MEL, THE SOUL’S REFLECTION, GRACES LEAGUE OF LEGENDS IN PATCH  25.S1.2



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.
 
“The wolf, the fox–both necessary, both unrelenting.”
 
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.
 
ABILITIES:
 


Passive - Searing Brilliance
 
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.
 


Q - Radiant Volley
 
Mel fires a barrage of projectiles that explode around a target location dealing damage repeatedly to enemies within the area.
 


W - Rebuttal
 
Mel gains Move Speed, forms a barrier around herself that reflects enemy projectiles back at the attacker, and prevents taking damage.
 


E - Solar Snare
 
Mel fires a radiant orb, Rooting enemies in the center while dealing damage over time and Slowing in an area around it.
 




R - Golden Eclipse
 
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.
