Key Tips:

  1. Prioritize using Passive on enemy champions (especially ADC or squishy support) over minions for health advantage
  2. Be selective with W usage - avoid using against champions like Leona or Blitzcrank whose CC brings them closer
  3. Stay with teammates during mid-game for safety, as Mel is vulnerable when alone

W Usage Warning:

  • Ineffective against gap-closing CC abilities
  • Not recommended against:
    • Leona
    • Blitzcrank
    • Similar engage supports

Positioning Tips:

  • Maintain safe distance in lane
  • Stay with team during mid-game
  • Avoid solo warding
  • Play defensively when alone due to high squishiness
