Mel the Soul's Reflection

Mel Medarda is the presumed heir of the Medarda family, once one of the most powerful in Noxus. In appearance she is a graceful aristocrat, but beneath the surface lies a skilled politician who makes it her business to know everything about everyone she meets. After an encounter with the mysterious Black Rose, Mel discovered the depths of her mother's deception and, for once, faced a situation potentially beyond her control. With newly awakened magical abilities, she sailed home in search of answers—and though many still seek to temper the light within her, Mel's soul remains forever defiant.

    Searing Brilliance

    Whenever Mel uses an ability, she gains three bonus projectiles (up to nine maximum) on her next attack.

MetaBot Tips

  • Mel has a much early late game win rate than their late game win rate. Take advantage of this by playing aggressive early on and trying to snowball through kills.
  • Mel has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
  • Mel has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
  • Mel has more magic resistance than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against magic damage type enemies.
  • Mel has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.

Gameplay Tips

Playing Mel

  • Mel can reflect enemy projectiles, including powerful spells. Wait until she casts Rebuttal before throwing powerful projectiles her way.
  • The more Mel hits you, the more Overwhelm stacks she applies. If your health drops too low her next hit will kill you, so back off for a couple seconds to let the Overwhelm stacks fall off.
