How to beat Mel

Common role: Mid / Support

A radiant mage whose barrier reflects your own spells back at you.

What makes Mel dangerous

Mel stacks Overwhelm with volleys of projectiles, roots in a radiant orb (E), and her W is the nightmare: a barrier that REFLECTS every projectile back at the attacker. Her ultimate strikes every marked enemy across any distance, executing stacked targets.

How to play against Mel

• 1HOLD your projectiles during her W — ults have been reflected into own teams.
• 2Melee and non-projectile damage ignore the reflect — dive her with those.
• 3Shed Overwhelm stacks by backing off before her R threshold.
• 4Immobile outside W speed — hard engage sticks.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓The reflect has a cooldown — bait it with cheap spells.
• ✓Squishy and dash-less.
• ✓Stack-dependent execute: resets punish her patience.
• ✓Weak against melee all-ins that feed nothing to reflect.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Mel's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  灼灼之光

  每当梅尔使用技能，她的下一次攻击将额外附带3枚弹体（最多9枚）。当梅尔通过一次技能或攻击造成伤害时，她会施加【夺命残影】——一种可以无限叠加的效果。如果目标身上叠加了足够的夺命残影伤害量，则会在下一次被梅尔命中时被直接处决，同时消耗效果层数。

  Strong: casts add bonus projectiles to her next attack; Overwhelm stacks toward an execute. Weak: stacks decay — reset the fight and her math resets too.

• Q
  耀光齐射

  梅尔发射一连串耀光飞弹，飞弹会在目标位置周围爆炸，对范围内的敌人造成多段伤害。

  Strong: a repeating barrage zone for poke and stacks. Weak: a visible target area — strafe out between pulses.

• W
  灵魂折镜

  梅尔生成一道屏障围绕自身，这道屏障会将敌方弹体反弹给攻击者，使她免受伤害，并为她提供移动速度。

  Strong: REFLECTS every projectile back at the attacker. Weak: a long cooldown — bait it with cheap spells, then unload.

• E
  阳炎涡旋

  梅尔发射一颗阳炎法球，禁锢中心区域的敌人并减速周围区域的敌人并造成持续伤害。

  Strong: a rooting orb with a slowing damage field. Weak: the root is only the orb's centre — graze the rim safely.

• R
  鎏金蚀日

  梅尔无视距离，对所有带有【夺命残影】层数的敌人进行打击，造成基于【夺命残影】层数的额外伤害。【鎏金蚀日】的技能等级会提升【夺命残影】的伤害。

  Strong: strikes ALL Overwhelm-marked enemies at ANY distance. Weak: damage scales on stacks — shed them by disengaging early.

Itemization

Bait the barrier with cheap casts, then unload. Melee dives ignore her signature tool entirely.
