traps placed, as you're extremely vulnerable to her headshot combos.
