Playing as Mel

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke from range with your volley

    Stay back and poke with Radiant Volley (Q): its projectiles explode in an area up to 950 range, and each hit applies Overwhelm.

  2. An auto after each spell

    Land an auto after each spell: Searing Brilliance (passive) adds three projectiles to it per spell cast, and enough Overwhelm executes the target.

  3. Reflect their projectiles

    Save Rebuttal (W) for a dangerous projectile: the barrier sends it back to its caster, and you gain a shield and move speed.

  4. Land your snare dead center

    Hit your target head-on with Solar Snare (E): only the core of the orb roots, the aura around it just slows and damages.

  5. Finish from range with your R

    Cast Golden Eclipse (R) to finish from range: it hits every enemy marked by Overwhelm, wherever they are, harder with each stack.

Playing against Miss Fortune

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't stand behind low minions

    Don't stay behind a low-health minion: if Double Up (Q) kills it, the bounce that hits you always crits.

  2. Cut her speed with a small hit

    Hit her regularly, even with a small hit: Strut (W) only grants her passive move speed after a few seconds without taking damage.

  3. Go in if you can

    If you can engage, get on top of her: Miss Fortune has no dash or leap, only the speed from Strut (W).

  4. Interrupt her Bullet Time

    If you have CC, save it for Bullet Time (R): she channels in place, and interrupting her cancels the remaining waves.
