Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through superior range and Q poke damage, as Mel lacks early waveclear to match your pressure.
- At level 6, Mel gains significant kill pressure with R execute potential, making the matchup more dangerous for you.
How to Trade
- Use Q through minions for extended range poke, then immediately back off to avoid Mel's Q retaliation.
- Never commit to extended trades since Mel's passive stacks and execute threshold make prolonged fights heavily favor her.
Wave Control
- Push early waves aggressively with Q to establish priority before Mel's waveclear comes online.
- After level 6, maintain distance and only shove when you have vision, as Mel's global R can set up ganks from anywhere on the map.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use E aggressively when Mel's W is available, as she can reflect your bubble back and turn your engage into her advantage.
- Avoid staying in lane with low HP after level 6, since Mel's R execute becomes increasingly dangerous as Overwhelm stacks accumulate.
