League of Legends Patch 25.S1.2 Mel, The Soul’s Reflection Champion

Hailing from Noxus, Mel Medarda utilizes her magical abilities to deal damage to opponents and protect herself. Her unique ability to reflect projectiles back at enemies sets her apart from other champions in the MOBA’s roster.
Here is a breakdown of Mel’s abilities, as detailed by the developer:
- Searing Brilliance (Passive): Whenever Mel uses an Ability, she gains three bonus projectiles on her next Attack, up to nine maximum. When Mel deals damage through an Ability or Attack, she applies Overwhelm which stacks up damage to execute the enemy. If the enemy is hit by Mel with enough Overwhelm damage to kill them, the stacks are consumed, executing them.
- Radiant Volley (Q): Mel fires a barrage of projectiles that explode around a target location, dealing damage repeatedly to enemies within the area.
- Rebuttal (W): Mel fires a barrage of projectiles that explode around a target location, dealing damage repeatedly to enemies within the area.
- Solar Snare (E): Mel fires a radiant orb, Rooting enemies in the center while dealing damage over time and Slowing in an area around it.
- Golden Eclipse (R): Mel strikes all enemies marked with Overwhelm regardless of range, dealing additional damage for each stack of Overwhelm. Ranks of Golden Eclipse increase Overwhelm’s damage.
LoL patch 25.S1.2 will likely include a range of balance changes and bug fixes targeting champions in need of adjustments based on data gathered since the start of the season.
