Mel

Searing Brilliance P

Searing Brilliance

Innate: Mel's damaging basic attacks and abilities apply a stack of Overwhelm to enemies for 5 seconds, refreshing on subsequent applications and stacking infinitely.
Overwhelm: Store 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 (based on Golden Eclipse's rank) (+ 10% AP) magic damage on the affected enemy with the first stack, reduced to 60% to 30 / 36 / 42 / 48 (based on Golden Eclipse's rank) (+ 6% AP) against minions. For each stack, store an additional 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 (based on Golden Eclipse's rank) (+ 0.75% AP) magic damage on the target. If the total post-mitigation damage stored exceeds the target's current health and shields, the next stack will consume them all to deal the damage.
Innate - Searing Brilliance: Mel's ability casts each generate 3 stacks of Searing Brilliance for 5 seconds, refreshing on subsequent casts and stacking up to 9 times. Her next basic attack consumes all stacks of Searing Brilliance to additionally fire an equal number of blazing projectiles at the target. Each projectile deals 8 − 25 (based on level) (+ 1% AP) magic damage.

Playing the matchup

Playing as 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.

Lore

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.
